The 59th Street Bridge shuffles up and it triggered an old half memory. This may be area specific but didn’t Simon & Garfunkle do a commercial for The Bronx Zoo? With a song with the same ‘feeling groovy’ vibe?

There is a good chance my mind is playing tricks on me. It’s quite the trickster, my mind is.

Yay! I am NOT crazy.  
Oh wait, this proves nothing, does it?  
Where S&G in the commercials?

Thanks. I remember much more song in the commercial.
