Shotgun Plane - a song for the virtual pilots
« on: March 18, 2001, 04:30:00 PM »
Do you remember Urban Blitz video?
Do you remember Kossu singing his song about the Junkers 52? "Rolling rolling rolling..."

Well, this is not anything like it.

But it is a wonderful song for the virtual pilots ;-)

It started from the VLeLv Icebreakers squadron contest, "tell about your most glorious combat". Lark didn't submit a story - he submitted a poem. And what a poem. It inspired one of the other members of Icebreakers, Modo, and here is the result. Song written around the poem.
Shotgun Plane

You can download it from: http://www.oamk.fi/~maalto/shotgun/shotgunplane.mp3  http://www.oamk.fi/~maalto/shotgun/shotgunplane.wav

Singing and composing: Modo / VLeLv Icebreakers
Words: Lark / VLeLv Icebreakers

Please note, Netscape browsers seem to download the song broken. Dunno why. Try  using IE or some download manager if the resulting song doesn't play well.

SHOTGUN PLANE
Written by Lark

Here's my story
from my days of glory
It's the one I don't remember
it was ninety-eight december

They used to call me elvis
nothing to do with my pelvis
I used to drive my Spit
I didn't give a toejam

About nags for alt dweebing
after all THEY were bleeding
I soared high and pounced
and soon was kill announced

When you drive a Spit
you know when you hit
When the D is zero
It's easy to be a hero

Get close
start to hose
It's a shotgun ride

Stay clean
get mean
Forget your pride

There's no mercy in the skies
tho' I still hear their cries
Can imagine their despair
whining "this ain't fair"

The newbies I was killing
all they were willing
to mess with the big boys
to become more than toys

Get close
start to hose
It's a shotgun ride

Stay clean
get mean
No place to hide

Nowadays I fly a desk
I guess it's for the best
My heart goes to all my victims
who thought they were good at flightsims

Maybe this could be a WarBirds anthem? ;-) iEN guys, mention this in your pages? ;-)
