What the F**k John???

I am sailing?

I am sailing?????

Now correct me if I am wrong (and I am sure you can remember the Ark Royal program on telly in 1970 something) but it was a song about sailing stormy waters, across the sea.

The links with flying seems tenuous??

Ah hum cough cough splutter, Mr Wolfe and Mr Day, the second verse goes such ----- I am Flying I am Flying Like a bird cross the sky, I am Flying, Passing high Clouds, to be with you to be free --- I think an appology is in order gents. Once again, do your homework before letting your mouth go

Day --- I got Neil young expecting to fly before you

And you have a distinct lack of contributions in the evening dont you

Its because you know I am at work all day and the evening is my only chance to go on. But you are bitter and twisted, you low down son of a gun, --- "Im going to bed now" --- you wuss.

That opens things up competely if it's lyrical content and not just song titles. For example you could include Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Second line "where the eagles fly over mountains high"

What's the ruling on this?

AlastairW · Post by **AlastairW** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 5:02 pm

You still have not read the original rules Dave!!!!

You have to post a song relating to flying, mentioning flying in the song title or lyrics, or with some link to flying, the more remote the better

So something in the lyrics is allowed.

However Kitts "Comfortably Numb" is stretching it a bit...... although it does mention balloons in the lyrics, so for that reason, I will allow it.

And I am grovelling Mr Watson, you are of course completely right on the second verse of sailing. How many Rod Stewart concert you been to then????
