== Writing and composition ==
"The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" was written by Simon while he was in London apparently watching his clothes in a washing machine. It takes a cynical view of the advertising on Madison Avenue in New York City. The song also includes references to the hippie movement during the Vietnam War as well as a series of unanswered personal questions.〔 The lyrics are "blisteringly satirical" and aimed at various popular culture targets. In the original album notes, Ralph J. Gleason said this song and "The Dangling Conversation" were criticisms of television and radio commercials. The notes for ''The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964–1970)'', a 2001 release of ''Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme'' and four other albums, called the track "Simon's caricature of consumer culture". The song's verses arpeggiate in full 1—3—5—8—3 on the I chord.
