Songs for the ride up?

[vonSanta 0]

If ya jump mainly from Cessnas you'll pretty quickly find ways to use the 30-35 minute ride to altitude. Brockian ultra Cricket doesn't work because there's no way of running away and saying 'sorry' - at least not til the door is open.

Singing skydiving related songs work though. Especially if there are first time students/tandems on, then it works even better. They work best after sunset and a couple of litres of beer though.

My fav gotta be "Blood on the risers" but there are others I know nothing about except the chorus.

So 'spit 'em out if ya got 'em

That is quite possibly the most disturbing song I have ever heard!

Heheh, yeah, that's why it's sung primarily when there's a tandem on the plane .

The looks on their faces is priceless and it does add an extra touch to their video

I like these verses the best:

He hit the ground, the sound was "splatt"
the blood it spurted high;
His comrades, they were heard to say:
"What a pretty way to die!"
He lay there rolling around in the welter of
his gore,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

VIII
There was blood upon the risers, there was
brains upon the 'chute,
Intestines were a-danglin' from his para-
trooper suit;
They picked him up still in his 'chute and
poured him from his boots,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.



And the last one of course.

Except when you're a student with three jumps and it's all you can think about as you move towards the door.
I can understand and even enjoy the dark humor now, but back then it was just really unpleasant.

Oh man i'm having flashbacks to Ft. Bragg now. My mom came to visit and I took her to the airborne museum and during the movie presentation that song was playing and she about freeked. I thought it has funny as hell.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I vividly recall the day I went for first jump training, I couldn't get Good Charlotte's "the day that I died" out of my head.

Life is ez
On the dz
Every jumper's dream
3 rigs and an airstream

Based on the tradition that most stupid questions can be answered with the word "Duh", most songs can be sung with Duh for most of the lyrics. You can even do Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra, but it's not good jump plane music.

Examples: Mission Impossible theme song requires special emphasis and two-part harmony. The Hawaii Five-O theme song. 5-0 is a particularly rousing song.
