I know of no compunction to choose! (Soon, we'll have our own song.)
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know wo wo wo
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know wo wo wo
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret just the Robinsons affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know wo wo wo
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates' debate
Laugh about it, shout about it when you've got to choose
Every way you look at it you lose
Where have you gone, Joe Di Maggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you woo woo woo
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
"Joltin Joe has left and gone away"
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
I read somewhere that this song ticked off Joe DiMaggio and he was going to sue over unauthorized use of his name or sue for royalties or some such. THen someone sat him down and explained to him that the song held him up as one of America's iconic heroes; and, luckily for Simon and Garfunckel, that placated Joe to the D-i.
Amazing family:
Vincent Paul "Vince" DiMaggio (September 6, 1912 October 3, 1986) was an American Major League Baseball center fielder. During a 10-year baseball career, he played for the Boston Bees (19371938), Cincinnati Reds (19391940), Pittsburgh Pirates (19401945), Philadelphia Phillies (19451946), and New York Giants (1946). Vince was the older brother of Joe and Dom DiMaggio.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_DiMaggio
Dominic Paul "Dom" DiMaggio (February 12, 1917 May 8, 2009), nicknamed "The Little Professor", was an American Major League Baseball center fielder. He played his entire 11-year baseball career for the Boston Red Sox (19401953). He was the youngest of three brothers who each became major league center fielders, the others being Joe and Vince.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_DiMaggio
Of course, the Yankees and the Red Sox had a long time iconic rivalry of mythic proportions. I wonder if it ever affected the relationship of Joe and Dom?

First, I adore Joe. Second, there's this, where he really struts (with Julia Louise Dreyfus, and Michelle Obama, and John Boehner, and Nancy Pelosi, and, and, and)
It's classic, from a previous White House Correspondent's dinner:
Enjoy!
Love Joe! He's a bad assed dude!
