Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al (0fficial Music Video) © 1986 Artist : Paul Simon Song : You Can Call Me Al Album : Graceland (1986) Music videos Paul Simon did not like the original music video that was made, which was a performance of the song Simon gave during the monologue when he hosted Saturday Night Live in the perspective of a video monitor. A replacement video was conceived partly by Lorne Michaels and directed by Gary Weis, wherein Saturday Night Live alum Chevy Chase lip-synced Simon’s vocals, with gestures punctuating the lyrics as Simon lip-synced to the backing vocals and brought in various instruments to play when they respectively appear in the song. (The 6’4“ Chase moving in unison with the 5’3“ Simon also provides an amusing contrast.)
