We mentioned this briefly. But it deserves a closer look. AND to go to number one*

Let’s fly, let’s fly, fly, fly Ryanair, We’re gonna take you there, fly, fly Ryanair,

Let’s fly, let’s fly, fly fly Ryanair, We’re gonna take you there, fly, fly Ryanair,

Sit down, relax, time to step in, Buy a juice for Little Johnny and get yourself a Gin,

We got sweets, treats, lots of goodies on the trolley for you,

Whatever it is that you need, ask the friendly cabin crew,

Let’s fly, let’s fly, fly, fly Ryanair, We’re gonna take you there, fly, fly Ryanair,

Let’s fly, let’s fly, fly, fly Ryan-air,

We’re gonna take you there, fly, fly Ryanair…

The Daily mail had an article on it last week.

The company said: “We’ve had a great response from our passengers and have even heard news of conga lines forming in the aisles.”

Note to terrorists: Just form a congo line when this song plays, everyone will just think you’re ryanair crazy in a good way.

I love the way Ryanair push the boundaries between marketing and sales into actual mind fuck psychosis. It’s pure genius. Imagine hearing this on the red eye into Stansted? Any time I fly red eyes I’m basically in a semi-conscious state, barely able to cope with reality. (And quite happy to pay airport prices for breakfast.) Then this little jangle, spawned by the most psychotic (genius?) marketing department (click this link for a rundown of their recent exploits) in the world, plays, implanting itself into my brain. The little bastard jangle stays with you all day and then just as you are shaking it you make the return flight. And thus the brain injection is complete. And so we all become slaves to the O’Leary.

Oh, if all you are interested in is the “Girls of Ryanair” 2008 Calendar featured in the youtube, (which was done in aid of the Angels Quest Irish childrens charity last year) the daily mail has you covered for that too.

And just to round off the post, don’t forget that O’Leary is threatening to launch a long-haul airline under different branding next year. Strap in and bring on RyanAtlantic !

*Number one thing to play on repeat in hell that is.

Funny tune about Captain Bertie.
