Why does this song fit so well for an ending, it’s like the closing of a door. Even before Scorsese used it in Wolf of Wall Street, this song always evoked that feeling.
Great call! I think it’s the last two chords of the chorus (and song before the outro) A Minor to E minor that really pulls your heartstrings & feel like a death (door closing ) of the 60’s etc 😮… it’s a heavy ending to a joyous chorus G maj E major g major e major c major d major )
I've been listening to music for about 55 years and everything from the 60's on and appreciate the evolution of rock n roll. I really enjoy the 90's rock, all of it, indie, underground, alternative etc..great sounds!! Thanks to all the artists for all of that great music!
when this came out in 1993, it had been about 25 years since the original. It's now been about 25 years since this cover. The film and the cover are both classics.

is a track about appreciating someone who has been significant in your life. It refers to the iconic character of Mrs. Robinson, played by Anne Bancroft in the 1967 film 'The Graduate'. The song pays homage to her character, and acknowledges the impact she has had on modern culture. The lyrics highlight the admiration Mrs Robinson has received and suggest that she is respected and cherished long after her time in the movie. The song also makes reference to Joe DiMaggio, a famous American baseball player, who is considered a cultural icon in the United States. The song is ultimately about reflecting on the contributions of someone who has made a lasting impact and showing appreciation for that person.
@@WilDBeestMF I did not know the Lemonheads are famous or this remake for that matter. I wonder what the Ramones would have done with this tune? I mean really, it is a good song. But Simon and Garfunkel did many others that I would favor over it.
Chickens roost at night. Free range chickens will peck and scratch for bits of food during the day. But, as dusk begins to fall, those chickens will always, always come back to their roosts for safety. You can create problems and bullshit, but it will always come back to bite you in the butt. .. Kinda like that... It's what is known as a "truism".
14 year old hearing for 1st time in 90's couldn't figure out why song sounded so familiar i knew i loved it but felt more than just that. Later find that unaware to me i'd been listening to it since a baby an account of my mum playing Simon & Garfunkel lol .Don't know if the LEMON HEADS were a bigger deal in America but here in England this is basically their 1 hit wonder. Always considered this version on par with S&G version. If a band can do S&G cover without sounding like a pale imitation they've gotta have talent. What ever happened to The Lemon Heads ??
They didn't release this as a single in the UK as they didn't want to get that one hit wonder status on a cover version. What else can I say apart from "It's a shame about Ray".
Mrs Robinson is from the album “Bookends” by Simon & Garfunkel (S & G). I was just a wee lad of 4 when it was released, I lived near Chicago, Illinois in a town called Naperville. My older brothers had all kinds of albums strewn about the house, but by far my favorite was Bookends. I listened to it over and over, as a young lad is wont to do, and there is one particular thing that I always remembered from that album, and I will share it with you today. In the single “Voices of old people,” S & G apparently went into a nursing home and recorded some old people talking - I’m not sure if it was with or without their knowledge of being recorded, but I would guess they did not know - and there is one particular moment when some old lady clears her throat in a way only the old can, and then she blurts out “God forgive me, but an old person without money is pathetic.” I always remembered that.
That's kinda the idea, have covers that sound different enough from the original to be entertaining. Otherwise, you're just a jukebox. Covers like DEVO's early 1975 take on Secret Agent Man, Cardiacs' cover of Suzannah's Still Alive, and the Minutemen cover of Ain't Talkin' Bout Love.
As a teenager (which wasn't that long ago) I used to play this song over and over again just so I could jump on the couch and run around the living room like a maniac
This song was originally written for Mrs. Roosevelt, First Lady to the President that lifted America out of the Depression, through WWII and into the economic boom, baby boom '50's... It was meant as a nostalgic song about a more innocent, honest time... A church-going time... A more hopeful time... America had lost its way and was looking back...

I was looking for this version of the song for very longtime, but i didn't remember the name of the band, so thank you very much 4 posting!! Liz, from Rome, Italy
From Wikipedia: The Lemonheads recorded a punk-inflected cover version of this song that made No. 19 in December 1992. The band's frontman, Evan Dando, later told American Songwriter that he "hated" the song as well as its author, and that its recording was only to promote a 25th anniversary home video release of The Graduate. He noted that Simon greatly disliked the cover, but Art Garfunkel was more favorable toward it.[32] Although not originally included on The Lemonheads' album It's A Shame About Ray, the album was re-released with the cover of "Mrs. Robinson" included after the single's chart success.[33] Their version was also featured at the end of the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.
@@joemiller947 if you like mediocrity, that is your choice. The Lemon head's version is a knock off and lacks intelligence or sophistication. If you want a good ball version that was designed that way purposely by the Lemonheads, then that is alright. But to say this is the best version is somewhat comedic.
love this song!! I wanna be Mrs Robinson!! Love the movie as well. What a classic. Dustin Hoffman is awesome in it. So funny when he has her pinned against the wall kissing her & when he unlatches she lets out her smoke!!

From Wikipedia:
The Lemonheads recorded a punk-inflected cover version of this song that made No. 19 in December 1992. The band's frontman, Evan Dando, later told American Songwriter that he "hated" the song as well as its author, and that its recording was only to promote a 25th anniversary home video release of The Graduate. He noted that Simon greatly disliked the cover, but Art Garfunkel was more favorable toward it.[32] Although not originally included on The Lemonheads' album It's A Shame About Ray, the album was re-released with the cover of "Mrs. Robinson" included after the single's chart success.[33] Their version was also featured at the end of the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.

one of the best covers out there of any song
Um, not even close. But it is a punk rock style that works o. k. but not great.
@@rickmerritt128 It seems you're not quite at a level of maturity needed to appreciate it.
@@joemiller947 sorry Joe. But you are bitter because the older music is superior.
@@rickmerritt128 Bitter in comparison to the sweet taste of this glorious cover I suppose, varnished in my vast maturity.
@@joemiller947 if you like mediocrity, that is your choice. The Lemon head's version is a knock off and lacks intelligence or sophistication. If you want a good ball version that was designed that way purposely by the Lemonheads, then that is alright. But to say this is the best version is somewhat comedic.
Congratulations to Leonardo DiCaprio on his #GoldenGlobes win for Best Actor in a Comedy!
Hardangelfan what the fuck
Logan Carpenter lmao ur reply though
So you thought Wolf of Wall Street was funny.?
Clearly a dark comedy... Come on... The Lemmons and the Golf Club Scene? Comedy gold!
Hardangelfan I
Found it!!!After all these years I still think it`s great.
I ALWAYS Loved this version..I haven't seen The Graduate, after all these years...I THINK it is time!
love this song!! I wanna be Mrs Robinson!!
Love the movie as well. What a classic. Dustin Hoffman is awesome in it. So funny when he has her pinned against the wall kissing her & when he unlatches she lets out her smoke!!
One of my favourite songs of all time. CLASS!
This song totally rocks out! I wish they'd play it at sober dances!
I remember this lol...shows I'm old lol
The wonderful 90s that will never come back...
