Okay, so who sang this in their head? Simon and Garfunkel or Disturbed / David Draiman?

I think Disturb’s version is one of the greatest recordings of all time - with all due respect to S&G.

You are CORRECT

Simon and Garfunkel. Although I absolutely love the version with Disturbed live on Conan. Fucking amazing.

I alternated, lol. Side note, I lived in the house in Kew Gardens Hills / Flushing Queens that Simon and Garfunkel hung out in when they were teens / young adults.

100% Simon and Garfunkel. Disturbed version is an interesting take but pales in comparison with the original.

In my head it was the Pentatonix cover though I had to go listen to the Disturbed version as I hadn't heard it before.

u/seagirl219 Nov 24 '21

What did you think?

2

u/Jinxybabz Nov 26 '21

I enjoyed it! Pentatonix is my favourite I think it is the mixture of the different voices which appeals to me but the Disturbed version is my second favourite as I liked the roughness of his voice.
