Theme Song
- Main article: "Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys)"
The theme song "The Good Ol' Boys" was written and performed by Waylon Jennings. He was also "The Balladeer" (as credited), and served as narrator of the show. However, the Jennings theme song that is currently available for purchase is not the same version that was used in the show's opening credits. The differences are that the show version featured a different verse, an enhanced bass line, a shorter length, and the famous "Yee-haw" yell at the end.
In 1980, the song reached #1 on the American Country chart and peaked at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
