Austin, TX | He's probably using it as a loose synonym for Dr. Seuss (author of Green Eggs and Ham), who died in 1991.

| Ah! So I guessed right. I thought it was someone else, since Dr. Seuss died in 1991, and this song was released in 2006. So 2006 minus 10 years is 1996. He died before that  |

I'm pretty sure that was the wino I use to see staggering down the alley urinating on my mother's rose bushes in Philly muttering "Sam I Am......Sam I Am"  |

Kenny was pissed that Van Halen fired Sammy Hagar in 1996 and again in 2005. |

SAM I AM was persistent because he got him to try green eggs and ham, and you know what? He liked green egg and ham, and he will in them with a fox, and he'll eat them from a box.

he does not like them in a house,
and does not like them with a mouse. |

I think you have the story.
I believe someone conned Sam into trying them 1st, poisoned his brain, can't speak correctly & is now poisoning Yoda!
