[pulse8]

Well, here's a question for you guys. What came first? The song or the movie? Did they make the song about the movie or the movie about the song? OR are they not related at all?

 

[unxpurg8d]

They wrote the song FOR the movie, silly.



Mrs. Robinson


We'd like to know
A little bit about you
For our files.
We'd like to help you learn
To help yourself.
Look around you. All you see
Are sympathetic eyes.
Stroll around the grounds
Until you feel at home.

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Hide it in a hiding place
Where no one ever goes.
Put it in you pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret,
Just the Robinsons' affair.
Most of all, you've got to hide it
from the kids.

Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Wo wo wo

God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Sitting on a sofa
On a Sunday afternoon,
Going to the candidates' debate,
Laugh about it,
Shout about it,
When you've got to choose,
Every way you look at it you lose.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Ooo ooo ooo.

What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
"Joltin' Joe has left and gone away"
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey

 

[HansHurt]

Come on ...what more is there to tell


Dustin Hoffman gets seduced by the older woman, in the movie "The Graduate"



&quot;Are you trying to seduce me Mrs. Robinson&quot; <<---Famous quote from movie by DH





What do you want to know....it's not that deep you guys

 

[kvelouria]

Wasn't the Graduate made in the 90's? You realize Simon and Garfunkel were a 60's duo, right? Or maybe I'm missing something here.

Edit: Nevermind, I was thinking about a different movie. All apologies.

 

[HansHurt]

Or maybe I'm missing something here.


Yes you are, The graduate was made in '67

&quot;The sound of silence&quot; was another track in the movie



Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

&quot;Fools&quot; said I, &quot;You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.&quot;
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, &quot;The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.&quot;
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence

 

[warlord]

ahh, now I don't feel as bad about my mistake.

 

[Stark]

Yes, that's right, school's out for summer (school's out forever)...

and now all the kiddies are neffing up the place.

 

[HansHurt]

Oh can't forget the track &quot;Scarborough Fair&quot; from the movie





Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
General order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

I still think Simon &amp; Garfunkel's best song was The Boxer.

Never saw the graduate, but know the basic principle.

And no I have no intention of writing out the lyrics to The Boxer.
