Encyclopedia : 5 : 50 : 50W : 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
"50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" is a 1975/76 hit song by Paul Simon, from his album Still Crazy After All These Years.
It was written after Simon's divorce from first wife Peggy Harper and takes a humorous look at ways to end a relationship: "Just slip out the back, Jack / Make a new plan, Stan."
Simon credits studio drummer Steve Gadd with creating the unique drum beat that became the hook for "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover".
It reached number one in the Billboard Hot 100 on February 7, 1976 and remained there for three weeks.
The song has been covered several times, including the translations "30 manieres de quitter une fille" by the french singer Michel Delpech and "50 Tips ihn zu verlassen" by the german singer and actress Ulla Meineke.
