anecdote: i ranted so much about how much i hate simon and garfunkel that my friends promised to play simon and garfunkel at my funeral.

this song's great though. probably because they didn't write it.

"In the middle ages, people didn't usually take credit for songs or other works of art they made, so the writer of Scarborough Fair is unknown. The song was sung by bards (or shapers, as they were known in medieval England) who went from town to town, and as they heard the song and took it with them to another town, the lyrics and arrangements changed."

tell that to the RIAA, who insist that music can only exist if musicians give their copyright to a major label and have the incentive of being dropped at any moment after spending their advance.

Thanks for the info, your upvote despite your apparent hatred of S & G, and the link, MINK (haha, rhymes). I was aware that it's some sort of folk tune that was passed on. I guess I should have said that Simon and Garfunkel wrote all the music for the movie EXCEPT for this tune, which was stolen legally from some dead minstrels from the middle ages, with no fear of legal retribution because the music is public domain. Ah well...
