Question
In the late 80's, possibly the very early 90's, a group put out a song that was put together using sampled bits from the movie Airplane.  I heard that the powers that be sued and "disappeared" the song.  Can you help point me in a direction to finding this very funny song?

Thanks,

Paddy O'

Answer
Dear Paddy,

I actually don't have any idea of that song. But I know that a group parodied a scene from that movie and included it in their album.
blink-182 recreated this jive-talking scene from the 1980 movie AIRPLANE! and put it as a hidden track on their 1994 album CHESHIRE CAT. I'm not sure if they were ever sued for doing this or if it was ever included on the album. Released infos for CHESHIRE CAT never mentioned any hidden tracks. I could be wrong though.

Maraming salamat po!
