Sam (mascot)

Sam the Olympic Eagle was the mascot of the 1984 Summer Olympics which were held in Los Angeles. He is a bald eagle, which is the national bird of the United States, where the games were held. Intended as a patriotic symbol, being named Sam also suggests a kinship with Uncle Sam, another American symbol. He was designed by Disney Legend Bob Moore, an artist for Disney.

He is often confused by guests of Disneyland, and also by those reading documentation about mascot designs for the Olympics, for another Disney mascot named Eagle Sam, host of the former Disneyland attraction America Sings, and designed by animator Marc Davis c. 1973. He shares the name of Sam the Eagle from The Muppet Show, but the design is vastly different. He is still known as Eagle Sam in Japan, where an animated series of the same name ran during 1983, the year preceding the Summer Olympics. Even after the conclusion of the Games, Sam the Eagle is still used to promote a track and field event, the Mt. SAC Relays at Mt. San Antonio College, specifically its "LA84 Youth Days" promotion for youth interested in athletics, run by a charitable group founded during the Olympics.

1, 2, 3 go!
when i was a boy, about 9
i wondered what it would be like to be a spy
i said to my parents:
"you just wait any you will see,
i'll be a part of your secret agency"secret agent man
they tried to discourage me
they said "You'll never achieve any of your dreams"
and i said "Your wrong, you just wait any you will see,
i'll be a part of your secret agency"
secret agent man
secret agent man
and now i find myself in a foreign land
i have my secret agent gun tight in hand
i light a smoke and say "Now you see,
i am a part of your, your secret agency"
secret agent man
they tried to discourage me
they said "You'll never achieve any of your dreams"
and i see i have a very supportive family
but i'll be a part of their secret agency
secret agent man
secret agent man
here we go
