Club Des Belugas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Miscellaneous
Mile High Club
747 or a VC10
winter, summer who knows when?
takeoff passion flyaway love
Mile High Club
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
I never heard that noise before
don't be treated like a pound
let currencies go up and down
Mashed Potato, Rocksteady Rub
Mile High Club
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
I never heard that noise before
never give up never say die
ignore the fools when they cry
"If this thing fails - nothing at all!"
It won't fail
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and downs
it's got its ups and down
The song "Mile High Club" by Club des Belugas explores the concept of having sex on an airplane, which is also known as the "Mile High Club." The lyrics mention both a 747 and a VC10, which are both aircraft models and give a sense of the grandeur and high-flying nature of this romantic experience. The song suggests that this act is not limited to a particular season or time, as it says "winter, summer who knows when," and implies that it is full of passion and love, with the phrases "takeoff passion flyaway love" and "it's got its ups and downs," which could refer to both the act of flying and the ups and downs of a sexual encounter.
The song also conveys a sense of excitement and novelty in experiencing something new and unconventional, as seen in the line "I never heard that noise before" and the reference to various dances such as "Mashed Potato" and "Rocksteady Rub." The lyrics then encourage listeners to pursue their desires and not be constrained by societal pressures or fluctuations in financial markets, with the line "let currencies go up and down."
Overall, "Mile High Club" is a playful and upbeat song that celebrates the idea of experiencing new and exciting forms of pleasure, while also encouraging listeners to follow their hearts and pursue their passions.
