He passed this morning. Rubber Duck is on the Highway to Heaven.

“Frank grabbed my leg and I beat him off with a crowbar” makes me cry laughing everytime

I have been listening to this record for over 40 years and that line "dog's name is Frank" still cracks me up.

You know, I first heard this song decades ago in the 70s. I used to cover this as a musician in the late 2000s, and this is the first video I’ve seen that attempts to capture the insanity of the song. Well done, sir.

Shit didn't even know this dude had cancer. I've been a fan my whole life. To hear he passed away was saddening. The OG rapper

C.W. was great. A very fast singer of funny tunes. I started listening to him 40 years ago.

dogs name was frank.

I's thumbin' through the want ads in the Shelby County Tribune when this classified advertisement caught my eye. It said, "Take imme-di-ate delivery on this '57 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks. Call One-four-oh, ring two, and ask for Bob." Well, I called Bob up on the telephone, he says, "Hello, this is Bob speakin'." I says "This here the Bob got the pickup truck for sale?" He says, "Yeah." I says, "Where are ya?" He says, "Fourteen east on County 12, turn right on the one-lane gravel road, you can park in the yard, beware of the dog, wipe your feet off, knock three times, and bring your billfold." Well, I tooled on east on County 12, turned right on the one-lane gravel road, and I parked in the yard and a German shepherd come out and grabbed onto my leg. Then I knocked three times and wiped my feet, the dog let go and the screen door opened and Bob come out and says "Whaddya want?" I says, "Come to see your truck." He says, "Follow me. Come on, Frank." (Dog's name is Frank.) Well, we all went past the chicken house, through the hog pen, down to the tractor shed, and then wound up in back of the barn in a field of cowpies. And settin' right there in a pool of grease was a half-ton Chevy pickup truck with a 1960 license plate, a bumper sticker says "Vote for Dick" and Brillo box full of rusty parts, and Bob says "Whaddya think?" Well, I kicked the tires and I got in the seat and set on a petrified apple core and found a bunch of field mice livin' in the glove compartment. He says, "Her shaft is bent and her rear end leaks, you can fix her quick with an oily rag. Use a nail as a starter; I lost the key. Don't pay no mind to that whirrin' sound. She use a little oil, but outside a' that, she's cherry." I says, "What'll take?" He says, "What've you got?" I says, "Twenty-eight dollars and fifteen cents." He says, "You got a deal. Sign here, I'll go get the title and a can full of gas." I put the nail in the slot and fired 'er up; she coughed and belched up a bunch a' smoke and I backed her right through the hog pen into the yard Well, Frank jumped in and bit my leg and I beat him off with a crowbar. He jumped on out and the door fell off and the left front tire went flat. I jacked it up and patched the tube and Frank tore a piece of my shirt off. Then Bob come out and called him off and says "You better'd get on out of here." I went left on the one-lane gravel road, went fourteen west on County 12. Took two full quarts of forty-weight oil just to get her to the Conoco station. And I pulled up to the Regular pump and then Harold Sykes and his kid come out. He says, "I've seen better stuff at junkyards and where'd you ever get that truck?" I says, "That's a long story, Harold. I's thumbin' through the want ads in the Shelby County Tribune when this classified advertisement caught my eye. It said, "Take imme-di-ate delivery on this '57 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks..."

The last song I ever listened to with my Grandpa, May he rest in peace

This was the first song I ever knew all the lyrics to. 6 year old me was proud. I more or less sang it a capella at a talent show in 1st grade. Never lived it down. Didn't care, I liked the song. It tells a good story. 21st century music could learn a thing or two from old 70's songs.

Sounds like the adventure I went through when I bought my first truck when I was 16, a '71 Dodge truck. Good times!

RIP Mr Mccall your a legend.

What an absolutely fun song anyone else agree 👍.

Started listening to C.W. in high school. We are now 63. There was no better story teller than he. Me and a friend would dig around for road maps to see where he was singing about. The best memories.

This video is a crack up... love it! When the album came out I was making runs across Nevada on a regular basis.. so I decided to memorize this piece and get it right, like, perfect. No easy task, but I had it mastered in a couple of days and it kept me awake on the road. To this day I still break into it off-the-cuff when drinking with buddies I think may get a kick out of it, and I'll be damned if I can' t still hit it about 95% right.

this song needs the 12 hour video loop treatment

My brother and I loved this song all our lives, I'm 61 now. It's not possible for me to see a German Shepherd and not wonder whether it's name is Frank....

I'm happy you enjoyed the video. It is a great song! Bill (aka CW) has a great way of telling a story that we all can relate to. Thanks for the comments.

I loved this song as a kid . wore out the 8 track playing it so much.

This is every car my friend and I have bought on Craigslist

I MISS THESE ARTIST- SPEAK TALK- TELL A STORY- I MISS ALL THESE BLESSED "ARTIST" COUNTRY BOY- BRING IT BACK- these country stars in 2022 just don't HAVE IT..

I always loved C.W. McCall. Great stories & some a good chuckle. Thanks for posting.

Come on Frank. Dog's name is frank. LOL

Loved this song since I was a kid and my grandpa (a trucker; gee imagine that) first played it for me. Note for programmers - to the best of my limited knowledge, this is the worlds first recursive song. It never ends. :)

C.W. MCcall, Red Sovine and Red Simpson...true American songwriting hero's.

I can't think of a funnier song anytime I'm in a bad mood this cheers me right up.

I remember as a kid , going to relatives houses and listening to everyone play their banjo's, guitars and fiddles and piano, juice harp, and harmonica, in upper state New York, and the stories of the old days, long drives down into a valley where the old homestead was, so far down you could feel a change in the temperature. Now I'm making memeories for my boy's as we chase down vintage cars and trucks, and the elusive parts to restore them. I make my own stories of my youth to my boys, what fun.

