Theme - Things That Fly Songs

Here's the list (in the order we thought of them) that Tom and I (and Celise and Lisa and Heather) came up with...
  1. Guitarzan by Ray Stevens
  2. The Fly by Chubby Checker
    Singer of "The Twist" :D
  3. Last Dollar (Fly Away) by Tim McGraw
    Kids really seem to love singing this song... probably because of the "1, 2, 3..." at the beginning.

  4. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky
    I know this piece is overdone in Ice Skating, but it IS about a Fairy, so, I include it.
    PS – Take a look at this link… it's pretty cool, the musician is playing on a
    glass armonica, invented by Benjamin Franklin; only a dozen musicians in the world today.
  5. Fly to Your Heart by Selena Gomez
    Theme Song from "Tinkerbell" Movie
  6. Bring Me To Life (Wake Me Up Inside) by Evanescence
    Nice song for a solo... starts out slow then turns edgy. Not really anything "flying" specific, that would have to come through costumes/props.
  7. Flying Nun Theme Song by
  8. Fly Away with Me by Sterbinszky
    Techno
  9. Fly Away Home by Mary Chapin Carpenter
  10. Star Trekkin by The Firm
  11. Time for Me to Fly by REO Speedwagon
  12. Indiana Jones Theme Song
    Just because I love it… not sure what to "fit" it with though.
  13. I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly
  14. Let's Go Fly A Kite (Mary Poppins)
  15. Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver or Peter, Paul & Mary (both are good)
  16. Rocket - Def Leppard
  17. Flight of the Bumblebee - Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov
  18. Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
  19. Fly me to the Moon - any version
  20. Flight of the Icarus - Iron Maiden
  21. Fly Like an Eagle - Steve Miller
  22. Aeroplane - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  23. Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters
  24. You Can Fly - Peter Pan!
  25. Come Fly with Me - Frank Sinatra or Michael Bublé
  26. Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson
  27. Find Your Wings - Mark Harris
Whoo-hoo I KNOW there are several winners in this batch! Now. It looks like you have to start making choices. :D

I like the fact that there are all different types of music, but most are upbeat (no drearie's here).
