This video is missing some footage at the end, after the song ends you hear what I assume is the crew clapping and cheering, while one of the little boys who was dancing asks Paul if he could hold the guitar for a second, to which Paul says yes and hands it to him (which I always thought was kinda cool).
If anyone has the one with paul simon in the recording studio with a little kid please post it. I think it was on sesame street in the 70's. Probably around the same time this clip was on.
I totally forgot about this until I started watching it and it all came back, The little girl does look and sound like Macy Gray. I seem to remember another sketch in the 70s with Paul and a little girl in a recording studio. Am I crazy or does that exactly exist?
Should Paul Simon be singing this song on Sesame Street of all places? As catchy as this song is-it has some sort of dark meaning that my dad certainly never explained to me.
That little girl on the steps singing along with her own lyrics is adorable.

I think this pre-dates 1977. Looks more like 1973-74 to me. Simon's hair was shorter than this after '75.

Paul Simon cut that poor girl off. Clearly the Mitt Romney of his generation.
Disgusting.
