“Convoy G.B.” was recorded by Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks, who were actually BBC Radio 1 DJs Dave Lee Travis and Paul Burnett. The song was released in early 1976, and reportedly reached number 4 on the British pop chart.

U.S. Friend here. That was awesome. I grew up with C.W. McCall's "Convoy", so this was definitely something different. (Afraid I don't know much about the trucking industry in the UK, however.) Good Job!

In the interest of people curious about the story behind this: "In 1976, a parody (of the US song Convoy) by Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks entitled Convoy GB made #4 on the UK singles chart. The name "Laurie Lingo" is a pun; in the UK, a large truck is known as "lorry", and thus "lorry lingo" would be "truck slang". The act actually consisted of BBC Radio 1 DJs Dave Lee Travis and Paul Burnett with "The Dipsticks" being the Top of the Pops vocalists The Ladybirds. The parody used the same tune, but altered the song's lyrics to take place in the UK, with dialogue featuring Travis and Burnett as truckers "Superscouse" and "Plastic Chicken"." --- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convoy_(song)#Remakes_and_covers
