The Lyrics

Merry & Pippin released their first parody on 5 March 2003. It has been a long journey from those early days. As today marks our ten year anniversary, and traditionally, tin or aluminium ('aluminum' for a North American perspective) is the nature of the gift, the following parody (and the two others released today) is/are loosely about subjects made of those metals. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and friends we have had/do have at AmiRight.

We are away at present for a number of reasons but we will be back. Couldn't let the anniversary go unnoticed.

Original song on YouTube

Freakin’ out, we’re sputt’ring d-down
(Pilot’s got no explanation)
Much too soon, we’ll reach the ground
(Talkin’ ‘bout much consternation)
Pressure’s screwed - got awful c-c-cold
(Masks have dropped – air deprivation)
Descent is why - it’s so uncontrolled
(Increase in my perspiration)

This is bad aviation
This is bad aviation, baby

Why can’t we just f-fly away
(Wings have lost configuration)
This out-dated rig’s not real s-s-safe
(Engines lost their calibration)
It’s allayin’ to laws of big g-gravitation
(Rivets ping from bad vibration)
It’s a shocking route to d-d-dis-integration
(Who needs bombs a-detonatin?)

This is bad aviation
This is bad aviation, baby

I fear we all g-glide astray
(Balkin’ now at levitation)
It’s nose mighty qu-quick points downward w-w-way
(Freakin’ heart’s in fibrillation)
It’s not flying - will cause a b-big s-s-splatt’ration
(Pilot won’t get commendation)
It’s just conkin’ out – I’ve t-t-trepidation
(Suff’rin’ rapid relocation)

This is bad aviation
This is bad aviation, baby

Try fly! Aviation!
High high high
Bye bye avaition

Pilot tries to turn a r-round
(Live, and I’ll start litigation)
Just before we g-g-go aground
(Based on horrid malformation)
Luggage fallin’ from the h-h-hold
(Premature disembarkation)
I regret I: that ticket was sold
(Talkin' 'bout bad aviation)

Fall from sky - gravitation
This is bad aviation, baby

My, my, my, my, my agitation
(Aggravation)

Wish this was just simulation (flappin’ about)
Forced my mile-high cancellation (so, no copulation)
Fell short of my expectations (my commutation)
Sure to suffer bifurcation (bad miscalculation, maybe?)
Crash at sea? Try innundation (swim or sink: expectation)
Burst in flames? That’s conflagration (burning my identations)
Soon to suffer termination? (prob’ly due to segmentation)
This is bad aviation (this is bad aviation)

Deflightful (for the reader, not the protagonist); my pick of your commemorative offerings. Love those endless variations on the 'ations', and the stuttering lines work so well. One of your better ones, and that's saying something. Altitude 555 - better start climbing.

A little bird (actually, a little turtle...) told me of your 10th anniversary... Worthy of congratulation [Here's a toast in celebration...] To Merry and Pippin and another 10 years of perfect parody partnership! :)

Wow, a parody decade! (Would that be a parade?) Marvelous work as usual, but what are hobbits doing in a plane? :-)

... over land, anyway. But missing out on membership in the Mile-High Cllub? Tragedy! (No, a motel in Denver doesn't count. ;) What LL said about variations and stuttering, and as FG said, you are definitely one of the best writing pairs in the business! ;-D
