>8-D

MONDAY


Headin' high above Chicago

Just a-reachin' for the skies,

She found herself with teardrops in her eyes.

And a little boy beside her asked her,

"Mama? Where's Pop?"

And she just broke down a-cryin'

'Cause she knew she couldn't STOP


Western Union Wire - Kinky Friedman


Clever lyrics, if you're old enough to remember telegrams...

And out of that long list...more repeats! Sigh!

Boeing 737 - The Low Anthem

747 (Strangers in the Night) - Saxon


Other airplanes are available but these two have to be shoo-ins.

What was that song they used for the Milanda advert? Or was it Slimcea? Back in the day.
The one with the blonde in the hot air balloon.

I Can't Let Maggie Go - The Herd?

'I Can't Let Maggie Go' - Honeybus...Nimble

Was that no the Flake advert?

#3

I'll leave this

It's probably the only chance y'all'll have to hear it...


Keep it Country!

#9

that was a cracker of a show the nicht.
cass elliot and aretha franklin.
sorted.

cheers frae the dale

Skyhigh / Jigsaw
Highfly / John Miles


But my no.1 choice would be
Aeroplane / Tal Bachman

It's a great wee tune from a much underrated songwriter. Tal is the wean of Old Randy from Bachman Turner Overdrive.

previously on the blog.......no Mac, only knew about it from your post.........i'm a lazy old git now anyway

Ìý
BRING ME THE BULKHEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

beat me to it, Adam. Boeing 737, I'll second that!

Airborne Toxic Event - Welcome to Your Wedding Day

Breakaway - Gallagher and Lyle }
Las Vegas turnaround - Hall and Oates }although two show in a row is unlikely
This flight tonight - Nazareth
Airport shutdown - Cado Belle
The flyer - Nanci Griffith
Boulder to Birmingham - Emmylou Harris

More to follow

Joe
Linlithgow

#1 fly?

No, but ah can walk on water.................








At least one step

I suppose the obvious shout is Jet by Paul McCartney & Wings, (which I like) but it's been done to death on GIO - can I once more recommend the fabulous Medicine Jar Jimmy McCullogh's passing away has never been acknowledged on GIO.

Others that are more than worthy are:

Flying Sorcery - Al Stewart a song about Amy Johnston!!! Bryan - it's really good!!!

Love's Enormous Wings - The Leisure Society of course, this won't be availbale, willing to deliver.

One Wing - Wilco

Scarlett O'Hara - Jet Harris &Tony Meechan

that'll do for starters..

regardez youse

henri

Not giving up with ...

'Sometime Around Midnight' ~~ Airborne Toxic Event (or seconds with Gaie)

or even ...

'Empty Space' ~~ Air Traffic
'Bermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45) ~~ Blondie
'Human Rocket' ~~ Devo
'Too Many Dicks (on the Dancefloor)' ~~ Flight of the Conchords
'Stairway to Heaven' ~~ Led Zep
'Enola Gay' ~~ OMD
'Such Great Heights' ~~ The Postal Service
'Big Jet Plane' ~~ Primal Scream

Learning to fly - Pink Floyd

A graaayyyytttt way tae start the show, and a song that our hero would doubtless appreciate if he gied it half a chance

top this

'high in the sky'...................amen corner

cheers frae the dale

gaie, thought you'd be up for the same song by Mr Petty?

Aeroplane – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Enola Gay - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Aeroplane Flies High - Smashing Pumpkins
Sky Pilot - The Animals
Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly (has an amazingly funny video for it)
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins

Just a few that could be used :).

Iain in Inverness

#7-8

Is this what you ?

#23 that could end the show



but maybe we've been too obvious........?

