[Irberkes]

Happi new year 2012 for only!!

[ethelbuzz]

song is about who hard it is to get a hot babe, I want cecelia.

[zipandzug]

Just as I started listening to this song I checked my album collection to see if Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hits has this on it. It does!

[fuckyourcouchish]

This song...

[seawills]

I've had this sung to me my whole life. Its even my ringtone. ~ Cecilia W. ~

[amiganutter]

Suggs all the way !

[medeasin]

Love how you can actually hear the record static.

[Blackhoundrise]

there was a woman who lived next door to my home in Zimbabwe. her name was Cecilia. boy was she trouble!

[alpacapals]

SYMON? blasphemy.

[oldschoolhunter]

ah these bass stomp recorded on this jam BROKE ME into rap music.THANK YOU WAYNE ROGERS I mean Garfunkel and Simon!!

[Stevo935]

Um....why does it stop early?

[rlbella]

believe that nonsense about St. Cecelia?

[caroljoelucy]

I wanted it to be about a slutty girl named Cecelia. Not the patron saint of music. So how come he gets up out of bed and someones taken his place. Its not cause shes a slut? this changes everything. I want my chilhood back ....

[TheMilagros59]

WONDER

[MrsLepetit]

The year I was born...and I will love this song until the day I die :)

[aanandkhara]

Yes, and John Lennon wa born in Afghanistan.

In the song they sing "making love in the afternoon to cecilia"

[TheSinBound]

@aanandkhara another term for making love is 'making beautiful music' or 'making sweet music'. And you have no research to disprove their comment, the same way they posted nothing that DOES prove it. Just calm down and enjoy the music like Paul and Art would have wanted. Geez.

[magovenor]

she was a tramp!

[mathgirl4444]

My teacher sings dis 2 ne lol and told me to research dis song its good though!

[ceciliasalinas64]

[pq9r6v3h2x]

[TIAAVENDEALANTIN]

what's with stopping the song before it's finished?  Bad form!, Thumbs down for you!

[pq9r6v3h2x]

I Love this song!!!!

[boywithcamera7]

@lucky4sonu dude... this is from 1970. what you know as the "music video" didnt exist yet. there might be a live recording out there somewhere, but you have to keep in mind... its 41 years old.

[WillyWillyP]

[1granddragon]

I don' t know about anyone else here, but I don't care for the lyrics.

[UNWRiTTENx33]

[GeorgiePPuddinPie]

Such a catchy track by two talented musicians. Brings back fond memories of yesteryear.

[mattthorn]

So many cover versions, but none approaches the brilliance of the original.

[wildheart60]

Love their hair!!!!

[MetalBreeder]

God I love my name (:

[MrDrteddybear]

[angileka1987]

5stars for you hon :)

[bobdylanforever1]

Up beat and springy is how I like ‘em! Another song with great lyrics is "I"ll Wander" by Genry Gene

[Avatar230594]

I'll make love in the afternoon with Cecilia

[ivegottawhoppadong]

they look like dumb and dumber lol

[BrennanDixon1537]

@ivegottawhoppadong

Never noticed, but they do haha.

[Liebeinmir]

My name is Cecilia! he's down on his knees =) hahahhaha

[chad6258]

can you possibly get two worst haircuts in one photograph? i think not.

[zeroforce0066]

@chad6258 Oh yes I'm sure good music is based on your haircut. Anyway, who are you to decide what their hair should look like, eh?

[chad6258]

@zeroforce0066 i never mentioned their music, which i actually think is great. but, in my opinion, their haircuts are awful. why are you so upset at that... are you their barber??

[stumpdonut23]

@chad6258 haha! i agree 100%. love their music, but their haircuts..eh....

[neil73]

I used to think the drums and percussion at the start of this track was a machine when I was a little 'un.

[SuperPeace191]

This somg os catchy and very great! and best song Eva:)<3 I heart Simon And Garfunkel.:).

[playyourlife1]

ah, where did the rest of the song go?

[RebeckaSarkozy]

I like the sound of the crackling record at the start! :-))

[zoeyandleo159]

I think you put it as Symon to annoy people. 

[FreddyLightsLives]

The song is a metaphor. It's not about a girl. It's about St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. The song is about writer's block.

