The Lyrics
This Song is reaction to the surprising number of top musicians that have been killed by airplanes and helicopters. This shocking fact barnstormed me after doing research for parodies. It's not supposed to be funny. But what else can you do after you have cried.
Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made Rick Nelson great.
Jim Croce, just had it made. Killed by airplanes.
Didn't like John Denver's wake. Otis Redding watched the bay.
Poor, Ritchie Valens met fate. Killed by airplanes.
And you know who loved BOPPIN', eight was late and BIG was in.
Jim Reeve, we could use a man like Buddy Holly again.
Patsy Cline sang Crazy then. Ronnie Van Zant life just went.
Steve Gains was with Ronnie when? Killed by airplanes.
Eat a little Don McLean, watch Bill Graham presents.
Grieve yourself with Randy Roads it cost poor Ozzie a friend.
Flair was bue guitar was stong. Stevie really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong. Where were the blades?
