the song “Mrs. Robinson” was actually written in reference to Eleanor Roosevelt, who served as First Lady of the United States for a record 12 years (1933-1945). She was First Lady throughout major events such as the Great Depression and World War II - and was highly-regarded for her contributions to the Presidency. In fact the song was originally entitled “Mrs. Roosevelt”, with Simon & Garfunkel changing the name to “Mrs. Robinson” in order to make it applicable to the movie it was featured in, The Graduate (1967). As such, the character featured in the song and the one portrayed in the movie have little, if anything, in common.

I don't know that the characters of the song and the movie have as little in common as all that. The last verse and chorus speak to an empty suburban existence and a longing for an idealized past. The middle verse is about an unmentionable secret, which could easily be interpreted as her affair with her friends' son. And the first verse implies her first day in some sort of mental hospital, which I infer could've been the result of a nervous breakdown following the events of the film. The song, for me, paints the internal life of Mrs. Robinson, her private thoughts, fears, and regrets which we're not privy to in the film.

"A Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song that needs to be heard. And, yes, most of the duo's material is acoustic, though not always as mellow as this.

Way back when, the 2 most discussed questions musically were A) when are the Beatles getting back together and B) when is Simon and Garfunkle getting back together. We keep telling you that we didn't really hear genres back then. Most radio stations play a variety of music. It had show tunes, swing, jazz, opera, polka, country and gospel all during the day.

It’s Folk Rock. The Boxer is awesome. “I am just a poor boy though my story is seldom told”. I listened to the vinyl records so much in my teens that when I hear a song from them I automatically go to the next on the record in my mind.

This song was written for the movie “The Graduate”.....the meaning of this song has been highly debated for years. It was said that the song represents the dilemmas society, as a whole, was living in the late 60’s. You guys should watch the movie. Simon and Garfunkel were one of the best selling music groups of the the 60’s. Personally, I thinks that’s debatable.....I believe it had to a lot longer than that. Some of their biggest songs were “The Sound of Slilence” of course “Mrs. Robinson” “ The Boxer” and the one I considered to be one of the greatest songs ever written. “Bridge over Troubled Water.”

Here’s another Three Dog Night recommendation that I’m sure you’ll both like. The song’s called Easy To Be Hard. You guys are doing a great job!

Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water, a song you need to hear, trust me.

Old friends is a personal favorite of mine such a simple beautiful poignant evocative song a Simon and Garfunkel masterpiece

The reason you guys are successful is that you both are humble and honest.

They were considered Folk Rock..so much talent!

Their harmony is unbelievable. Y'all pick gems! 💜💜

This is from the movie, The Graduate. Mrs. Robinson has an affair with a young student played by Dustin Hoffman. It's a classic. I don't really equate this song to the context of the movie. They might have written this, and updated it with the name of Mrs. Robinson for the movie. The lyrics sound like an elderly woman going to a care home or mental facility.

I always interpreted it as a epilogue to the movie- for instance, in the lee of the affair, Mrs. Robinson has a mental breakdown and is institutionalized.

Mrs. Robertson was in a scadalalistic affair in The Graduate. She was an equivalent to today's Cougar!!!

I always thought that she was either in rehab or a mental institution.

@@bethcrumpton476 Yes. Just being checked into a mental institution.

Some of their most iconic: Bridge Over Troubled Waters, I Am a Rock, The Boxer, The Sound of Silence, Homeward Bound

Their names are Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel... What's going on? You're learning to appreciate the broad spectrum of awesome music... Cheers!

This is one of the songs from the soundtrack of a generation... the generation that ya'll love. They used it in the full soundtrack they did for a seminal movie of that generation, The Graduate.

Simon and Garfunkel= masters

Paul Simon wrote the songs. Art Terrible has an amazing high voice. Don't think the two ever sang a bad song. And the variety was big. As a guitarist the first sing I learned was bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice." The second sing I learned was "the boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel.

Art Garfunkel's voice is so ethereal 🙌

Still gota say I really think you will like Al Stewart "Year of the cat".

Absolutely!

Welcome to the world of Art Garfunkel & Paul Simon two of the greatest folk male voices that the music industry has ever seen or created. Harmony geniuses of the 60 & 70 era that "BALLADS" from life experiences of love, drama & even sadness. Thank you BOTH for playing music of my life time that I still listen today & just very happy & proud that you wonderful folks have this musical channel to reflect & inspire!

The song is about Mrs. Robinson's will...once you know and listen to the lyrics, you won't hear anything else. Lol The have so many amazing songs. All great.

Coocookachoo!

This song was originally about Eleanor Roosevelt, but was then re-written to be the theme song for "The Graduate" (which is about Dustin Hoffman having an affair with his parents' friend, Mrs. Robinson)

Paul SIMON and Art Garfunkel. A duo.

My favorite song from them❤❤❤❤❤,with" Cecilia"

Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" is classic.

Watching someone's mind open and expand before your eyes is a beautiful thing. You're growing up, bro

It is amazing that you haven't seen the movie "The Graduate" which made the song famous. It probably will change your interpretation of the song. "Most of all you've got to hide from the kid" has a meaning in the movie, which I suggest that you watch before reading ANYTHING about it. A celebrated line in the song is "Where have you gone Joe Dimaggio...The nation turns it lonely eyes to you...Joltin' Joe has left and gone away." Back in the day, everyone understood that.

It was originally Mrs Roosevelt and about Eleanor Roosevelt, which makes more sense for the song, but they changed it to Mrs Robinson because of The Graduate.

Simon and Garfunkel were in a class by themselves. When they were first signed by Columbia Records, the marketing people had no idea how to "sell" them. The more you listen to them, the more you're drawn into their musical world.
