Ode to a Volcano


Who would have believed that one could get a song dedicated to the Icelandic Volcano known as Eyjafjallajokull and have that name as the song title.

· Well , Ireland’s Corrigan Brothers , the band who had the international hit “There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama” have done just that.

Here they bring you Eyjafjallajokull which is titled phonetically “AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”

Enjoy


Lyrics Corrigan Brothers- Music Kaiser Chiefs

· “AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.” (Eyjafjallajokull)

Ohh watching the weather get windy
Blowing the ash down towards me
Planes on the ground are not going
We can’t go tooing and fro-ing

A friend of a friend he got stuck there
An airport the far side of no where
Credit card maxed out and NO CASH
VOLCANO STILL PUMPING OUT BIG ASH

La-ah-ah, lalala la la la
Ah-ah-ah, lalala la la la
“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”
“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”

ANOTHER friend he took a bus trip
5 days to drive across Europe
He got to the ferry port Monday
The ferry had sailed out on Sunday

A friend of a friends stuck in Greece says
The economy’s falling to pieces
He needs to get out of Athens
Before something the eventual happens

La-ah-ah, lalala la la la
Ah-ah-ah, lalala la la la
“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”
“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”

Ohh watching the weather get windy
Blowing the ash down towards me
Planes on the ground are not going
We can’t go too-ing and fro-ing

La-ah-ah, lalala la la la
Ah-ah-ah, lalala la la la

“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”
“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”

And if there’s anyone left out there
Who needs to get back in the air

“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”
“AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul.”
