Oh, come now, you know it’s “You Can Call Me Al.”
Seems obvious, but “Graceland.”

“You Can Call Me Al” for sure. The music video will always make me laugh.
I’ll go with “Graceland,” since just thinking about it got the chorus stuck in my head.
You Can Call Me Al, but I don’t know how to type the high notes.

Boy in the Bubble for the epic accordian intro.
Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes, b/c I distinctly remember my Dad telling me that it is about cocaine, and me asking him “What’s cocaine?”

…Choosing the title track and obvious favorite makes me feel somehow inadequate, but hipsters be damned, it’s just too a fantastic of a song.
GRACELAND.
And my grammatical error has now made me feel more inadequate than my song choice ever did.
Has to be Graceland.

I’d have to say that “You Can Call Me Al” is the best track off the album. The synth hook is really catchy especially when it accompanies the vocals, not to mention the rest of the instrumentation.

My favorite lyrics from any Paul Simon song, “She comes back to tell me she’s gone, as if I didn’t know that, as if I didn’t know my own bed.”
