Paul Simon Forgets His Own Lyrics So He Punishes Himself By Singing His Least Favorite Song (Video)

Paul Simon has been touring for what feels like 100 years, starting as part of iconic duo Simon and Garfunkel, but this year Simon is ready to be done and is making the rounds on his farewell tour.

Of course, someone who’s been in the business and touring that long with decades worth of dedicated and new fans, there has got to be songs that everyone else loves but you just come to dread. For Simon, that song is “The 59th and Bridge Song” otherwise known as “Feeling Groovy.”

Recently during the third show of the tour, in Portland, Oregon Simon forgot the lyrics to “Cool Cool River” and decided to punish himself.

Not only did Simon call himself out for his mistake but decided to completely switch songs and guitars and bust out his least-favorite song.

Needless to say, the crowd loved it, but we are sure it’s just another affirmation for Simon that he’s doing the right thing in wrapping up this whole music thing.
