LONDON, April 17 (UPI) -- A British Airways passenger who was dissatisfied with the service at London's Heathrow Airport has created a song mocking the hub's troubled Terminal 5.

Tim Soong, who said his luggage was lost by British Airways at the airport just prior to his November 2006 wedding -- leaving him and his bride-to-be without their wedding clothes -- said the song he wrote mocking the recently opened and notoriously troubled British Airways terminal has been getting played on London radio stations, and the accompanying video has amassed a large following on YouTube, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

"The news ain't good. I'm stuck in a queue. After 15 hours, it still hasn't moved. They lost all my bags. They lost my wife too," Soong sings in "The Terminal 5 Song." "I asked an official what's going on but she didn't seem to know exactly what's wrong -- something about robots and a luggage machine. And did I know this building was opened by the queen? Well that's really interesting but I should be on holiday in Italy -- Vespas, ciao and fettucine. I'm surrounded by airport insanity."
