When this song was at its height, my sister was 19 years old, dying from cancer. I was 17, and left school to spend a dreary winter with her in a Chicago hospital where they were doing experimental chemo. Late night, we'd order a pizza to be delivered to the ER in the basement, because nobody was allowed on the 8th floor cancer ward that late. We'd ride the elevator down and back, harmonizing this song together. She died too soon after that. I'm in my 70s now, but when I hear this song, I'm 17, in an elevator with great acoustics, holding a pizza, and singing my heart out with my best friend.
thats was beatifully written. Thanks for sharing that.
So sorry for your loss!
😢
So sorry for the loss of your sister.Hope those memories make you smile now.
Thanks
Had a teacher in primary school called Mrs Robinson. The whole school (only about 100 kids) got together and sung this to her on her 50th birthday. I'll never forget that day.

My mom married name is Mrs. Robinson and this song touched my heart. She is with God now and this song let me know she’s my angel and Jesus loves her more than she know.

On June 1, 1968 this was the top selling song on the Billboard. It’s been 55 years! Wow!!!
I was not even born that day but wow, I so love this song!
my late husband Jim played this to me as a proposal song. I became Mr's Robinson and had nearly 28 wonderful years of marriage and 31.5 years together before he passed away 💔 27-07-2019 from Cancer. I'm still married to him and always will be love you always ❤ Jimbo
So beautiful!

I stopped counting films, in which this song was used. XD But as a Catholic - I love it! ❤ Anyone 2024? 🎉
The chemistry with the guitar riffs + vocals is unmatched. No cover or live performance can ever match this. Just too good
Totally agree. Only someone with equal or more music talent can match it
Lemon heads did a great cover
@@normanmacdonald5655 punk rock version. Seems to insult her for her emotional state or put her down for it. Lacks the understanding and empathy of the original song. So, I could not call it a great cover. They have talent but should stick to topics that suit punk rock.
What if it’s a live performance by Simon and Garfunkel themselves?
If you're still here, God bless you please, mr/s listener.
I just refurbished a pair of Koss Electrostatic Stereophones that were made the year this came out, and listening to this on them is a different experience.
Thank u! May god bless you too!

@@jimlovesgina feel sad for you take care of yourself.
@@jimlovesgina You may not reciprocate but as the song says he loves you so much. God bless
@@yungwaifu the song just says that Jesus loves Mrs. Robinson - says nothing about how he might feel about the rest of us. Plus, I don't think Simon or Garfunkel ever got to be the Pope or ever claimed to be a set of prophets.

Hello from Russia.
In the USSR, they released records with your songs, I bow low to you
You should bow to no one. 🇺🇸

This song remids me of an 1890's Wild West rider competing in a race. I think he also had a thing for a certain type of cactus
Let's be honest, this doesn't popped up in your recommendations. You searched for it because you just randomly started hearing this song in your head.
Accurate 👌🏻😂
God is that you?
True
Not for all of us, Big Czar. So sorry your majesty. It came up in a random mix an hour after first putting on Lou Reed's "Street Hassle" for me. What's the connection there besides New York?
Wtf facts
I like how two men with an acoustic guitar could make magic
+ There are only two genders The 1960s magic.
There are only two genders I thought Paul was the only guitarist.
two men with an acoustic guitar.. look up: Ylvis - Old friends
I agree with you
There are only two genders it is true, guitars have lost their magical powers
Back when music was music
Quite refreshing to remember the good old days with this song of Simon and Garfunkel, beautiful song.
This song reminds me of my childhood. Mom and dad listened to it. Great music. Awesome parents
It is so refreshing to hear someone praise their parents. In this culture, it seems like everyone just finds fault. Our parents weren't perfect but they were awesome. ❤️
My entire musical taste just got stuck at that time, when we were driving in our car for 12 hours to vacation in italy or greece etc. and we heard one CD after the next. Great times. Thank your parents once in while, people!
True legends, never get tired of listening to them. 💖
Same. My Dad loved Simon and Garfunkel and Cat Stevens. Listened to them every Saturday morning while spending time with family.
I started listening to Simon and Garfunkel in '65 when I was a senior in college. Great times😊
“Laugh about it , shout about it , when you’ve got to choose. Every way you look at this you lose.”

