Taxicab Classics: Paul Simon says ‘You Can Call Me Al’ even though neither of us is called Al

Journeying in a taxi is like being in a time machine, taking you back to a time when all music was well-crafted and inoffensive. And smelled a bit like old fag-ends and B.O. One track which is a favourite of the cabbie is the syrupy pop of Paul Simon circa Gracelands. The biggest hit from that LP was ‘You Can Call Me Al‘, which starred Ladysmith Black Mambazo (or, those ones from that baked bean ad ages ago). And for the video? Enter Chevy Chase. What’s not to love? All of it? There’s no pleasing some people.
