The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)

[life49786]

@clps12; The instrument is called a recorder

[life49786]

@StaceysSongs: The name of the keyboard woodwind instrument is called a recorder.

[life49786]

@thetwerj: The instrument that the musician is playing at 1:50 is, I called a recorder.

[FIonnualaT]

I heart this cute song!

[thetwerj]

What is the name of the instrument that the dude at 1:50 is playing? That thing is nifty!

[lexusmaxus]

The first cassette I ever listened to was a Simon & Garfunkel best hits from a mono portable cassette player ... instantly loved this song who wouldn't cheers for this upload

[muttiplay]

240p, we meet again... but i don't give a f., this is an awesome song and brings so much joy i couldn't care less about the quality of the video

[pavlina102]

Can´ t this sound more persuasive these days than it did in their youth? Either of them was really - and painfully - struggling to achieve his private happiness. Now they know even better what this feeling is about.

[nicox1617]

the first time i heard bout this song was on the 4th volume of the new spider man series

[zaqiuldeep]

THE HAPPIEST SONG ON EARTH !!!

[christiaan81music]

I like to drink good wine and listen to this song :)

[ctwomey]

What makes me laugh is Simon really, really hates this song. He claims it's too simplistic and pedestrian. I guess "Slip out the back, Jack, Make a new plan, Stan, Drop off the key, Lee" is classic poetry? LOL!

[TVWriterGuy]

The world would be a different place if everyone started their day listening to this song.

[TriAnna42]

@TVWriterGuy agreed.

[ratfarts100]

This is just WEIRD!!!

[xxmakeitsickxx]

One of my very good friends, who recently committed suicide, loved this song. This song brings back so many memories. I hope he's feelin' groovy in Heaven <3

[kaspoogle]

So yeah, I just woke up 15 minutes ago, school started about an hour and a half ago, I was rushing until about 10 minutes ago, when this came on shuffle. Looks like school will have to wait.

[dsmbholmes]

Looks (and sounds) like a "grand piano" version of a melodica. Hope somebody can give you a better answer.

[pinkmonkeysrock11101]

These guys are quite possibly the most amazing duo ever! I'm 16 and they are my favorite! I wish they where still together though. Would of loved to see one of their concerts before I die.

[musiclover9361]

@pinkmonkeysrock11101 They're still together kid! Fingers crossed your parents will get you a ticket. ;-)

[mjgoss11]

We listened to this EVERY morning on the way to school! :)

[MrGodzilla2112]

No concerts like these anymore.

[StaceysSongs]

What's the name of the keyboard woodwind instrument one of them is playing?

[JessiMessy1981]

Love this song.. I love almost all Paul Simons songs. I never get tired of singing them... makes you feel so good. Check out my page, I cover this song. My friend recorded me playing it at The House of Blues VooDoo Lounge on Sunset. He titled it "feeling groovy" though.. :)

[wizfahlife]

the days where live music was the best.. miss this

[tyto89snake]

amazing spiderman n° 529

[paradigmadozen]

Pia Sundhage...my dad brought me here

[mynameisauk]

@WindOfSolitude me too.. heh. which issue? road to civil war? one more day?

[WindOfSolitude]

@mynameisauk actually road to civil war but I didn't start looking for the song until one more day at the forth issue.

[mynameisauk]

@WindOfSolitude cool.. it's a great song and civil war was great as well

[WindOfSolitude]

I can't believe a Spider-man comic brought me here.

[diebox14]

@WindOfSolitude LOL me too!!

[cbouter11]

Save reason i got here. Pia sundhage has just a great attitude. Great wc even without bringing the cup home. The team just played a great game of soccer.

[gaijinninja76]

MissFashionFoward, i came here for the same reason hahaha! Pia Sundhage singing for the reporters because our woman's soccer team has ran a triumphant wave in the world cup, i wish them courage and success! GO US TEAM BRING HOME THE CUP! ALL THE BEST to a wonderfull group of girls playing their hearts out, with dare i say, better flair and gusto that MALES! in the same sport!!!

