Greetings Hive Mind.
So, this year, i got a job that involves being away from a lot. This means that i don't get to spend nearly as much time with my wife as i used to. To this end, I want to make a mixtape for my wife for Valenties day of songs with a theme like "I'm on the road a lot," only I haven't really been able to come up with much.

I'm looking for songs that reference television in the lyrics or the title that are relatively new (no music before 1980) for a mix.
Blur's Coffee and TV and Arcade Fire's (Antichrist Television Blues) are on the list already.
I'd like to get the hive mind's suggestions for others.

What are some songs about flying, preferably in a plane of some kind? My friend is a pilot and I want to make a mixtape for him with some songs about flying. So far, all I've come up with is the following:
AF607105 - Charlotte Gainsbourg (even if it does involve a crash, it's lovely)
Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd
Come Fly with Me - Frank Sinatra
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance!
