This animated version of the successful prime-time series, The Dukes of Hazard, began on CBS-TV on February 5, 1983, as a mid-season replacement series. It tried to duplicate the daredevil driving and down-home country humor of the live-action show by utilizing the voices of the original stars. Sorrell Brooke as Boss Hogg, Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke, James Best as Sherrif Roscoe Coltrane, and Denver Pyle as Uncle Jesse recreated their night-time roles. The cartoon originally featured the voices of Christopher Mayer as Vance Duke and Byron Cherry as Coy Duke, the two actors who had replaced Tom Wopat (Luke Duke) and John Schneider (Bo Duke) for two seasons on the prime-time series. When Wopat and Schneider returned to the night-time series in September, 1983, they also began voicing their characters on the animated series. Unfortunatley it was too late for the cartoon, as it left the air on October 29, 1983, being replaced by reruns of Plastic Man.
Song Lyrics
Just A Couple Hard-Drivin' Rough Necks
Down Hazzard County Way
They Don't Want No Trouble
They Just Want To Play
(CHORUS)
Just Give Them A Race To Run
General Lee And Son-Of-A-Gun
Ooh-Ooh-Wee!
We're Goin To Have Some Fun!(Two Times)
(Spoken By Uncle Jesse)
Yes Sir, The Duke Boys and Daisy are racin' ol' Boss Hogg
clear around the world and they got to win the prize money
so ol' Boss can't forclose on the family farm. Naturally
greedy ol' Boss Hogg wants the farm and the money for himself
so he's been a-cheeting and a-scheming every step of the way.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Spoken By Boss Hogg)
OH THEM DUKES!!!
