Song 65 ( Jerry Reed - East Bound and Down )



This is the theme song from the movie Smokey and the Bandit; I watched it a lot growing up and I almost wore the videodisc of it out. For those unfamiliar with the medium, a videodisc is an obsolete movie medium that is vinyl and plays like a record; after countless times of play it usually began to skip pretty bad.
The best actor in the movie, in my opinion, was Jackie Gleason; his one-liners and foul language really was the hook of the movie; Jerry Reed played the role of Cletus or "Snow Man" in the movie as well. The song itself is a fairly fast toe-tapper; Jerry Reed's vocals and guitar work are excellent in this song.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is an amazing live performance on YouTube.
