''You Can Call Me Al'' is a song by American folk singer Music/PaulSimon, released as the lead-off single from Music/{{Graceland}}. Like the rest of the album, the single was recorded in South Africa and was written based on personal experiences Simon had, as he self-described it as "'Really the story of somebody like me, who goes to Africa with no idea and ends up having an extraordinary spiritual experience". The music video was directed by Gary Wesis and stars Simon and Creator/ChevyChase.
The song's title is famously inspired by an incident at a 1979 accidentally introduced him and his then wife Peggy Harper as "Al and Betty".

* BottleEpisode: More like ''Bottle Video'', as it's just Paul Simon and Chevy Chase in one room.
* MinimalistCast: Again, the video only consists of Simon and Chase.
* LyricalDissonance: It sounds rather cheery, yet details an existential crisis in the lyrics,
* OneManSong
* Main/{{Oner}}
* PerformanceVideo: Parodied, Chevy Chase lip syncs while Paul Simon plays the instruments.
* SpecialGuest: Former Music/KingCrimson guitarist Adrian Belew plays the guitar synthesizer on the track.
* ThatSyncingFeeling: Chevy Chase lip-syncs the entire song's music video.
* WeirdnessMagnet: The men wonder why they feel bad or why certain things happen to them.
* WorldMusic: It's from the Graceland album after all.