My brother was profoundly and deaf but still enjoyed Mrs. Robinson he would would whistle 😙 along with it .and I sware he was singing too. He so loved it . On Memory of James Peter Moran 1-30-2000.
It was a great time living when Simon & Garfunkel were together-their songs captured the time so well.
I'm an old soul trapped in modern times. The soul of the yester years were and still are the best part of being human. It's great to be alive and have a soul.
I loved this song growing up in my life. I had a neighbour called Mrs Robinson. She had got over such Hardship in her life. Death of husband, being burgled, brought all her four kids up. And was chatty and alive. But, as it happens to all of us she died but at 94. I used to bake buns for her and take her a newspaper and buns or chocolate most weeks. Now the house is empty and on the market. Each time I go shopping I see the rack with newspapers in, see the treats I would have bought her so I cant put her out of my mind. I am in awe of her strength and her long life. Rest in peace you lovely old Lady. X x
A timeless classic, doesn't matter what year it is!
Yes! everlasting and for a memorable film.

I must admit that I was an unlucky chap who in his entire life didn't listen to this masterpiece. Now finally
But look at you now fella'
you should watch the film The Graduate that this song was made for. Its a classic.
@@robertrowbotham3115 Sure...
@@robertrowbotham3115 Technically they had written this song under a different name for their own album, but they renamed it to go with the graduate.
Simon and Garfunkel, my mom used to play them every morning during the car journey to school. This song is a trip of utterly mundane memories.
Utterly mundane? Is that bad or good?
yeah like he said is that bad or good?
I think he is saying it is special not because it was part of some major life moment, but rather because it was a constant part of a time in his life. Not an exciting time, but rather just there and part of it.
I feel that way about a lot of 80s songs that played non-stop on the radio when I was a kid, and when hearing them, make me reminisce about that time period generically. Like the soundtrack to a film set in the 80s.
My late Father had an 8 track of "Bridge over Troubled Water" and he played it
constantly on his 8 track player back in the early 70's. I Never stopped liking
them or their music to this day, and have all their albums on CD. I have even
made a "Best of" CD for my own pleasure. God Bless you Both Paul and Art.
This song, and many others like these, speak to me of an America which we have lost.

Really. What's the difference who sings the tune and what their sexual preference is.
wow such negative comments probably from young insecure dudes, when you guys grow up you'll realize sexual preference isn't a big deal, I feel bad for these peoples parents, should have wore protection then we wouldn't have to worry about you idiots
You know I'm very liberal in my thinking, I grew up through the Boy George era, Freddy Mercury coming out, and so on. In other words , 'who cares?' But I've noticed over the last ten years the gays (encompassing all) have turned somewhat militant. That turns me off. In such circumstances I fall back to a default position which I use that was formulated in 1983.
I was being lectured on a construction site about sexual harassment. It was more to do with the lady workers being bothered by the guys. But I also noticed a parallel with gays in the sense that I had seen two gay dudes get hassled off a different jobsite. in both of those situations, it wasn't that the root problem was their life choice. The problem was they were disrupting the jobsite because they weren't 'keeping it in the closet', to put it another way, they were pushing their agenda too hard. In that sense, I have probably developed a weird algorithm that is fine and o.k. to be whatever you are in life, as long as it's not screwing up the well-being of the whole group.
If this kind of language bothers you, the 'dudes comments, maybe you need to take a look at what you say before you say it. In my eyes, your eloquence is no better than theirs.
Did a skinny bloke burst in and go on a kill-crazy rampage with automatic weapons? Well, next week eh?

"Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?"
What a lyric.
+Pineapple Potato No personal resonance, whatsoever. I hate football, know nothing about Joe DiMaggio, and I'm not particularly sure why anyone would. Great song, though. Heh.
+Jeremiah Peppercorn dude Joe DiMaggio played baseball not football. And sports fans know him because he holds the record for the longest hitting streak.
Oh.
+Jeremiah Peppercorn The guy was a stud. Hell he was married to Marilyn Monroe.
+Jeremiah Peppercorn I think he was a massive baseball player in the 50s and he was Marilyn Monroe's husband for a time .
“Heaven holds a place for those who pray” a stunning line, we all pray some religiously, some not. But we all do.
and for those prey....
Atheists dont
How those key words remind me when I already know is where I want to be
I'm 27 yes old. It's 2023. Much love to this song. Much love to everyone who lives it and Much love to the ones who don't.
Without a doubt one of the greatest songs of the '60's. Used as the the theme song for The Graduate. I had a close call with a Mrs. Robinson, too!
Ya can't think of this song without thinking of The Graduate. Ya can't think of "cougar women" without that movie and this song crossing your mind, if you're from a certain generation!
@@JesusLovesBest Also, when someone just says the word "plastics" it can often cause a brief flashback to members of our generation. Take care!
Ben: Elaine! Elaine! Elaine!
Elaine: Ben..............
“Mrs. Robinson,” was originally titled, “Mrs. Roosevelt.” The song and had absolutely nothing to do with the plot of The Graduate. When director Mike Nichols said he needed another song for his movie, Paul Simon told him that they were too busy touring and that he only had “a song about times past, about Mrs. Roosevelt and Joe DiMaggio and stuff,” but it wasn’t finished yet. It was originally a tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt and the passing of an era; a more innocent era to be exact.
When Nichols realized "Mrs. Roosevelt" had the same number of syllables as “Mrs. Robinson”, he asked Simon to change the title and the song “Mrs. Robinson” was born.
Joe DiMaggio Wasn't Wild About His Inclusion In The Lyrics
The song asks "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" then immediately answers itself "Joltin' Joe has left and gone away." The former New York Yankee and three-time MVP was puzzled by the lines, and he told Simon just that when they happened to meet. Paul Simon wrote of the encounter and conversation in a New York Times article marking DiMaggio's passing in 1999:
"What I don't understand," [DiMaggio] said, "is why you ask where I've gone. I just did a Mr. Coffee commercial, I'm a spokesman for the Bowery Savings Bank and I haven't gone anywhere."
I said that I didn't mean the lines literally, that I thought of him as an American hero and that genuine heroes were in short supply. He accepted the explanation and thanked me. We shook hands and said good night.
Simon admitted in the editorial that he didn't quite nail the explanation to DiMaggio, and went on at more length:
In the 50's and 60's, it was fashionable to refer to baseball as a metaphor for America, and DiMaggio represented the values of that America: excellence and fulfillment of duty (he often played in pain), combined with a grace that implied a purity of spirit, an off-the-field dignity and a jealously guarded private life. ... He was the antithesis of the iconoclastic, mind-expanding, authority-defying 60's, which is why I think he suspected a hidden meaning in my lyrics. The fact that the lines were sincere and that they've been embraced over the years as a yearning for heroes and heroism speaks to the subconscious desires of the culture. We need heroes, and we search for candidates to be anointed.

That was a tasty bit of trivia Vir,Thanks !
Yes, it was originally called Mrs Roosevelt and I love the fact that many people think it flatters and honors her, because that means they succeeded in getting their obvious criticism of her out without offending anyone (sadly it also means that not many people actually got what it's really about - let's just say it has to do with certain rumors about her and I actually made a cover of it called Mrs. Clinton - fits great)
Emmanuel Goldstein - Thanks. I'll look for your rendition Mrs. Clinton on RUclips. Cheers!
Someone’s spent to much on RUclips
This is interesting. Without this context, I always interpreted it as a song about a woman going through AA/rehab for alcoholism. This is good to know!
This song really PIERCES with its excellence
