Paul Simon is an iconic figure in popular American music. From Tom and Jerry to Simon and Garfunkel to his own long solo act (he recently retired from performing), Simon has been around for seemingly forever.
Like a lot of musicians, he’s been on Sesame Street and like a lot of them he has to make accommodations to the kids on the show. Some people play their own material while some play versions for the kids.
Stevie Wonder does an absolutely ferocious version of Superstition for one.
In this clip, Simon wants to do Me and Julio, but the kid sitting on the steps next to him has other ideas.
