City in the Sky

A new documentary series started on BBC Two last night (Sunday, 5th July) called City in the Sky, with Dallas Campbell and Dr. Hannah Fry, detailing the inner workings of air travel...it's fascinating, mesmerizing and even a little bit thrilling. I recommend to anyone with access to iPlayer to have a look.

Anyway, I came up with the most ridiculous idea just because the title sounds like a pun, so here's a parody of the song Spirit in the Sky, for the show:

When I fly and I lay back to rest
Gonna be on a plane by Southwest
When I get on board to fly
Goin' up to the city in the sky

Goin' up to the city in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I fly
When I fly and I lay back to rest
Gonna be on a plane by Southwest

Adventure though; you know it's a thirst
Gotta have a friend in Airbus
So you know that when you fly
They gonna recommend you to the city in the sky

Gon' recommend you to the city in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you fly
When you fly and you kick back to rest
Gonna be in safe hands with Southwest

Never filled my case...too much
I got a friend in Qantas
So you know that when I fly
They're gonna set me up with the city in the sky

Oh set me up with the city in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I fly
When I fly and I lay back to rest,
I'm gonna go to a place in the west
Gonna be on a plane for the west

Hope you like!
