ATF: Airborne

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Something in the Air
Thunderclap Newman
Call out the instigators
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right

And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together
Now

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right

And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together
Now

Hand out the arms and ammo
We're gonna blast our way through here
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right

And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together
Now



Spirit in the Sky
Norman Greenbaum
When I die
And they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place
That's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up
To the spirit in the sky

Goin' up
To the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go
When I die
When I die
And they lay me to rest
I’m Gonna go to the place
That's the best

Prepare yourself
You know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that
When you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go
When you die
When you die
And they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place
That's the best

Never been a sinner
I’ve never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that
When I die
He's gonna set me up
With the spirit in the sky

Oh set me up
With the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go
When I die
When I die
And they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place
That's the best
Go to the place
That's the best

  8. Greenbawm was the nearest thing to a Christian rock song in the 70's, in fact eh was the only thing!

    I actually like DC Talk's version of his song better, however.
