Cryptically-disguised song lyrics

^Ailerons was quite a regular word in our house at one point, with the kids trying to make paper aeroplanes fly straight, to cries of "stop fiddling with the ailerons, now it's even worse!"

You put ailerons on your paper aeroplanes?

We just folded up a piece of paper, made it look vaguely like a plane and trusted to luck. I remember ailerons from making Airfix model kits.

Now I'm googling and learning about paper aerodynamics during lunch, lol.

My son went through a phase of loving aircraft. I used to take him to a hobby and arts store near our home - we assembled a couple of planes using kits - it was fun!

We tried anything to keep them up in the air. Just looked at ribbons' link, and in fact I think they were 'elevons' or 'flaps', not ailerons.

Looks like Song 3 is more down to earth. "Drive" - The Cars

"Point out he who will convey you to your domicle by motor vehicle this evening" / "Who's gonna drive you home tonight?"
