Here's one of my favorites. "East Bound and Down" from "Smokey and the Bandit." Enjoy.

Rest in peace, partner, and thanks for the yucks.

He wasn't....71 isn't exactly old these days.

R.I.P. Snowman; I remember laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath when you ran over that line of motorcycles in Smokey & the Bandit.

WOW, thats a damn shame. 71 is just way too early.
SATB is one of my all time favorite movies.

Bruce that scene with the hogs is a classic.
East Bound and Down is a great tune, as is "When your hot, your hot". Thats just a plain old fashioned fun song.
