Показать описание

It hit # 1 in the U.S., when released as a single in 1968, for their second chart-topping hit after "The Sound of Silence". Written by Paul Simon. An early version of the song appeared in the motion picture The Graduate (1967) and its subsequent soundtrack, while the complete song debuted on their album Bookends (1968). The song earned the duo a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1969.
"It's a song about times past -- about Mrs. Roosevelt and Joe DiMaggio and stuff." Simon says, "It's now about Mrs. Robinson, not Mrs. Roosevelt." director Mike Nichols says. During an appearance on Dick Cavett's television show, Simon told the story of how the song was originally called "Mrs. Roosevelt", to which Cavett quipped: "That would have changed the plot of the movie."
