Airplane! (titled Flying High! in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, and the Philippines; "L'aereo più pazzo del mondo" in Italy) is a 1980 American satirical comedy film directed and written by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson. The film is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, which it follows fairly closely, with superficial changes. For example, Ted Striker was Ted Stryker in the older film. The film is known for its use of absurd and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns and gags.
Airplane! was a financial success, grossing over US$83 million in North America alone, against a budget of just $3.5 million. The film's creators received the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Comedy, and nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and a BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay.
Airplane, high tail
The ground I see is you
Clouds distrurbing my view
Your voice calling me through
Sunset
Rise, sun
I'm circling over you
Slowly you open your eyes
Waving and pushing my airplane a thousand feet higher
CHORUS:
To see all of you, all of you
Pushing through
If there's a heaven, then heaven is you
Nothing to fear
Always to return
A storm ahead, a blizzard, a hurricane, surrounded by lightning
My plane is strong, lifting me up over troubled skies
Turning around I get closer and closer
Your bed is an island ahead
Smiling, you're shaking your pillow
Waving and pushing my airplane a thousand feet higher
CHORUS
All of you, all of you
Pushing through
If there's a heaven, then heaven's you
Nothing to fear
I was scared of flying on this plane called Love that carries us
I already know it will fall down soon
The rising feelings can't be hidden, can't be stopped, until where will it go?
Everything I know is being with you
Past the tall forest of buildings, across the horizon, feeling overwhelmed
The air current shakes, close your eyes and come with me
Come with me. Airplane. Love.
Come with me. Airplane. Love.
This plane that flies in the sky, that twirls the wind, that walks in the clouds, has taken off but
I believe in you, the one miracle, the only person whose hand I hold
When I open my eyes, we will be falling down the empty path without any heart fluttering
We can't deny it, it's over between us
Walking on top of the heavy gravity, enduring the rough breaths, what will remain?
During this dangerous journey, if it's you, come with me
Come with me. Airplane. Love.
Come with me. Airplane. Love.
This plane that flies in the sky, that twirls the wind, that walks in the clouds, has taken off but
I believe in you, the one miracle, the only person whose hand I hold
Ecstatic flying flying, feeling faint even in joy, falling falling (trust in our love)
High, higher higher, because you will catch me, you you you oh you
This plane that flies in the sky, that twirls the wind, that walks in the clouds, has taken off but
I believe in you, the one miracle, the only person whose hand I hold
The flight that twirled the wind, walked the clouds, is over but
I believe in the long-time fate, I believe in eternity
Over the city in an airplane
I can see everything below
The houses they look so tiny
The cars look like dots
We've only got fifteen minutes to go
The clouds in the sky caress my mind so tenderly
The sun shines down on the great big beautiful scene
The sound of the engine fills my ears up
I'm hopin' this rainy weather clears up
My lover is waiting at the airport
Soon she'll be kissing me hello
The woman sitting next to me tells me 'bout her guy
And I tell her all about you and I
Airplane, airplane
Carry me back to her side
Airplane, airplane
I need God as my guide
Down, down on the ground
Can't wait to see her face
(a-1, a-2, a-1, 2, 3)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
To see (her face)
I can't wait (can't wait)
Drifting though the atmosphere
And up into space
Leave behind the moon he's sitting
In his special place
Some flutterbies they enter and they
Play around in my soul
And once again part of me
Fills up to be whole
Da da day, just flying in my airplane
Peaceful colors everywhere
Purples and deep blues
Feeling so at home here, oh
As if up here i grew
It's so beautiful up here now
Oh, I think I might just stay
All alone and by myself
So free and far away
Da da day, I'm with my aeroplane
I can see heaven, heaven down below
I look at heaven
And an angel who I know
I can see heaven, heaven down below
Da da day, I'm with my aeroplane
Overhead to my surprise a plane was flying by
While I contemplated diving in the pool
But you'd think I'd see that my thoughts have gone awry
And I can't explain why I feel like a fool
I'm singing I know I'll feel better when I look into your eyes
And I'm feeling optimistic 'cause you're cool
But I won't now I don't know what it takes to be a man
And I don't know why my dick shrinks in the pool
Overwhelmed by stupid fear and introspective thought
I dismiss the accusations I'm not though
But I think the courage displayed was unjust
Cause I seem to have a problem getting up
Singing I know I'll feel better when I look into your eyes
And I'm feeling optimistic 'cause you're cool
But I won't now I don't know what it takes to be a man
And I don't know why my dick shrinks in the pool
And I don't know why my dick shrinks in the pool
[Verse 1:]
It was the last chance to catch the last flight into
your heart
I wanted so bad just to get there, woke up to late
today to start
I've missed my chance so many times before,
Couldn't find the right keys knockin on the wrong door
Just to find myself alone in the night.
