"Bet you didn´t know that Paul Simon made a video for his 1972 hit ´Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard´ - in 1988! Bet you didn´t know it featured Simon in a New York schoolyard shooting hoops with a bunch of street kids, just because he´s so freakin´ down! Bet you didn´t know the video began with a freestyle rap intro from Biz Markie and Big Daddy Kane! Or that it had a cameo from Mickey Mantle, who lip-syncs the chorus and looks as confused as you are!"

Ok, where can I bet? Is there something to win? ;-)

I like that video too. First time I saw it, the image was really small...lol and played badly, but it was still great.

And no, I didn´t know it was for SNL :-D

Paul did do a short video clip for SNL in 1975. It´s of him (short as he is) playing against an extremely tall professional basketball player. It´s so hilarious. And in the end, Paul ends up winning ;)

If I knew how to upload stuff onto the computer, I would send the video :(
