Facts:

It was supposed to have sirens, but all I could manage was background harmonies. (BidoLitos)

Inspired by the untimely death of my friend Steve Schnathorst, August 3, 1971. (BidoLitos)

It played just once on Dr. Demento -- Doc had me sign a release -- then it was never heard from again! (BidoLitos)

I got the idea for the descending piano figure from a Duke Ellington tune (BidoLitos)

Song Lyrics:

You're ridin' with your woman out on Highway 9 You got a lotta love -- you had a little wine Then just when everything is goin' just fine You'll have a traffic accident. Happens on highways, byways, lanes, County roads, and the big freeway. Almost anyplace you go, almost any time of day They're havin' traffic accidents. And the ambulance comes And they take you away You get your name in the papers The next day With a quote from the doctor And the doctor say: "He had a traffic accident yesterday." Billy and Willie, they drove cross-town Lookin' for Johnny -- but Johnny ain't around. They asked Johnny's brother, and he said with a frown: "He had a traffic accident." Fat ol' Bob, he had nothin' to fear A "389," and too much beer. Must not of seen that stop sign too clear! There was a traffic accident. And the ambulance came And they took 'im away He got his name in the papers The next day With a quote from the doctor And the doctor say: "He had a traffic accident yesterday." Everybody likes drivin', 'cause drivin's nice, So I'm tellin' ya once, I'm tellin' ya twice Keep your hands on the wheel -- take my advice: Don't have a traffic accident. (BidoLitos)
