Irreverent Agnostic Jerk
Before you harshly judge me . . . think about this:
This song was recorded in 1980, under the oppressive forces of an industry that demanded Disco, for God's sake. Not that I'm casting undue stones at Disco. But this was a jazzy attempt at being stylish, with a bunch of guys who probably wished they were playing something else . . .
But God, I love this song and this rendition.

YouTube - ‪Paul Simon 1980 One Trick Pony‬‎
He makes it look so easy, look so clean,
he moves like God's immaculate machine;
He makes me think 'bout all these extra moves I make,
and all these herky-jerky motions,
and the bags of tricks it takes,
to get me through my working day . . .
He's a one-trick pony . . .
