"The Wonder of You"

The Crew of Speedbird 744 just love to make Funny Videos, the ideas normally come in a flash in the wee small hours,  and we are surprisingly quick at making them, as we approached the end of WorldFlight we decided to make one about Elvis flying into Memphis, we found the song, changed the words, downloaded a Karaoke version, practised, sang the song, filmed edited and completed it it 2 hours !    Staring the Long Suffering  Andrew "Granville" Harrison as Elvis and sung by John Davis we think it's a masterpiece :)   I just want to thank Andrew for being a great Sport ! ....You can find the Video at the base of this Post We hope you like it :)    if you want to sing along here are the words ....

When no one else can understand me,
And everything I do is wrong
But When I push the Bloody Buttons
I hear the Wailers like a song ...

And it plunges down,
Toward the ground
Till Andy pulls me through
That’s the wonder,
The wonder of you.

Every time I do a Takeoff
The Plane is always on the Stall
But when I pull back on the column
The Stick Shaker starts to roar ...

And it plunges down,
Toward the ground
Till Malcolm pulls me through
That’s the wonder,
The wonder of you.

And it plunges down,
Toward the ground
Till Big John pulls me through
That’s the wonder,
The wonder of you.


Granville tries on the Wig and Glasses to get into character
