Excellent post, particularly the contrast with "Flashbacks". There is no doubt the movie used the song to summarize its theme at the end. I also believe memories are inherently exaggerated -- hills were not higher, trees were not taller, grass was not greener -- but think that "put your feet on the ground" is a warning about that. (FWIW, in the movie, he was not "playing the field." He was seduced by a Mrs Robinson character.) The song has always been a favorite of mine, particularly the killer version on Viva! ( ... when I was young ...) |

| "Score" means 20, much like dozen means 12. It's not common in current American English, but well-known from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address (4 score and 7). | |
