Simon Garfunkel made a lot of great songs, • but this one is by far my favourite one. • Mrs Robinson gives me so much energy. • It's similar to an energy-drink for me. :D • So, if you need some inspiration, tune in! ;) • Have fun and enjoy! • Lyrics: • And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson, • Jesus loves you more than you will know. • God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson. • Heaven holds a place for those whopray, • Hey, hey, hey • Hey, hey, hey • 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. • God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson. • Heaven holds a place for those who pray, • Hey, hey, hey • Hey, hey, hey • Mrs. Robinson is a song by American music duo Simon Garfunkel from their fourth studio album, Bookends (1968). Produced by the duo and Roy Halee, it is famous for its inclusion in the 1967 film The Graduate. The song was written by Paul Simon, who pitched it to director Mike Nichols alongside Art Garfunkel after Nichols rejected two other songs intended for the film. The song contains a famous reference to baseball star Joe DiMaggio. • Mrs. Robinson became the duo's second chart-topper, hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as peaking within the top 10 of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Spain, among other countries. In 1969, it became the first rock song to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. The song has been covered by a number of artists, including Frank Sinatra, the Lemonheads, and Bon Jovi. In 2004, it finished at No. 6 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. • Simon Garfunkel reached national fame in the United States in 1965–66, touring colleges and releasing a string of hit singles and albums. Meanwhile, director Mike Nichols, then filming The Graduate, became fascinated with the duo's past two efforts, listening to them nonstop before and after filming. After two weeks of this obsession, he met with Columbia Records chairman Clive Davis to ask for permission to license Simon Garfunkel music for his film. Davis viewed it as a perfect fit and envisioned a best-selling soundtrack album. Simon was not as immediately receptive, viewing movies as akin to selling out , but he agreed to write at least one or two new songs for the film after being impressed by Nichols' wit and the script. Leonard Hirshan, a powerful agent at William Morris, negotiated a deal that paid Simon $25,000 to submit three songs to Nichols and producer Lawrence Turman. • Several weeks later, Simon re-emerged with two new tracks, Punky's Dilemma and Overs , neither of which Nichols was particularly taken with. Nichols asked if the duo had any more songs to offer, and after a break from the meeting, they returned with an early version of Mrs. Robinson . They had been working on a track titled Mrs. Roosevelt , and returned to perform it for Nichols. He was ecstatic about the song, later commenting, They filled in with dee de dee dee de dee dee dee because there was no verse yet, but I liked even that. Garfunkel later expanded upon the song's placement in The Graduate: • Paul had been working on what is now 'Mrs. Robinson', but there was no name in it and we’d just fill in with any three-syllable name. And because of the character in the picture we just began using the name 'Mrs. Robinson' to fit [...] and one day we were sitting around with Mike talking about ideas for another song. And I said ‘What about Mrs. Robinson.' Mike shot to his feet. 'You have a song called Mrs. Robinson and you haven’t even shown it to me?' So we explained the working title and sang it for him. And then Mike froze it for the picture as 'Mrs. Robinson'. • The flim version employs a Bo Diddley Beat, unlike the studio version. The final version of Mrs. Robinson was completed on February 2, 1968, at Columbia Studio A in New York City. The recording was released more than three months after the release of The Graduate, but through its numerous radio plays became an important cross-promotion of the film during its initial run in theaters. A louder and punchier bass drum is present on the promo mix, which was done to accommodate for the limited dynamic range produced by AM radio. • #MrsRobinson #SimonGarfunkel #1HOUR • Please, subscribe to my channel!
