Going in for Gun. I think the line "BVR is great, but now it's time to have some fun" sums it all up. Every fighter pilot dreams of using the gun in combat.
I Wish I Had a Gun Just Like the A-10. Just a bunch of shit talkin'.
I Want to Take Off from a Carrier. We Received a lot of requests from Navy pilots to write a song about naval aviation. The problem was we didn't know shit about it. So we rote about the one thing we did know -- we have no desire to live on a boat.
At Least I'm Not the Snacko. When life hands you a turd, just think about the title of the song. There's nothing worse than being the snacko -- It's a lose / lose proposition.
you've Gotta Be in the Guard. This was the first song we wrote after "Live at the Sand Trap." We had just been banned from performing at the O' Club.
The Legend of Shaved Dog's Ass. At every squadron naming we've attended, the members have threatened to name at least on guy "Shaved Dog's Ass." We always joked that whoever got that name would be a legend. Trip came up with the idea of writing a song about the greatest wingman who ever lived. There was only one name that came to mind.
S.O.S. Otherwise known as Squadron Officer School. The most useless five weeks of your life. We knew we had to write a song about it, but could never come up with something that captures the essence of that place, i.e. pure Hell. Then the idea of an 80's metal song hit me. First of all, yes we love that stuff. Second, no one did demonic images better than the 80's metal bands. -- Snooze.
Sammy Small. If you only know one song at a fighter pilot bar, it is probably this one. Whenever we play it live, we always like to speed it up just a bit. I guess we're just living out our Rock N' Rolll fantasies.
Back in the LPA. Ah, the good ol' days.
Has Anybody Seen My Wingman? I wrote this one in the show. -- Snooze
12 Inch Penis. Like the song says. 100% true. Sorta.
Heat's Not Ga. I (Snooze) can honestly say that I never wanted to put "HLTC" on the first album. Trip talked me into it saying, "Who the Hell is going to listen to this crap anyway." Two years later, we have received more e-mails asking "What's up wit this Heat guy?" than anything else.
Squiggly Porn. Admit it. You know what we're talking about.
The Things I Love. We added this on the last day of recording. Just messin' around.
