This is a very catchy song. It's very clever, too. I really think it's a pretty good original. What do you think?
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

I like it! It's cute, and has alliteration! What more can you ask for?
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

I like it... and even though Al apparently considers it a non-warped love song, I think it's pretty funny that the whole affair is apparently in the guy's head, with Amy obliviously demonstrating her oxygen mask. :D

I love this song!
I've heard lots of people say they don't like it though. >:o *gets ax and prepares to defend the song*
I like the style of music, and I think its really funny in a slightly more subtle way. AA is one of my favorite originals.

This song reminds me of my high school days where I had a crush on most of the good looking girls, but never had the cajones to talk to them. Good thing I got some before I talked to Mrs. Sumo.

Are you saying that the Airline Amy song is more of a one-way relationship song? I've never thought of it that way before.

Exactly. Remember that Al wasn't married when he wrote this song. I think it is entirely possible.

I don't think it's about a real person, if that's what you're getting at.

This is one of my skip over songs. I admit it has a few funny lines but nothing that really sticks in my mind. So this one isn't high on my favorite list. Al has some better orginals then this one. Sorry! Don't hurt me.

[OE puts on her TypoCop hat] :cop:

Excuse me, Mr. Sumo? Were you aware that "cajones" means "big boxes" or possibly "coffins" in Spanish? You want to swap out that "a" and put in an "o"-- that way you get a word that refers to a couple of items that, while undoubtedly handy when attempting to strike up a conversation with a young lady, are essential for the honeymoon. :S

That's all, just a warning this time. No ticket. :lol:
