Kodachrome
I have loved this song for a load of years (trust me I,m 60 and remember when it was released) Its like the rest of Rymin Simon, the greatest album ever!!!!!!!!!

I play these songs when I gig... not as good as the real Paul though

Something So Right

xx

Idk how you can tell us what this song is about when you yourself are not Paul Simon, how can you say that we want kadachrome for your reasoning when Simon himself has changed the lyrics over the years from "everything looks worse in black and white" to "everything looks better black and white." Stop coming up with your theories when they have no weight to it.

Can anyone tell me what the words are that are sung so quicley at the end of Kodochrome? I sing the song and want to make sure I am completely tru to the song instead of mumbling something. I thatnk you in advance to the person who can tell me!

This song is about pop culture. It's about how our minds work on an individual basis and how that translates into our culture. We tend to only remember the good times, and our culture reflects that. The sitcom is the perfect example. 1/2 hour of family goodness every week. Of course, the reality might not exactly measure up to that but we don't want reality, we want kodachrome. It's a brilliant lyric, it's had me thinking for 30 years.

Here's what the song is really talking about.

This dude is married now. (I you took all the girls I knew when I was single)

His sexual needs are not being met by his wife but he doesn't cheat on his wife physically with other women.

Instead he takes pictures of hot chicks and then looks at them and uses his "sweet imagination" while he um satisfies his sexual desires by himself.

His wife who he calls "Mama" in this song is not happy about his practice of taking photos of girls and then doing 'you know what with the photos' and she wants him to stop I.e. Mama wants to take his kodachrome away.

He is worried that if his wife does put a stop to his picture taking then he will cheat on her for real.

This is a very nice popsong and all together expresses a deep and honest rejection of morale and asthetic principles and intellectual dissection in favour of immediate perception of eternal truth and happiness.
At least i think so.

Always loved this song as it is part of history. The many meanings others may think this song is about are very interesting but takes nothing away about the fact it comes from a simplier time in the past when every second word was not about killing, breaking the law and screwing. Oh, the music had more than one beat. Still feel privileged to grow up in a era when the song writing made a personb feel good.

This song is so annoying when a person doesn't know what the hell he's saying. OH! Kodachrome! What the fuck is that?
Excuse me, but this song needs to die, and be catalogued for those people who would like to unbury the true meaning and essence of this song.

When I was young, this was a fun song one summer. I think it is silly to make up dramatic nonsense about its meaning. Its real meaning is related to my title: Ka-Ching! was the sound made by old manual cash registers, and symbolizes the TONS of money Paul Simon made from a song that he recognized as catchy enough to keep people singing it, and disk jockeys to play it. It's like the top singers today--it's all about MONEY, guys!

There were two main types of film when simon wrote that song: Ektachrome, which required less light, but usually produced pictures on the blue/green side, and Kodachrome, a much slower film, but one that absorbed and reproduced more vivid colors. Memories are always brighter than reality, which is what I think he says here. Long live Simon and Garfunkel, and long live Kodachrome!

Paul Simon was shopping for a new camera and the sales associate in the camera store told him if he wrote a song about a name brand camera that he'd probably get a free one. Then the idea hit him, and he wrote the song about a Nikon camera and then he figured he'd include Kodachrome film, that way he'd get free film for life.

If I ever write a song it's gonna be about TacoBell. Free taco's for life! Whooo Hoooo!!!!

I'm kind of surprised at some of the interpretations here, which don't make anything of the fact that he refers to "when I was single".

I take this song to be about the desire of a married man to hang on to his memories from his girling-around days, which like Kodachrome are a little brighter than reality was. I assume that the 'mama' is his wife, who he resists being tied down by. His former girl friends, brought together now, are seen in black and white because after marriage women are either his wife or not his wife...without all the subtle possibilities that suggest themselves about every girl you know when you're single.

A Fantastic song whatever meaning you attribute to it altho I prefer a more literal interpretation. However with Kodak finally pulling the plug on Kodachrome this week it takes on a new significance. Paul has written very few bad songs and his alliterative skills are second to none a true songsmith possibly the twentieth centuries best. Kodachrome has always been a favourite of mine and now it sit's nearer the top. Shame he didn't have a Canon however praps it's artists licence as Nikon scans better esp with the american pronounciation. This should be in anyones top 100 tunes.

I read in an article in GQ about 3 years ago that Paul Simon played the bassoon in high school and took a photography class and had to develop film in the school dark room. He lost his virginity to a homely girl one night after school. The Nikon was a school camera, and Kodachrome was the type of camera that hustler used for porn. He didn't want his mom to take his hustler magazines away. Not really appropriate subject matter for decent humans.
