truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (smaug)

So, on the way to my dressage lesson, the radio played Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly," and I started wondering. How many songs are there with that title (for these purposes, we also count "Learning to Fly"), and would they make a good mix CD*?

I can think of four:

1. Foo Fighters, "Learn to Fly"
2. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "Learning to Fly"
3. Pink Floyd, "Learning to Fly"
4. Joe Rathbone, "Learning to Fly"

(If you want to expand into songs that talk about learning to fly in the lyrics, like the INXS song I quoted in the subject line, that's okay, too.)

5. INXS, "Never Tear Us Apart"

Others?

*If I personally were to make such a mix, it would have to include my favorite song about flying, Kris Delmhorst's "Little Wings," but that's a song about what you do after you've learned to fly.

To The Broader List,

I'd add:
    The Kinks' "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman"
    Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away"
    Lyle Lovett's "Flyin' Shoes"
    the gospel song "I'll Fly Away" (I like Alison Krauss's rendition for the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack.)
