It should also be noted that The Monkees had a song called Mr.Webster on the Headquarters Album that was written byTommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
and recorded by the Monkees on February 23, 1967 many months before Paul Simon would consider writing Mrs.Robinson (Mrs.Roosevelt) for the film The Graduate.
The similarities in song structure and rhythm are impeccable and could be considered an obvious influence on Paul Simon's song.
Paul Simon also wrote lyrics to a El Condor Pasa (If I will) which was a Peruvian song composed by Alomia Robles, a Peruvian composer whose family sued Paul Simon for copyright infringement in 1970. The case was finalized after Simon agreed that he had heard the song by Andean musicians in Paris, France and assumed since it was a traditional Andean song that he could use it (exploit without impunity).
The decision went towards the Robles Family in Peru.
Paul Simon would face further intellectual property issues with the Garceland LP in eth 1980s when he worked with South African musicians.

An explanation for the reason that Mrs. Robinson was attracted to Benjamin in The Graduate could be that she was longing for something that she could not have, and wanted to be with someone younger.
