Super Hits of The 70s: Have A Nice Day, Vol. 10

I'm picturing now a whole melodramatic scenario where he leaves the light on all night, staring into space with his turntable on automatic replay playing "Last Song" over and over so loudly he can't hear her banging on the door.

The lukewarm production and the sentimental backstory somehow still have not ruined this childhood favorite for me. I also enjoyed its appearance in the Canadian film Weirdos - the main character has an Edward Bear poster in his bedroom! He is also obsessed with Andy Warhol, who keeps showing up throughout the picture to give him advice. #onethread

Not to be confused with the Canadian novel The Bear, by Marian Engel.

Was the bear's name Edward?

Ha, don’t think so.

I was at grad school with a woman who had obtained rights to film Bear but it doesn't look like that ever came to completion.

Oh right, no “The.” Maybe I should put it on my other thread.

It's just called Bear? I don't think I've ever heard . . . oh, wait, is this the one about the woman who has sex with a bear?

Couldn’t tell you, haven’t read it.

The Skylark song is the only one I didn't immediately recognize but I sat with it for two seconds and remembered that it's the 'let her cryyyyyy for she's a lady' song. I may have listened to this series way too much.

Same for me except I haven’t tried to listen to it yet

Listening now. Still don’t recognize it.

I don't know how many times I saw The Neville Brothers over the years, 10 or 15 maybe, and Aaron pretty much always sang "Wildflower." He must have had a thing for that song.
