"Up, Up, and Away" - Diana Ross and the Supremes
Great song written by Jimmy Webb but The Fifth Dimension made it a hit. Trans-Australia Airlines (TAA) made it their theme song for many years and no doubt other airlines did too.
From:
VH-JET#1 & Her Sisters - History of the 707
Whereas the Connie had inspired graphic artists, the 707 inspired a generation of song-writers.
Out on runway number nine, big seven oh seven set to roll. ("Early Morning Rain" written by Gordon Lightfoot and recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary)
But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven. ("Jet Airliner" written by Paul Pena and recorded by The Steve Miller Band)
It's the only way to fly, Boeing Boeing seven oh seven ("Boeing Boeing 707" written and recorded by Roger Miller)
Seven oh seven mockingbirds they flying in the sky ("People Call Me Country" written and recorded by Digby Richards)
In the absence of any songs about the DC-8, the Comet, the Tu-104 or the Caravelle, it must be concluded that the 707 was indeed something special!
Were there any other 707 songs?