[missfashionfoward]

Pia Sundhage brought me here..Hehe

[styleplay123]

@missfashionfoward she brought me here too!!! GO WNT!!!!



[molinos94]

They are the best , in my opinion better than all of the groups of my generation , and like the beatles

[bewustsein]

yuuuuuuiiiaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeyyyy­yjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjiiiiiiiiiii­iiipppeeeiiijj!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ottawangel]

the only two other songs that come anywhere near this one for happy are (a) Punky's Dilemma (S&G) and Mother Nature's Son (as done by J Denver)

[Locks2010]

Dr. Chapatín o/

[Niek67]

This song reminds me of Brandon Hardesty

[Sixpasher]

[615Cath]

[deosullivan3]

What is that way too funky trombone called? I WANT ONE!

[revtimpsych]

This is one of the best songs ever written -- It brings back tons of amazing memories for me of my childhood -- in the top three of the best songs ever this is number 1

[ohmygoshiloveapples]

@revtimpsych you're quite old

[12bulkhead]

[TerryLeeForevernever]

[TehZander]

Best ever.

[pgf95]

[hombrear]

@pgf95 hahaha, I came here because of that too!

[pgf95]

@hombrear haha,then I know you are a cool guy!

[saiforce]

i sing this at my school at courous

[gd230]

@saiforce yep it is just you...

[muso2491]

is it me or did they make the most chilled out song ever sound a lil bit cheesy? ...shame.

[technetium01]

I don't think I can stand to rename this song "the ed koch bridge song." Ugh.

[clps12]

What is the name of the instrument Rob Schwimmer is playing (aka the blow into piano)?

[Beyaunka]

@clps12 it's an accordion.

[EmilyFayLoombe]

listen to this as you get ready in the morning. It's impossible to have a bad day afterwards :)

[s0mack]

What instrument is that at 2:25?

[1oErdoben]

I love going for a leisurely stroll after a toke; this song goes on the playlist next to CCR.

[Chrono1296]

If everyone listened to this song when they got up in the morning, the worlds would be a better place.

[ChapuloEC]

La canción del Doctor Chapatín!!!

[LLCoolJays]

we have to sing this gay song in chorus i hate it >:/

[TheKinchdedalus]

This song reminds me of our current political divides.

[dreamquarter]

Pino Palladino!

[hoobity2908]

I want this played at my funeral as well as Its a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong...no I am serious peeps

[stoned66neves]

Não tem pra ninguém...

essa música é uma das 20 melhores de todos os tempos...com certeza!!!

[jjsakuraiii]

ah... they got old... i used to listen to their songs

[cinnamonbrandylite]

@jjsakuraiii - of the two options, getting old is the optimal one

[smartasscommenter]

7 people aren't feeling groovy

[SuperPeace191]

I am not yelling at the 7 people who hated this i understand in our minds we all have different taste in music i just don't know how any one could possibly in all music Exsistence could ever hate this ,This is poetry you don't see poetry like this any more at least not as much of it.

[SuperPeace191]

I am not yelling at the 7 people who hated this i understand in our minds we all have different taste in music i just don't know how any one could possibley in all music exsistence could ever hate this ,This is poetry you don't see poetry like this any nore at least not as much of it.

[tyrantsfaceisred]

thank you lompebroed for enlightening me to what a didgeribone was lol

but does anyone know the name of the mini piano-mouth organ that "Rod Schwimmer" is apparantly playing? haha

[robertrocalink]

Looks like is is a type of Melodica which is like a Harmonica / accordion - blow into it and when keys are pressed your breath stream of air goes across the reeds. There are a few makers of these under such names as 'Melodion'. etd. There are also ones with pickups built in for amplification. The one Schwimmer is playing is are pretty fancy one. Would like on myself.:-)

rocamusic

[mlampino]

surely is the happiest song on earth....thanks for posting.

