Back to 1973 and Rhymin' Simon. I don't know what depresses me more about this song; that Kodachrome has gone the way of the dinosaur or that no one writes wonderful music like this anymore. Thank God for vinyl records!

But either way, it is a wonderful song, and if it does not set your foot to tapping you may need to go see a doctor.......

Anyone know the history? Was he contracted to do this song for Kodak?

Not to the best of my knowledge. I don't ever rememeber seeing it used in a commercial for Kodak or anyone else, but then again that was 40 years ago when tha song came out (depressing isn't it?) Paul Simon used to have such a knack of writing songs about seemingly mundane things and turning them into huge hits.
