Great song off of a fantastic album (although overshadowed by the 'shoulder pad heavy' video, sure)..
Been one of my favorite songs forever. He is awesome live and so is this song!!!
You have to appreciate the booming bass throughout the whole song.
Just a great song. Love the creative lyrics and the world music feel is superb. What a great bass too. Funny Video. Adds up to a winner in my book. Nice one Paul.
I dig this song, I think it's fun, harmless lighthearted fun, it makes me smile
Reading the lyrics, what a sad song.

I like Paul Simon, but I did not expect to hear his music on my 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer' station. What gives?
haha - just found out that I am been singing the wrong lyrics all these years! "You can call me ready, ready when you call me, now call me out" lol

Catchy tune.
pure poetry.
What a fun song!
cab_pma
kinda good i guess
My FAVORITE Simon song:)
I just love this song- and the video! Chevy Chase is so sexy in Miami Vice attire...
Paul Simon so often tossed off some truly dopey music (this one, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Loves Me Like a Rock, etc.), but damn if he doesn't find a way to tie it all together with some of the most catchy riffs and baselines.
Funny video!

jjbatch

Chevy Chase actually received a moderate burn to his tongue and mouth after nearly eating that cigarette at the end of this video.

Paul Simon is my Homeboy!!!!
