was written by Paul Simon, and  It made #13 on the Billboard Hot 100; the Bangles cover did much better, being one of the few cases where a cover of a Simon & Garfunkel song did better than the original.

As Bangles' singles go, this one was only beaten for chart performance by Manic Monday and Eternal Flame. If you check out the Simon & Garfunkel version, the Bangles really improved on the song, as if it should have been written for them all along.
