Nog enkele uren en dan is 2007 definitief geschiedenis. Na een jaaroverzicht van 2008 mag een terugblik op 2007 toch eigenlijk ook niet ontbreken. Omdat het behalve de laatste dag van het jaar ook de laatste dag van de Top 2000 is: een turbulent jaar in 25 tekstfragmenten. Wie ze allemaal zonder opzoeken weet thuis te brengen is een koning:2007
1. 'There are places I'll remember, all my life, though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain'
2. 'I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's the day. The girl that's driving me mad, is going away'
3. 'I've been first and last, look at how the time goes past, but I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you.'
4. 'All of my life, I call yesterday, the spicks and the specks of my life've gone away'
5. 'I've got so much more to think about: deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out'
6. 'But there never seems to be enough time, to do the things you want to do, once you find them'
7. 'I read the news today, oh boy...'
8. 'In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria'
9. '"Fools," said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows"'
10. 'In a New York minute, everything can change'
11. 'Don't criticize what you can't understand ... Your old road is rapidly aging'
12. 'When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, then they expect you to pick a career, when you can't really function you're so full of fear'
13. 'Summertime, and the living is easy'
14. 'Sun comes down with a burning glow, mingles my sweat with the earth below'
15. 'Aah, look at all the lonely people'
16. 'Oh how I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lonely souls swimming in a fish bowl'
17. 'A smile relieves a heart that grieves, remember what I said: I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend'
18. 'And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done. Together, a-while our hearts were young'
19. 'Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever. Never seeing no one, nice again, like you, mama'
20. 'I have my books, and my poetry to protect me. I am shielded in my armor, safe within my room'
21. 'Well, this is my life of sadness, this is the life I live. This is my life of gladness, this is the life I live'
22. 'I've seen all good people, turning their heads each day'
23. 'Oh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now'
24. 'I am just a dreamer, and you are just a dream'
En als klap op de vuurpijl één van de mooiste zinnen uit de wereldliteratuur:
25. 'Het is alles triest,' dacht hij, 'heel triest.'
Bedankt voor uw aandacht; een mooie jaarwisseling en een gelukkig 2008!

2007 loopt op zijn eind en in alle media worden de bekende jaaroverzichten weer gepubliceerd. De belangrijkste nieuwsgebeurtenissen, overledenen, sportprestaties e.d. van 2007 passeren nog eens de revue. Nóg zo'n jaaroverzicht 2007 zou doodsaai zijn. Zoggel wijkt daarom af van de gevestigde media en presenteert het Jaaroverzicht 2008.
