"Above the Clouds"

I listened to A New World Record yester-day and noticed a couple small features in "Above the Clouds," both in the line "You gotta climb it to the top."  The phrase generally ascends (Bb Bb C D D Eb F F Eb D), giving a sense of "climb[ing]... to the top," and "top" is sung to the highest note (F), which matches its meaning.
