"'I'm Mandy Fly Me'" is a single by 10cc released in 1976. It was taken from the 'How Dare You!' album, and reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
Writing and recording
In a radio interview, Stewart recalled the origins of the song:
He continued:
The album version of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" features an intro in form of one of the bridge sections of the band's 1974 song "Clockwork Creep". The section, whose lyrics are "Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again / 'Cause what goes up must come down", is rendered soft and tinny, as if heard playing from a portable transistor radio or an in-flight audio system.
