Mrs. Robinson

"Mrs. Robinson" is a folk rock song by Simon & Garfunkel, written by Paul Simon and featured on their fourth studio album, Bookends (1968). It gained wider recognition through its association with the 1967 film The Graduate, though the full version was released separately as a single. For electric guitar players, the song offers an accessible yet rewarding fingerpicking-influenced rhythm part, clean melodic lines, and a strong sense of groove that makes it a practical study in folk rock technique.

  • Paul Simon wrote the song after director Mike Nichols rejected two other compositions he pitched for The Graduate.
  • The Graduate soundtrack features only short fragments of the song, the complete version appeared on the Bookends album.
  • Produced by Simon & Garfunkel alongside Roy Halee, the song was released as a single on April 5, 1968, via Columbia Records.
