The Lemonheads – Mrs. Robinson
1996 · 1990s · · · · Directed by Jesse Peretz
The Lemonheads’ 1992 cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson” injects a punk-infused energy into the classic track, aligning with the alternative rock surge of the early ’90s. Released to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the film “The Graduate,” the song became one of the band’s most recognized hits. Directed by Jesse Peretz, the music video features Evan Dando navigating canals interspersed with scenes from the original film, creating a nostalgic yet contemporary visual narrative.
