Comment:

Country music was in transition during the immediately pre-[i]Urban Cowboy[/i] era. Angry white-guy anthems, such as Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It" and Merle Haggard's "The Fightin' Side of Me," sat cheek by jowl with more mellow love songs, like Sammi Smith's "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and Crystal Gayle's "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." And somewhere in that blend was the occasional nutty novelty tune, such as C.W. McCall's "Convoy."
