Very good reaction. I have always loved this song. Thanks for looking into the song and showing 10cc such respect.
My favourite 10cc track And for no discernible reason always leaves me in floods of tears.
The "instrument" you're hearing at the start of the track is destination boards changing at an airport. You also hear the boards later in the track..This was the sound they made when the song was made. An example of how innovative 10cc were.
Unique, complex and brilliant band.
I love the use of Clockwork Creep at the beginning cheeky
10cc certainly were a super group. Wish we had them now.
10 cc never made a bad record very underated
As it says on the Album cover - very 10cc, very wonderful. It's all subjective, but your have no idea how I loved this at the time in March 76. Thank you.
You're welcome. '76 what a year x
Back in the '70's the airline Pan Am had commercials with the stewardesses announcing their names and saying 'come fly with me' this is what the title alludes to. ✈
There was a documentary series a few years back i'm sure had the title 'come fly with me'.
This song is genius. There's a key change you'd never know until you try to learn it.
Unique band... could sing about anything and it always sounded great...this one is one of my favourites! 😎🎸 Brilliant stuff! Let's sing about a plane crash... definitely different!
Back in 76' records like this were almost constantly played so you were hearing them in the background on radio's all over the place. That year i was living in Poole an was rarely in the house ....either at school, at the beach or out on my bike riding all over the place........happy days.
I'm astonished that this one passed me by but glad I discovered it.
Amazing song and an incredible band!!!
Supergroup🎵🎶👍
The first lines is from an earleir song: clockwork creep, which tells about an airplane assault from the timebomb point of view (funny back then, now I doubt a lot of people share that dark humour, although they still play it live). This indicates, the plane in this song, with stewardess Mandy and the storyteller, crashed by a timebomb on the plane. Mandy saved the storyteller, but nobody believes him and Mandy was nowhere to be found.
A Super..Supergroup🎵🎵🎶🎶👍
Think the word you where looking for was tripping. great song from my misspent youth.
'I'm Mandy, fly me' struck a chord the first time I ever heard it, so much so that unlike just about any other song from a long time ago, I can still remember when and where I first heard it. As you so rightly said, 'There's nothing not to like about this song'.
I went with my wife to see them in Warrington UK in the early 1980's, and as a music performance they were flawless, but as performers dull as ditchwater especially Eric Stewart who seemed bored to death. We cheered ourselves up by seeing Meatloaf a few months later....now that was a performance !
Nice story. Yeah, the few times I've seen 10CC in videos they seem a little lifeless, but like you say the music is great. Hopefully i'll have another 10CC reaction up this week or maybe early next week
I seem to remember that at the time, it was said that the song referred to the drug Mandrax which was shortened to Mandy. I might be wrong? Saw 10cc a week ago in Reading and they were awesome!
Wow, cool. Who was in their line up?
10cc were a brilliant band unfortunately don,t realise till its far too late how good they were.
The line oh you’ll never get me up in one of these again cos what goes up must come down, comes from an earlier song Clockwork creep from their debut album , the instrument I think you’re referring to is called a gizmotron, a thing Godley and creme invented the fits on the guitar and can be used to make loads of different sounds. They were such a good band the first four albums are definitely worth checking out
All these guys were active in the 60s Graham Gouldman who still fronts a version of the band wrote some classic hits such as Bus stop by the Hollies, For your love & Heart full of soul for the yardbirds, and no milk today for Herman’s Hermits
Oh cool, i didn't know that. Might have to research their roots x
The sound is a a strummed acoustic guitar that's then reversed.
They used the mini moog and the mellotron on this and of course the Rhodes electric piano.. later on the Yamaha cs-80
Great band, their sound always reminds me somewhat of McCartney/Wings.
Sounds like a radio? See Clockwork Creep from the Sheet Music album.
the blood's going to run to zippys head! my favourite 10cc song and it is very dreamlike. they should have been as timeless as queen or sparks but fall outs over musical direction destroyed them. read that graham now admits he was wrong and should have listened to others more. cry by godley and creme is a perfect song
IMHO they are timeless.
im mandy is the second part to "clockwork creep" its afterf thje bomb blows up
Oh wow, so is this a concept album then? x
@@gpreactions3194 they have stories in a lot of songs like clockwork creep the omb blows up in many he is in the wreckage pulled from rhe water. Like one nuit in paris is 3 parts. Put all together on the albums.
@@gpreactions3194 not all their songs are so I don't k ow if I'd call it a concept album
