"Only" 24 hours from Tulsa.

well hes going to have to stop and take a break somewhere surely?

Good song but.

Only 24 hours from Tulsa is as bad saying, 'This is just a thousand miles short of a coast to coast New York to LA drive.

See, Yanks discarded most useful units of measurement and replaced them with stooopid ones, e.g. they have no unit of mass / weight bigger than a pound; they buy spuds in bushels; drinks in fluid ounces and gehhhss in their c0ck3d up gallon, ffs. They have also b@ll$ed up time and distance so, when you ask your average Yank how far someplace is from here, they use TIME units rather than distance. "How long is your driveway"? 'Bout twenny seconds". Therefore, Mr. Pitney could have met the new wan anywhere from Alpha Centauri to Owasso, and his mode of transportation remains critically important but unknown.

It's a good choon but open to some mockery because of the "doo doo....doo doo....doo doo...." intro and outro!

I guess what he means is "Just one more day" as in he hasnt seen his girl in ages, but this time tomorrow they'll be together.

OP he was driving the delorean. So he got there in 24 hours yesterday

Oh, I've experienced their reactions to metric and the rush to either medication or bibles whenever mentioned!
I was actually referrring to their (inherited) adoption and subsequent unilateral altering of British / Imperial measures, e.g. the US gallon and the boycotting of any unit of weight / mass greater than a pound.

Anyway, this won't be of any consolation to the wan in Tulsa who, after all these years, still doesn't know how close Gene Pitney was except that some unknown form of transport would have got him to Tulsa in 24 hours! Since he knew the time required to get there, he must have known the distance and speed required. So, Gene, ffs, in units of length, how close were you?
