Description

A 26 part series based on song titles.

To log a find you need to list a song starting with the letter Z.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL

You need a photo of something relevant to the song title. For example - for B, the song could be Blowing in the Wind by Bob Dylan. Your photo could be of wind/someone blowing/anything blowing etc. Loose interpretations and humour are welcome. Photos don't have to be recent but do have to be taken by you or of you (not off the net).

Same songs can be logged by different cachers.

The artist(s) does not have to start with the same letter.

And the lucky last in this series and our song is Zipper Pig by X - Cops.
Finding a pig wasn't a problem as Mr Beetle has a collection of pigs in all shapes and sizes, everything except the real thing which is something he has always wanted.
Thanks.

Zero by Hawthorne Heights
Album: Zero (2013)
tn_71521985729.png

No less than eight bands have recorded songs named Zero.

Behind the scenes, in the shadows
In the alleys, with the vagabonds
I will struggle and I will live alone
I will wallow the seas until I'm gone
I've loved and I've lost it all
Zero!
You are the only number
That I know!
The price of being alone
As I get carried away, As I get carried away
Zero!
You are my only hope
Beneath the ground, the red Georgia clay
In the graveyard where the corpses lay
I will remain and I will guide you home
Don't be afraid to leave where you're from
I've loved and I've lost it all
Zero!
You are the only number
That I know!
The price of being alone
As I get carried away, As I get carried away
Zero!
You are my only hope
...
Zero!
You are the only number
That I know!
The price of being alone
As I get carried away, As I get carried away
Zero!
You are my only hope


While we're on the subject of zero, did you know:

Records show that the ancient Greeks seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number. They asked themselves, "if you don't have anything, why do you need a number?", leading to philosophical arguments about the nature and existence of zero.

The earliest text to use a decimal place-value system, including a zero, was the Lokavibhaga, a Jain cosmological text originally composed in Prakrit by a Digambara monk, Sarvanandi in the fifth century AD.

In the Medieval period there were religious arguments about the nature and existence of the number zero. In 13th century Florence, zero and negative numbers were banned because they were considered a thing of the devil.

When he published his equations of general relativity Albert Einstein failed to notice that his theory predicted an expanding universe. Alexander Friedmann, a Russian mathematician, found to his amazement Einstein had made an elementary algebraic error that caused him to overlook a solution to his own equations. Einstein had divided by zero at one point in his calculations - a mathematical impossibility.

Humans are unable to burp in zero gravity environments.

My caching name has changed a couple of times over the years.
NOWorries
noworries+wife
and more recently
n0w0rries
which contains two zeroes.
+Wife has a separate account.
However our one and only pathtag has both of us on it.

Zip-Lock by Lit
Zip-locks, the boon of geocachers everywhere, to keep those logs dry.
Wherever would we be without them?
And if they ban the use of single use plastic will we lose them forever?
But they aren’t single use, not by geocachers, they are used many times, opened and reseated.
Thanks for this beaut series Geono sorry to see it come to an end.

not a lot for this letter

Z is for

"Ziggy Stardust" is a song written by English singer-songwriter David Bowie for his 1972 concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott, he recorded it at Trident Studios in London in November 1971 with his backing band the Spiders from Mars—comprising Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. Lyrically, the song is about Ziggy Stardust, a bisexual alien rock star who acts as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. The character was influenced by English singer Vince Taylor, as well as the Legendary Stardust Cowboy and Kansai Yamamoto. Although Ziggy is introduced earlier on the album, this song is its centrepiece, presenting the rise and fall of the star in a very human-like manner. Musically, it is a glam rock song, like its parent album, and is based around a Ronson guitar riff.

Since its release, "Ziggy Stardust" has received widespread acclaim from music critics, with the majority praising its story, guitar riff and the band's performance. The song has since been included on lists of Bowie's greatest songs, and by some as one of the greatest songs of all time. Rolling Stone ranked it number 282 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010. The track is also one of four of Bowie's songs included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Bowie performed the song frequently on the Ziggy Stardust and 1978 Stage tours, and again during his tours in the 2000s.

The song was covered by the English gothic rock band Bauhaus in 1982; their version peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. While Bowie's original recording was never released as a single, a live version from 1972 was released as a single in France in 1994 to promote the bootleg album Santa Monica '72. The song has since appeared on multiple compilation albums and has been remastered several times, including in 2012 for its 40th anniversary; this remaster was included in the box set Five Years (1969–1973) in 2015.