Just

Just remembered: I'm Mandy, fly me - 10cc

Joe
Linlithgow

and also: Magic - Pilot

J
L

My good pal Captain Tobias Wilcox wants a menshie on the show on monday

My good lady wants Volare by the Gypsy Kings

and as sampled (or ripped off, who can tell) by J-Lo recently

El Bimbo / Bimbo Jet

#23 it's a great song, Henri, but I listen to Mr P loads anyway and it'll surely be suggested by others. I'd much rather keep bashing my head on the wall with the lure of occasional breakthroughs like Woodenbox. Surely this time we'll get Airborne Toxic Event - I'm not bothered whether it's my shout or Kene's, it's the principal of chipping away to get new bands on.

#30

and his daughter, Toyah.They need some help to tidy the island up after the storm.

#31 - Volare= 3:31 - egg timer still on the blink?

I've always wondered what area David Byrne is describing as he looks out of the airplane window in this song. A Shoreline, Baseball pitches, Snow capped mountains.......I imagine he's returning home from a gig in Vancouver!

Wherever it is,he's not overly impressed by it.......

Big Country - Talking Heads


Paul from Ayr

Interesting wee diversion: heard the on radio this morning - 'she's asked us to play 3 songs never played on the radio before and we thought this was a great idea - here they are'

followed some time later with no need for irony, by a song called 'You'll Never Know What You're Missing Till You Try'

MONDAY


I'd like to propose a wee segue. (Not original. The band had a brief excerpt on the album).


Clockwork Creep - 10cc

immediately followed by

I'm Mandy, Fly Me - 10cc ~ supporting joe-k-brown (see #28)


Both songs match the theme. I commend the idea to the House!


:o)

another couple:

Fly Me Away - Goldfrapp

Flying High - Jem

Why Walk When You Can Fly - Mary-Chapin Carpenter

Arghhh...Clockwork Creep is the only 10CC track I really dislike... could we not segue into 'Flying Junk' which is on the same pace as Mandy...matter of fact, these are fundamentally the same tune, or is it my imagination?:-))

regardez youse

henri

'A Heart In New York' - Art Garfunkel. ("New York, To your tall skyline I come, Flying in from London to your door)

Gunga Din - The Byrds

# various and previously on the blog @ ya paolo......

does it take longer to boil an egg up in a plane? ( its a technical thing about air presure so i'm telt).

i don't know about bilin' eggs but i bet ye can whistle tae this at any altitude

'8 miles high'..................byrds (the band no, they feathery things)

cheers frae the dale

Roxy Music - Virginia Plane

MCC - Haley Came To Jackson (comet!)

Spizzenergi's cover of Virginia Plane! (Janice has played it)

#38

Arghhh...Flying Junk is the only 10cc track I really dislike...

Think of it as payback;

If I Had a Boat is the only Lyle Lovett track I really dislike...






































gits & elephants never forget

Most complete track for this theme idea...

International Jet Set ~ T. Specials, it's got it all!

BTW Where's Fish-Thing gone? Hope they aren't another to give up on the blog.

Julie,

How could you have forgotten

With Siobhan Redmond...(be still, my foolish heart...)

#13

Big seconds for Jigsaw and John Miles, PP!

#30

Typical

Willie Nelson - Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground

simply magnificent

Rockets, satelites etc all have to travel through the air before reaching space you know.

Seconds for Nanci and The Flyer

also

Nanci - Griffith - OUtbound Plane - Or co writer Tom Russell version which is excellent

#50 oh aye good point:

David Bowie - Love Missile F1-11

Ìý
BRING ME THE WARHEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

Q. Why was the Air Commodore deaf?

A. He had no Buccaneers!

#30 wis it no' 'Tobias C Wilcox'?

Ìý#30, #55

Tobias Wilcock. (There can be only one).

Perra coconuts.......

DC, Reckon you'd be interested in the October edition of MOJO magazine.

Back In The USA - Chuck Berry - "Jet propelled from overseas...."
Jungle Work - Warren Zevon - "Lear jet S.W.A.T. team on a midnight run...."
Amelia Earhart's Last Flight - Kinky Friedman - "In shark-infested waters her plane went down that night..." - aviation is not a risk-free business

Why has no one suggested Roland The Headless Gunner?/

THEME SUGGESTION!

