Something We Can ALL Agree On-This is The CREEPIEST Song EVER! | Professor of Rock

Описание: Up next is our final countdown of our top song of each year countdown…We’ve covered every year from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and we have one left. Can you guess the final year? It was a monumental year, including Janis Joplin, a nervous legend who vomited every take she did while recording a song that out did any male rocker of the time…also the last great song, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay from Otis Redding who died in a plane crash just after releasing his signature tune, as well as a psychedelic classic Pictures of Matchstick Men that wouldn’t have happened if the lead singer liked his mother in law... even a little bit. Then there’s the famous song by The Beatles, Hey Jude, with a secret cuss word that I got in big trouble for even mentioning on my radio show, for fear of getting FINED by the Big boys. As well as the creepiest song of all time, Tiptoe Through the Tulips, sung by the weirdest pop star of all time, Tiny Tim. It’s the countdown of the Top 11 Songs of 1968…NEXT on Professor of Rock.

It was an intense year with the deaths of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy…Richard Nixon shockingly winning the Presidency, and the infamous Tet (rhymes with pet) Offensive escalated the war in Vietnam. At the movies, Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey fascinated film goers, and in music, it was a year of wild improvisation and psychedelia, and some of the greatest tracks of the Rock Era. Can you guess the year? We're taking the time machine back to 1968….

Our countdown of the Top 11 Songs of 1968 begins with “Mrs. Robinson” by Simon & Garfunkel at #11: The summer of ’68 was a time of social upheaval, cultural shifts, and rock bands pushing boundaries. It was during that vibrant era that Simon & Garfunkel released "Mrs. Robinson," a song that would become one of the most iconic tracks of their career—and a staple of American pop culture: “Mrs. Robinson” was originally written for the soundtrack of the film The Graduate, a movie that perfectly embodied the anxieties and rebellious spirit of its time. Director Mike Nichols approached Simon & Garfunkel to create a song that reflected the film’s themes of youthful disillusionment and societal change. They initially penned "Mrs. Robinson" as a playful, slightly satirical tribute to the film’s character, Mrs. Robinson—an older woman who symbolizes temptation and societal expectations.

“Mrs. Robinson” was actually recorded very quickly—just a few days before the film’s release. Paul Simon famously said that the lyrics were inspired by a mix of personal observations and the cultural atmosphere of the late '60s, with lines that subtly referenced the movie's characters and themes but also carried deeper meanings about rebellion and disillusionment. One of the most memorable parts of Paul’s composition is the “koo koo kachoo, Mrs. Robinson” line. Paul actually lifted that from “I Am the Walrus” by The Beatles, except he misheard John Lennon’s lyric, mistaking “goo goo goo joob” as John wrote it, for “koo koo achoo”.

He turned a beatles misheard lyric and turned it into a number one hit, if you remember, Bobby Hart did the same thing with Paperback writer think they were saying take the last train…and turned that into the #1 smash Last Train to Clarksville… 2 #1s from misheard lyrics from rival bands…
