This should definitely be on the "outdated lyrics" list - Kodak stopped making Kodachrome film in 2009, and there's only *one* lab left in the entire world that still processes it (Dwanye's Photo in Kansas).
Kodachrome movies and photos from the 1930s show almost no deterioration or color fading. Will our DVDs, SD cards, ink-jet prints, and hard drives still be readable 70 years from now?

If I wrote this, I would say this
"When I think back on all the crap I learned in MIDDLE SCHOOL, it's a wonder I can think at all."
Middle School almost murdered me.

If you haven't listened to his album "Graceland" then you are doing yourself a disservice. If you don't like it, then you don't like music. It has consistently made critics' "Best Albums of all time" lists and for very good reason. Simon and Garfunkel were amazing, but Paul really unleashed after the break-up.

I went to High school with Paul Simon.I learned THE SAME CRAP! I remember all the crap we learned. ALGEBRA ?: I NEVER EVER EVER used it again. X = Y = total Bullshit!
FRENCH: Conjugating verbs? I speak, He speaks, They speak? Hey guess what? I CAN'T speak it, because NOBODY SPEAKS IN CONJUGATION!!!
They speak in CONVERSATION!!
After 4 years of that French crap ( which I still can't speak) , I taught MYSELF to speak FLUENT spanish in 3 WEEKS with the help of a phonetical guide called "SPANISH FOR TRAVELERS"
So much for Forest Hills High School!!!
VIVA PAUL SIMON!!!!

Actually, while Kodacolor was a color negative film, Kodachrome is a color positive slide film, available since 1935. At the time of the writing of this song, it was widely appreciated by photographers for its saturated colors, especially when underexposed an f/stop or so.
Kodachrome was a type of color reversal film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1935. It was one of the first successful color materials and was used for both cinematography and stills photography. Because of its complex processing requirements, the film was sold process-paid until 1954 in the United States where a legal ruling prohibited this. Elsewhere, this arrangement continued. For many years it was used for professional color photography, especially for images intended for publication in print media. Because of its complex processing and the widespread transition to digital photography, Kodachrome lost its market share, its manufacture was discontinued in 2009 and film processing ended in 2010.
It was really nice film, but expensive.
cool
I just found "The Sounds of Silence"
Looking on this website, sad they broke up.
