I've come to watch your flowers growing Why They're Nonsensical: 1) Why would you sing to a lamp post?

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:

"At The Zoo"

This song represents a humorous side of Simon and Garfunkel when they mention about what animals represent and a drunk zookeeper.

Submitted by: Paul Warren

Hidden Messages:

"So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright"

Near the end of the song (about 2:55) you can hear Paul Simon calling out "So long, Arty". The song was written for Art Garfunkel (who sings it) because Art said Paul Simion couldn't write a song about his favorite architect. It was the last song they recorded for a long time, so the 'so long' was true. The song is as much about Art as Frank.
