Kodachrome Lyrics Artist(Band):Paul Simon
On all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of edu---cation Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination everything looks WORSE in black and white Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome Mama don't take my Kodachrome Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome Leave your boy so far from home Mama don't take my Kodachrome away Mama don't take my Kodachrome Mama don't take my Kodachrome away If you find some error in Kodachrome Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Kodachrome What I heard | Reviewer: wilbur | 9/24/2008 Keep film cameras clicking! | Reviewer: Peter | 8/5/2008 As a photography enthusiast in my mid-40's, I can appreciate both the literal and metaphorical aspects of this song. Trouble is--I don't have a Nikon camera. I own two Minoltas and a Canon. As I die hard film user, I could sing this song to the whole digital industry. It's a song I should have written | Reviewer: Zack | 5/22/2008 There have been many times I have used the second verse of this song to describe my relationships with women. In fact, everything does look WORSE in Black and White because it requires you to use your "sweet imagination" to figure out what color things should be. The mental result is usually more hideous than the real thing. Isn't it ironic? | Reviewer: dbsmall | 2/14/2008 Isn't this really a condemnation of reality? The girls could never match up to his imagination Real color looked better with kodachrome 'brightening' And everything looks worse in b&w. I don't think this is an upbeat song. It's about a guy who'd rather live in dreams than in reality, and who's begging for people to not destroy his illusions, which he's dependent on. Variations | Reviewer: Koji Okamoto | 1/3/2008 Paul used to sing "everything looks WORSE in black and white," then moved to "PALE" and eventually "BETTER", changing the meaning completely the other way around. I am not trying to correct it. Similar things happens once in a while in Paul's songs-- such as the one in his 'Old Friends,' where the old men were "waiting for the sunset" but now "for the sun." As Paul's gotten old, more sympathy to the old is expressed here... I like the ways he revised his lyrics. Kodachrome | Reviewer: rcthomas007 | 10/28/2007 I was listening to an oldies station on Sunday. And for the first time I focused on the lyrics. And for the first time I found the true essence of the song. It hooked me and I feel in love with it. I heard it before when it was first released but on Sunday for the first time I really listend and the rest is history. Wonderful song. | Reviewer: Lupita. | 10/17/2007 I heard of this song because of the movie "Cops and Robbertsons". I liked it very much and everytime listen to that song It reminds me Mr. Jack Palance, who died a year ago. He starred that movie with Chevy Chase. I love kodachrome | Reviewer: chris | 7/3/2007 this song is so cool. I love the lyrics because I can relate to them and they are great. They are such great singers every time I take a picture I think of them. Nikon and Music | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/24/2007 I can't take a picture with my nikon and not have this song pop up in my head! What a Great Poet | Reviewer: Greg | 4/13/2007 Almost everything he did in this time period is fantastic. This was one of his upbeat tunes that just makes you feel good. Sit back and listen to his lyrics close, the man knows how to write.
