Rate Your Music score: 3.33 out of 5!
This Cincinnati trio gave us this lost hit, and hearing it again brings back memories of sitting on the floor in the den listening to the boom box.
After the song fell off the chart, I hardly ever heard it again. But it did resurface once in 2022.
That was when I took a Greyhound bus to and from an event in Chicago. Greyhound is not the most efficient outfit around, but I didn't have a choice. For some reason, the route home from Chicago to Cincinnati took us through Louisville. And every Greyhound route leaving the Louisville terminal that morning was hours late. It was so bad that Greyhound had to call an Uber for folks going to Lexington.
The men's restroom at the Louisville bus station had pee-soaked toilet paper all over the floor. I also heard a squeak of flatulence while I was waiting for the bus.
I overheard a man saying that another man was picking paper off the floor in the bus terminal and eating it. Later on, the first man started singing. Guess what song? "Caravan Of Love"!
Greyhound isn't a caravan of love. I've heard horror stories about Greyhound that are even worse than anything I've been forced to put up with from them. It's a shame they're a monopoly. If any song title describes Greyhound, it's Supertramp's "Take The Long Way Home."
The "Caravan Of Love" video represents its era well. But why are people watching TV in their car? I think having a TV in your car is illegal, because it distracts the driver. I've heard of people installing TV sets in their car, but I'm pretty sure it's against the law.
