Tattie Bogle,

Proof! Just use the reasoning power that God gave you.

I stopped singing The Last Thing in folk clubs back in the late 60s ( it had been driven into the ground by then...along with Blowin' in the Wind!)

Even you admitted that your grandchildren know the Zoo song!

And, millions and millions of children around the world will have been introduced to the song in the past 50 years.

Have, I ask you, millions and millions of children been introduced to The Last Thing in the past 50 yrs.

Youtube viewing figures must surely be a guide to how well known the song is.

The Zoo song has had millions and millions and millions of more viewing than The Last Thing.

And, as you pointed out there are other songs, not written by Tom, with the title Last Thing on my mind.

And, guess what! They have much larger viewing figures that Tom's song.

I think you simply can't admit that you are wrong.
Not a very healthy trait.
