Wing One Update: Tracks 24, 25 & 26 Added (August 23, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

It looks like the end of the road for Wing One! The Fatman has added three more tracks to the album, bringing the total up to 26. Here's the kicker: only one of them is from the game! The upbeat 'Arcade Training Theme', heard when you engage Wing Commander's TrainSim is Track 24. Track 25 is the famous Surf version of the Fanfare, long expected to be part of this album... but Track 26 is real surprise. It's a version of "Go To Sleep You Pilots" with, wait for it, lyrics! They are, in a word, hysterical - if you buy no other part of the album, get this last track!

I love it. I went ahead and wrote up the lyrics as I heard them.

Go to sleep you pilots,
Fight another day.

Go to sleep you pilots,
Safely hit the hay.

There'll be other wars,
Now's the time for snores,
Dreaming like you do.

When the day is done,
And the battles won,
You'll play Wing Commander II, brave boys!

Go to sleep you pilots,
Fight another day.

Sleep,
Sleep,
No, don't push that button,
Sleep.

That's a good pilot.
