Most brilliant lyrics ever writen. . . no joke. 
"Mrs Robinson" was recorded/released during the period when the Beatles' "I am the walrus" was extremely popular. The line "goo goo ga-joob" was from that song.
However, most people (almost everyone!) interpeted this to sound like "Coo, coo, ca-choo" which then became a very commom "cautch phrase" that bascically ment anything you wanted it to, based on its contex.

Well, someone's got to go against the tide.
Never have liked this song, any version, and never have liked any of Mr. Reed's other work either...No siree, Bob. 
It may be lyrical genius, but I don't tend to listen to lyrics if I can't make it past the song itself.
I realize my dislike for Lou Reed may be unfathomable to some of you, but before anyone jumps on me and tells me how I just don't "get" it, or I have no taste, or a low IQ, let me toss out this pre-emptive strike:
Pound sand.
I also can not aclimate myself to Lou Reed... try as I might. I even experienced him in concert in the 70's.
As Lou said in his AOL Sweet Jane video: "You are all probably wondering how I based a career on just four chords". It may be lyrical genius, but I don't tend to listen to lyrics if I can't make it past the song itself.

Long Way Home - Tom Waits
Posted 18 years ago by JoeD:
Back in the 70's, I went to a Pocco concert at the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ.
The opening act was Tom Waits.
Most people did not know what to make of him and some started yelling "Pocco...Pocco!"
After a few minutes of this, Tom Waits stopped in mid song and said, "Pocco my ass! I'm here for another half hour and you're gonna listen!"
Long story short....
Tom eventually won the crowd over and got a standing ovation at the end of his set. The crowd even demanded an encore which Pocco allowed.
Tom Waits is not someone most would like to listen to often but, he is a master of the down and out, bumed out blues.
