"...originally that song was called "Strange Voyage", and after I left theband, they changed the name to "S.A.T.O." and all that meant was Sharon AdrianThelma Ozzy. Because Sharon at the time had a boyfriend called Adrian, andOzzy's current wife at the time was Thelma. People were trying to figure out,'Oh, it stands for Sail Across the Ocean' and all sorts of things, but it justmeant that."
