Sam’s Saturday 9: The Last Song

Saturday 9: The Last Song (1972)

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

This is the last Saturday 9 song of 2022.

Thanks for another great year.

1) In this song, the lead singer admits he leaves the light on when he goes to sleep. Do you leave any lights on in your bedroom? Or do you prefer it completely dark?

I prefer as dark as a new moon but unfortunately all the digital stuff glows and it more like a full moon.

2) He sings that he can't stop wondering where his old girlfriend is. Do you know whatever happened to any of your exes?

A few, the ones from my high school that I dated I know their families and I’m friends with one on Facebook.

3) He says this is the last song he'll ever sing to his girl. What's the last song you sang? Where were you when you sang it?

Ha! it was so long ago that I have no idea.

4) Edward Bear was a Canadian group who took their name from Winnie the Pooh. As written by A. A. Milne, Edward Bear was Pooh's "proper" name. Pooh's favorite food was honey. Is there a food you can't get enough of?

Well. Any long time reader of Saturday 9 knows that answer… Lobster! 

5) In 1972, when this song was popular, Disney's Winnie the Pooh was quite a celebrity in his own right, appearing on the cover the 1972 Sears Christmas Wish Book. That year, kids asked Santa for plush Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore. Did you have many plush toys as a child? If yes, do you still have any of them?

A teddy bear. This is another “Ha!” that would have been from 70 years ago! I remember that I did an autopsy on him to get the squeak box out of him.

6) Enough about 1972! Let's look back on 2022. What's something you learned or rediscovered in 2022?

Good question! I don’t know, I learned a lot of new things everyday. I read science articles all the time. The latest is… "Quantum experiments with entangled photons win the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics".

Or how about this,

7) Can you think of a moment in 2022 you'd like to do over?

Not really maybe some more sunsets to photograph.

8) What are you looking forward to most in 2023?

Making it to 2024!

9) Random question: Who received the last email you sent?

To my brother, chastising him for not drinking enough water.
