Paul Simon's marriage had broken up by the mid-seventies. Rather than make it a negative experience, Paul decided to tackle the issue in a humorous vein, and in doing so, managed to come up with this song. He gave his song a basic rhythm, and added one coloring instrument ­ martial drums ­ in order to avoid clutter. He recorded the song in a small studio in New York City, in the heart of Broadway's theater district. The song broke nationally in late December 1975, and spent three weeks at number one in February 1976. It was certified gold on March 11, and remained a best-seller for nearly five months.
