On the party posse bus, a song from this movie was played. I never saw the movie.

I know that:

A: it is a remake by a Canadian band.

B: It has lyrics about "doing things they say couldn't be done", or something to that effect.

C: It was HIGHLY singable and enjoyable.
 
Is that East Bound and Down? In the movie it's performed by Jerry Reed, who also plays Snowman in the movie.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
we're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
we're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

Ol' Smokey's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail.
He aint gonna rest 'til you're in jail.
So you got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im,
you got to keep that diesel truckin'.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
we're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.
 
I love that song. Having seen the movie a million times, it's one of those songs that pops into my head almost weekly (usually when driving and in a rush of course).

Really Chuck? You've never seen Smokey and The Bandit? Well that's just plain un-american. lol.

You would be surprised at the movies I have never seen.
 
Got all 3 in a boxed set from Wal-Mart a few years back. I think it was $14.88 or so. After watching all 3, it;s easy to see how #2 kinda flopped, so they tried really hard in #3 to get back to the way #1 was.
 
You won't be disappointed with the Road Hammers disc Chuck the whole thing is good

I gave it a listen today. I give it a 7 out of 10. I know they are the Road Hammers, but do all the songs need to be about truck driving?
