Talk:Bookends (album)

message: Re: Lennon's "Walrus"; Lennon sings "Goo Goo Ga Joob" rather than "Coo Coo Ca Choo"...
Just being pedantic -- Shouldn't the second definition be under Bookend? -- Zoe
:I don't think we need it at all.  That's what wiktionary is for.  I guess if there's cultural or social or scientific or historical scrutiny of bookends, then... (I'm probably being a cultural philistine.  Good.) Tuf-Kat

thread_title: "Overs" Recording Date

message: How can this be described as a concept album when half of it is a film soundtrack without thematic unity? — O'Dea (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Concept album"? 

message: At the very end of the album (after the Zoo)there is a very faint backwards message - I suspect it is one of their other songs being played backwards. Does anyone know what it is or know the story behind this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.113.232 (talk) 02:36, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Simon's Age 

message: :Bookends is a concept album that explores a life journey from childhood to old age. Side one of the album marks successive stages in life, the theme serving as bookends to the life cycle. Side two largely consists of unused material for The Graduate soundtrack.
This is apocryphal. Basically it's nonsense. And as for side 2 'largely' consisting of unused material: Simon had only three songs for Nichols, only one (Mrs Robinson) was used, one unused is 'Overs' which is on side ONE, so this is more rubbish. It'd sure be nice if WP writers could occasionally curb their immature enthusiasm and, for now, it'd be satisfactory if someone could correct the above. Thank you.
