Isn't it a title of an old song in the 70s?

Yes. I have always loved that song, but didn't understand why he named it The Year of the Cat, since there is no cat on the Chinese zodiac. When I moved to Vietnam I got the answer. Vietnam doesn't have the rabbit; the cat takes it's place. What's the song about, other than a year? Al Stewart won't say. Some speculate it's about heroine addiction, while others say it's about a friend dying. I just know it's a great song, regardless of the hidden meaning.

That's a good one. A lot of the sponsors weren't around either.