[Chorus:]
I wish I was an airplane, flying back in time to where
you and I had first met
Feelin high just knowin I could hold you again.
Even if it ended the same, I wish I was an airplane
[Verse 2:]
With every heartbeat I feel the heartache of losing you
I need a new start and a new way of getting through
Those runway lights don't compromise, reminds of what I
saw in your eyes
The first time we met, on that San Antonio night
[Chorus 2:]
I wish I was an airplane, flying back in time to where
you and I had first met
Feelin high just knowin I could hold you again.
There was a fire inside no matter how we tried could
not be quenched
Even if it ended the same, I wish I was an airplane
[Bridge:]
I know I need you now, your so far away, I'm blinded by
the clouds.
[Chorus 3:]
I wish I was an airplane, flying back in time to where
you and I had first met
Feelin high just knowin I could hold you again.
I said it before and I'll say it again
Even if it ended the same, Even if it ended the same,
If it ended the same
In an airplane
I take the window seat
A thousand feet
And all I know shrinks in minutes
And when the sky is gray
I want to believe
That when the sun is hiding
It still exists
In an airplane
Are kings and common men
At the window side my side
Their view is now the same
Some relax and rest their eyes
Some sit on the edge
As we all break through the clouds
Into the light of day
Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you
Leave behind your busy life
All you have is who you are
Space like this is hard to find
So breathe it in
Someone will say, "Where are you headed?"
And it might be the first time
You ever thought about it
Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you
A baby's talking two rows behind me
The sun just set for the second time today
You seem to use the smallest things around me
To get me to this place
Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
[Instrumental]

Spread these wings open wide
Open wide to my grave
Spread these wings open wide
Open wide, shed these braves
We only know our love is for you
We only know our love is for you
We only know our love, our love is for you
We only know our love, our love is for you
In the end
You're a page of words laying across the sky
And even the airplanes they gaze away
Ah but they never look down to read what you say
We only know our love is for you
We only know our love is for you
We only know our love, our love is for you
We only know our love, our love is for you
We only know our love, our love is for you
We only know our love, our love is for you
Our love, our love is for you
Airplane, airplane
Put me to sleep again
Take me away
Off to a dream
And then I'll fly
So high across the sky
And wake in a new place
Where mistakes of my past are erased
Don't drop me
Don't stop me
Just hold me
So cosy
Airplane, airplane
Don't you go down today
Take me away
Off to a better place
You know just where I'd like to go
Please get me there on time
Don't delay me from losing my mind
Don't drop me
Don't stop me
Just hold me
Airplane, airplane
Don't you go down today
Take me away
Off to a better place
You know just where I'd like to go
Please get me there real soon
Sittin' around, waiting for an airplane
Don't know how to fly, but that's okay
Got me a pilot, she's going my way
If she's got wings, if she's got wings
Sittin' around, waiting for the mailman
I don't how he could be so slow
My good friend said you wrote me a letter
Must have been a year ago
Well, I've got a feeling
That I should be leaving on
Sittin' around, watching the rainfall
I don't know how it could rain so long
They say the ocean, she is a woman
Who waits for her man to come home
Well, I've got a feeling
That I should be leaving on
Well, I've got a feeling
That I should be leaving on
Well, I've got a feeling
That I should be leaving on
Well, I've got a feeling
That I should be leaving on
Well, I've got a feeling
That I should be leaving
Sittin' around, waiting for an airplane
Don't know how to fly, but that's okay
I got me a pilot, she's going my way
If she's got wings, if she's got wings
If she's got wings, if she's got wings
If she's got wings, if she's got wings
(hook: repeat 2X)
Keep on taking me high, so high
If they say we fly, we fly
(Who dat?) Flict' and Do or Die
(Who dat?) Coming from the Chi
Bring in the bidness, shut em' down cause their raw
Making you feel this, two of the realest crews
Laying the rules, do you wanna get chewed up?
