It’s 13 hours later and….
Oh oh oh ay ay ay 🎶
Lol
Good album eh?!!
The tune just crawls inside and stays there?
It's an earworm! Like others have said, the movie is a must-see! The Graduate was *AMAZING*
Although I love your version: oh oh oh ay ay ay, what they say is Hey six times lol!
In addition to The Graduate movie and music, you should hear America by them. The lyrics tell a simple story. Underrated song. The Boxer if you haven't heard it. Concert in Central Park.
Try The Lemonheads' version from early 1990s
Grammys were run by old people who did not understand or like rock music. By 1968, with rock dominating all the charts, the old fogies had to relent and start letting rock performers be nominated and the crooner era of the Grammys was officially over. What was surprising was that Mrs. Robinson beat the Beatles Hey Jude, but the softer Mrs. Robinson was probably more palatable to the older members.
That changed in '67 with S Peppers it was practically impossible not to give them that prize!
You need to watch the movie, "The Graduate". You'll have a completely different feeling about the song once you have seen Anne Bancroft's performance as Mrs. Robinson. Great performances by both Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman.
It is confirmed that Mrs. Robinson was the first rock single Grammy for Record of the Year.
Advice to Dustin Hoffman: "Just one word -- plastics." You must watch "The Graduate" and meet Mrs. Robinson yourself. This was a great movie, and this was a great song with great vocals and great instrumental talent. I saw it in its first run back in the 60s, and Wow, it was a hit. I still smile when I remember Mrs. Robinson taking off her shoes ....
...naw...it was the stockings...
LOL, totally agree...but for some reason that line made me think of, "Ladies & Gentlemen of the class of '99 -- wear sunscreen."
@@sonjarussell7332 Yes, I know. Notice my ellipses rather than a period -- means "more to follow". I didn't want to spoil it for SalvoG.
These guys elevated folk music to a new level. Groovy. Funky. Thoughtful. Funny. Sensitive. Profound. S&G were true artists.
Paul Simon is a genius ..... And Garfunkel voice ................................. !!!!!
They really don’t miss, do they. Deep cut "The Only Living Boy in New York" was the B-side to their "Cecilia" (both from the Bridge Over Troubled Water album - Garfunkel left town because he got a part in a movie Paul wrote the appropriately titled song.
My favorite of theirs!
Cecilia is my favorite! Rollicking Rock tune, IMHO.
I sang this song with my mother while driving through the badlands on a cross-country road trip in 1968. Best memory of my youth!
"The Boxer" by S&G is an absolute masterpiece. If you haven't done that one yet, definitely hit it up!
I was going to suggest the same. My favorite S&G song. ❤
Looks like he did "The Boxer" 6 months ago.
Love it! Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me! Great line from The Graduate from a very young Dustin Hoffman.
There was a change to UK cinema ratings in 1970 just after the Graduate came out. It would have been X rated ( adults =18+ only) but the new AA ratings let 14 year olds in to see it and of course we went the first chance we got.
In those days it took literally years for new released films to arrive in our small town's picture house. Probably some of it went over our early teenage heads but it was an enjoyable film and the soundtrack was great.
This song makes more sense if you've seen the movie, "The Graduate". It wasn't the best movie ever, but this song helped give it a lift.
Yes, the movie puts a lot in context.
It was an awesome defining film … c’mon
Yeah Godfather was meh, too
Great movie
@@FLE22P nah. It wasn't Aliens, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Terminator, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind by a long shot.
But it was ok.
😇
It would really help you if you looked into the plot of the movie "The Graduate". Mrs. Robinson seduced recently graduated young man played by Dustin Hoffman. She was quite the cougar.
And she told her daughter to break up their budding romance - "most of all you've got to keep it from the kids" takes on a very sarcastic tone when you know that.
@dorenandsara Hence the play on words "Heaven holds a place for those who pray/prey".
