I remember this room as being so much larger and fully of various instruments. I also grew up thinking Paul Simon was Chevy Chase and having no idea who that other guy was. In 2007, when burning CDs was still a thing, I had one called the "call me Al experience" which was just this song 3 times. I listened to it for a week solid. This is one of the most well crafted and joyful songs I am aware.

Yes, and a bunch of activists tried to cancel him over it. He famously sat down and had a frank conversation about it with them.

Paul Simon is not a guy who you usually think of as having a sense of humor, but he is subtly hilarious here. He starts to sing "A man walks down - " but then realizes, to his mild surprise, that he's not the one supposed to be singing. He twiddles his thumbs. When Chevy is "singing" the na-na-na part, the look on Paul's face says he really wants to be singing but he knows he's not supposed to. Great song, and an incredibly fun simple video.

So the actual meaning to this song is great! Paul and his wife were invited to a party and the host forgot their names and called them Al and Betty all night, introducing them as Al and Betty to all the other guests … going along with the error they continued to call each other Al and Betty and he turned it into a brilliant song.
