[Miles Magister]

Not very politically correct but I like this one....


oh, I'm a co-pilot, I sit on the right
I'm quick & courageous, I'm wonderf'ly bright
my job is rememb'ring what the captain forgets
& I never talk back, so I have no regrets
I'm a lousy co-pilot & a long way from home

I make out the flight-plan & study the weather
pull up the gear, drop it & stand by to feather
I make out his mail-forms, I hire his whores
& I fly his old crate to the tune of his snores
I'm a lousy co-pilot & a long way from home

I make out the flight-plan according to Hoyle
I take all the readings, I check on the oil
I hustle him out for the midnight alarm
I fly through the fog while he sleeps on my arm
I'm a lousy co-pilot & a long way from home

I treat him to coffee I keep him in Cokes
I laugh at his corn & his horrible jokes
& once in a while when his landings are rusty
I come through with "yesiree Captain, it's gusty"
I'm a lousy co-pilot & a long way from home

all in all I'm commissioned a general stooge
I sit on the right of this high flying scrooge
someday I'll make Captain & then I'll be blessed
I'll give my poor tongue one long hell of a rest
I'm a lousy co-pilot & a long way from home

There is a Real Player audio of it here http://http://members.cox.net/55-i/13-poor-copilot.html (http://members.cox.net/55-i/13-poor-copilot.html)

[Cdn F/A]

Celine Dion..."You and I" Here's a sampling but it's worth the download- even if it is Air Canada's theme song...


High above the mountains
Far across the sea
I can hear your voice
Callin' out to me

Brighter than the sun
And darker than the night
I can see your love
Shinin' like a light

And on and on this earth spins like a carrousel
If i could travel across the world
The secrets i would tell

You and i were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
'cause you and i were meant to fly

[realtoptotty]

Mama Mia ......here i go again .... wuh oh :{ :{ :{

A song we use to luv playing on board or singing aloud after 24hr delays, was the usual was:

Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi

[seektofly]

Personally I prefer Bon Jovi's sister... Ann Jovi - she sings living on a pizza!!:}

[flyblue]

My vote is for "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz :)

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

Id fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Lets go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could just be ours

Lets fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I got to get away
Feel I got to get away
Oh oh oh yeah

Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away

I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah

[ezpz]

I really love "The World Is Mine" by Hooverphonic.

...Now it's time for me to get on top of the world

[flyca86]

My song is....COME FLY WITH ME -Micheal Buble.....:p :p
..lovely song..;)

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!

[Dolley]

How about MAGIC CARPET RIDE by STEPPENWOLF?!

Words and music by John Kay and Rushton Moreve:

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

[charlieQ]

During my early flying days on the 707 I remember the following song sung by crew members after a long sector and some generous servings of jungle juice. This covered all crew positions however I can only remember a few.

I wish I was the Captain of the flight
I wish I was the Captain of the flight
For if I was the Captain of the flight
I'd fly all day and **** all night
I wish I was the Captain of the flight

I wish I was the Flight Engineer
I wish I was the Flght Engineer
If I was the Flight Engineer
I'd empty all the tanks and fill 'em with beer
I wish I was the Flight Engineer

I wish I was the Steward with the bar
I wish I was the Steward with the bar
If I was the steward with the bar
I'd have a block of flats and a Rolls Royce car
I wish I was the Steward with the bar

I wish I was the flying Stewardess
I wish I was the flying Stewardess
If I was the Flying Stewardess
I'd tease all the boys and never say yes
I wish I was the flying Stewardsess

If anyone knows the F/O and Second Officer verses
and the rest of the cabin crew please let me know

Thanks, seeya

[6chimes]

The joker: Steve miller band.

"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and here I am stuck in the middle with you!"

Makes me howl everytime I'm doing a breakfast service on a looooong night flight.

[Jason King]

:ok: "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"

[AntNYC]

I simultaneously both hate and love this song, written by an obviously spurned man, who couldn't get a date with a "stew".:=

Waitress in the Sky.

She don't wear no pants and she don't wear no tie
Always on the ball, she's always on strike
Struttin' up the aisle, big deal, you get to fly
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

Paid my fare, don't wanna complain
You get to me, you're always outta champagne
Treat me like a bum, don't wear no tie
'cause you ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

And the sign says, "Thank you very much for not smoking"
My own sign says, "I'm sorry, I'm smokin'"
Don't treat me special, don't kiss my ass
Treat me like the way they treat 'em up in first class

Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer
Garbage man, a janitor and you my dear
A real union flight attendant, my oh my
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

[Flying_Sarah747]

Glamorous By Fergie

I love the chorus:

We're flying first class
Up in the sky
Poppin champagne
Livin my life in the fast lane
I won't change
The Glamorous, the glamorous glamorous

Heard it for the first time in my car when I was driving back in the morning after landing from Capetown and it reminded me so much of flying. :)

[richxby]

How about the song Cabaret from the musical, only for this line really...!


"What good is sitting all alone in your room..."

