My father's absolute favorite. He passed away and when I visit his grave, I sit down and play this video while there.
You and I both!💕
@@kerrivaccaro441😢❤
mine too!!!!! i come back to this when i miss him.. i know hes listening, its just a great upbeat song.. i miss my dad... im an only child and he was a Vet..
❤🎉❤
😍😍
When my dad used to “be in charge” on Saturdays while my mum worked, instead of making the beds as we were supposed to, he would blast this song and we would bounce THE LIFE out of the bed before making it. One of my most treasured memories.
He passed July 2021.
My heart sings when I hear this. I miss you Dad. My wounded warrior 🍀☘️💪🏼❤️☀️
Sounds like an amazing thing to have had, RIP to your, and my father, take care! =)
Such beautiful way you ended your comment! Hope that memory keep on bringing you joy like those warm sheets at cold nights :)
My God you made me cry , beautiful moments
God bless your dad, what a great memory!
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Pls remember, the precious Paul Simon began performing about 1958. Wotta genius.
This is one of those songs that will put a smile on your face, no matter what you are going through, at the moment.
this is true.
@@someonedoesnthaveithappy new year this was one of the last songs of the evening I heard

So true
My Dad's name was Al. He loved this song. Even after he got dementia, he'd still tell people that they could call him Al. This song means a lot to me.
Amazing what we can retain even with dementia. Great story. Sorry abt your dad but it sounds like he had happy memories.
@@arribaficationwineho32 Thank you for the kind words.
@@montesace my husband had it and has died. He was very happy in his dementia….kind, appreciative and knew family until he died or acted like he did. I love when music connects us to good memories.
@arribaficationwineho32 It was a long, hard road, unfortunately for my Dad. I had to become his guardian. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's, and that turned into dementia. He was a beautiful man and didn't deserve the suffering he had to endure. It is the little things that mean so much after losing someone dear to us . Thank you for sharing. It's nice that after all this time, this song still means so much to so many.
@@montesace thank you for the response. I am glad you shared music with him and so glad he had you.
Saw him many years ago live. He ended with this song....TWICE. He literally ended it, crowd going crazy, and IMMEDIATELY played it again....the whole song. It was SO COOL.
@@eitschbee Its got an infectious beat.....and Paul Simon words. Nuff said!! I've seen 325 concerts going back to 1977, and have NEVER seen a performer do a whole song 2 times in a row. It was REALLY COOL.
@@eitschbee I even got to see Simon and Garfunkel in Pittsburg, at Three River Stadium!!!! They did a short tour after their wildly successful Central Park performance in New York. Lemme tell ya, THAT was an AWESOME show!!!!
I once did a similar thing with a girl
@@SkyLukewater THAT.....is funny. GOOD ONE!!
@@joemauntel9381 Unfortunately I can't pick up social cues through text so if you're being genuine, thanks you, if you're being sarcastic that's cool too :)
I love how Paul finally cracks a smile at 4:20. He seems to try to hide it.
The drop of the glass through the side “table” at 1:57 gets me every time.

to anyone listening to this in nowadays: bless your soul, you must have taste
Love 60s through 80s some 90s
I have some taste, and that’s an understatement
I don’t mind the 50’s all the way to 2016. There is only so much good songs 2017-2021 i like, but it’s a bit stale lately.
@@reconghostgaming3213 Thank You?
Yeah, I have taste. 80s music is awesome because it doesn’t say any bad words
I am 72 years old. Very ill. Severe pain. I can rock in bed to this. Only my toes may be moving but I feel joy 😊
You keep rocking!!
Immense blessings to you dear
Keep those toe a-tappin'!
I feel you hun x keep tapping your toes to banging tunes! X

This is one of my all-time favorite songs... I'm 36 and this was a staple of my childhood and really my LIFE. This song is on my 'Life's Playlist', one of my life's many 'anthems'. Much love from Greenfield, Massachusetts! And God bless you all! ❤ ✝️