[kevico2]

@FreddyLightsLives I didn't know that, hmph! Learn something new everyday!

[spencegame]

@FreddyLightsLives thats very ironic

[concretethought]

@FreddyLightsLives Ironic, isn't it?

[gotch09]

@FreddyLightsLives Wow, ya learn something new everyday. I never knew. I thought it was about a real slutty girl named Cecelia.

[carley5k]

@gotch09 writers block CAN be a slut

[justinschmieder]

@carley5k the biggest

[nish486]

@gotch09 It's a metaphor.. Song's about how hard it is to write a song.. St.Cecelia is the patron saint for musicians..

[ceciliasalinas64]

@gotch09 THE SONG IS SPELLED CECILIA

[gotch09]

@ceciliasalinas64 Otay.

[bnuttnleelee]

@FreddyLightsLives awesome! I've been thinking about the name Cecilia for my baby and this news is most welcome!

[HappyToLoveYou]

@FreddyLightsLives Yeah, I don't think two JEWISH boys would write a song about St. Cecilia....And I don't think they would regard St. Cecilia as a whore in a song. Read much into a song obviously about an adulterer?

But hey, to each their own. Believe what you want. I'm not going to rain on your parade - much.

[beex85]

@HappyToLoveYou 1. they're singers, after all. religion has not much to do here. why do you always have to pull religion and politics into music? that sucks!

2. as he said, it's a metaphor. so for you and all those who didnt get it and took the metaphor literally: he made love to cecilia (means he was inspired and wrote a song) then he went to wash his face and when he came back, she had someone new (means she inspired somone else and not him anymore) but then she (or inspiration) came back! meh

[HappyToLoveYou]

@beex85 Aww. Isn't that cute, you put down a stranger on the internet!

1) I understand the metaphor

2) I also understand that sometimes, the situation described happens in real life.

3) Religion and Politics are in music - discreetly and openly. By way of the artists. DEAL WITH IT.

4) You should know that I don't respond well to people who talk down to me. Or people who actually think that "meh" is an real word.

5) "TO EACH THEIR OWN" means everyone interprets differently - no one is right.

[beex85]

@HappyToLoveYou aww isnt that cute, you just do the same.

to 4) there were 3 characters left to write, i didn't want to waste them, so i wrote the first thing that popped into my head. bear with me, i'm not a native. but my english is apparently so good, you took me as one, didn't you?

5) yes, nobody is right. so why would you talk down on freddy? i just expressed my opinion too. and i just thought what you said was not ok.

but hey, to each their own, right? just don't be too arrogant ;)

[HappyToLoveYou]

@beex85 Actually no I didn't think so.

I wasn't trying to put anyone down, so I apologize for that, but when people hear this song and think it's about a saint - it's unsettling for me as a devout Catholic.

I will try harder not to be as arrogant - it's very difficult not to be when you have anonymity.

[beex85]

@HappyToLoveYou

aww isn't a word either ;)

anyway, that's why i said religion has not much to do with it. you might be devout, other might not be. maybe you think they should be and you feel offended whenever someone says something like this. not everything is religion. be open ;) if two guys, who happen to be jewish, sing about the christian patron of singers, then be it. there might not be anything religious about it ;)

and well, maybe freddy asked paul, so he might even be right ;)

[TerryLeeForevernever]

@FreddyLightsLives i NEVER knew that! That totally makes sense in a different light. :)

[faaronshreman]

@FreddyLightsLives Well, that's a first in rock -- a Jewish kid singing about a Catholic saint. It's a tempting theory, but doesn't make it; Simon doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would blame the ups-and-downs of his career on religion.

[BaneOfRagnarok]

@FreddyLightsLives legit? thats something I never knew.

[OrthodoxAtheist]

@BaneOfRagnarok Yes, legit.

[faaancyful]

@FreddyLightsLives thats one way of looking at it :)

[TheJfred88]

beautiful

[sophielago]

@FreddyLightsLives love that story (true or not), love the song!

[storm071970]

I like to listen to this song in the nude.

[thebiggesttwodoorfan]

Two Door Cinema Club pwns. /watch?v=H-xk0WbTOzQ

There's also a video of them singing it, look up two door cinema club cecilia

[mwebber69]

OMG, noooooooooooooo !!! Great cover, Symon & Garfunkel ! It's just like the song of Simon & Garfunkel !

