再介一首Paul Simon的歌曲《Kodachrome》,此曲出於他人第三的音室《There Goes Rhymin' Simon》(1973),曲的成相亮眼,拿下告示牌100排行榜的第2名。
Kodachrome是柯公司所生的一款彩色卷名。Simon原本在一首名《Goin' Home》的歌,而得成《Kodachrome》有趣。歌曲述了是如何的被以及世界著色的事物的欣。歌中:Everything looks「worse」in black and white」,也常被唱「better」,Simon推已不清初歌的原意何?但他常改唱。「黑白」或「彩色」的世界孰者佳?恐要不同的事物主做吧!Simon本身就喜照相,看日本的Nikon相也熟悉,但他唱成「奈康」,有不太。
此曲在英不怎流行,部份原因是英的播台很少播放,尤其是BBC,由於此曲涉及「Kodachrome」「Nikon」,於有「置入性行」嫌疑的歌曲,台是禁播放的。