U r a nice
Back at you from Hull, MA
Hey neighbors! Hello from Chicopee! 👋 Was born in ‘73 to parents who were into music and I grew up listening to everything! Thank you, mom and dad, for having me at that time! I loved my childhood and the years I was a teenager and everything that went along with it! ❤
It's on my life playlist too!
This song came out when i was little. We had just gotten cable and i seen this on MTV and i aint stopped listening. It was one of my mothers favorite songs. It is timeless.
literally this was the first song from the west i heard as a child, when the borders opened after the soviet occupation in Hungary and i thought America is a funny, happy place with uplifting songs.
And what do you think now?
@@philip_hees fake democracy with the illusion of freedom and peace
@@LordKegyetlen Peace and democracy have always been a work in progress and always will be.
@@koriko88 Only if we work hard at it and don't get lazy or take things for granted.
@@shellieperreault6262 If that's the requirements, then I'm afraid we'll never get there. The age of working hard and not being lazy aren't much more than a memory and technology will only continue to make us weaker and lazier. America isn't great, but there are far worse places to live. At least we don't have to be worried about being murdered or beat up for being a reporter, like in some ex -Soviet countries.
Honestly one of Chevy Chase's best performances! Paul Simon's expressions are absolutely priceless! I was a kid when I first saw this video, and I still love it now! ❤
Thank you, As someone only vaguely familiar with this era of pop culture
Fletch
What?? 🥺😆
@@JustBarry-fb8kl Fletch lives
Chase is just one of the best naturally funny comedians. The guy can say anything and look and sound funny.
"Graceland" was Paul's masterpiece. Every track on it (especially this one) is brilliant!
As a little boy of 6-7 years young, this was one of my fav songs and it still is 38 years later 😊❤️
This song reminds me of a time when my children were young, life was just getting to the good part, and I was in the prime of my life. Now my sons are to that part of their life, it went by so fast. They’re young men with college degrees now, they have careers, are falling in love now, and they live on their own. Some days the house just feels too quiet and empty, and my aches and pains won’t let me sleep. I needed to hear this song today.
God bless all.
There's so much to do out there - understand the pains but do your best not to let them control you! The world is what you make it. Hope you find the happy.
Love the melody but the lyrics are just insane gibberish
You cannot judge your life on what you did for your children.
I am there too but please go try to help whatever type of thing you like. You can meet gardeners in a garden club and help your area look beautiful. You can give love to a child who lost a parent. I wish you so much peace and love.🙏
❤
No matter how sad, depressed, mad, or sleepy I am, when I play this song, it instantly melts that all away and gives me endless energy. ❤️
Thank you Paul Simon.

Me: Hi there! It came on MTV, on late August or Sept. 1986. Had help up miself on a very crucial time of growing, as wéll as critical challenges! Was 13, back then...
@@pedropolanco9042 I thought for the longest time that Chevy Chase was the singer. 😅
@@mindmy609 I'll try to transfer my energy to you. I hope it works.
@Capricorn Stars It's a brilliant job of lip-syncing! And very, very funny. Good on both of them for such a wry, delightful tease of a fabulous song.❤
I played this for my friend the other day. It was her Dad's birthday. She said he loves this song. I said I think of her Dad every time I hear it. It was a very bonding thing. He turned 80.
To all the Al's who have enriched our lives. 💙🙏
To Paul for this song that just is the theme song for all our Al's. 😊
I would always wake up early Saturday morning to my dad playing this album cooking us breakfast 🍳
Favorite bit: at about 4:19 Chevy shoves the bell of that trumpet right in Paul's face and just for a second, Paul breaks character.
Apparently, Chevy was just not quite tall enough! (But he's still plenty tall.)
Thanks! I was wondering if that was Chevy Chase!
He really did. Brilliant! XD
Have watched this so many times and never noticed that.
That’s my favorite part too!
The bass part in this song is outstanding!
+Brendan Carberry Ikr, sounds amazing!
It was fretless. I love fretless tone.
It probably goes without saying that the bass solo part is pretty good too.
Everyone I know with an ear drools during the brief bass solo
Fretless no less!
This was one of my late step fathers favourites I must have heard this masterpiece at least 1k times
Love this, always and forever. Absolute joy watching and listening … just found out it was my mama’s all time fave and that makes my heart happy. This apple is the perfect fruit of that tree (me/her). ❤️🙏🏻🤗🥳🥳
My dad passed away this past monday and this was our song. Now my dad is my bodyguard and I'm his long lost pal/son, RIP daddy I love you!
I did this song with my dad at my wedding. So our vibe.
I’m so sorry, take care.
My Mom went to Heaven a month ago. Love, Peace and God bless.
Sending as much love and good vibes your way! Keep your head up, hes smiling down on you! Until you meet again! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. Only positive thoughts your way. What a great memory to have.
This was my fathers favorite song, and today is his birthday. When I play it, his joyful image pops up in my mind, and for a moment he's here with me, laughing and telling me how brilliant, on so many levels, this song is. Tears followed by joy, thanks for that, i really needed it.
He is here
My father introduced me to this song when I was 5 .
Precious memory.
banging this tune today, it's my birthday, and my father introduced me to this awesome song, so tears on this side too
❤❤
Made me cry
Still one of my favorite songs and videos. It brings me a smile even when I’m sad.
I grew up listening to this song and it still gives the "good feeling'' i used to get listening to it back in the day.. It just has this groove that just makes you move and nod your head subconsciously..
This song has probably the most recognisable, catchiest tune out there with the brass sections in the chorus and the slap bass line.
I wonder how old Paul was in this video though coz he looks young! The video concept was really unique, goes with the weird lyrics.. and the appearance by Chevy lip sinking and doing funny stuff just makes it even more hilarious..
A real classic this one 👍🔥🔥

