Yes.

Paul Simon can't wait all day for that girl to finish singing her silly made up song.

Hell yes!

Such a subversive song for a children's show.

While the lyrics leave no doubt that what the narrator and "Julio" did was illegal, the exact nature of the illegal act remains in dispute.

Popular theories:

- The narrator and Julio met by the schoolyard to fight each other

- The narrator and Julio committed vandalism at the school

- The narrator and Julio were caught smoking weed

- The narrator and Julio were engaged in some anti-war activity

In an interview, Simon hinted the criminal act might have been sexual in nature.

Other theories based on this now include:

- The narrator and Julio paid a hooker for sex (a "Rosie, the queen of Corona" is referred to in the lyrics)

- The narrator and Julio had sex with a female classmate (also could have been the "Rosie" referred to in the lyrics)

- The narrator and Julio were having sex with each other

Simon is deliberately ambiguous and never specifies, but the crime must have been pretty awful for the narrator's own mother to turn him in to the cops.

Simon should have been a regular on the show

Delightful

"In 1988, Simon released a video for the song to promote his greatest hits compilation, Negotiations and Love Songs. The video features rappers Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie, basketball player Spud Webb, baseball legend Mickey Mantle, and football coach/commentator John Madden."
