Airports in Song Lyrics/Titles

[robw]

Not quite mentioned in the song but a track on Donald Fagen's latest album called "Security Joan" is described in the sleeve notes as "A sweet interlude at Laguardia. Traveling man and airport security babe "meet cute" "

"LA International Airport". Yes, that's an actual song and that's the song title! It's a country-style song and really not that great. That's just my take on it anyway.

What you can not find on the net:

. - Susan Raye Lyrics - L A International Airport Lyrics

Standing in the silent hall waitin' for the final call

Says he doesn't love me anymore

Shaking hands I pack a bag trembling voice I call a cab

Slowly I start walking to the door

The cab arrives he blows his horn I stumble at in the early morn

Tell him of the place I've got to go

Cared a hundred single nights paid her bills and a traffic fine

Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow

LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar

LA Internation Airport I won't see him anymore



The stewardess in a miniskirt a hippie in a leather shirt

I started on the way to Naples Row

While I'm wondering where it's at I see a Paris diplomat

Call his kids while trying to get back home

Baggage car goes quickly by see my face and start to cry

Stumble to the lounge to be alone

And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best

To fight the pain that's making me leave home

LA International Airport...



With silver wings across the sky paper trails and wave goodbye

To those below who've got to stay at home

I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight

Rid myself of every tear I own

Soaring high above the heaven in a 747 fighting back the tears that curse my eyes

Captain's voice so load and clear amplifies into my ear

Insuring me and flying friendly skies

LA International Airport...

Theres one called "airport" by The Motors, a hit in the UK late 70's, the song mentions jet plane, runways and baggage, but not an actual airport name!

Also, again for you UK people, Luton Airport, by Lorraine Chase/Cats UK, another minor hit.

How about Typically Tropical, Barbados - mentions of Bridgetown:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now commencing our approach into Bridgetown Barbados
The weather is fine with approximate temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit
The sky is blue and the palm trees are really cool
Captain Wilkock and his crew hope you have had a pleasant flight
And that you will fly Coconut Airways again "

I'm pretty sure Ludacris has mentioned ATL a few times

When they say ATL they don't mean the airport.

Anyway, there is a song called "LAX" by Xhibit, and yes he does mean the airport which is made obvious by the planes in the background. Pretty cool song.

Considering the current state of Delta Airlines, "Delta Blues" is appropriate!!!

If that had been made about ATL you would be correct, but in reference to MEM it refers to the Mississippi River Delta area and the Blues from Beale St...Which you havent lived until you have walked Beale St drunk and woke up the next day with a tattoo...hahaha...God I miss my hometown area...hahaha

Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn

And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues

Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn

And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy — won’t you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a boy can be

(in reference to MEM)

I'm pretty sure Ludacris has mentioned ATL a few times

Car 54 Where are You?? Theme by Nat Hiken

"There's a hold up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a scout troup short a child,
Kruschev's due at Idlewild
Car 54, Where Are You?"
