About The Song
“Mrs. Robinson” is a song by Simon & Garfunkel from their fourth album, Bookends (1968), and was released on April 5, 1968, by Columbia Records. The song’s writing began before the 1967 film The Graduate, which featured fragments of the song. The full version became iconic and synonymous with the film. “Mrs. Robinson” is associated with The Graduate and was played during key scenes in the movie. The song captures the spirit of the 1960s and remains a cultural touchstone. The live version of “Mrs. Robinson” was performed by Simon & Garfunkel at The Concert in Central Park. The lyrics reflect themes of disillusionment and societal changes during the 1960s, particularly during the filming of The Graduate.
