"You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon

This week, Kirk breaks down one of his favorite songs from one of
his favorite albums.


Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" was a single from his
incredible 1986 album Graceland, and its music video
introduced a generation to the wonders of goofy lip-synching and
fretless bass solos. It's a harmonically simple tune with a
cleverly dense arrangement, and brilliantly uses musical
layering.
