@heatherzinha That itchy stuff? I remember it. The junk they put on little girls to make them look like flowers. I think if Simon had worn crinoline, he'd have changed the lyrics.

When I was a young Marine, just out of Basic in the early 80's, I used to fall asleep to Simon and Garfunkel almost every night. We had racks in an open squadbay where there were typically at least a few other Marines milling about. To help drown out whatever noise there was, I would have my cassette player going with headphones on until I fell asleep. It sounds silly, looking back. Their music had such an impact on a young Marine's life. Who would have guessed.

@brelfan crinoline is the stiff fluffy net fabric that makes a dressy dress stick out. when i was a girl. as a little girl, i wore scratchy, starched crinoline petticoats (slips) under my dresses for that fluffy look. in high school, for proms, when fluffy dresses were still popular, it would be the underskirt and possibly a finer version over the dress. for more fluff. it's a very romantic element of the song.

My gosh, how I love this song! And, good Lord, what an idiot camera man! He keeps it on Art when Paul is playing the guitar break then moves to Paul when Art is singing the climatic moments!

I'm not sure what crinoline is or why a dream would be clothed in it, but the words are pretty, the sentiment is lovely... just young love to me... and it was masterfully sung by Garfunkle. I assume the cameraman cuts to Simon at the close because he's the more emotional of the two toward the end. About the "fat mug" comment, sorry, Simon was a serious cutie pie. Full mouth, gorgeous thick thighs... all anybody needs is two beautiful feautres and they're sex pots in my book.

16 folks don't like this? And they can't keep it to themselves?
When my daughter was small, she was scared of the night, and I would go in and spend time with her. She had a S&G Greatest Hits CD, and this was one of the songs that she would go to sleep listening to. Peaceful bliss, it was our special time together. She's a teenager now, they grow up too quick, but this song just stops me and transports me to those special moments with her.

You could have heard a pin drop when Art was singing. It reminds me of the Greek legend of Orpheus, whose music was so beautiful that the wind stopped blowing and the water stopped running in order to listen to it.
