Wiki says......"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 Paul 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 (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 had 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]

"Oh really 6-7 you`re putting me in a bad position....this is too bad....too bad"That`s a snappy line, I`m gonna use that in real life.

[vicsmith]

Why is the controller wearing a Driver 67 hat?! This is barmy!

Bizarrely, I remember this.Not sure why, since the date on the TOTP2 clip is Feb '79 which is three months before I was born!

According to some of the people in the comments the driver and controller are both Paul Phillips.
