theme from top gun




that would be "Danger Zone"



which is also way overused for tandem videos and should be banned

...
Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

"My Way" (Sex Pistols version)
Fat Boy Slim - "Because we can (can can)"
Apollo 440 - "Getting high on your own supply"

"For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

a fairly recent band The Twinemen has several tracks that really hit me as wonderful skydiving songs... as far as I know none of the band has ever jumped, but its amazing how some of the lyrics seem to fit skydiving so well...of course that could be my obsession to apply everything to skydiving somehow...but song titles like..

Learn to Fly
Watch you Fall

and the lyric thats haunted me since a friends death..

"What if i wake up? and the music stops playing...and the red lights still on? Dont be afraid, step into the sun, sing like a mother as she sings to her young...."

its way more laid back than your typical 'skydiving' music but it really hits me sometimes how perfect it is...

How about When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) by Great Big Sea ...

You can hear a clip of it at http://www.greatbigsea.com/themusic/play.cfm

Here's the Lyrics:

I am the fountain of affection
I'm the instrument of joy
And to keep the good times rolling
I'm the boy, I'm the boy,
You know the world could be our oyster,
You just put your trust in me,
Cause we'll keep the good times rolling
Wait and see, wait and see....oh wait and see!
His Exhaltation, a sweet disintegration.
A few discolourations, then it comes along
up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along
It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
CHORUS:
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground

He just needs, something to blind him
Something to wind him up
It won't take long to find him
When it comes on strong.
Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong
It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
CHORUS
Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.
It comes on strong, and I am lifted.
I am lifted, I am lifted!
CHORUS
'Shell
