It's driving me mad

I don't know if it happened to any of you. But today, someone made a question that other people had asked me before, and one day I'll get crazy:

He said: "I love the song "Mrs. Robinson, isn't it a beatle song? That's a good one".

They talk and they don't even know that that isn't a beatle song. As far as I know, that song is sung by Simon and Granfunkel.

I looked up to see if there is a part of a Beatle song that say something similar, but I didn't find.

Mrs. Robinson, in my opinion, sounds a LOT like the Beatles. The Fabs have nothing to do with the song and there is no specific reference in the lyrics, but it really does sound very Beatle-esque. The vocals and the guitar and everything (well, not really the lyrics..). The closest thing to a reference (I don't thnk it is) is the song does have a "Coo, coo, ca-choo" line as well as a bunch of "do do do" and "hey hey hey" parts. I think between Hey Jude and She Loves You, people think Beatles when they hear that sort of thing. I can understand someone who doesn't follow music closely but knows the basic Beatle "sound" confusing it as a Beatle song. I love S & G as well and I love Mrs. Robinson. Just be glad they think a GOOD non-Beatle song is a Beatle song

Well, someone once tolod me that IT WAS A FACT that "Yellow Lemon Tree" by Fool's Garden was a Beatles song. mindo you, according to this girl, Fool's Garden did not exist and Yellow Lemon Tree was some sort of sequel to Yellow Submarine.

Yellow Lemon Tree sounds like it would be a good sequal to Yellow Submarine.
Saying that, Cream Tangerine would be a good name for a sequal to Yellow Submarine also. Mmmm......

Some say that the "goo goo ga'joob" (or coo coo ca'choo) phrase from Mrs. Robinson came from I Am the Walrus but that doesn't seem believable; Simon sang the phrase differently. Yet, I Am the Walrus was out 1967 and Robinson 1968...

In my earlier, uneducated years, I used to think that Mrs. Robinson WAS a Beatles song. It is one of the most Beatley sounding songs I've heard. And that whole "goo goo ga-joob" definitely made me think it was a Beatles song. If Mrs. Robinson was indeed done AFTER I Am The Walrus, then I think that perhaps Simon and Garfunkel were referencing to that song.

lol

i've also heard many times that *mrs. robinson* is a beatles song. i've even seen it included in some discographies

Dozens of people had asked me if "Mrs Robinson" was a Beatle song, and when I said "no, it´s not a beatle song" they told me "bahh, you don´t know a thing about those guys, I´m sure that´s a Beatle song!!"

Coo Coo Ca Choo is a bizarre english 'phrase', and its sounds like goo goo ga joob so it must be that.

Yes. And I remember reading "Mrs.Robinson(Beatles cover)" in some MP3's.

<font color="blue"> My basketball coach always used to say that the Beatles made Turn, turn, Turn. I always told her that she was wrong, but she just *knew* that the Beatles sung it. </font>

An it also happens to people that a song that they like very much is a Beatles song, but they don't know it.

The other day, I was singing "The fool on the hill", and a friend of mine said "I like that song very much!". So I told her that it is a Beatles song. She said "Really? I didn't know".
The same happened when I listened to "I've got my mind set on you" by George Harrison. My friend said the same. Now she loves The Beatles

Didn't Mary Hopkin do this or cover it?

A discography of Mary Hopkin I saw did not show the song.

Well, the guitar riff used in the song, which is also in the fade out, is Harrisonic.

I don;t think the 'hey hey hey' is a reference because it's so soft, but then, Paul Simon is like that a bit isn't he?

Then the guitar chord change just before this riff starts, is really Beatles made.

But to me it is a very clear Simon &amp; Garfunkel sound
