DFW Base Closing Song

Doug Taylor · March 23rd, 2005, 11:51

Here's a song my pal Bob is going to sing at the DFW LEC base closing party next week:

Base Closing Time

(Sing to the tune of Semisonic’s 1998 hit, “Closing Time”)

[ Guitar chords: G/// D/// Am/// C/// repeat until hit by flying beer bottle ]

Base closing time

Time to turn the lights off, and turn in your SIDA IDs

Base closing time

Time to check your mailbox, with enough paper to make a tree

So gather up you your flight kits, and take them to the exits

I hope you’ve found a crash pad that's near

Base closing time

You don't have to go home, but you can't fly here

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home.........anymore

Base closing time

Go down into the basement, and visit the old pilot lounge

Base closing time

Take yourself a souvenir, but there is not much left to scrounge

So gather up your Jeppesons, with two years of past revisions

Along with updates to your F.O.M.

Base closing time

Nearly 80 years of service, is all coming to an end

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home.........anymore

Base closing time

Should I move to Peach Tree City, or maybe to Lake Lanier

Base closing time

Salt Lake would be OK if it weren't for 3.2 beer

LA is too expensive, and Cincinnati's boring

New York is too freakin' cold

Base closing time

The commute to your city, is going to get real old

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home

I don't know what place I will call home.........anymore

Base closing time.......................

Come on Doug, sing it, and upload the MP3 - then remix it so we can get down on DDR!!!

Doug Taylor · March 23rd, 2005, 12:07

I can't sing, nor play gee-tar. Now if we could have Bumblebee perform it, then we'd have something marketable!

aloft · March 23rd, 2005, 13:04

We have plenty of musicians already, apparently...we just need someone good with ProTools so we can all record our own parts and mail em in for mixing! We'd need a base track (that's base or click track, not "bass" track) for timing, tho.

Doug Taylor · March 23rd, 2005, 13:07

Bob's going to play guitar and I sing I presume. I never knew he played guitar but I think he's got it covered.

I ought to go just to pay homage to my former base. So much better than my current base

Tokyo007 · March 23rd, 2005, 13:08

that would be a cool song to hear (lol..)

time for you to bid for KSLC right?

aloft · March 23rd, 2005, 13:14

No SLC for Doug, he's already addressed that. Seatlock (and 3.2 beer) issues.

Precisamundo. Plus everyone and his SLC-based uncle commutes from PHX to SLC too.

EDUC8-or · March 23rd, 2005, 13:22

My band covers that song. We'll cut you a version without the lyrics and you can get funky on the mic.

Doug Taylor · March 23rd, 2005, 13:27

Too cool!

I'll check with Bob. I should hear something back in a couple hours.

I_Money · March 23rd, 2005, 13:31

Sean Archer, can sing too - harmony??

mpenguin1 · March 23rd, 2005, 14:08

Iain can be one of the Doo-Wah girls......

aloft · March 23rd, 2005, 14:15

I'll be Doug's "hype man".

mpenguin1 · March 23rd, 2005, 14:16

This is priceless, I emailed this to a Delta pilot that lives in DFW that is not working due to a medical. He has been moaning & groaning about the DFW Delta flight drying up, well this is sure to cheer him up a little...

So are you saying "Operation no doubt is in full effect, boyeee?"

asl · March 23rd, 2005, 14:29

Is DFW to be removed entirely from Delta schedules, or just only served served as an outpost?

Doug Taylor · March 23rd, 2005, 14:32

It's no longer a 'hub' city. So you'll only be able to fly between DFW and SLC/CVG/ATL. Should have at least put a mainline bird on the JFK flight to connect to Europe but Jerry never returns my phone calls.

Tim · March 23rd, 2005, 17:15

I cant get Jerry to return mine either, they keep saying he's busy trying to save an airline...who knows?

Doug Taylor · March 23rd, 2005, 17:18

Like he's been doing the last, uhh, decade he's been on the board, eh?

Tim · March 23rd, 2005, 18:32

Very true....Its out today with Jerry saying more cuts are needed but instead of blaming pilot salaries like he use to he is now saying its the fuel cost...Still not saying giving Leo and the crew all those millions didnt hurt
