Paul Simon - Kodachrome

R.I.P. Kodachrome :( It's the end of an era.
Thanks for all the great comments!
****************************************************************



When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Uhm uhm!
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
O.K.!

YES RIP KODACHROME and EKCO in it's hayday. I am proud to say that I worked for Kodak from 1976-1997 before it was butchered by the man in the Fedora who sits at the helms like Nero and watched while Rome burned.

Paul Simon's never going to write a song about Photoshop.

Goodbye Kodak

[ntense001]

I agree they don't write these songs today, this one talked to you whether you were listening or not. Great lyrics. 

[roverspaul]

would it be fair to say that this is one of the greatest songs of all time? Ps, I am not a photographer!

[iqfrenzy]

This and "Love Me Like a Rock".

[Cheetahcabra]

Wow, this song was written before I was born, and it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard!

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

Anyone else first remember hearing this song from Coneheads. I heard it when I was doing shoppoing today so I decided to look it up

I adore you for uploading
