The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (initially known as the Douglas DC-9) is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner. It was first manufactured in 1965 with its maiden flight later that year. The DC-9 was designed for frequent, short flights. The final DC-9 was delivered in October 1982.
The DC-9-based airliners, MD-80, MD-90 and Boeing 717 later followed in production. With the final deliveries of the 717 in 2006, production of the DC-9/MD-80/90/717 aircraft family ceased after 41 years and over 2,400 units built.
During the 1950s Douglas Aircraft studied a short- to medium-range airliner to complement their higher capacity, long range DC-8. (DC stands for Douglas Commercial.) A medium-range four-engine Model 2067 was studied but it did not receive enough interest from airlines and it was abandoned. In 1960, Douglas signed a two-year contract with Sud Aviation for technical cooperation. Douglas would market and support the Sud Aviation Caravelle and produce a licensed version if airlines ordered large numbers. None were ordered and Douglas returned to its design studies after the cooperation deal expired.
Yeah, Oh Yeah, Yeah, Oh Yeah!
Go To A Party, We'll Crash It
In A Hotel, We'll Trash It
Got A Bottle, We're Drinking
Got A Yacht, He's Got A Yacht?
We'll Sink It
Chorus
There's Always Trouble
It Follows Us Around
Everywhere We Seem To Go,
Every City, Every Town
There's Always Trouble
It Follows Us Around
1...2...3...4....
Who's That Knocking At The Door?
Zap, Pow, Biff, Bang, Holy Cow!
Someone's Gonna Get It,
And They're Gonna Get It Now
Smack, Crack, Bish Bash, Heart Attack!
Someone's Gonna Get It,
And They're Gonna Get It Now
It's A Short Walk, We'll Cab It
Got No Invite, We'll Blag It
Got A Light Switch, We'll Fuse It
We've Got A False Box
And We're Gonna Use It