Love this song! I've always thought it was about the loss of the nation's innocence in the late 60s--a 50s housewife in rehab, no good political leadership and an absence of heroes to look up to. There was a cover of it by the Lemonheads in the 90s (?) but they stayed pretty true to the original sound.
Salvo you should, if you haven't yet, check out these guy's performance in Central Park in New York. It's incredible!! Thx Salvo, really enjoy your reactions. And i LOVE how they mention the Lord and Savior in this song, it makes me smile. God bless everyone who reads this!
They weren’t a duo for long but they definitely created great music when when they were together
You really should watch the movie. The way they used the music to move the story was perfect.
I was a preteen when this came out. My bestie & I watched The Graduate - not sure how we got away with that. Our parents would NOT have approved! Lol! I guess they just didn't know. They were pretty clueless to what movies & music was out. We saw lots of movies that we were way too young to see. Ha! Rocky Horror, The Wall, Monty Python, Tommy, etc. And we always watched Saturday Night Live (the first-& best group!) & bought comedy albums by Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, etc. BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE!!! 😂
This was a giant hit when I was in college (yes, I'm that old). As was the movie. The movie is probably dated now, but I think it's worth a watch. It was one of Dustin Hoffman's first big roles.
Paul Simon is a master songsmith. His harmonies and instrumental blends are the stuff of legends. And when these two harmonize, it's...*chef's kiss*
I love these two, takes me back more years than I care to mention. Avi Kaplan was bought up with this music which makes sense of his last album. They are amazing, thank you for reacting
FYI: The Lemonheads did a harder rock cover of this song.
Simon & Garfunkel won seven Grammy Awards-plus four Grammy Hall of Fame Awards-and in 1990 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Richie Unterberger described them as "the most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960s" and one of the most popular artists from the decade. They are among the best-selling music artists, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide. They were ranked 40th on Rolling Stone's 2010 list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" and third on its list of the greatest duos.
You should try "Cecilia". Awesome song from them that will definitely stay in your head.
such an infectious song, can't help singing along - from the first time hearing it. The Graduate was nominated for 7 academy awards, winning the Best Director Oscar. Ann Bancroft, Mel Brook's wife) played Mrs. Robinson.
"Scarborough Fair/Canticle"
Every song by Simon and Garfunkel is a work of art. You should review the movie 'The Graduate'. It is funny, shocking (well for the '60s) with great acting and story line. This song is more than a little ironic. I never realized this album was a life cycle story and a 'concept album'. (Have you checked out the Genesis concept album 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' yet?)
My parents had a greatest hits on vinyl when I was a kid. I listened to it a lot! Awesome stuff. I was born in ‘68. These two sing beautifully, amazing harmonies!
Great reaction, glad yo are enjoying their music!❤❤
They don't. the legendary Simon & Garfunkel. Very much ear candy!!!
The movie The Graduate got 7 Oscar Nominations including best picture….and won for best director
The Graduate is an iconic movie and is well worth a watch.
Whilst I'm here, Polyphonic does an amazing video about the S&G classic Scarborough Fair. That's well worth a watch too.
When I was younger I listen to this song a lot. My folk like Simon and Garfunkel. Good one by them. They are talent guys. Listen to some Paul Simon's solo work. Did one in the 80's I like,. Call Me Al. So fun! See the video too has Chevy Chase in it.
You have to see the movie The Graduate. You will appreciate the sarcasm of the song. "Scarborough Fair" is another wonderful song thats in the movie and I think you will love it too.
Do you ever play these back to see how you react when you try to sing along to a song you've never heard before? They are real funny
Watch the movie then you'll understand why the song was so popular...lol
The Lemonheads did a rocking version of this song
My favorite song of all time! I feel they are the best duo of all time, and Paul Simon is the greatest songwriter of all time. If you want a heavy version of this song listen to the lemonheads version, its solid.
I think that the visuals from the movie added to the popularity of this track.
