By now you’ve all heard about Steven Slater, the Jetblue flight attendant who quit his job in spectacular style.<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my Facebook buddies, Browncoat Brandon Green,<\/a> pointed out that this guy needed his own Hero of Canton<\/a> style ballad and wrote the chorus.<\/p>\n

Well, I couldn’t resist that. So here, with some rather NSFW language, is…<\/p>\n


\nChorus by Brandon Green,
\nthe rest by Heather Hill<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nSlater, the man they call Slater…<\/p>\n

He robbed from the beer cart
\nAnd he opened the door
\nstood up to the man (in 5b)
\nAnd gave him what for<\/p>\n

Our love for him now
\nAin’t hard to explain
\nThe hero of JetBlue
\nThe man they call Slater…<\/i><\/p>\n

The jackass in 5b was rushin’,
\ncouldn’t wait for the plane to get in.
\nAnd Slater said, “Buddy, quit pushin’
\nAnd get your hands outta that bin.”<\/p>\n

He said, “You can’t do that while we’re movin’,
\nLeave your bag, sir, and please sit back down”
\nBut 5b shot back,
\n“Motherfucker, sneak attack!”
\nand that bag whacked poor Slater on the crown!<\/p>\n

He robbed from the beer cart
\nAnd opened the door
\nstood up to the man
\nAnd gave him what for<\/p>\n

Our love for him now
\nAin’t hard to explain
\nThe hero of JetBlue
\nThe man they call Slater…<\/i>
\n<\/a>
\nNow here is what separates heroes
\nFrom common folk like you and me
\nFor Slater, they say,
\nHe got on the P.A.,
\nsaid, “Fucker, where’s my apology?”<\/p>\n

“Every day I do my damndest
\nto keep you safe and sound when you fly!”
\nThen he smiled real wide
\nand he popped the exit slide
\nand said, “Well now, you can kiss my ass goodbye!”<\/p>\n

He robbed from the beer cart
\nAnd he opened the door
\nstood up to the man
\nAnd gave him what for<\/p>\n

Our love for him now
\nAin’t hard to explain
\nThe hero of JetBlue
\nThe man they call Slater!<\/i><\/p>\n

\"But<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you. I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.<\/center>
