I love planes, jet aircraft
I love planes, sensual aircraft
Here come the planes.
They're American planes. Made in America.
Smoking or non-smoking?

four weeks pass...

And the little boy is still like a little boy, and he met another
Little girl, and they made another little boy
And the new little guy still loves planes and flying things
And both his mother and father love him and
Hold him and hug him whenever he needs it and
Soon will send him lovingly to the centre of the sky,

I like to pretend Jefferson Airplane broke up after Surrealistic Pillow and all of the members of the band retired into a hippie commune

This is one of the most horrific videos ever. The way they are just hamming it up and mugging at the camera is so cringeworthy. The part when Clarke Gable creeps into the little boy's room while he is sleeping . . . .

some of the superimposed backgrounds are done as awkwardly as a driving scene in a 40s Dick Tracy movie.

also omg, the opening riff kinda sounds like it's gonna be badass, then "I love planes" comes in and ruins the momentum.

lol @ Grace pointing at the plane as if we don't know what it is.

also why is the song clearly about flying airplanes and we keep seeing rockets flying

also, could be the song takes place in a world where the goal of the Apollo program was to reach not the Moon, but "the center of the sky"

What is that shot at 3:44 (right after “sensual aircraft”), where Jack is palling around w/some kind of Moses figure(?)

Btw – the KBC Band “America” video (which timellison posted on March 7, 2017) is a masterpiece, and that song should be the f’n national anthem.

I managed to make it to the ripe old age of 52 without actually hearing this song; I actively avoided everything about it at the time. And . . . why did you do this to me? WHY?

This song, to me, has a genetic link with "Future Pilots," by The Red Crayola w/Art & Language (lyrics here):

It’s genuinely sad that the “little girl” from the beginning of the song doesn’t get the boy… he meets “another little girl”

I feel like we need another song about the original girl
