Since flight attendant Steven Slater’s unorthodox deplaning on Monday, August 9th, from a jetBlue plane on which he had been working, there have been no less than twenty-one different songs on the subject written and recorded and posted to the internet.

This is all of them.

If you know of any not featured here, or related folk-musical artifacts or oddities tied to the subject, leave me a comment and I’ll be sure to get them added. If you’re curious about the backstory to some of this, see my previous post about the Slater folks music / viral weirdness thing.

My interest has largely been in collecting actual recorded musical compositions/performances, but there are few things I’ve tripped across that fall more on the periphery of this collection than anything. Again, let me know if I’m missing anything interesting.

Here’s a cover of Rachel’s ballad by youtuber Kimfob:

IGN blogging-type-person That Reilly Monster wrote lyrics to a ballad

CartoonOverlord put together an odd little animation complete with jingle, Steven Slater – Fabulous Quitter
