Paul Simon - Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard [Album Version]

[theirishjoe420]

It's a song about a guy dealing weed to him guys. It's nothing sexual.

[TheYuvalstav]

My dog is called Julio, so i always imagine some kid taking a dog for a walk. Then I read that Paul Simon said it was something sexual... 0_0

[awashbilly]

this song is obviously about Julio Jones performance against the Colts

[crackE262]

Idk its him and another dude down by the school yard...maybe Julio is riding more then just the teeter totter cghghrrr

[kRichForty]

nice song

[JohnathenParadox]

anyone else think the crime was maybe just smokin' a j?

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@JohnathenParadox or fucking rosie?

[psychopathiification]

@KantorekBaumerB14 ...fucking rosie..? is fucking an adjective or a verb there...?

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@psychopathiification I'm sorry, perhaps he was having intercourse with Rosie?

[psychopathiification]

@KantorekBaumerB14 haha got it

[dolfanlinda]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! Happy Birthday Paul Simon 70 and still singing!

[mattheweshultz]

@MelikeFoW Actually Paul Simon has stated "I have no idea what it is... " When asked "What the Mama Pajama saw" Its up to the individual to determine the crime.

[cooldylanVEVO]

The beginnings of multiculturalism?? maybe not beginnings ...Love the song, not matter what the politics can't help but love the reality they put to joy and rhythm.

[BrianaAsWorld]

i thought this was simon and garfunkel? just paul simon?

[chimmister]

@BrianaAsWorld Garfunkel died long ago :/

[tennesseejed69]

@chimmister who told you such nonsense. Art Garfunkel is alive and well, or is that his ghost on tour?  ;o).

[chimmister]

@tennesseejed69 Well... He's dead to me O.O

[tennesseejed69]

@chimmister Oh dude such negative thoughts...Everything in this world is built on past occurances (butterfly effect). If Art was not part of the duo, Paul Simon MAY never have made it.

[Krzyzosiakinator]

Rumour has it that Julio was a dog.

[GordonMorrice]

How awesome it must be to be Paul Simon. Or Art Garfunkel for that matter!

[melikeFoW]

Its about a homosexual experience julio had

[DinosaurM1911]

@melikeFoW Yes. Yes it is. The sad thing for you is how AWESOMELY homosexual it was. We all know.

[museack]

@melikeFoW

What a perv.

[MrAIRBORNEDAD]

this song brings memories of 9th grade

[VC3NTS]

He missmelanie2006 shut the fuck up

[VC3NTS]

What's this song supposed to be about

[iberaha]

Julio, the Mexican homie...fuck yeah!

[suzieque469]

I love this song, it is always my favorite.

[haltoner]

Heard this on 6 music this morning, what a cracking little tune!

[layzdaze]

1972 was a very good year - for music and for first love. :)

[ideagirlconsulting]

cool posting the news on my toronto travel blog ;)

[barenuku]

Hmmmm....What EXACTLY was he and Julio doing down by the schoolyard? Drugs? Crime activity? Sex, maybe? Such has been the unanswered question ever since I first heard this song years ago.

[eurocrime]

@barenuku

Not sure where I read it but I think "Julio" was slang/code for weed.

[MissMelanie2006]

@barenuku You people make me sick always thinking something insidious is going on .It's a fricking song for Christ's sake.It's by one of the most illustrious song writers in the last 50 yrs too.Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eekolu]

@MissMelanie2006 .......He's referring to the LYRICS, madam. "It was against the law", seems as though something illegal is being described, don't you think?

[BanzaiM50]

@MissMelanie2006 You do know some of the best artists *gasp* used drugs and talked about pretty crazy shit in their songs? Listen to something other than the radio edits for once, the bad stuff is the best stuff. And like Eekolu said, "it was against the law" indicates something counter to the law, IE: insidious.

[Lightshadowfish]

Freaking aswome haha I love the beat and his voice totally sets the mood :)

[rudolfje52]

See me and hoolio down the schoolyard.

Sounds like how they pronounce San Jose:

San Hosay.

[TheLeaver1234]

@rudolfje52 Uh... yea, because they are both Spanish words, and the J in Spanish makes the H sound.
