This day in music history.

June 1, 1968, Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson," hits number one on the charts. The song (featured in the soundtrack of the film The Graduate) contained the line "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio, Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you. What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson. Jolting Joe has left and gone away,"
To which Joe DiMaggio replied "What the hell do they mean? Where'd I go? I'm right goddamned here!"