[Michele640]

I'm not even sure Cecilia is a real person.

[royals1985brett]

hey guys i really dont think that paul simon really cared about cecelia or more to the point he didnt love her. because i really dont think he would pick such an uptempo beat to go with these lyrics

i think paul simon was just fine with cecelia cheating on him because he appreciate the permiscousness some women have, he finds her lightness refreshing. shes breaking his heart but thats just something a person has to say when theyve been cheated on

[TheSaboteur97]

I can never listen to it around my uncle.

[ghostriderjoemomma]

my name iscecilia and i ame not sowe happyright now i cansowe you12236396

[ceciliajwz]

my name is cecilia hahaha.

[dreamingpixles]

They played this song at my uncle's wedding reception, and it seemed like *everyone* got up to dance, even the ones who would normally be too shy or dignified, we were all dancing and singing along.

Then the sound kicked out halfway through!

But in spite of it, still possibly my best memory of the whole summer.

[screeemingatawall]

Cecilia sounds like bad news.

[h4zre]

I've known a fair few cecilia's in my short time on this earth

[Kelski1998]

Have a friend Ceclia we always sing this when we see her!

[yerko66666]

my name is CECILIA I break thounsand hearts

[infinera06]

Why does this sound like it's coming through tin speakers?

[mookkeypa]

@infinera06 - it's 'cause it's recorded from vinyl. That's what it sounded like on a record player. And this is exactly how I remember it!!!

[LOSImovies]

a fucking classic ! <333

[LittleSweety]

This song is no.13 in the german year-end-charts in 1970 #simon #and #garfunkel

[Kippchenschnorrer]

[CeciliaBanan]

[NunoGraca18]

[magovenor]

@ceceburkey1 lol

[Staratino]

Simon looks a bit like Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) from "Dumb and Dumber".

His hair anyway. And on that note, Art could be Harry.

[royals1985brett]

@Staratino

Its called a bowl cut. respect the bowl cut

[krazysmartgurl]

[MTL911Truth]

[LadyRagefist]

This isnt even the full version. I accidentally 40lbs of fail.

[blamelauren]

@LadyRagefist wat.

[gezblair]

not being funny but Cecilia sounds like a bit of a slapper

[OWindmillsOfYourMind]

nice spelling of simon clown.

[ostefjappe]

i've never understood people who didn't know who simon and garfunkel was

[phillylily412]

16 people must be really stupid to hate this song so much they had to say it

[tinyindigostar]

those are some seriously awesome hairdo's there. 

[missfiveday]

perfect song to dance to.... makes me move everytime!!!

[wikef]

[masterpangloss]

Saint Cecilia

[LESIMS2100]

[Vampirbraut13]

Cooler Song. Eine Freundin wurde auf Grund dieses Songs Cecilia genannt ^^

[MultiOtty]

erinnerungen werden wach .das waren zeiten .

[straightouttabmt]

he looks like spuck , the guy on the left . i dont know wich one is who

[GatewayGhettoProd]

I wonder if the echoing tom-toms towards the end of "Hello, Goodbye" had an influence on this?

[Xcurior]

Never had nor really listened to this song ever, but somehow I just inherently knew it. Must've heard it on the radio at one point as with many songs, but it was easy enough to search because of the chorus :) Idk what other's associate the song with, but it's catchyness was quite similar to what I found Mr. Postman to be.

[straightouttabmt]

@Xcurior LOL i had it in my head all fuckin day , and i didn't even knew it was symon and garfunkel, its actually their first song i ever listened too... but i was singning it all day

[Macangusagain]

how very great they were,without a doubt!!!!!

[MsCbernal]

my daddy has sang this to me all my life...

[tlisia]

@MsCbernal Very odd, considering!

As long as your name isn't Cecilia. Amazing music you were brought up with though. 

[er6789er]

@MsCbernal - Your Dad is awesome!! Tell him that everyday!! He Loves you!!

[becki76]

[Jonboyi]

[ESPsplit]

[robbie144L]

[krazysmartgurl]

my name is cecelia and when ppl first meet me they sing this songXD

[Ccfrosty]

[WallaceTheSir]

Definitly... The only band in the world comparable with the beatles! Love them!

[myshelley8]

[tattoorocker]
