Hobie Hartkins Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Has anyone else noticed how, when Boss' speed trap nails a speeder and he has to play and sing to get out of the fine and avoid jail time etc., that that one person sounds like a whole band? A perfect example is Roy Orbison. I just saw him on one and he played an Ovation 6 string acoustic and out of that, came a bass guitar and a drum set.…!!! Why didn't they at least have the entire band there to make it at least LOOK right! Dottie West is another example. They DID have all the Oak Ridge boys there once but most of them were a one man invisible band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I guess it was probably was just cheaper to dub them in and pretend the background music is playing through the Boars Next sound system. Same reason (I suspect) all of the speeders had a contract with Warner Brothers at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Good observation. One thing that amazes me about the Dukes of Hazzard. Despite all the faults and bloopers somehow it is still the greatest television show in the history of our vast Universe.

MaximRecoil Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 It can be justified by imagining that they were singing their own songs on a karaoke machine. Of course, in reality they were just lip-syncing to a studio recording, which is often done even in "live" concert performances these days, especially by pop singers whose studio recordings are greatly enhanced with Auto-Tune and other "studio sweetening" effects which can't be duplicated live. Some of the performances on the show were real though, like Loretta Lynn's, which she did in spite of having a sore throat. When they had Waylon Jennings on the show, he lip-synced to a studio recording like most of the others did. If anyone should have done a real performance for the show, it should have been him, and the song should have been Good Ol' Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