[jonnyblaze621]

this song is about weed

[trossemmett]

best in the world!!

[fukmypuss]

check out my video-- a mix of a beach trip with this song...it works so well

[yugenro]

Love the feeling of this song! So pure, free, innocent, childlike. :-)

I have never seen a "sliding didjeridoo" before! Cool instrument!

[ginnypotter071]

remember that old simon and garfunkel song?

"slow down, you're movin too fast"

that says a lot about life and about cat massage

[axelharrington]

this song makes me smile...

i want this record!!1

[abhorsen29]

greatest song ever

[VivaLaVieBoheme49]

if i was to ever get high, id do it to this song

[longlivesurfrock]

@VivaLaVieBoheme49 ive said that to very few songs and after i said it to this one, i saw your comment haha

[christlicker]

@VivaLaVieBoheme49 Do it. NOW! I am!

[Krazede]

Paul NEVER liked this song. He hated it was such a hit because he had to sing it so often.

[Zerrith]

This is what I listen to when the tramadol first kicks in :D

On a side note; this version isn't that great it's too slow.

[christlicker]

@Zerrith Fuck Ultram. Dilaudid is waaaaaay better!

[numnuts98765]

my band played this song and a bunch of others by them like mrs robinson last year

Great song! love it!

[JoeBradshaw123456]

Does anyone know the name of the two instruments that are shown near the end? One looks like an accordion with a mouth piece and the other looks like a didgeridoo with a slide part... I would love to know the names of them...

Great SONG!!!

[TheLiquidPig]

@JoeBradshaw123456

The one that looks like a didgeridoo is just a sliding didgeridoo, the accordian like one is a Melodica.

[IceTruckKilla1]

fucking great!

[guitmartiman]

What concert was this from and what year was it! This is the best performance of this song I've ever heard from them!

[clps12]

And there went Rod Schwimmer! 

[VoiceTheActress]

F*cking hippies.

I love them.

[MsLovelovelove11]

Come to watch your flowers growin' Feeling groovy..

[m2mcassady]

Brought back some "Groovy" vibes.

[tyrantsfaceisred]

what on earth is that long bass sounding instrument that dude is playing?!?!

[Lompebroed]

@tyrantsfaceisred It's a pimped didgeridoo, it has a name I don't remember at the moment.:p

[Lompebroed]

@tyrantsfaceisred Ah, it's a didgeribone.:)

[GreD1Shon]

I bet there were drugs involved in the making of this song lol. I still like it

[5102Back]

From the best fucking concert in history ever!!! Why arent there more clips from that one? D:

[meowmixengin]

Candi~ COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[MaryAnnDunham]

Had a blast at this tour.

[TheAR1970]

sooooooooooooooo  grooooooooovy.....

[cafemartini]

After hearing the studio version for so many years, this does sound pretty bad.

[grim107]

@cafemartini The best version of this song is the Central Park one.

[sohltofang]

Not gonna lie, I love this song. Why does everyone now adays have to be so angry? :O Can't we all just get along?

[marilyn1166]

@sohltofang i can answer that question, because there is so much negativity in the world.

[firestartertwistedfi]

@sohltofang tribalism, i think

[GABRIELEsongs]

Looks and sounds like a real cheery and feeling groovy performance :)

(it's got a couple of instruments I've never seen before, but they really do serve the song well with their unique sound and somewhat ' funny 'appearance ... )

[kimatoz3]

This song will NEVER grow old, it's timeless. Paul is perfect, but it is SO great to see Artie! Love you guys. I seen them years ago in Vancouver, B.C. Canada and they were superb, but I kept waiting all night for them to play this little gem, feelin' groovy- finally they did. It made me so happy to hear it live!

[johnnypaq]

feelin groovy



[thegoonist]

this song is waaaay too short

[vigilanteghost]

They have to be. Or deaf

[WoOTfoOT]

The 4 who downrated this songs must be REALLY and then I mean REALLY REALLY retarded

[Nanlev1818]

Just in a Simon and Garfunkel mood and I LOVE this song!

