50 Ways to Play that Tune
===
“50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” is a popular song by American singer-songwriter Paul Simon, released in 1975 as the second single from his album “Still Crazy After All These Years.” The song features a catchy melody and clever lyrics that humorously describe various ways to end a romantic relationship. Here’s a summary of some of the ways mentioned in the song:
1. Slip out the back, Jack.
2. Make a new plan, Stan.
3. You don’t need to be coy, Roy.
4. Just get yourself free.
These lines serve as the chorus and are repeated throughout the song. Each line presents a different suggestion for how to end a relationship in a non-confrontational or lighthearted manner. The song’s upbeat tempo and playful lyrics made it a hit upon its release, and it remains one of Paul Simon’s most beloved and enduring songs.
