Paul Simon
Call Me Al
A very upbeat song that is actually sad when you dive into the lyrics. Anytime we hear the song, we automatically think of that video with Chevy Chase, where he hilariously lip syncs next to a miserable-looking Paul Simon. As it turns out, Simon was giving more clues about what the song's about than Chase.
Where's my wife and family?What if I die here?Who'll be my role modelNow that my role model is gone, gone?"He ducked back down the alleyWith some roly-poly little bat-faced girlAll along, alongThere were incidents and accidentsThere were hints and allegations
The lyrics seem to hint of a mental breakdown of someone with insecurities due to a midlife crisis which has resulted in the loss of his identity.