I first saw this video on television at my grandmother's house sometime in the late 80s with my parents. We all laughed a lot at it. Now it's thirty-five years later and my grandmother isn't around anymore and my parents are elderly and I'm not so young myself and it still brings a smile to my face.
Same 😁, ahh those were the days!
The same… my Abuela loved this song
I hope you are having great memories (of your family).
Sweetheart. If she is in your mind, she's in your ❤️❤️
One of the best songs ever.
They just talked about it on 'This is Us' so came to listen to it here.
Surprisingly, it's the first time I saw the video clip and it just made my day! Hilarious!
This never gets old. One of the best music videos ever.
I agree 👍
Hi I Recommend A Song called 'the bond villian' by Robert Nix
Low Budget Video, however one of the greatest ever! Enjoyable!
all i can ever think of when i hear this song! ❤
Tune! :D
I still love this song
You ROCK SIMON!! Thank you for being real !! Ill never forget you!!
Us 80s kids were truly blessed to experience this music first time round.
Every radio station had this track playing, and everyone in earshot was either tapping their feet, singing along, or doing a little dance.
Truly was the best of times.
I’m jealous but glad we can play it anytime and as many time we want, because I’m in love with this song❤
It was an age of true bliss without all of the "social demands" of today. Beautiful!
Brought up in the 50s and Graceland is the best thing I have ever heard.
Eso es verdad..
Amazing times 😊👍
This song is life itself. I loved it in my youth and now I am 72 and it still brings me joy
🎯
I'm right behind ya. I'll be 50 in 4 days, and I still very much like this song. It's a classic
I’m so happy your are 72! ❤ and pray you
Love and long happy healthy life !
I'm about to be 22 in 2 weeks- This is one of my favorite songs. The melody, the vocals, the flute, the bass, just absolutely such an awesome song.
@andrewgoss1682 happy birthday. Enjoy your youth !

This is one of the most soul uplifting songs ever composed on this planet. A classical masterpiece!!. Who's here in May 2022 and beyond?

I am because this was the subject of a question on a TV quiz I watched yesterday evening. The question was something like "Who could call him Al in the song You Can Call Me Al?" One guy suggested 'Buddy' and was told close but no cigar.
I came bc my husband only 3 yrs younger than I said he had no idea what song i was talking abt!! Sacrilege! 🤯😱

He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity

chevy dropping the glass through the drum stand remains the single funniest moment in a music video that i’ve ever seen. love this song, adore this video, obsessed with paul only coming up to chevy’s shoulder, immaculate vibes for an immaculate song
Yes lol!!!!! 💜 😆🤣
Him dropping the glass gets a little funnier when you realize he did the same thing at 2:35
HOW did I miss this?! hahahah xD
I was hoping there were more like me out there in the world 😂
It's impossible for me to be in a bad mood when I hear this song. Lifts my spirits immediately!
THANKS PAUL! 💜🕉️
If you grew up in the 80s you likely remember this was in constant rotation on VH-1. Good times. ❤
Brings a big smile to my face an SOOO much JOY to my heart!

For those wondering: Chevy Chase is 6'4" and Paul Simon is 5'3".
As some one that is 5'2" I've always looked up to paul Simon.. 😊loved this video when it came out in the 80s.
Now I make my great nephew listen to it.. I'm still taller than him cos hes only 8... but not for long
More importantly, can he call him Al?
Im 6’4” too XD
I looked it up actually so god bless
@@shadytreemechanic6745 woah thats so cool, want a cookie?
You're such a good artist, Paul Simon, and you have partnered with some greats! God bless you.
Poor Paul...
He's one of the few guys in music who truly has a Wonderful Sense of Humor and the ability to laugh at himself.
Class Never Goes Out of Style...
I grew up listening to Paul Simon with my dad. He'd pop the Graceland cassette in whatever he was driving and we'd crank it and sing together. 8 or 10 year old me loved every minute.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this, but it never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Ditto (here in the Third World, hardly no currency left and, yes, you can call me Al!) 🥴
Even at .25 the speed

