Flying Songs |
|
|
|
|
Over the years I have listened to many flying songs, some good, some bad, some very funny, some sad. Many of the songs are just "normal" tunes changed (or "covered") with flying related lyrics. It is sometimes difficult to write down the lyrics, but now, in the internet, you can sometimes be lucky and find them already written.
I started some time ago to collect a few and decided to start a page with them here. Whenever possible, I have added a link to the original artist so that you can possibly order the original music. It's not possible for me to add samples here, yet. That requires legal permission and I think the bandwidth would end up costing me a pretty penny.... at the moment my site is fairly low cost.
I welcome any additions and suggestions, as always. Have fun with the selections I have chosen so far. |

Lyrics from the album "Cloudbase" by |
Ed has taken popular songs and re-written them to fit his enthusiasm for glider flying (soaring). The songs are sometimes humourous, sometimes quite serious. Be sure to visit his homepage at edkilbourne.com

I've known their songs for some years, but never knew the name of the group... just found it out. They sing some very "rowdy" air force songs that are at times quite hilarious! Enjoy! They also have a homepage worth visiting: oscarbrand.com
