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.
i am old. I am at the end of my life now..Wow, what a ride. This song just reminds me of how much time has passed and how quickly it goes. If you are young, Im not preaching and your life is yours to live as you choose, but trust me--The days are long but the years are short.
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.
@@ElSantoLuchador This song was written independently of that Mrs. Robinson, and was originally going to be called Mrs. Roosevelt, or it was at least considered.

I just got married last month. This morning, a friend said said, "Hey Mrs. Robinson! ... Wait, isn't that a song?" Well, here I am, Mrs. Robinson in the flesh!♡
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
@@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.

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!

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
My grandma used to listen to this song, she loved it so much. And today I’m listening to it in her memory...love you grandma, you’ll always be in my heart ❤️
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.
God Bless You, Ms. Robinson; Here’s to You. You were my 6th grade Math teacher and you touched my heart deeply. Every time I hear this song, I am reminded of a time when I was a very sensitive and stressed out young girl. I recall a time when I was kept after class and you somehow had learned of my love for animals. You gave me 2 ASPCA T-Shirts and a book about all sorts of animals, which I am sitting here with right now. It’s been nearly 10 years, but upon hearing that you’d passed away, I couldn’t stop myself from digging the book out from my book shelf. I will always cherish it and you, Ms. Robinson. RIP Jane Robinson ❤🕊️
@@straightbusta2609 The Graduate is a great film and if you liked the soundtrack then you'll probably enjoy the following songs by Simon & Garfunkel: Bridge Over Troubled Water America April Come She Will The Boxer
My newborn was often tired & collicky. I'd play this song and the first guitar strums would grab her attention - she'd lull into a happy slumber. Every time. Magic.
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!
“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. groovyhistory.com/original-name-simon-and-garfunkel-song
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)
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!
“Laugh about it , shout about it , when you’ve got to choose. Every way you look at this you lose.” My older brother used to say this line all the time , for some reason. He passed away years ago. Whenever I hear this song I think about him.
This song will remain a classic forever, Simon and Garfunkel are simply incredible! The Joe DiMaggio line hits hard though , I wasn’t alive to see him play but he represented what the US was all about in a time of uncertainty and hopelessness when heroes where in short supply…
Why he was a hope? Did he used to say important political things on a time when everyone was semi-blind? I just know he was a very famous baseball player
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.
Sooo underrated. Bless your dad, not much of a Christian but I felt like sayin' it My mom's 44 and she taught me good music like this, I love these parents
En 1974 yo tenía 15 años y un amigo, cuyo padre era el gerente de una casa disquera, me regaló un acetato con 14 canciones de este sensacional dúo. Me acompañó esta música en toda mi adolescencia. Hoy tengo una nieta y vuelvo a vibrar cada vez que los escucho.
In 1974 I was 15 years old and a friend, whose father was the manager of a record company, gave me an acetate with 14 songs by this sensational duo. He accompanied me this music throughout my adolescence. Today I have a granddaughter and I vibrate again every time I hear them. (i used google translate for this so if there are any mistakes my bad)
Zufällig "entdeckte"ich das wunderschöne Lied "Mrs. Robinson", gesungen von Simon and Garfunkel. Ich kenne dieses Lied bereits seit meiner Jugendzeit in den 60er- Jahren. Ich besitze auch eine CD mit diesem Lied von Simon and Garfunkel.
This song will always remind me of long road trips to the lake in the summer. My parents are huge Simon and Garfunkel fans…my sister and I both love their music too now 😊
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.
I've loved this song since I saw "The Graduate"! I was just a kid, but it's stuck in my head all these years. I started looking back through the music of the 60s and 70s for songs that would take me back to a time where all seemed safe and good! Simon and Garfunkle always do this for me! I have many of their albums..YES... ALBUMS, not CD's!
I’m 45 and let’s be honest…when I was born the best and biggest inflow of music was happening. So it took me years to pay this song much attention. It’s a banger and my fav of Simon and Garfunkel
@@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. You can choose whatever lifestyle you like, but please don't shove it down people's throats.

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 TH-cam. Cheers!
Someone’s spent to much on TH-cam
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!
“Laugh about it , shout about it , when you’ve got to choose. Every way you look at this you lose.”
My older brother used to say this line all the time , for some reason. He passed away years ago. Whenever I hear this song I think about him.
Sorry for your loss. :(
@@annarice1774 Thank you.

I'm so sorry.

High you op
Hi from Milwaukee!
This song will remain a classic forever, Simon and Garfunkel are simply incredible!
The Joe DiMaggio line hits hard though , I wasn’t alive to see him play but he represented what the US was all about in a time of uncertainty and hopelessness when heroes where in short supply…
Why he was a hope? Did he used to say important political things on a time when everyone was semi-blind? I just know he was a very famous baseball player
Well said Felix esp on Joe D, He was class personified and an American hero
yay a fellow felix
True legends, never get tired of listening to them. 💖
Joe wasn't happy about these guys mentioning him in their song; I remember that!
My mother used to listen to this all the time when I was little.
My too, every time on car drives :D memorys coming back ^-^

What a beautiful song!😊It's part of the history of music🎶🎵😍👏
It so underappreciated.!!!
@S00N2B3 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Exactly!! 👍🏻❤
Hermoso escucharlos, música inolvidable.
Love this song, it has such a Beatles vibe! Love all the influences! 💜💜💜
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.

