Simon & Garfunkel - At The Zoo descargar videos gratis
"At the Zoo" was one of Simon's and Garfunkel's single releases in 1967.
The song is one of Paul Simon's many tributes to his hometown of New York City. The narrative tells the story of a trip to the Central Park Zoo, perhaps under the influence of drugs; when the singer reaches the zoo, he anthropomorphizes the animals in various amusing ways, with a resulting cynical eye towards human life. Such statements as "elephants are kindly, but they're dumb," "antelopes are missionaries" and "pigeons plot in secrecy" reflect more about man than they do about the menagerie. The song was licensed in advertisements for the Bronx Zoo in the late 1970s.

When the lyrics were adapted into a children's novel, the line "The Zookeeper is very fond of rum" was retained. But the image showed the zookeeper patting a happy money on the head. The monkey wore a collar with his name "Rum" on it.8 years ago

Well, yes, elephants in the wild and in zoos (but less so since they have less room for maneuver) are extremely intelligent. However, those in the Republican Party ... well, you know that Paul Simon was impeccably prescient in his put down.9 years ago

I used to sing this to the kids when they were little. When we get to the zookeeper I always do an Eric Morecambe raised-arm-disguising-the-upturned-bottle thing. Not sure the kids have ever worked out why :-)Videos Relacionados
