Hooper's Store

Mr. Hooper's Store is a fictional business and meeting-place on the television show Sesame Street. Its owners have been Mr. Hooper, David, Mr. Handford, and Alan; these managers have been assisted by Tom, Cookie Monster, Bert, Linda, Petey, Gina, Carlo, Natalie, Gabi, and Chris at times.

Overview

The fictional store was said to be founded by Mr. Harold Hooper in 1951 as a general store. The food menu was extensive and suited to the different characters that lived on Sesame Street, a fictional Manhattan street. Along with traditional American diner-type food, the store sold a wide range of goods from dry goods to soap dishes and stranger goods such as empty cigar boxes (in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street) and birdseed milkshakes for Big Bird.

Early years

During the initial seasons, until Will Lee's death, the store was run by Mr. Hooper.

During Season 3 (1971), Larry Block played Tom, a man who worked at Hooper's. Cookie Monster worked at the store in a few episodes (though his large appetite tended to cause problems in a store that sells food).

Natalie (Bruno Mars song)

"Natalie" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars from his second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox. The song was written and produced by The Smeezingtons, Paul Epworth and Benny Blanco.

Background

The song is about a gold digger whose name is "Natalie", in the lyrical content, it's revealed that she stole Mars' money and ran away with it, while Mars is plotting a murderous revenge against her.

"Everyone's asking me who this Natalie woman is", Mars said in his MTV First Interview. "and, you know, as a song-writer I don't know how it works, it started off, you know, a girl stole my watch, and then this girl turns into this Natalie and I take it to the extreme, I feel like... It's gotta be from somewhere... I wrote the shit", he added "We all been there once or twice".

After Mars been in studio with Benny Blanco and Paul Epworth, they came up with a song. Blanco said: "I got a really cool song with him. Me and Paul [Epworth] just got together and Bruno wrote an amazing song on top of it. It kind of all came together." Discussing the song, Blanco states, "It's like some throwback Nina Simone type shit, like 'Sinnerman'.".
