Simon and Garfunkel/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: "Richard Cory" (the song) is much more well-known these days than "Richard Cory" (the poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson that the song is based on).
 * Covered Up: "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)", which is just Simon's lyrics sung over the Los Incas version of the famous Peruvian folk song "El Condor Pasa" by Daniel Alom Ã­a Robles. Similarly, "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" adds new lyrics sung in counterpoint to the original folk ballad.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: "The Boxer", "Cecilia"... Heck, let's just include most of their catalog.
 * Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Tons of interpretations of "The Boxer" say that its refrain of "Lie la lie" means something significant (e.g.: that the singer is actually lying about his whole tale). Paul Simon has gone on record as saying that he just couldn't think of any words to sing there.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel - "The Sun is Burning"
 * Soundtrack Dissonance - "Seven O'Clock News/Silent Night". Big time.
