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.

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.

"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.

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.
