"The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" is a song by folk music duo Simon & Garfunkel (author: Paul Simon), appearing on their 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. "59th Street Bridge" is the colloquial name of the Queensboro Bridge in New York City. The song's message is immediately delivered in its opening verse: "Slow down, you move too fast".
A popular cover version from 1967 was recorded by Harpers Bizarre, reaching #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their version featured a harmonic choral a cappella section and a woodwind quartet with a flute, oboe, clarinet and a bassoon.
Former Simon songwriting partner, Bruce Woodley, recorded a cover with his band The Seekers on their 1967 album Seekers Seen in Green.
