How dare you call that magnificent mustache cheesy, good sir?! It is indeed magnificent! If you magnificently agree, magnificently thumb this comment way up to the magnificent top! .. Magnificent.
@Anglynn74 I think he definitely has a lot of a jazzier kind of Beatnik banter to him at the time this was filmed, which has given way to a normal middle-aged man's voice. But heck, it was the sixties and it worked for him.
Amazing... "a few weeks ago" ... LOVE this song. It's the first time I've heard it since playing it over and over on that album, yes, back then. Thankful for You Tube!
To think, there was time when literate stuff like this showed up on the tube. Now? Tatted-up scumbags and blonde sluts whose talents end at their tits. Who'd have though a populace could devolve so quickly and completely?
If you like the song you should check out The New York Voices Sing The Songs Of Paul Simon. The whole album is a fantastic tribute to Paul's work, and their treatment of "Overs" is just breathtaking.
I really hate all the rap dissing that goes on the comments on songs like this. I enjoy music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, not so much 90s lol, and yes today. I listen to a lot of rap, and I cannot even begin to understand how so many of you judge it as garbage and talentless. Why, because it isnt what you like? Because you dont understand it? The songs on the radio do not represent the rest of the rap world.
Thank you Simon and Garfield, every time i watch this i laugh sooooo much.I mean check their faces lol...Check 0:24 and 2:19 ,dont tell me its not freaking funny!
The dude at the right is like coming out of Star Trek or something
@portero36 Well if you're a Simon and Garfunkel fan, or you're just a beginner in their music, this song is 4th in their track listing in their album ''Bookends'' released in 1968. If Paul Simon says it's a new song, this video must be filmed in 1967-68. Because if it was a new song then this would be filmed sometime before they added the song in their tracks, (maybe they were working on Bookends at the time) and before Bookends was released.
@hysteresiscure i think its the way he pronounces all his T's and other things. i used to think the same as you, but wen i think bout it now, he doesn't talk like that anymore. but to be honest its prob becuz he lived in brentwood n the eastend for a while and kinda liked it, which is flattering really. i think its cute.
I really miss the days when you could turn on a vareity show like the Smothers Brothers, and have quality singer/songwriters like S&G sing a new song, never heard before, and just blow you away. All we get on TV now is lip-synched kwrap.
@MrHobiecat I miss the days when there was actual singer/songwriters. I'm 22 and I hardly own any music from my generation. I can't understand how people like what's popular these days. These guys are the real deal.
@MrHobiecat That's right - it's just tough business today. Money, money, money ... No more time for quality, no courage to invest outside the mainstream, or even sometimes to bring something new and play on the radio. Or to show shows like Smothers Brothers.
I've seen LOTS of Paul stuff from beginning til now, and I've never heard his accent like in his introduction. Sounds like he was trying to sound British or something. It's all good, they are geniuses :)
He wasn't "trying" to sound British. He lived in london for a period of time in the mid sixties and developed an accent as a result. This is not the first time. Many Yanks have gone to live in England and came back with an accent!
He only lived in London for a year or two, which is not enough time to change your accent, especially at his age and being from where he is (Queens [represent]). Paul's talking in that hep cat 60s way that everyone was affecting at the time (you can hear even Pete Townshend doing it at Monterey), which I find hilarious compared to his natural accent. I compare it to white people trying to sound "black" for lack of a more PC term today.
no but i think it suits. born 25 years after all this happened but have been more affected by the catalogue of this duo than any other musical venture ever. takes me back to to a hot sofa in summer rocking back and forth without any presence of time or space or situation pure bliss.
Only lovers of FOLK ROCK music. Paul was 1st married in 1969. Divorced in 1975. 1 son in 1972. Married actress Carrie Fisher. No divorce date given. Then married folk singer Edie Brickell on May of 1992;3 children. Garfunkel married Linda Grossman 1972;Divorced 1975. He was involved with actress Laurie Bird until her death in 1979. He married former model Kathryn Cermak. 2 Children. Check wiki for more info.
I love Simon & Garfunkel and I'm more than impressed with their music and artistic activity but I have to admit that the way they sit there is a little bit... awkward.
It's about someone who knows the relationship is over, but is so afraid of being single, and so used to being with somebody, they can't bring themselves to admit it's over.
i love these guys. paul is possibly the greatest song writer of all time. and art is probably the greatest singer ever to hit folkrock music. dont get me wrong, paul can hit every note he sings, but he can't do it like art can.
