Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

It's a long way from L.A. to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky
Starwood in Aspen
John Denver
He flies through the air with the greatest of ease

(He didn't go far, but it was air travel! :-)
Off we go, into the wild blue yonder
Flying high into the sun

I'm leavin' on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Come fly with me,
Let's float down to Peru
In llama land
There's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
(Styne/VanHeusen)

They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly

I've traveled here and everywhere
Following my job;
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of God

I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun...

See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly

With clouds between their knees

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars
Let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars
Fly me to the Moon

Flying High by Pizzacato Five
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
Angel
Sarah McLachlan
Just then the witch
To satisfy an itch
Went riding on her broomstick
Thumbing for a hitch

He jumped so high high high
He touched the sky sky sky
And he didn't come back back back
'Till the fourth of July
Miss Mary Mack (as sung be Ella Jenkins - folkways records)
Sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never (never, never) reach the sky
The Animals
Well I saw this thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced a shakin and I said whoo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater
Purple People Eater
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Joni Mitchell, "This Flight Tonight"
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
[snip]
But ho ho ho!
Who has the last laugh now?
(Gershwin/Gershwin)
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
Looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying

Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Elton John
A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
[...]
The buzzard told the monkey, "You are choking me
Release your hold and I will set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said "You're story's so touching but it sounds just like a lie
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten upand fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
"Straighten up and fly right"
I'm just a little black rain cloud
Hovering over a honey tree
I'm just a little black rain cloud
Pay no attention to little me

Little bird, little bird
Fly through my window
Pete Seeger sang it

I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is flying on your wings
So, if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?
(Carmichael)
I had my tray table up
And my seatback in the full upright position
Weird Al, "Albuquerque"
Oh if I had the wings of an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
"New Jail," old timey
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below
Are sleeping as we fly
-from Raymond Briggs' "The Snowman"
Flyin' into Los Angeleeees,
Bringin' in a coupla keys.
Don't touch my bags if you please,
Mr. Customs Man.
Arlo Guthrie
And He will raise you up on Eagle's Wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn...
Eagle's Wings, a favorite funeral tune or general crying purposes
(this is old enough to play twice, yes?)
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly,
towards the dreams you left so very far behind
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus,
Leaving Levon far behind;
Take a balloon and go sailing...
"Levon," Elton John
She was gonna be an actress,
And I was gonna learn to fly.
--"Taxi," Harry Chapin
Gonna buy a ticket for an airplane.
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone,
I'm a-goin' home,
My baby just wrote me a letter.