My father is turning 71, I'm playing this for my dad to remember his time.
look around all you see is sympathetic eyes....hey, hey hey
My Dad played this song loads too xx
This song makes me think of my father. His name was Joe and his favorite baseball player was Joe DiMaggio
Long life and happiness to your dad! 👏👏👏🎆⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sooo underrated. Bless your dad, not much of a Christian but I felt like sayin' it
My mom's 44 and she taught me good music like this, I love these parents
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
At the top of their form with this timeless classic
I love this song. It will never grow old. These young men do a great job with it.
ME TOO SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
En 1974 yo tenía 15 años y un amigo, cuyo padre era el gerente de una casa disquera, me regaló un acetato con 14 canciones de este sensacional dúo. Me acompañó esta música en toda mi adolescencia. Hoy tengo una nieta y vuelvo a vibrar cada vez que los escucho.

Anybody else get chills from the Joe DiMaggio line?
Always.
As a baseball fan, yes, I get chills from this line
Every time - and my daughter plays it often just for that reason!!!
All of us
I thought about him the day I found out Willy Mays died. The Joe DiMaggio line popped into my head and brought me back to this song.😂❤
Mais um sucesso dessa maravilhosa dupla Samuel Garfunkel e Paul Simon
Great song i love it

A sheer awesomated instrumentational melodic masterpiece
The musicianship, vocals, sound production and songwriting are all impeccable.
It's a shame they broke up!
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.
@@robertrowbotham1 Sure...
@@robertrowbotham1 Technically they had written this song under a different name for their own album, but they renamed it to go with the graduate.
Never out of style , that's real music!
JESUS loves you more then you will know! powerfull
Amen 🙏
its amazing the lords love for us! forgive my gramer, im mexican
Que legal ouvir Mr. Robinson nos dias de hoje isso me leva aos anos 70 .. que saudades., muito bom relembrar...
The production quality of this piece has never been surpassed. I doubt if it ever will.
Like a rolling stone by Bob Dylan?
Bold statement
I'm 25 and this is one of my faves
Makes me feel alive and happy more than anything else in the world
Utterly phenomenal!
Zufällig "entdeckte"ich das wunderschöne Lied "Mrs. Robinson", gesungen von Simon and Garfunkel. Ich kenne dieses Lied bereits seit meiner Jugendzeit in den 60er- Jahren. Ich besitze auch eine CD mit diesem Lied von Simon and Garfunkel.
Die zwei (Simon und Garfunkel) sind immerhin Grossartig. Fred
Excellent harmony and unique, great song.
Daniel Archuleta agreed
haha me and my friends have an English teacher called Mrs Robinson so when we enter the class we sing this song😂
@JCLegoMan haha i love it!
When you know the movie this song was written for, your story becomes odd...
How did she react?
@@morrisbuschmeier2047 Although she is kinda strict she just smiled and said "Good morning to you too"
I bet she hasn't heard that one before
super best song
Their music ages like fine wines.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood with Mrs. Robinson!
Aprendi a gostar com meu irmão mais velho ouvindo. Hj sou apaixonada com essas músicas. Linda canção memorável.
Músicas que nos encantam...
This song will always remind me of long road trips to the lake in the summer. My parents are huge Simon and Garfunkel fans…my sister and I both love their music too now 😊
Hello 👋
This is endeed the best of the best ! Thanks Simon , thanks Garfunkel.
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!
God bless you too 🙏❤
God bless you too :)
Jesus loves you more than you could ever know!
Listened to this on my grandpas record player we had at our house. We would play the record over and over. Two great artists.
@Robin Anderson I’m doing well Robert. How are you?
Jesus loves you more than you can know!!
I think my father had a lot of fun back in the days
+Mario Cassina And so did I!
Back in the days it's now +Mario Cassina

+Ainsely Harriot sounds...spicy
Well, if you're going to have a guitar in your ear, I guess it's better if it sounds good, but thing whole thing sounds painful to me.
Dirk Gentley
thanks dad
Better see doctor, before it gets too noisy.
xD
I've loved this song since I saw "The Graduate"! I was just a kid, but it's stuck in my head all these years. I started looking back through the music of the 60s and 70s for songs that would take me back to a time where all seemed safe and good! Simon and Garfunkle always do this for me! I have many of their albums..YES... ALBUMS, not CD's!
I’m 45 and let’s be honest…when I was born the best and biggest inflow of music was happening. So it took me years to pay this song much attention. It’s a banger and my fav of Simon and Garfunkel
Love your comment and I reckon you are British or maybe Australian. Nailed it my friend, a "banger " indeed 👌
Nunca vou enjoar destas músicas, a gente consegue viajar no tempo e reviver tudo, feliz de quem nasceu numa época maravilhosa, magnífico. Valeu.

A lot has gone wrong in my life. I love this song because I need Jesus Christ more than you can know.

Hello from Russia.
In the USSR, they released records with your songs, I bow low to you
You should bow to no one. 🇺🇸
Very interesting. The popularity of this in the USSR 🙂
@noKatyanoparty I think they mean they don't respect Russians or something, they already knew what it meant
❤🤘
@noKatyanoparty they said you should bow to no one because they don't respect Russia it's not hard to understand
What a beautiful song we all need Jesus Christ Amen.
Yes, we do
Been doing just fine without him. He is up there with Santa Claus on the list of absurd things my parents told me when I was a kid.
@@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.
You can choose whatever lifestyle you like, but please don't shove it down people's throats.
Classic. Where did this harmony go!
Matthew O'Brian I don't know but unfortunately most people are into that rap stuff and I don't like it at all.
Haha, it's because you are scared of rappers.
Clorox, maybe its just your scared of good music? or just shit taste