Still one of the best music videos ever. Simple, clean, entertaining.
Didn't appreciate this song in the 80's. Think it is really great now!
Was top of the charts when I was born. The Graceland album was always on in the car. One of my top 10 songs of all time.
This, this is the song that lives in my brain rent free.
1:55 - he drops the water glass through the empty drum stand.
that was old school chevy's shtick! He does the same thing w/ the piccolo at 2:38! He was great.
was?
Now he's just old man
Like we are all going to be.
Good observation. I made it about 30 years ago.......along with a million other people.
I always liked this video. I remember when it came out.
Paul Simon classic, never gets old
This is a classic. I remember this as a kid. Still brings me joy! 😊
Love this, I’m 70 and it still makes me get up and dance and sing along
Excellent, that’s the spirit!
You're young at heart ♥ just like me

one of chevy's best songs. it really helped pauls career after his split with art.
@Chris Sharpe no I don't think so
Why...why did you do this?! You know how the majority of the people are on the internet...get ready to get corrected 1000 times. Lol...made me laugh though!
Did you know Chevy was the original drummer for Steely Dan?
Paul Simon married Edie brickell too I think.
Sorry my friend, but the song belongs to Paul Simon, not Chevy Chase!!! Chevy Chase was just doing the video for the song!!!
Chevy obliviously treating the drum stand like an end table still cracks me up.
I watch this over & over for those moments.

It's been 13 hours come back
Come back
Hi
Its been 8 days already, it's to listen to it again.
You’re welcome lol.
I wish I could give this more than one thumbs up. When he goes to put his glass on the table and it falls through, absolute classic Chevy Chase subtle but brilliant humour!!
I think that's where the bongo goes that Paul is carrying around.
I saw a TikTok with this song being played at a wedding (or something) and I thought: I can learn to play that song. So now I have a guitar and I'm a few lessons in. This song is changing lives, I can't help but think that someone heard this song ~35 years ago and thought the same thing.
I first heard this song and didn’t like it. It came on the other day and something clicked and I fell in love. I don’t know why but I keep coming back for it. Way to get it Paul Simon

Chevy Chase has always been an amazing actor and comedian. I miss the days when greats like him graced the big screen.
Love how Paul Simon starts out about to sing but Chevy takes over and he just leaves lol
"A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the third world
Maybe it's his first time around
Doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound, the sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity, he says, 'amen and hallelujah!'"
HOW DO YOU EVEN WRITE THAT?! I mean seriously. Incredible.
No, it was the copious amount of drugs that did that. Only drugs could do that

What I want to know is how Paul Simon kept a straight face. Loved him when I was a depressed teen who was convinced that Paul Simon got me with I am a Rock. Now I'm a. Old lady on Paxil enjoying life and still love Paul Simon.
I remember the time when I was a child(raised in Poland)and was dreaming about living in the US,to eat pizza,watch Ninja Turtles and listen to music like this,I'm so sentimental about those day,I thought everything what's been done or produced in America was so good...with age I changed my opinion:)regards to all people raised in 80'❤️
I think almost every kid around the world raised on tv dreamed of living in the US 😆 As for me it was all about going to school in regular clothes, long hair and hanging out with Motley Crue and Poison on Sunset 😂😂

This is sheer nostalgia... back when MTV popped up for the first time and was a sort of Muppets TV for teenagers, bathed in California sunshine, pastel color palettes and soft camera filters

This never gets old! It's vert simple, but there's just something about it that makes me smile every time! My dad's name was Oliver, but nobody called him that. Everybody called him Al. I'd love this song and video just as much if that wasn't true, but it is.
Identity is a fluid thing. Kids in grade school are being taught that by their teachers with hair colors that they could not have been born with like blue for instance. Everything is fluid. Identity doesn't actually exist. Only AI does. Artificial Intelligence.
Haven't seen this in years....Still makes me SMILE!! Bravo!
It's amazing. They maybe spent $2,500 to produce this whole video. And this is the most entertaining 5 minutes I've had in months.
It's pure class
And Paul Simon made this just to show Art Garfunkel he can do something without Garfunkel
Most likely a lot more than that, Chevy had to have been paid at SAG rates

At 4:18 Paul Simon can’t help but smile when Chevy Chase shoves the trumpet right in his face. I love their chemistry and humor so much. this video and song are amazing.
That little smile seals the deal!!!
And then Chevy Chase has to do a spin to keep his face away from the camera because he, too, is laughing.
If this isn't a feel good song then I don't know what is.
I found one of your comments early!

mental breakdown of one person due to cripling insecurity caused by midlife crisis that resulted in loss of identity is not quite a "feel good" song. not in my opinion.
it is a great song but not a "feel good" song...
I luv simple songs. Like this. Thankyou and have a Happy Daze❤❤❤❤
If you, like me, were around to see this when it first came out you're among the fortunate ones. Simple concept but absolutely fantastic!
This video is pure genius. Chevy Chase was so perfect for this.
Is that who that is with Paul? The really tall guy?
i thought it was very random just like alot of 80s music videos. at least they didn't use any of that creepy clay animation.
If this song/video doesn't make you happy, then you're doing life wrong.
Mark Curran agree with u there,great song🙂🙂
I love happy songs telling me tragedies.
hkh goes ufutdu
rest in peace my brother's

Music is the best medicine and it is expression impressions
I just saw them recreate this on "The Great North" cartoon and it reminded me of my childhood. So, I had to watch the original.
