* LaserGuidedKarma: According to Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Robinson only agreed to come to the show to watch him fail, and even had the nerve to angrily leave during the middle of his amazing performance. However, when Mr. Robinson draws out the "me" part of his song, his voice is so loud that it cracks several pieces of glass, including the front window of Mrs. Robinson's car. This causes her to lose sight and control of her car, thus crashing into a street light while the air bag inflates on her.
