Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel cover)

my pet theory is that this song is not, in fact, about an affair between a young man and older woman as in the film "the graduate", but is really about Mrs Robinson entering a mental institution. I reckon this cos of lines like "we'd like to know a little bit about you for our files - we'd like to help you to learn to help yourself - look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes - stroll around the grounds untill you feel at home" That all sounds like the sort of stuff you might get told at an institution. and hiding it from the kids, and jesus loves you, all sounds like the sort of narrow-mindedness surrounding mental health.

I love this song..It's much better than the original, I think...But you still gotta give props to Simon and Garfunkel...Oh, and a funky bass line, by the way.

I like your thinking looby lou, I can tell what you mean and it makes sense.

One of the few covers that surpasses the original. And I love the original.

This song was originally by Simon and Garfunkel that was made for the movie The Graduate. I think its about Mrs. Robinson who seems like a normal woman having a secret afair.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!

i like this better than the original although the original is very good

I heard this song on my first day of high school. It's very interesting, and I like this version better even though my brother says I'm whack.

I like this song it makes me laugh

The song is about a woman who is an alcoholic.

She exhibits typical alcoholic behavior trying to stash bottles in secret places: Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

Her husband is aware and initially wants to hide her problem and save their reputations: It's a little secret just the Robinsons' affair Most of all you got to hide it from the kids and coo coo cachoo

Later, she is confronted and asked to go to rehab. Laugh about it shout about when you've got to choose Every way you look at it you lose

She checks in to the inpatient facility: We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files We'd like to help you to learn to help yourself Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
