Simon & Garfunkel's, "Feelin' Groovy"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Try to make the morning last... Hello, lamp post...
Why They're Inappropriate:
How is talking to a lamp post supposed to make the morning last? Seems to me more a way to waste the morning and make it as unproductive as possible. Maybe we're supposed to spend the morning researching why this is actualy titled '59th Street Bridge Song,' or whatever. (I know why, but I really don't care).

Simon & Garfunkel's, "Mrs Robinson"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Here's to you Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
Why They're Inappropriate:
Oh yes and what if Mrs Robinson turns out to be an athieist? Then what would you do?

Simon & Garfunkel's, "Mrs Robinson"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio ,etc.
Why They're Inappropriate:
To Steve C Your middle school English teacher who thinks 'Joltin' Joe' refers to electro-shock is obviously a moron! 'Joltin' Joe' is just one of many nicknames the press had for DiMaggio. Also, the lines were put in by Paul Simon to lament the lack of real role models for young people in the turmoiled world of the Graduate, the late 60s

Simon & Garfunkel's, "Mrs. Robinson"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio...
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Why They're Inappropriate:
Perhaps the most famous inappropriate lyric in music history, especially since the tune or the movie it came from, 'The Graduate', had nothing to do with baseball. Maybe S & G were closet Ted Williams fans.

Simon & Garfunkel's, "Mrs. Robinson"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio...
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Why They're Inappropriate:
These lines are particularly inappropriate now that Joltin' Joe actually _has_ 'left and gone away.' :( (I understand that when the Yankee Clipper first heard the song he though S&G were making fun of him._)

Simon & Garfunkel's, "Mrs. Robinson"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Where have you gone, Joe diMaggio
. . .
What's that ya say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away...
. . .
What's that ya say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away...
Why They're Inappropriate:
This song is supposed to be what the staff of an insane asylum tells Mrs. Robinson as she is admitted (presumably from the events in the movie 'The Graduate'). My middle school English teacher suggested that 'Joltin' Joe' was a reference to the electroshock therapy that was probably part of Mrs. Robinson's treatment. But what the hell does Joe diMaggio have to do with that???

Simon & Garfunkel's, "The Boxer"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
In the clearing stands a boxer, a fighter by his trade...
Why They're Inappropriate:
Where did the boxer come from? The rest of the song tells us about a lonely boy wandering far from home and how cold and hungry and lonely he is, and then suddenly we're looking at an unnamed boxer.
