Simon & Garfunkel - The Big Bright Green Pleasure Mahine Lyrics

Plastic fantastic lover by the Jefferson huey

Don’t plug into it!!! Resist!!!

Did they know something?

After so many years, I finally realized the double meaning of "Are you worried 'cause your girlfriend's just a little late?" :-D

What is this machine called pleasure machine?

It's about a television set. Old ones with CRTs gave off a green glow.

That makes sense

Amobarbital and dextroamphetamine
Green capsules.
Beautiful drug just beautiful

Quaaludes

My first assumption was a VW hippy orgy van. My second is weed

A catchy tune, but this is not their finest moment. Strident, hectoring hippie agitprop.

"Strident, hectoring hippie agitprop" - love it; my feeling exactly. Still and as such it catches some of the zeitgeist. (One of them anyhow; it was a fractured, contradictory age)
At the time i was more into Norma Tanega walkin' her cat named dog on a street that rhymes at 6 AM

Francis’ comment sounds like an instance of straw-man reactionary anti-anything-vaguely-liberal HORSESHIT.

This is kind of zappy..most of Paul's songs are much more laid back....but I like this one !

The title of this song is su funny......

tremenda cancion...donde estaba escondida por favor

8 thumbs down knuckleheads need to get a clue!

You've SEEN it advertised in LIFE.....

5 thumbs down....morons

100% gold, unsurpassable

This song started from 19TH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN by The Rolling Stones

Good point! Can’t prove any direct influence, but both have a frantic feel, with lyrics dealing with the pressures of then-modern life.

"have you ever grooved heavy behind anything except love?"

A vibrator?!

Quaaludes

A vastly underrated track 4 people are deaf

Received no radio airplay but it's a great song.

This song is way, way better than"Mrs Robinson".

Gimme two!

This message is SO still relevant.

@Mike Fuller Maybe the song was about the Boston Celtics. Who did dominate the NBA around the time this song was recorded.

@Willie Gordon right, but neither will buying it! Solutions come from elsewhere, for example within.

Is this song about money?" Big bright green pleasure machine".

@deathtamer666 I guess he meant this song is about money.

@kw9919 What if you need a vehicle to get back and forth to work, wouldn't buying a car solve the problem?

Great statement from that part of history.  I was a kid then but I remember the 60's big time!  Catchy tune.

From that part of history? Try focusing on the next political statement or "news" you hear from the corporate media and compare the language to the lyrics. This is exactly the method we've been subjected to 24/7 for the last 50 years, and why so many people are now brainwashed.

Does your group have more cavities than theirs?

munches, Dude. sweet toothed.

Maybe it was the £100 advance from The Seekers, then? Or maybe Paul was as enamored then with rubber balls as Bob Dylan was with railroads??

Good question. But since Paul has always owned his own publishing, I'd say the answer to that is no.

I wonder if Paul's royalty check for "Red Rubber Ball" bounced?

Eleven months later, 7,959 views, and only eight more have stepped up to the plate. The world is absolutely speechless by the shear audacity and exuberance of the ditty.

Bill9696V I love your elocution.

... Prophetic in the 21'st century,EH?

Find youself a more productive job......

"Do your checks bounce higher than a rubber ball?" That's a great line.

ever seen a dealer accept a cheque?

Song knocks me out....

Do figures of authority just shoot you down?
Is life within the business world a drag?
Did your boss just mention that you'd better shop around
To find yourself a more productive bag?
Are you worried and distressed?
Can't seem to get no rest?
Put our product to the test.
You'll feel just fine
Now.
Buy a big bright green pleasure machine!

You better hurry up and order one.
Our limited supply is very nearly gone.
