Flying is a song by Chas & Dave. It originally appeared on their 1982 album Joblot as an instrumental,[6] however in 1987 it was re-recorded with vocals and added to their 1987 album Flying,[6] lending its name to it in the process. When the vocal version was released in the UK, it made #88.[1]

In 1998, US radio stations began playing the vocal version of "Flying" in heavy rotation,[6] resulting in considerable public response. To cash in, The World of Chas & Dave was released.