Probably my favorite of their's. Watch the Graduate. Great movie.
Bookends is a great album, the very short song old friends is so good.
Awesome song
Wow! Now I really feel old…seriously, never heard of The Graduate or Mrs. Robinson? The song far outshined the movie.
This is the one S&G song that gives off strong Beatles vibes.
Sch a masterful song! ✌
You should check out the movie. You'll understand the song more.
The Beatles won in 68 for song of the year which is different than record of the year. Record of the year in 59 was "Mack the Knife" which Is sort of Rock but Wikipedia doesn't think so.
You need to watch their Central Park concert.
I love it when sing along a little 😃
As much as I love Simon & Garfunkel’s Mrs Robinson… I think I like the Lemonhead’s version just a little bit better…. Nice reaction Sal!
Agree with that lol. Doubt he's ever heard of the Lemonheads tho😮🤔🤟
As stated below, the Lemonheads version is really good.
There's an excellent punk version of this song by Pennywise, you should definitely give it a listen! Great video btw ❤
Did you recognize the sarcasm? That’s my favorite part, of course! See the movie!!
You had to be there
There’s a reason they use to call them the “Granny” awards. First rock song to win…Now you know. Sinatra hated rock music so much he left his label and started a new one. To give the other side a fair shake, there were a lot fewer Grammy awards back in those days. Think about all the great rock records especially in 1967 that didn’t win! However the Beatles did win Album of the Year in 1967. The only time they ever won that award.
Good stuff eh what? Your list of next-ones-to-do has to include Sounds of Silence & Scarborough Fair.
The Lemonheads (alt rock/grunge) might provide something close to the metal vibe you mentioned lol - They did a cover in the early 90s. Love it.
You really can't go wrong with Simon and Garfunkle.. Many greats like CECILIA, I AM A ROCK, etc. Absolutely so not miss SCARBOROUGH FAIR. So unique. It is actually 2 songs which the guys each sing one of the songs at the same time, lines alternating. It is to show the contrast, one song is about a lost love that he wants to find again, the other is about the horrors of war.
The Lemonheads did a cover of this that you might like.
Please listen to "sound of silence" you'll love it. Look up the article that explains the lyric "hello darkness my old friend"
Then listen to Disturbed's version. I read Simon and Garfunkel's version is a warning, Disturbed version is anger at the fact the warning was ignored. I don't know, but I like that thought
The Lemonheads do a pretty rocked up version of this song.
The Lemonheads did a "punky" cover of it in the early 90s
There was a good movie back in the day called the Graduate.
I'm not going to trawl through the preceding 137 comments to see whether anyone else has mentioned this, but THE LEMONHEADS did a GREAT ROCK VERSION of MRS ROBINSON which made the Top 20 in the UK, the US, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand etc.
You need to check the movie out. Really goes well with it✌️
Misheard lyric from my childhood: "CheesIts" love you more than you will know.
You really need to see the movie. S & G did at least 4 or 5 songs for the soundtrack. Each one better and more catchy than the last. Just wait till you hear 'Scarborough Fair'!
I think America is one underrated song of theirs
The movie will explain all your questions.
The song was originally supposed to be "Mrs. Roosevelt" and be about Eleanor Roosevelt. But Mike Nichols wanted Simon to do the music for his film, "The Graduate" which had Mrs. Robinson as a main character, and this was the only song he had available at that point. Nichols had him change it. And I could have sworn I remembered Joe DiMaggio trying to sue over the use of his name, but I must have imagined that -- all I can find now is that Simon later claimed he wasn't even a Joe DiMaggio fan, as DiMaggio was his father's generation, and he really wanted to use Mickey Mantle, but it didn't have the right number of syllables. When he met DiMaggio and Joe wanted to know why the song asked where he had gone -- he was doing commercials for Mr. Coffee at that time, and said to Simon, "I'm right here!" -- Simon explained he was holding him up as an example of past heroes, which the country was sorely lacking at that point.
