What is 'You can call me al' by Paul Simon about?

Question:I know the words, have tried to interpret them and have scoured the internet looking for answers but there are many theories out there. I love the song and hate that I don't know what the meaning of it is.

'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.

You can't analyze Paul Simon's lyrics too much. Some of his lyrics don't have any special meaning, they just sound good to him. I've heard him say this several times in interviews.
