Readers, Friday was my final Water Cooler, and this is my last post at Naked Capitalism. Friday, I put up a couple of railroad songs, and you had a great time sharing more and more tunes on the same theme. So I thought it would be fun to do the same thing again, with a different mode of transport. Also, a post like this may serve as an amuse-bouche<\/em> before the ginormous tasting menu of the coming week\u2019s events.<\/p>\n For me, songs that features airplanes were pretty hard to find \u2014 perhaps the inherent reciprocation of trains makes them more suitable for popular rhythms \u2014 but I am sure you can do better in comments. At first I tried to be clever with the sequencing \u2014 Paper Planes should really be juxtaposed with Deportee \u2014 but then I just gave up and went with chronological. That reveals a strong bias toward the 60s and 70s, but I can\u2019t help it if my generation had the best music!<\/p>\n Flying Home (Ella Fitzgerald, 1947). Lyrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n
