"S.A.T.O." is the 7th song on Ozzy Osbourne's second solo album, "Diary of a Madman (album)". There's an argument on the meaning of the initials among fans, yet according to Bob Daisley, S.A.T.O. stands for Sharon Adrian Thelma Osbourne. This is his explanation:

"...originally that song was called "Strange Voyage", and after I left the band, the changed the name to "S.A.T.O." and all that meant was Sharon Adrian Thelma Ozzy. Because Sharon at the time had a boyfriend called Adrian, and Ozzy's current wife at the time was Thelma. People were trying to figure out, 'Oh, it stands for Sail Across the Ocean' and all sorts of things, but it just meant that."
