- ... that Randy Newman's song "The Blues" has been interpreted as a parody of Paul Simon's work, but Simon provided some of the vocals?
- Source: "the song is, in fact, a parody of Paul Simon...in which Mr. Newman lampoons Mr. Simon's fondness for down-and-outers." and from Hilburn's A Few Words in Defense of Our Country "But Simon himself didn't seem to mind the tease because he joined Randy on the vocals."
