Line 43:
* [[I Just Want to Be You]]: ''"Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory."''
* [[In the Style Of]]: Their early recordings as Tom and Jerry were a inspired by the [[Everly Brothers]]' sound (whose song "Bye Bye Love" was covered on the ''Bridge over Troubled Water'' album).
** "A Simple Desultory Phillipic" is a very self-conscious pastiche of [[Bob Dylan]].
* [[Intercourse with You]]: "Cecilia", "Baby Driver"
* [[Lesser Star]]: Former [[Trope Namer]]. Art Garfunkel has been characterized as the junior partner in the duo, and there is truth in that, as Simon both played guitar and wrote all the music while Garfunkel only sang. However, Garfunkel had the better voice and Simon and Garfunkel's harmonies were the reason for their unique sound, and Art Garfunkel had a big role in the vocal arrangements. (One way to appreciate Garfunkel's role in the group is to listen to Paul Simon's "American Tune" and then listen to the Simon and Garfunkel version recorded during the concert in Central Park).
