Can We Pretend This Airplane

Can we pretend this airplane on the flight plan lists one of you? I could really crash this plane right now. Plane right now. Plane right now.

An animated split-screen cartoon shows a red-haired man standing beside an airplane and a masked, tearful passenger strapped into a seat. The lyric joke pairs “Can we pretend this airplane on the flight plan lists one of you?” with “I could really crash this plane right now,” turning a dramatic song into an absurd threat about crashing the plane. The clip uses the song “Airplanes” by Flash 5, a pop/hip-hop-style track made famous by B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore, before cutting to a real airplane flying over a bleak landscape and fading to black.

Can we pretend this airplane on the flight plan, less one of you? I can really crush this plane right now, plane right now, plane right now. Can we pretend if I pull that mask off, think I'll die? I can really crush this plane right now, plane right now, plane right now.
