'Allegedly' he went to a party with Carrie Fisher and kept being called 'Al'
It is just a silly song. If I were forced to interpret the lyrics, I would say that the taking on of another persona (call me Al) is a reference to sexual play.
The song is basically about a guy going through a mid-life crisis. Some people believe that it is actually Paul simon's feelings on his own mid-life crisis.