Now that you're asking "Who is Eleanor Roosevelt?" "Who is Mike Nichols?" "Who is Joe DiMaggio?" and "Who is Mickey Mantle?" I invite you to use Google.
Next S&G to check out: "I Am A Rock" or "Homeward Bound"!
Should definitely check out the lemonheads version of this song. It's got a sharper edge to it.
For a more rock version check out the cover by The Lemonheads.
Song makes sense if you see the movie The Graduate.
The 'Lemonheads' have a great cut of this tune lol, faster tempo🤟😏
Wrecking Crew!
There is a hardcore version by the Lemonheads!😊
Such a happy sounding song for a movie with such a scandalous plot lol
You do excellent reactions. Do you have training or education in Music?
The Lemonheads do a great version of this!!
The Lemonheads do a pop punk-style cover of this song.
You should watch the movie The Graduate and then listen to this song again! It’s really not a happy song.
Try the Lemonheads version
See the movie Carnival knowledge as far as Art Garfunkel, Jack Nicholson Ann Margret Cnndice Bergen Rita Moreno and Carol Kane
Not necessarily for a video but check out The Lemonheads version of this song.😎👍
I wanted to go see it in cinema, had to go with my best friend. Boyfriend refused.
Please check out led zeppelin dazed and confused live at Madison Square garden the 10 min footage is on yt and you'll love Jimmy pages guitar solo
Watch the film for context
For an entirely different sound, you should listen to the live recording of For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her: ua-cam.com/video/kOgmYFTZ2iU/v-deo.html Stunningly beautiful!
Dustin Hoffman to Ann Bancroft in The Graduate: "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?"
Ah, so many songs, so little time... ; )
I can't believe I'm pulling this bunny. But pretty sure band lemon heads did mess wit this song
You have got to see the movie The Graduate to really get this song. It is about a college girl who brings her new boyfriend home for the holidays to meet her parents only to have him get seduced by her mom.
No. They were introduced by the parents.
@@aaronbredon2948 OK, it's been a minute since I saw that movie. Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft) seducing a very young Dustin Hoffman was the point
Yes...plastics lol
The Lemonheads! ua-cam.com/video/zvMFm5nKeUc/v-deo.html
Not surprising that the Grammy's waited almost 2 decades to award Record of the Year to a Rock song. They were never at the forefront of music, despite being devoted to music. It took forever for them to award the first Record of the Year to a Rap/ Hip Hop song "This Is America" in 2019. New Wave, the sound of the 80s, barely had a song nominated and never had a song awarded Record of the Year.
Paul Simon's "Graceland" winning Record of the Year in 1988 was a travesty. It peaked at #81 on the charts! Nevertheless, it beat U2's "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" that year.
It took the Academy Awards decades before it awarded Best Picture to a Horror (1991), Fantasy (2003), Sci Fi (2022) movie.
Plastics😄😄😄
Mrs. Robinson was played by Anne Bancroft. The character seduces her daughter's boyfriend, played by Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman decides he likes the daughter better and tries to win her back. It's a lot of fun. Famous ambiguous ending. As for hard rock, yeah, this was about as hard as Simon got at this time. For his first solo record, he brought in some reggae and other more interesting sonic elements.
Here is the Mrs Robinson re-make version you wanted...a harder edge... ua-cam.com/video/zvMFm5nKeUc/v-deo.html
Ha! I had forgotten all about this version. Thanks for posting.
The song is about a women who has an affair with her daughter boyfriend
A woman who has an affair with a man who later becomes her daughter's boyfriend.
Probably my least favorite S&G song. Probably because 1) I’ve heard it waaay too many times snd 2) it was written specifically for the movie so it didn’t have the same feel to me of a song that would normally be on an album of theirs. The lyrics weren’t as poetic or powerful as usual. I mean….Coo-Coo Catchoo? Please.