I love this song. I'm sure this type of transaction occurs in rural areas all over this country every year. I know my Uncles and Cousins in Upper Michigan have picked up several vehicles this way.

this is hilarious. I grew up on this. And recently started listening again. gotta love it.

One great story teller ❤ R.I.P. CW

A classic, in every sense of the word!

Unexpected smiles and laughter to my day. Thanks😊

Always loved this one. Great Conoco image, too.

This is very funny! Both the song and matching video, thanks for posting :) Love the way the song fades out at the end... C.W. McCall was/is a wonderful story teller.

when it comes to music as well as many other things..try not to forget about the flip side of the album...he had so many heart felt songs to go along with the fun...rocky Mountain September...he moved to the mountains on my mind...wish I coulda. Thanx Bill...

I grew up with this music, my grampa used to play it all the time down on the farm before he died. I think I was about 7 when I started listening I'm now almost 24 and still love this music!

This is great talking, singing that I love. CW was great. Love it. How he could say all that so fast? Good song.

Just wanted to put it out into the world that I named my dog Frank because of this song.

My ex wife said the transmission in her Honda Pilot was making a sound, I’m like: is it a “whirling sound”? Then I remembered most of the lines to this song, to my daughter’s amazement lol.

Best song and best video I have ever seen. You have made my day. Thank you.

This song is hilarious and the video is hilarious too. Thanks for posting this video.

C dub the first rapper

Always loved this song. I just found out he died April 1st. RIP C.W. MCcall

It's true theater of the mind, I can imagine everything he says. Thanks for watching!

My dad's friend has a German shepherd named frank

I almost bought a truck through a classified ad. I thought of this song and changed my mind.

That was great. Thanks for the tedious work to do that. Brings back alot of memories.

Nowadays $28.15 is a good deal for the can of gas.

When I saw the '54 Chevy truck instead of a '57 I got a little concerned but at "She uses a little oil" I about died of laughter then continued to laugh the whole rest of the video :)

Love the good old classic.

A storyteller to give Tom T. Hall a run for his money!

thanks for posting..a friend and i went to hector ak.to get a 1940 studbaker from mendota ill. i thought of this song as we got to the guys house to get it..great man and his wife and a great car.

love the old story songs, to get to my house, get off the highway take a left , go to the country store just past the tractor store, turn left, take another left at the church across from the log cabin, when you get to the big black mailbox with the broken post, turn left into my driveway. I f the goose chases you, stay in the car and honk the horn ,you make any right turns, you went the wrong way !

Exactly! Great stuff, these guys could spin a yarn!

I like how there is a steady drumbeat through out the song until the end when starts going crazy.

Love it. Wish a 57 could be bought for 28 bucks now

Man that is awesome, I've known that song all my life and just now thought of it and found that video, when Harold Sikes and his kid came out is my favorite part lol

Anybody here in 2021, Every young man needs a truck like this at least once. I've had my share. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

How many times did you listen to this before you realized he was talking to Harold the whole time? Me? OK maybe a couple of times. Still a classic after 40 plus yrs. Have it on 45.

RIP Mr. McCall

Ok Mr.A to Z???? That was phucking GREAT job on video!!! Mass props to you...definitely a 5 star in my option.

Grandfather's play list, was one of his favourites.

This is where rapping began....this guy is kin to emenim

I listened to this on the radio when I was a kid

As much CW McCall as I listen to, how have I never heard this song before? This may be the funniest song I've ever heard!

“Bob” makes ma laugh every time! Cheers!

Nicely done. I enjoyed watching it.

What happened to the field mice living in the glove box? Good excuse for a sequel...Disney could make millions. Lol

This is a great fun song to listen to,and remember the dogs name is Frank

Takes me back to central pa driving dirt roads till I got lost!

This song would make a great short film. And at the end of the short in response to where did you ever get that truck, it goes into this song to tell the story

2021 Rules forever I'm c.w. McCall the king of country and all the country singer s they play on Bob f.m. forever promise to god. Steve fike s Steve Perry of journey and all the rock n roll singer s they play on Kool 108 forever promise to god. Happy birthday 🎂 late you re 92 my grandma s 94 almost 95 still going strong thought rock on c.w.👍.

Yes I love the video. I grew up on CW. MC CALL.

Girl, you never cease to amaze me.

LMFAO @ "Bob" 🤣 (Also "Harold Sykes" and "Kid.")

This song makes me laugh every time.

The Storeyteller! Tom T. Hall, great stuff! Hope you enjoyed this vid, thanks for watching!

This so great . WELL DONE YOU ALL

Bob sure did accept that offer quickly. He coulda offered less

The fun part was thumbin' through the want ads of every country paper lookin' for similar ads. People today don't know what it was like thumbin' through the want ads. City papers would have a dozen pages of classified advertisements. Out in the country, we'd get the weekly 'Shopper' papers with a couple dozen pages of ads.

RIP CW!

I love this song

GREAT pictures but BETTER song!

I can remember listing to cw mcall on my eight track my step father could not take it. He shot the eight track. true story.

Classic 👍

CW is awesome!

No worries, it was fun to make. Thanks for watching!

Frank is just full of win!

Rest in peace Mr. Fries.

VERY well done THANK YOU!

Now That's A STORY That NEEDS NO APOLOGIES........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat on a petrified apple core

I always wondered who drove his other vehicle home for him. Great song.

great job on this cool old song

I bet many can relate that's whats so funny about it!

so he just left his other truck at the guys house?

RIP C W McCall (Bill Fries) 93yrs old 4/1/22 not a April fool's prank

I’m 12 and I love cw mcall

What I don't get is what happened to the truck/car he drove there?

I have a feeling that I'm one of the only 14 year olds listening to CW McCall songs😂
