S&J: Paul Simon Parody

Alas Smith & Jones: Paul Simon Parody
(Norwegian subtitles)

Here are the lyrics (transcribed from the video):

I was talking to a girl at a cinematographer's party
She said, "Aren't you the guy who sings like a castrate?"
I said, "No, that wasn't me, that was Art Garfunkel"
She said, "Well, if that was Art, I know what I like"

Took a taxi to my business manager's place, and
He had a video deal for me and Chevy Chase planned
He played a South African tape as he loosened his waist band
I said, "Hey, what's the album called?"
He said, "Memphis"

Nice to be here
In the New York City
Stayin' at the Plaza Hotel
Plaza Hotel
It must be costing him a fortune
Paul Simon
Aaaahhh
What a nice man
Shame about his lyrics

It was on Broadway
There was a brown bag blowin' by the bible bashing buskers by the back of Bloomingdale's
There was a big bang
The bell boy with a beer belly began babblin' 'bout the baptists and the boil-in-the-bag baby with the baboon's bum

This is a man who sings very quickly
Very, very quickly indeed
Perhaps that's why the curly geezer left him

In a loose amalgamation of shiatsuists and analysts, behavioral psychologists and aroma therapists and homeopaths and dermatologists and philatelists and Woody Allen, baby

You can call me crazy
You can call me anything at all
Then I call my analyst
When I call my analyst, he'll call me Paul

A man walks down the street
Or maybe it's two men
Maybe it's not a street at all
Maybe I should start this song again

These words are hopeless
No rhyme or reason
I'd like a blast of
Whatever he's on

Lithanies and epiphanies
Equations and evasions
There's arch angels in the architraves
And a Ph.D. in poetry and

Hopeless, this man is hopeless
Is that curly geezer still around?
(Get him back here)
Hopeless, hopeless
We preferred him doing "Homeward Bound"
(One more time)
Hopeless, this man is hopeless
Is that curly geezer still around?
Hopeless, hopeless
(..fade..)

@mcouzijn Great post.

The biggest compliment for a parody maker is when the scorn's object's FANS love the parody .And I do! Like someone else said, it took a lot of love, intelligence and fanmanship to create such creepily similar PS-lyrics, not to mention all the other inside jokes. If you like this bid, you might like this too 'Simon & Garfunkel parody by Mke & Thomas' here on YouTube.

Paul Simon is so great!! I love his music so much!! Great musician he is. This video is pretty cool because I can tell this man must have been a fan, to make those similar lyrics.
