    Probably not the popular choice but the correct one. Best two person harmonies of all tim. GOAT at what they did.

    I would have gone with Simon and Garfunkel, but I'm probably a bigger Kinks fan that most. Pretty much a 50/50 game here if I was being truly objective, maybe even tilted to Simon and Garfunkel is you factor in record sales in the US.

    S&G are fucking terrible and boring. Their records are like listening to a upper division physics lecture by some Romanian on a Friday night.

    The Kinks kick ass. S&G is like watching paint dry at Pumpy's trailer in Maltby.

    S&G does invoke the desire to commit suicide.

    But this is probably one of the top 5 lyric hooks of all time. Perfect wordsmitthing.

    Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
    A nation turns its lonely eyes to you, wo wo wo
    What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
    'Joltin Joe' has left and gone away, hey hey hey


    Slightly better: Little old lady got mutilated late last night.
