“Baby Driver” #101 4/19/1969

The B-side of Simon and Garfunkel’s current single almost snuck into the Hot 100 on its own. It’s a bouncy little tune, one that had nothing to do with a 2017 action film with the same title other than its use over the closing credits. Much different than S&G’s musical contributions to “The Graduate.”

Got to love those double entendre lyrics.
This sort of "deviant" streak Paul Simon often had is what made him seem
more "human" than his other contemporary "beat poet" style singer/songwriters, who focused mainly on analytical lyrics and social/political commentary but nothing personal or "first person account".