Comebacks.

Elvis 68. Take That, Tom Jones and etcetera

#58

#59

Is this a trick question?

#59

Because it's got as much to do with aviation as flying in the air

#60

"and etcetera" is tautological and also suggests that even you can't think of a third.

#63 that will be that then.

Are there twenty?

#57

?

Confusion is one of the most distressing aspects of ageing.

Howzaboot Airport ~ T. Motors Kene? C.U. blagged one of this weeks unsuccessful Scary Movie shouts ;-)

#65
Good point Glen Eric.
I got stuck on five for his White Goods suggestion and for that I had two Rage against the Machine songs and You Spin Me Right Round.

You really must give more thought to your theme ideas Norman.

Paulo,

Can you name the film that Jigsaw song was used in?

#60, 63, 69

Stop ganging up on Norrie it's not nice!

Norrie, it was back in '81 Slade were at the Apollo on a comeback tour "We'll bring the house down" Holder introduced this song as being true whilst on an North American trip back in their heyday...

Wheels Ain't Coming Down ~ Slade

#46 Scotch I must concur with that after seeing her lookalikey on the way home from the GIO nite out :-)

#71

Norrie, hand over your dinner money.

#57 all is clear now, just seen the content. Cheers

It's worrying to see a commercial airliner with bombs on the undercarriage.

i wonder where it's going.

#73 Beat it you! Norrie I've got some bigger pals than Eric, you'll be okay with us!

Bomber ~ Motörhead
There's a Moon in the sky (called the Moon) ~ the B52's

Eric has Glen Miller, Cynthiaplastercaster, Greggarypeckarry and Thing-Fish in his gang.

I'll hud the jaikets

#76

Your Maw takes in washing, Mad Mac.

this band definitely fall into the category....'whateva happened to'.......which is a shame.one of the unpleasant by-products of shows like 'val doonican' , 'morecombe and wise' and 'mike yarwood' being elbowed out by "reality" shows. i blame maggie thatcher for that as well.
one more time then for.......
a band on form
a band on song
a band on theme

'charmaine'......................bachelors

the question is bloggers...................why is this song appropriate?

answers on the blog and if ye dinnae ken yer a right daftie

cheers frae the dale

#79

dale_kelvin,

The tune was used in a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch.

A somewhat tenuous link, methinks...

#83 @ ya SG.

when setting a cryptic puzzle like that one i always try and be universally inclusive.
by that i mean that i am conscious of bloggers from around the world using this page so i want them not to feel left out....so the puzzle is fully participatory.
don't get me wrong, your answer is a decent stab in the dark but too vague and narrow for our worldwide friends and bloggers.
what i'm trying to get across here is that MPFC isnae the right answer.

cheers frae the dale

#79

Air Machine

#84

dale_kelvin,

When Charmaine charted, their career took off!

;o)

#85 @ ya AFR..........NO

#86 @ ya SG.....................clearly you are one of these flat earthers who still cling onto the theory that 'two wrongs make a right'

and btw i am of the opinion that their best is yet to come, i heard it on the grapevine. LOL

cheers frae the dale

#85

Adam,

#92 nice planes Mac......

....emdy remember the 70s fighter plane series

....only watched it cos of the theme tune but usually ended up sitting through the ludicrous plot to see the 10 second dog-fight sequence

Mac, I think the plane was a Dassault Mirage

#34 Henri. 3.31? The egg would be burnt. Do you never pay attention to anything delia tells ye?

#70 I could easily name that film Adam if I didnt have the memory of a goldfish sometimes cos I'm sure you've telt me before.

#95 Correct again Mr Handley.

RE Aeronauts, even as a kid watching Laverdure's comedy capers would upset me... you'd never get RAF acting like that!

Steven Lindsay - Kite
