==Lyrics==
:You can't see much of the skyline
:It looks like more of a grid
:It's a viable variation of view
:But something I'm sure we'll be glad that we did
:It's not like the world that we see from the ground
:I guess the main difference is we're looking down
:So climb on our aerial area rug
:It's certain to keep us aloft
:Its aerodynamics are highly advanced
:And its weave is so tight and so soft
:Though this vista's diverse
:Is it better or worse?
:If you ask, I'll just give you a shrug
:But you can vary your view of the area
:From our aerial area rug
:It's a brand new perspective
:Literally
:We can see the tops of buildings
:Come along with me
:You can vary your view of the area
:From our aerial area rug
:You can vary your view of the area
:From our aerial area rug
==Notes==
*According to Martin Olson: "The song is a satire of a breathless Disneyesque inspirational song but at the same time is a beautiful and fun song aside from the satire." The song was co-written by Tony-award-winning composer Robert Lopez of Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon fame.Comment by Martin Olson on Soundcloud According to Lopez, "we wrote that in under 2 hours and that was a really long time for Dan, Swampy, and Martin."

*The style of the song parodies A Whole New World, the Academy Award-winning song from Disney's 1992 animated feature Aladdin, which was also performed during a magic carpet ride.
*The line "It's a brand new perspective/literally" plays on two meanings of the word "perspective": the figurative (to "change your perspective" on something, such as an issue or opinion) and the literal (perspective, in this case, aerial perspective). This may be an allusion to the words "A Whole New World" having a figurative and literal meaning.
*Aerial Area Rug was one of the notable songs for "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown Hosted by Kelly Osbourne", but it didn't make it into the final ten. It was beaten by the eventual winner "Everything's Better with Perry" in the first round.
