Although the album features two versions of "
Mrs. Robinson", neither is the full version as featured on
Bookends, which was composed later.[4] The first consists of relentless, sharp guitar chords, with the "dee-de-dee-dee" sung motif, while the second includes a chorus, before tapering off as it does in the film.[4] The other major song of the album, the 1965 hit "
The Sound of Silence", is used three times in the film. Both songs have been inducted into the
Grammy Hall of Fame (in 1999 and 2004 respectively).[1]
