GUEST,Seaking Lyr Req/Add: 42 Barrels of Oil a Day (23) RE: Lyr Req/Add: 42 Barrels of Oil a Day 07 May 16

I worked in the oil and gas industry for 30 years and wondered about the significance of the 42 barrels - it doesn't convert to any other significant unit of volume, e.g. Cubic metres etc.
Oddly though the conversion factor from oil barrels to US gallons is 42 - so did the writer of the song confuse his units or is this just coincidence ?
