Simon & Garfunkel – The 59th Street Bridge Song

Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy ... yes, you're humming it too now aren't you.

We had a bit of a Simon & Garfunkel craze in sixth form and this carefree song always provided a nice antidote to all the miserable goth stuff that I spent too much time wallowing in. I particularly remember playing it first thing in the morning on my 18th birthday.

Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy ... yes, you're humming it too now aren't you.
