And it's sung by Jerry Reed (Cledus Snow). Playing this while on a road trip somewhere in the U.S. can quite literally make driving through any stretch of otherwise desolate, barren countryside into an enjoyable experience due to just how goddamn ''infectious'' the song is.

** Most present-day viewers would be baffled as to why Coors, a completely unremarkable beer brand that you could find in just about any supermarket, would be so prized by a wealthy businessman that he'd shell out thousands of dollars for it, nor why he'd need it delivered in such a short time frame, why he'd need it transported across state lines, or why that would be illegal. Back in the film's era of the 1970s, Coors was only sold in 11 American states, all in the western half of the country, and since A) transporting beer across state lines was illegal without a tax and B) the beer had no preservatives at the time and would quickly spoil if not kept cold, the brand was nearly impossible to find in the eastern half of the country, and thus had a rampant cult following there (see [[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=MEdNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=8voDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5443%2C3066611 this 1975 newspaper article]]). A '70s audience would immediately recognize it as a desirable prize.
** The rampant CB radio usage was a fad of the 1970s, at least for 'civilians'. (CB radios are of course still used by truck drivers).
** Carrie asks for 10 cents to use the bathroom at a truck stop, and Bandit tells her to "just duck under." Pay toilets were later outlawed in the United States.