who cares about the mustache? Art is a great talent and combined with Paul they became a supergroup. One of the best that America has yet to offer. I love youtube. Where else can we see this stuff..this is all too good to last much longer.
Thank god their music was so good, otherwise they'd be a laugh riot- everything about this clip is what a comedy show would do to take the piss out of folk music. The turtle necks, the serious look on their faces, the way that Art is sitting and of course that tash!
Artie's usually a rather bit of a pretty-boy.....But now he's got a caterpillar glued to his lip. xD Ah, well. The 'stache just doesn't work. Lovin' the bright orange outfits, heh. Matching.
You're not 2 old 2 rock. You just have too much taste for others to understand, love. I'm 36, too young to know everything these two did? Thank you for this!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx
gracias from england, too. another stunningly good example of subtle, clever and genuinely moving fusion rock/pop/folk. nobody ever did it so well as these two chaps...
I keep asking myself the same question. Where are the people doing folk or folk-rock or something related to it? Where are the guys doing two-part harmony with an acoustic 6- or 12-string? I do hope they're out there, because some truly amazing music can happen under those circumstances.
Garfunkel looks like he about to go off to fix someone's fridge in a dodgy German porn movie, but an excellent performance of one of my favourite Paul Simon songs nonetheless!
Also shows of what a fine fingerstyle guitarist Simon is.
Yeah, he looks just like that. But that is what's so great about this pair. Their popularity was not based on appearence nor bombastic show. Just the song - the lyrics and the melody.
Wasn't this from the Smothers Bros. show? I believe I have this on VHS. If memory serves me correctly on the same show they also did "Cloudy". 1967 IO believe.
what an incredibly mature and different song this was. paul's genius composing ability missed with arty's beautiful voice. it is time-less as are virtually every song they ever did. a match made in heaven
I adore this song. Paul Simon is 1 of the greatest songwriters of the last century. I'm always miffed when people gonon about Lennon and MacCartney who in my humble opinion are seriouly overrated. Paul should be even more a byword for amazing songwriting. His conversational lyrics and then able to marry them to addictive pop/folk melodies without being too conventional. He's a don, a maestro!
If you look at Lennon and McCartney musically they're a bit more experimental melodically. The way they make their melodies from fragments to phrases is always a delight to experience as the song progresses. Simon and Garfunkel do it to on their absolute best numbers, but I still agree on the coversational-lyric half of it and personally lean more in the S&G direction.
This live version is superior to the recording I think, because it has less of Paul's wacky guitar out-of-tune bluesy bits, and more of Artie's harmonising. I believe this cut if from the Bookends album, so the performance is around '68. What show was this, and what's up with Artie's 'stache? I know he had one for the film "Carnal Knowledge", like around '71....
This version is not nearly as good as the one on the commercially released three CD box set. It's a live version from '68 and it's stunning! This version on the Smothers Brothers show is too fast and not nearly as soulful.
He once said he is not proud of this song because he was too young to write this when he did. I read it in an interview.. don't remember where though.
It may be that he was too young. That was what ... FORTY years ago? Still, brilliance is brilliance and insight is insight, and "Overs" has both, as does its author/composer.
Shit, I like the moustache.

That Artie is too much. Never a note off-place, and this was surely one of the harder ones.

Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriter's and this song along with a few others from the Bookend's album is among his most inspired.

This live version is superior to the recording I think, because it has less of Paul's wacky guitar out-of-tune bluesy bits, and more of Artie's harmonising. I believe this cut if from the Bookends album, so the performance is around '68. What show was this, and what's up with Artie's 'stache? I know he had one for the film "Carnal Knowledge", like around '71....

This version is not nearly as good as the one on the commercially released three CD box set. It's a live version from '68 and it's stunning! This version on the Smothers Brothers show is too fast and not nearly as soulful.

Art Garfunkel's solo is the highlight of this song (in my opinion)

He once said he is not proud of this song because he was too young to write this when he did. I read it in an interview.. don't remember where though.

He is way to humble. The song stands up strong still. 'Bittersweet' reference, for it's time, Brilliant.

It may be that he was too young. That was what ... FORTY years ago? Still, brilliance is brilliance and insight is insight, and "Overs" has both, as does its author/composer.
