99 Luftbaleens
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftbaleens

Baleen sounds like a traditional Irish name.
Although it would probably be spelled as Bhalishngt.

That looks more like scottish to me.

I was traveling in Alaska once and stopped in a gift shop to look for some souvenirs. I saw a little black woven basket. It looked like it was made with very heavy plastic line, the size of line you'd find in a heavy duty string trimmer. It was pretty, and a nice small size, about as big as a grapefruit with a little domed lid. I picked it up and saw on the tag on the bottom that was made from whale baleen by Alaskan Natives. I also saw they wanted $3,500 dollars for it. I gingerly replaced it in the case and moved over to the postcard, shot glass and snow globe section.

Funny, when I saw that title I was thinking of Marty too.

They became Starship, and then got old.

"We Built This City" has got to be one of the worst songs ever. Starship is but a mere shadow of Jefferson Starship, which itself is a mere shadow of Jefferson Airplane.

Rich got the joke.

agreed @ we built this city

Grace is still a good looking woman, but the before and after juxtaposition just isn't fair.

Baleen,baleen,baleen,baleen
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Baleen,baleen,baleen,baleen
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming farts of plankton air
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like the death of spring
Your voice is odd like bellowed pain
And I cannot compete with you,baleen

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name,baleen

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me,baleen

Baleen,baleen,baleen,baleen
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Baleen,baleen,baleen,baleen
Please don't take him just because you can

That's because youse guys don't get it, didn't get the message. Grace was trying to warn you hippies living in a post Vietnam alter reality, that the 1% were stealing your government and your future. :borg:

Balin/baleen. We got the joke. We were just extending it.

BTW, this thread prompted me to go back and listen to Plastic Fantastic Lover (A Balin tune about his new TV, if you believe the liner notes). One of JA's best songs and visionary as well.

footfootfoot 12-01-2011 03:33 PM
That is still a great song
