10cc - I'm Mandy Fly Me: Stereo

[stk1970]

She led me

She fed me

She read me like a book

But I'm hiding in the small print

Won't you take another look

Fantastic lyrics. I actually played this at our wedding this year, and I was only 5 when I first heard it. I'm married to Mandy!

Incredible vocal arrangement! What a brilliant tune..... 10cc was an amazing band. Long live their legacy.

10CC allways was my favorite band.

Lots of todays bands can learn from them, they where great composers.

They used to be in a studio for years before they released a new record.

They even made there own intruments like the gizmo to make the guitar sounds even better.

Real artists

my Dad played 10cc all the time and I grew up on it. They are are a brilliant band and I am proud to pass them on.

Listen you lads of the 00's this is how you play music

[BrothersOFMine]

10 cc was a great band from Manchester England . .they had a variety of stuff lots of melodic stuff. the voice sounds a little Wingsish ,in their time they was bigger than wings in UK . This song I used to play years ago , one of my favs from the band

[derbbus]

I agree with the mcCarteny comparison.

Very much like band on the run with the alternating tempo and guitar strumming.

But its a great track in its own rights.

[moodyblue39]

Very underated band. great songs

[bbagginz]

What an extraordinarily inventive band 10cc were.

Superb vocal harmonies, superb and original musical arrangements, interesting lyrics, great ensemble playing...

Love the tempo and time signature shift in the middle..

Top band!

[berniekav1]

this is my favourite 10cc song...thanx.....i had the LP yrs ago and wore it out lol...lovely hearing it again...

[dorfliedot]

Excuse me, I meant John Lennon.

[dorfliedot]

Sorry Andy42x he is nothing like Paul McCartney. Even though I do think he can sing good. Paul however, is unque among any singer. so, is John Lenonon

[1sababoy]

Even though 10cc had bigger hits like "The Things We Do For Love" and "I'm Not In Love". This song is great because it really showed the range of what this group could do - still an amazing song!

[teet555]

i think its the best song of 10cc yes i am sure love it thanks

[Enderby55]

There's a good live version of Rubber Bullets listed as "10cc Rubber Bullets Live."

I am perplexed that the audience can stay in their seats through the performance. They're definitely a rockin' teenage combo.

[Enderby55]

Though I never saw them live, the CD, "10cc in Concert" reveals they were great with an audience. I strongly recommend it.

This video seems to be the studio version dubbed over concert footage. I think the others from universalmusicgroup may be as well. That's too bad.

"Mandy" was slang for MDMA as well as Mandrax, a sedative. But I always heard this song as a tribute to the flight attendant's REAL job: keeping the passengers safe in an emergency. Maybe I'm naive...

[Hoverbomber]

mandy was cocaine?

since when were 10cc druggies?

[cosmicwarrior287]

beats me why the how dare you album is not in higher regard.

[GATisdale]

Best tune they ever wrote. Brings bsck so many memories. "Where on earth do I begin?"

Best wishes to you and yours.

There was a series of TV ads and billboards (posters), can't remember for which airline, that featured glamorous air hostesses saying "I'm Linda. Fly me!" and, of course "I'm Mandy. Fly me!". Usually preceded by a sort of gong sound (heard near the end of this track) which used to herald airport announcements decades ago. Hence "..the jingle... never struck a chord" and "...through the poster.."

Thanks for putting this up; so many memories :)

Hence

[azore64]

Oneof the best songs from one of the best groups!! thank you.

[messengerfm]

jezzz dont ya kmow mandy was cocaine

[matelot95]

I thought it was Mandrax

[ASR10MAN]

1:37 thru 1:39 Eric Stewart sounds exactly like like Paul McCartney!.

[pleeezeeatme]

I always thought the line "When they pulled me from the wreckage" sounded just like Paul, and it even had that unmistakable McCartney-like bouncy bassline backing it up. He even worked with McCartney on a solo record that had a couple of nice things on it a couple of decades ago. I don't know if I'd place him up there with Paul McCartney/Beatle greatness, but he comes closer than just about anybody I can think of....maybe Todd Rundgren. Hey, why don't Paul and Todd collaborate? Sorry, I rambled

[andy42x]

this is the first time i've ever heard this song, and my first thought was "wow.. that's totally paul mccartney!" similar sound for sure.

[Omid21]

haha im naked!!! z

[CBRSIXPACK]

I remember every word to this song.....30 years on+.Is Mandy the one we dream off,but never find.......?But then "Mandy" stays inside us forever.

[Busterstheboy]

I remembered everything past "the world was spinning like a ball" but nothing before that. It was driving me nuts, that's why I had to look it up on here. Thank god for youtube and the people who post our memories for us!

[CBRSIXPACK]

I always remembered the lyrics "..was it in my mind,it seems i had a Kwazy dream......" lol
