Here comes that song

Despite its highly debatable opening line, "Seattle" made it to No. 38 for Perry Como in 1969. The version sung in the show was performed by — and dig the '60s moniker, man — The New Establishment. Bobby Sherman ("Jeremy") also recorded a version. (Northwesterners took great umbrage to the reference to "pine trees," seeing as how this region is largely populated with firs and cedars.)

Here are the lyrics from the song, composed by Hugh Montenegro, Ernie Sheldon and Jack Keller. We dare you to get it out of your head:

The bluest skies you've ever seen in Seattle

And the hills the greenest green in Seattle

Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild

Full of hopes and full of fears

Full of laughter. Full of tears.

Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle,

In Seattle

When it's time to leave your home and your loved ones

An' you pray that you will find someone warm an' sweet an' kind

But you're not sure what's waiting there for you!

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle

And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle

Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild

Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears

Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle ... in Seattle!

When you find your own true love, you will know it

By her smile, by the look in her eye

Scent of pine trees in the air, never knew a day so fair

It makes you feel so proud that you could cry!

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle

And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle

Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild

Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears

Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle ... in Seattle!

In Seattle ... in Seattle ... in Seattle!
