The Last Song

Saturday 9: The Last Song (1972)

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 have a Wallflower night light plug in from Bath and Body Works that lights up my room a bit.  I need a little light to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

 

2) He sings that he can't stop wondering where his old girlfriend is. Do you know whatever happened to any of your exes?  I am friends on facebook with a couple of boyfriends from high school.

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?  I was singing in my car to Prince's Raspberry Beret while taking Josh to work this week.

 

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?  Whatever I am in the mood for at the time.  I do not have one specific food I keep on hand at all times.  I do like cookies in general.

 
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?  I did have plush toys as a child.  I do not have them at my house, but they may be at my parent's house.  I have an Eeyore here at my house somewhere from a trip to Disney World many years ago.

6) Enough about 1972! Let's look back on 2022. What's something you learned or rediscovered in 2022?  This year at school I went through training in social emotional curriculum, which I am implementing in my classroom now.  It uses puppets and the kids love it.

7) Can you think of a moment in 2022 you'd like to do over?  not really.

8) What are you looking forward to most in 2023?  Maybe moving into my new classroom when the building gets finished.  I am hoping we will get to move in in 2023 anyway.

9) Random question: Who received the last email you sent?  My co-worker Hillary.
