Car 67

"Car 67" is a pop song by "Driver 67" that appeared in the UK Singles Chart in December 1978. It was written by Paul Phillips and Pete Zorn and was sung by Phillips. The song is a ballad revolving around a cab driver who had split up with his girlfriend the previous day and how he is refusing to make a particular pick-up at 83 Royal Gardens (the passenger, unbeknownst to the controller, is the woman in question). The song is arranged as the taxi driver singing the lyrics, interspersed with the voice of the taxi controller. The taxi controller has a distinctive West Midlands accent.

It was in the UK Singles Chart for twelve weeks, reaching a high of Number 7 in February 1979.^[1]
