Paul Simon ran the train on a chick

In all seriousness, how else would you interpret "Me and Julio down by the schoolyard" ?
"Me & Julio Down By The School Yard"
The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said oh if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schootyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
In a couple of days they come and
Take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard

I always thought it was drugs, but you might be right. I used to be a pretty big fan of Simon's and have read quite a few interviews but have never seen one where he specifically addresses this song.

You are right, he refuses to explain this song. Maybe Julio is a pet name for his penis. Haha.
Posted on 9/27/14 at 10:36 am to Snatchy
Whatever's going on, I'm assuming the girl is underage, and that's the issue.
Posted on 9/27/14 at 10:48 am to Snatchy
I've always interpreted it as either about drugs or a gay sex encounter.

I don't get the drug conclusion. Also, urban dictionary says
The Queen of Corona
Corona is a poor neighborhood in Queens NY.

There's been a lot of discussion and debate about what that means and what Simon intended to the song to be about. I think in interviews, he has admitted that he doesn't really now and just left it vague.

He might not be queer but I guarantee you he would hold it till the swelling goes down.

Drugs was always kind of my "default" interpretation (i.e. dealing dope to schoolkids). However, the presentation of some of the other arguments in this thread are equally or even more likely. TBH I never really gave it a whole lot of thought.

He married Princess Leia in her prime...
and then dumped her after a year.
It was the same year Lucas decided to introduce the ewoks to the franchise. Coincidence? I think not. Simon saw the road Carrie was heading down. Dude is a genius.

I've always been a little surprised that Weird Al never did "Me and Cornholio Down By the Schoolyard"

So you think gay sex?
Posted on 9/27/14 at 11:13 pm to Snatchy
No matter what it's a good song

No, I really don't. I still kinda think it's selling dope to kids.
I've just never known Yankovic to turn down such a gift-wrapped opportunity. Could've worked in some Beavis & Butthead stuff as well.

And married Brikell back when she was young... He ain't gay, he's a pimp.

I forgot that he married her. Damn Paul Simon is the man. I bet he would bitch slap Garfrickle.

Paul Simon spent a lot of time recording in Lafayette. Even wrote a song about it.
In fact, he was one of the founding members of Festival International de Lousiane.

Really. That is a cool, I wish he would come back.

I never knew that but hearing That Was Your Mother always reminded me of Festival International.
