    Credits: "Loose Bruce" Kerr wrote, performed the vocals and instrument parts, and recorded it in his garage in Silicon Valley in California.

    Story Behind the Song
    Loose Bruce Kerr is nationally known as a song parodist/satirist, but for this tune, he started from scratch. He recorded it on a Roland digital deck in his garage in Silicon Valley, the traditional starting place for many computer industry successes (HP, Apple, etc.).

    Kerr, in fact, works for a Silicon Valley computer company, as Counsel for Sun Microsystems. This role follows a 20 year career as traveling musician/performer which he moved to following a brief law career out of law school.

    During college, Kerr was a member of the 60's rock band, "The Five Bucks," later named, "Byzantine Empire" which recorded several records on various record labels, the last one being Bell Records.

    In the 70's, Kerr took time out of his solo career to form a duo, then band named "Spud City - Music with a Peel," which toured New England colleges, ocean resorts, and ski lodges from 1976-80.

    In 1980, Kerr went back to solo work and a female bartender in the U.S. Virgin Islands dubbed him "Loose Bruce," a moniker which has stuck to this day.

    In 1987, Kerr has his breakout parody, "Walk Like a Deukmejian," about then-California Governor George Deukmejian and his political fight with Rose Bird, the CA Supreme Court Chief Justice.

    In 1992, Kerr was involved in the U.S. Supreme Court case regarding parodies, "Campbell v. Acuff Rose (2 Live Crew case). Eventually, that re-sparked Kerr's interest in law, leading to his return to that earlier career. Rarely performing these days, Kerr concentrates his spare time in writing, performing and promoting his songs, the latest being this new tune, now available on mp3.com, "Naked Airlines."

    Lyrics
    “NAKED AIRLINES”

    lyrics & music by
    “Loose Bruce” Kerr

    1.I used to fly with my clothes on
    ‘til the Airline Clothing Ban

    We went from scanning to banning
    One airline had tanning
    And this was the ad they ran:

    CHORUS: “FLY SAFE, FLY NAKED
    NO WEAPONS TO FIND
    YOU’RE SAFER WITH NOTHIN’ ON
    NAKED AIRLINES”

    2. No carry-ons, no clothing, no laptops (well, laptops)
    And I’m feeling shy

    Instead of metal detection
    “No Clothing” directions
    From the nude flight attendant, a guy
    (damn!)

    [REPEAT CHORUS:]

    {key change}

    3. Well, we’re all in this together, and dressed in The Altogether
    Manage safely to arrive

    It’s been a long strange trip
    ‘cause we had to strip
    But hey, we’re alive!

    (everybody!)
    [REPEAT CHORUS:]

    YEAH, NO ONE’S GOT NOTHIN’ ON
    NAKED AIRLINES

    2002 Broken Records & Marjorie Music Publ. (BMI)
