他們在1965年，以 The Sound of Silence（沉默之聲） 崛起，後來電影「The Graduate」（畢業生）將之收錄為主題曲，更讓他們成為家喻戶曉的人物。他們分分合合多次，也嚐試單飛，成績雖然不錯，但大眾還是最鍾愛二重唱的他們。
今天選的這首「What a Wonderful World」，是 Art Garfunkel 的作品。很可愛的抒情曲。內容是一個情竇初開的中學生，為他暗戀的女生傾訴衷曲，什麼功課都不管啦，只幻想著能跟這女孩兒在一起，就幸福無比；又想像如果自己品學兼優，女孩一定會愛上他...... 好個腦袋快爆炸的小男生！
我很喜歡這首歌，一方面回想青春年少的各種奇異幻想，一方面讓人胸懷舒暢，洗去一切煩惱垢污。
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
(But I do know)
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
I don't know what a slide rule is for
(But I do know)
But I do know "one and one is two"
And if this one could be with you
(A wonderful world)
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world
Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
But I'm tryin' to be
I think that maybe by bein' an 'A'-student, baby-baby
I could win your love for me
Don't know much about the Middle Ages
Looked at the pictures then I turned the pages
Don't know nothin' 'bout no "Rise and fall"
Don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' at all
(But I do know)
Girl it's you that I've been thinkin' of
And if I could only win your love (oh girl)
What a wonderful, (what a) wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world