[kmtennischic]

Love them!!!

[iankyoko]

I've never seen a didgeridoo like that. It slides like a trombone.

[ConnDevi88]

This tells a lot about life & a lot about cat massage

[colum1498]

this is what life is all about just been a life

[deluge99]

Legends

[stratman250]

I've never seen a bong played so well.... YES!!!

[bkmurphy64]

Loved seeing y'all in Houston!

[FenianandLimey]

The best NY story about this song: some guy was walking down the street around 59th street and he started whistling "the 59th street bridge song", and some guy behind him started whistling along with him, and that guy was........ Paul Simon.

ONLY IN NEW YORK, the best city in the world.

[MoaiMaea]

I bet he's being there all day, just waiting for someone to come by and start whistling this song.

[mikeytee17]

@FenianandLimey Caerau is the best city in the world mate, hands down u fool.!!

[jamesspeculator]

@FenianandLimey Sounds like BS to me. I wonder if anybody asked Paul Simon if this was true.

[firestartertwistedfi]

@jamesspeculator My goodness you're a killjoy! Surprised you're listening to this at all, surprised you're not reading the stock reports and looking out of your glass window upon what you think of as the sheep below.

[hibeeApostle]

@FenianandLimey

Hardly the best city in the world-how haughty can you be? I've been in NYC 1978 & the people were NOT very friendly-I asked politely about a dozen people to tell me the time (aged 14) as I forgot my watch that day-EVERY single one ignored my request. IGNORAMUS City.

Not a patch on Glasgow or even London!

[thealfonzo1]

@FenianandLimey NO WAY!!!!!!!!!

[etbella3]

@FenianandLimey It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Misktakes will be made, but WTF. Try a little cross-dressing -- it gets you in touch with your feminine (and vastly superior) side.

[MusicMadMaurice]

@FenianandLimey Another New York story but not about this song. Billy Joel saw Elton John in a New York street and they stopped and chatted for a while. When they finished talking they noticed they were surrounded by hundreds of fans! Like you say, "Only in New York".

[quincy90444]

I'd love to see them when they come to Calgary. too bad the ticket prices are insane.

[balbaster]

simplemente grandioso

[mcfly4eva23]

ha i hav to do this song 4 my junior cert!!!!

[thelog1235]

this song is retarded

[imstormie]

This is awful! The worst rendition of this song I have ever heard. Ugh

[peanutbutterandham11]

awesome song! sang in music!

[Lensflare777]

haha he just can't get his hand out of his pants:P

[JinjOMania]

sounds like "everyone knows its butters"

[sevenseasofrhye7]

Everyone knows.. IT'S BUTTERS! (That's me!!)

[stargate121]

What are those crazy instruments the hairy twins are playing?

[spauldingjr8]

@stargate121 one is a melodica and the other is a slide didge

[mbaluman]

I am so Feelin' Groovy!

[sunflowerrevolution]

[nightdaughter1]

[MaryAnnDunham]

Looks like the "Old Friends Tour" I went twice. I first got into their music on 8 track. And finally got the opportunity to see them live. took my son the second time and he enjoyed it as well. A lot different than his heavy metal music

[matilde891]

[TheUncleBastard]

Is this song about tripping on LSD?

[internetkonzept]

No, it's a song about smoking some Marihuana =o)

[TheUncleBastard]

I never saw flowers grow from a lamp post while smoking marijuana

[Gitarpunk]

lol it's funny that this comment and the replies got so many thumbs down as if drugs are taboo in the youtube world.

especially because this song was most likely written about some sort of psychedelic drug anyways..

[TheClash122]

@Gitarpunk for the record, I found those comments to be quite humorous.

[stampiiid]

i feel like sheding a tear. wonerful wonderful song from americas best duo
