Absolutely love this song. I can listen to it for hours straight and not get tired of it. Then it's stuck in my head for the rest of the day, and I still love it. The video just makes it better
The Smash Band does an amazing version of this song. (STL area) That's where I got hooked on this song. AMAZING!
Seriously, one of my fave songs of all time and it always makes me happy to hear it. Not to mention, Paul Simon is one of the great singer-songwriters ever.
I really wish good music that caters to adults like this would make a comeback.
Also, this really simple concept shows that a music video doesn't have to cost 5 trillion dollars, with the special effects of a Michael Bay movie in order to hold your attention!
paul---is-tiny Right up to the point he walks up to the counter at the bank, puts his little nose on it and says 'give me my BALANCE'-----ALSO---CHEVY is tall---that is the point -----IT is supposed to be humerious-----Makes me smile-this-many-years-later----THANKS
Video was conceived partly by Lorne Michaels and directed by Gary Weis, wherein Chevy Chase lip-synced all of Simon's vocals in an upbeat presentation, with gestures punctuating the lyrics.[5] Simon wore a bored expression throughout the piece, while also lugging instruments into view (such as a bass guitar and a conga drum) to sync them with the audio track at the appropriate moments. The only time he sings was to provide the bass harmony on the phrases "If you'll be my bodyguard".
Chevy really did a great job lip-synching to this. Looks REALLY realistic. I always thought it was cool for a legend like Paul Simon to kick up his heels so to speak and just have fun in a video...sometimes the big guys can be kind of self-important. LOVE this video. The song just came on the radio and it made me come on here to look it up!
how ever many;chevy chase still blew the horn in paul simon's face at the end and even paul simon started laughin cause they all used to lip sink in their videos back then so it was hilarious for Chevy chase to act out of charector being the comedian not the singer and do all the words. Kinda looked like paul simon just went with it. When he played that bongo chevy chase decided to show him his skills that's why they brought the horn out to begin with. One of the best videos of all time.
Paul is the only person in the world who can play the flute without moving his fingers!
