This was probably the best Speed Trap Celebrity they had on this show. I love the fact that he's singing a very blatant "Fuck you" to Boss Hogg and the entire Hazzard County Sheriff's Department. Even funnier is seeing Rosco taking notes.
And best of all is the title of the song: Speed Trap.
This was a real song that came out in 1972 ironically, before Dukes. I always thought it was written specifically for this TV appearance, but it's not.
The fact that Hoyt would do this makes me love him any more.
I can see there faces they actually are really enjoying it lol
One of the aspects of the Dukes of Hazzard I really liked was the "celebrity speed trap". The show had several country music singers on the show. Loretta Lynn, Oak Ridge Boys (twice), Roy Orbison, etc. The show was so unique in so many ways. Hard to believe this episode aired 37 years ago today.
Yes sir, well said... just got done watching this episode today (Good neighbors Duke)..I grew up watching the show n loving it, had a Dukes of Hazzard lunch box as a kid...Own the Box set of the DVDS, before they kicked them off of eBay. Love this performance by Roy...Cant forget Tammy Wynette n Rocky Top Tennessee, loved that one
YEEEE HAAW!
var·let
a dishonest or unprincipled man. (Boss Hogg)
Love the song! Thx for posting.
@J L 3 That's what Sheriff Rosco called Boss Hogg when taking his photo. A varmit. 😂
Whats this song name
Greatest songwriter to ever come outta Okieland
"SECRET BUTTON!"
Boss's funny little face!
I watched this show back in the day. I like the theme song by Mr. Waylon Jennings.
I wonder if he tried to sell Boss a smokeless ashtray?
The celebrity speed trap
During the show's second season, the show's writers began flirting with the idea of incorporating a "celebrity speed trap" into some of the episodes, as a means to feature top country stars of the day performing their hits. On its first couple of instances, the "Speed Trap" was featured early in the story, but for most of the cases, it was featured in the last few minutes of an episode, often used when the main story was running too short to fill episode time.
The "celebrity speed trap" feature was essentially similar: Aware that a big-name country star was passing through the area, Boss Hogg would order Rosco to lower the speed limit on a particular road to an unreasonable level (using a reversible sign, with one speed limit on one side and another, far lower, on the back), so that the targeted singer would be in violation of the posted limit. The singer would be required to give a free performance at the Boar's Nest in exchange for having their citations forgiven; the performer would then perform one of their best-known hits or other popular country music standard, while the Dukes, Boss, Rosco, Enos, Cletus, Cooter, and other patrons whooped and hollered in enjoyment of the performance. More often than not, the performer would give a sarcastic parting shot to Boss and Rosco.
Singers who were featured in the "speed trap" segments were:
Hoyt Axton
Donna Fargo
Freddy Fender
Doug Kershaw (on the original soundtrack)
The Oak Ridge Boys (twice)
Roy Orbison
Buck Owens
Johnny Paycheck (lip-syncing an original recording)
Mel Tillis
Dottie West
Tammy Wynette
Waylon Jennings (the show's narrator)
Honorable Mentions: Mickey Gilley, Loretta Lynn!!!!!
Roy orbison was clearly lip synching as well. They didn't even use a live recording of Pretty Woman, but rather the nornal studio version.
Too good
Thanks for sharing. Awesome
I see a few folks complaining about something thst has nothing to do with this video of a program from the 80's. Unreal.
It's hard to believe that this guy wrote Steppenwolf's "The Pusher."
Hoyt was a musical genius. He wrote a lot of song for a lot of people.
and snow blind friend---
He also wrote "Joy To The World" and "Never Been To Spain" for Three Dog Night.
Country folks can have issues with other substances other than jar liquor, DDT was in our pond till I was ten,no time to spell it out, city slicker??
Dont you mean Nina Simone's "The Pusher" ? the definitive version.
While this was a joke to many, a lot were actually sentenced to local jails where they were enchained & beaten. Jerry Reed & Mel tillis actually sued Hazzard County & The Grand Ole Opry & won because of this.
A Varlet; that’d be my old man
