Sometimes, to amuse myself, I categorize my moods by music.  I could be in an ACDC sort of mood; Thunderstruck to be more specific.  Or maybe I’m digging The Rolling Stones (the early era).  I find myself in a Tom Petty mood quite a bit too. 

Lately though, I’ve been feeling very Simon and Garfunkel.  More Simon than Garfunkel.  So I dug through my old cd collection (for some strange reason S&G never found their way onto my iPod) and dusted off a mixed cd with some Paul and Art on it.  I was listening to it on my way to work a few days back and You Can Call Me Al came on. 

And I instantly began to smile. 

Seriously, do you remember how good of song that is?  And how freakin’ awesome the video is??  First of all, it just has a happy little beat to it.  That alone raises my seratonin levels.  Secondly, its fun to sing to: “All along–along, There were incidents and accidents–There were hints and allegations.”  And if you can’t remember the words, you can always fall back on the chorus “Na na na na.  Na na na.” 

And that video!  Back when Chevy Chase was funny.  And Paul Simon looked like Rick Moranis.  When I got home that night, I pulled it up on YouTube and made Farm Boy watch it.  I giggled through the whole thing.  Chevy Chases’ expressions are priceless.  And when he drops the glass of water through the drum stand!  Hi-lar-i-ous!  So, as my service to you, I thought that I would bring this little gem out from the archives.  Watch and enjoy.  You’re welcome.