Shut em' down, one round, when we cruise up
Don't pop, one two, combination get a swift violation
Put it on my nation, hit em' high, low, murderistic flow
We can throw down, in the middle we clown
To all my homies locked down, you know I got the clip
I'm a pop 'em and drop 'em with two shot
Just sippin' and dippin', are you slippin' and trippin'?
Motherfucker we don't care who dropped on who block
You gotta ride on, you'd better say what motherfucking side you on
Never know what the Flict' and Do or Die be on
85 MPH
Finna' break all them fakes, in your face, demonstrate
Suckers never knew we ever get together on you tricks
Chop it like dope, take another year, better step back coming like lunatics
A.K the dope with the scope
And any motherfucker run up will get smoked
And any motherfuckers run up will get choked
Coming from the hood and we ain't no joke
(hook)
True representation coming from the Chi, plenty much to deal with
Tell me could you feel this realness, feel the illness
(?) the world on the business, we live for thrillness
We still could steal this, let 'em really get to know the deal in this game
When you push up the price on your name, cause people cause the rain
Trying to get your message, just live off your vein
Keep blowing, flowing, glowing, now your soaring like a airplane
Flying through the sky
Steady keep on pimpin' and we thinking were Do or Die
Keep em' hot and horny and the canist they want a ride
If they say we high, we high
They say your bogus, you got the locusts
Can't hardly keep my focus, mentally I be the dopest nigga
Nigga been sippin' cypher with my six shot rifle
Tonights the night I take flight, I keep it hot like vipers so fly
I'm knowing your thinking were too zoned out, too blowed in the Mo' gone
But your all wrong, all we do is fly
We show floating on, still strollin' on, keep it strokin' on
>From the home of the C-H-I-C-A-G-O
Do or Die and Crucial on the airplane
Represent for the same thang, running that we claim, the bounce bang
Ring slang to the picture, should I wreck shop?
Airplane on the get up, what
You can't stop what you can't get up to touch
You wanna be down, be down where we stay up
Droppin' bombs bout' to blow up
Sure 'nuff it's a hold up on the airways
You're dazed, in the phase, gonna craze, got you crazed
Fly swayed cache, air tight take a flight off hay
On a comeup like airplanes
(hook)
Westside hoodlum with spit shine toys, rhinestone playboy from Illinois
Chi' tiller, raw dealer niller, thuggin' posse like thriller, pop milli's
Push poles like Godzilla, still a villa filler gorilla
Check your mouth cause you know I'm 'bout scriller
Real motherfucker from the Chi, I'm a killer
For realer, gotta set a pound like a pillar
D double O-R-D-IE iller
Crucial Conflict, we be riding high, Do or Die keep your head to the sky
Belo-Zero gotta get me by, keep on getting me high, so high
Hiding in the house, P.D., like a fresh little momma
I'm a (?) like Piranah's, have em' harm you
Screaming, stealth bomber your honor
Yea, Do or Die and this Crucial Conflict's
Trying to accomplish in all this here drama
KILO! What it be like BELO, let em' know our steelo on the D-low
