Carly Simon wrote this song when she was just 16 years old about Cat Stevens while she was waiting for him to pick her up for their first date. As time ticked by, Simon vented her frustration by writing the song "Anticipation" on her guitar. The song was revived in a series of Heinz ketchup commercials in the late 1970s, including one starring a young Corey Feldman. The song played off of Heinz's positioning as the ketchup "so thick and rich" you have to wait for it to come out of the bottle. For this reason, many people think of this song as "The Ketchup Song."
