Very clever song that makes a nice observation about how ideas from the past find their ways into contemporary culture.
This song and its lyrics are terrific. The song uses the aforementioned photograph which Simon describes. They return to their room and listen to songs by Doo-Wop groups from the 50s and 60s. Rock and Rolld was influenced by surrealists like Rene. Then Rene and Georgette time travel (which would make perfect sense to a surrealist) and end up in New York City strolling down Christopher Street and feel at home because they have helped create the crazy clothing one finds (or found, I haven't been there in a while) there.
They then travel back home to their own time with their own time and have secret access to the music they helped create.

One line I don't understand (I haven't listened to the song in some time) is "decades gliding by like Indians," unless he's referring to the children's poem, "Ten Little Indians," either way in a lyric about surrealism why should everything make sense?
