I heard this version once a long, long time ago. I'm glad I found it again.

@defundthewar Alright. Anyway what does your username mean?
-
@mysteryp1998 No. Sinatra was Roman Catholic. He was talking about his close friend Jilly.
-
@limyohwan Ok then.
-
@GregariousGorilla Jilly was a very good friend of him, so he cahnged Jesus; Do you think that Simon & Garfunkel's original version is better?
-
@gregariousgorilla This version changes a number of lines, including replacing "Jesus" with "Jilly" (Sinatra's close friend) and including a new verse directly referring to Mrs. Robinson's activities in The Graduate. Writing in The complete guide to the music of Paul Simon and Simon & Garfunkel, Chris Charlesworth writes that Sinatra's word-change was "senseless", motivated by the refusal of some radio stations to play the song because of the word "Jesus".

@elvismjbeatles143 im sure all those chopped off heads in mexico is just a result of a few mexican guys. I'm sure cartels are a myth as well.
-
@elvismjbeatles143 Organized crime dominated by certain families? Oh yes, a total
myth, like unicorns.
