Paul Revere & The Raiders - The Great Airplane Strike Lyrics
I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said, "Jump"
I threw my clothes and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport and I ran to the ticket line
Man said, "Son, you could have saved the run, those airplanes just quit flyin'"
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home
Uh-huh
I ran to the terminal building, to fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing and I said that was fine
He said, "I'll confirm your reservation, and put the plane on hold"
He come back and said, "Sorry but that wing space just been sold"
If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home
I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire
Threw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in, so scared his face was white
So I explained my situation, he said, "That's all right"
If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home
Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my things again
I waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
The driver said, "I'm sorry, but this taxi's out of gas"
If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Please dance... quit posing
Complete with go go girl!!
loo at :22 why why why (is it so hard ? ) /all about her . hey it's their record
Cool 😎
Good guitar riffs Jim Valley!
Are we sure that was Jim Valley. (BTW, I love Jim Valley, I just wasn't sure he was in the band when it was recorded.) I would like to know if it was Jim Valley, I guess we can assume that for now.
I thought it was Harpo, too, but I think it's Drake Levin on the album, apparently he played during the recording sessions uncredited... Jim Valley played the tracks live during this period. Or so I've read.
Long version this time! Cool!
bob I want better dancers with hair flying
1st Album I ever bought, n' still like every song...don't know if I had the long version of this song though. Mark Lindsay, one of the great voices of the late '60's /early '70's....n', who was that '80's babe?
What do you mean the 80's babe?
Never could figure out why they used the sound of a fighter aircraft airplane sound instead of the a commercial aircraft, that sound affect was available or could be created with electronics. ???
is might have been all that was Flying back then ? . a nat baggage holder strike
, the 45 had the biplane sound, the album had a jetliner sound
Great song and dancing! Thumbs up!
Good to see someone else besides me posted the full length version.
That wasn't the album version of the album of the same name was it? I don't recall.
The album was called the spirit of 67
@D Gardner - This is the "Unreleased Full Session Take" that was edited down & Re-Mixed for both the Album and single Version !
Great song - Cool interpretation. : )
Always been a fav tune.
A Really Good Jam!!
