If X refers to the X axis, then on a graph it would refer to the columns? The 22nd letter of the alphabet is "V", which is 5 in Roman Numerals.
"Fifth Column"?

Man, I played the shit out of my cassette recording of that tune as a kid. I had no idea that that was a Sam Peckinpah movie. Thanks for the time travel.
you're welcome/used to listen to it a lot too, had a little orange record player:) this is same singer https://youtu.be/F9OCgem4a_k is cheesy but fun memories & was originally filmed around our area/missouri river. amazed the weather semis go through to get food to the stores.
I wish I'd had the foresight to keep all my old cassettes. Although, most of them would be a source of embarrassment to me today.
Interesting back story to C.W. McCall:
"This television commercial for Old Home Bread is narrated by singer C. W. McCall (the nom de chanteur for Bill Fries). While working as a creative director for the advertising agency Bozell & Jacobs, Fries created this advertising campaign for Metz Baking Company’s Old Home Bread in 1973. Bert Rodriguez’s company Visual Presentations, based in Dallas, produced the series, with Rodriguez himself acting as director. The campaign features a truck driver named C. W. McCall, played by Dallas actor Jim Finlayson, and a waitress named Mavis Davis, played by Dallas actress Jean McBride Capps. Several of the commercials from the series won Clio Awards, the advertising industry’s equivalent of an Emmy or Academy Award. This particular advertisement promotes Old Home Stone-Ground Whole Wheat."