[ozziecrew]

i did Virgin Blue training school a few years ago and we were all singing foo fighters 'learn to fly' half the time! ahahah oh the good times! Group 81 Rocks!

[weeflygirl]

Amber - Above the clouds...

Scooch - Flying the flag

[qfdash8]

Lonely - by Shannon Nole...(WHO AGREES???)

Sittin in a hotel miles from nowhere
Thought that this would be my happiness
I look at the phone and pick it up
For the millionth time I put It down again

I know I let you go
And Ive got no right to know

Chorus
Do you ever get lonely, baby
Dont you ever get tired of living that way
Dont you ever wonder whether there a better
life out there
Do you ever think about what we had
And how you'd give anything to get it
back
Do you ever think you'll never love that
way again
Wondering if only
Do you ever get lonely

I look around the room and wonder
When it was and how my life has changed
Im surrounded by a million so - called friends
And I dont even know their names, oh no

When all of you love is gone
And you feel like you dont belong
Oh tell me

Chorus

I know that this world has changed us
Now were nothing more than strangers
But do you think about me ever
Do you think we belong together

Chorus
Do you ever get lonely, baby
Dont you ever get tired of living that way
Dont you ever wonder whether theres a better
life out there, yeah
Do you ever think about what we had
and how youd give everything to get it back
Do you ever think youll never love that way
again
Do you ever miss me
Wishing you could kiss me
If only you could hold me
Do you ever get lonely like me

[SkySista]

Some good ones have been posted so far... but when i heard this one I was still applying to airlines and a friend of mine just finished training with EK and i thought it was appropriate for her... =)
"No Sign Of It" by Natalie Grant...
----
It's a long wait at the gate
just to glimpse your fate
just to see whether it all works out
It's a long road, a heavy load
You gotta really want to go
and just let the others walk around
you now

up and down again
but this time it's different
it took some waiting to straighten
out the bend
In and out of luck
yeah at times it was difficult
I got a new life baby, It takes some getting used to but...

Chorus:
No sign of any rain
My skies are clear today
I keep bracing for that hit
But there's not sign of it.
No obstacles in sight
My skies are clear tonight (My skies are full of light)
I keep thinking I might see that cloud arrive
Oh but there's no sign of it
No sign of it

And as I look around, it's all new ground
the leaves on the trees touch down
But I'm above weightless as a dream
It's been a long road, a heavy load
I just simply had to go

Had to get here hard as it's been
In and out of luck
yeah at times it was difficult
I got a new life baby, it takes some getting
used to but...
Repeat Chorus

QF D8, I have to admit I've heard that one and thought the same thing sometimes :\

[kakaka]

Jason Wade's You Belong To Me

See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

[homesick rae]

"I'm Mandy Fly Me" - 10CC

[Lovebird 25]

Fergie - Glamorous

We flyin' first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I wont change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy....

[fireflybob]

How about "Endless Flight" by Leo Sayer?

Keep me steady
Dont rock me all around
Lord, I dont wanna fall down
Understand me
I wish this jet was off the ground

Look around you
And tell me what you see
Are you afraid or is it me?
I hope we make it
I hope we dont fall in the sea

And its gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes its gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyinbird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope Im right
An this will be the end of this endless flight

Make me happy
Just let me see the light
I hope the runway time is near
The look the captain gave
Wasnt comfort and saw fear
Oh, what a fear

And its gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes its gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin bird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope Im right
An this will be the end of this endless flight

And its gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes its gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin bird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope Im right
An this will be the end of this endless flight

And its gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes its gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin bird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope Im right
An this will be the end of this endless flight


Can't stop and think of anymore - am off to Karaoke!

[Jonboy86]

A couple of personal favourites are from flying on the A321 and sat at doors two with nervous passengers. We used to play these as boarding music

Ronan Keating- If tomorrow never comes (Classic)
Foreigner- Dying in your arms tonight (Nothing other than a brilliant move by BD)

[chu_hi]

Ronan Keating was on my flight once.. LHR-DXB, I believe.

I'm going to be completely alone on this one:

Lots of THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics rattle around my head when I'm in the cabin. Especially these repeating lines from "Fingertips":

I don't understand you (I don't understand you)
I just don't understand you (I don't understand you)
I don't understand the things you say
I can't understand a single word
(when somebody has a lot to say but no common language to say it in)

I walk along darkened corridors
And I walk along darkened corridors
I walk along darkened corridors
And I walk along darkened corridors
(when the cabin is dark, obviously)

And these lines from "Wearing a Raincoat":

Demanding constant attention
Will only lead to attention
And once they have your attention
They use it to ask for attention
And once they have that attention
They use it to ask for attention...

And from their new album, how about "Careful What You Pack?"

It's a new year
Careful what you pack
There's no going back...

[blue up]

On a Longhaul with a Birmingham crew....


"There once was a steward from Brum
who liked to shove things up his 8um.
His boyfriend from Luton
could get 2 bits of fruit in
and the neck of a bottle of Rum"

:O

[Sugarcoated]

That one from View from the Top
And Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
