this is footage of when paul simon wrote my name is al.
Welcome to the Gus Johnson channel, where the most average content comes to fizzle out.
Thanks for watching and sharing! Don't stab people. I'll see you later.
i figured i had to hop on this "you can call me al" meme quickly while it was still super topical. follow me on twitter @Gusbuckets for all the latest "you can call me al" news and content.
Gus Johnson hi al
Gus you are different without a mustache
Hey Gus, I just wanted to tell you i apprecoate your work. I discovered you last year and ive watched every video you have posted. Always brightens my day to watch one of your videos. Thanks for giving my laughs, its my therapy. I guess that makes you and Eddy my doctors, God help me.
Gus Johnson fastest memer in the west
Gus Johnson love it! Honestly sounds more like Sun Kil Moon than Paul Simon though. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, listen to the song Ben’s My Friend.
“Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard.”
My favorite line from that song, by far.
Emily Rose what about “ducked back down the alley way with some rolly polly little batfaced girl”
Pretty sure the penny whistle solo or the lil bass riff toward the end is the best part.
DiskoSpider oh wait yeah you’re right. The bass at the end is iconic.
@@emilyrose4320 It's magical, like he somehow played it in and then played it backwards in reverse.
imshippyupup bone digger, bone digger
"Wait, those aren't the actual lyrics right?"
*Looks up the lyrics*
"Wow, I knew those weren't the actual lyrics how did I think that?"
@Mark Steven *_MISSION FAILED_*
Sammie1053 MISSION FAILED SUCCESSFULLY
booner booner
Is it the real lyrics?
Im still really confused
BibiBosh no they’re not
banger video paul
Yeet
Hell yea
Yip yip chahoo?
Why aren’t you verified?
Fairbairn!
Why is this so unbelievably accurate
Fuck you
samcrog - okay samcrog
its not
It was accurate enough for me to know the song when I was blindly listening to music
why are white people racist
Bloody good!
Paul Davids ur probs not gonna see this but just want to say I love ur vids and everything u do 👍
Didn’t expect to see dad here
Wait what are you doing here hahaha, love your videos
Didn't expect you around here, love it!
hi
I like how Paul Simon ends a phone call with "Sincerely"
This is an oddly specific video that ticks all the right boxes for me. Thank you, Gus.
Nice to feature Paul Simon but where is Gus this week?
He was the voice in the background.
I've spent my whole life practising songwriting completely blind to the fact that I just needed to talk to my mum to make a banger. Thank you for showing me the light Mr. Bus Jackson
Don't include the words mom and banger in the fame sentence. Especially verbal
Why does Bus Jackson sound like someone who once played with Steely Dan?

@@yojiboy but... no
That’s just rap music
@@orphanscream2118 rap typically doesn't have a musical tone so no

Lighten up! Jesus
It's weird, but I'm Jewish and when Jews pray they don't just read the words they sing the words, and low key that is exactly how they song it
And Paul Simon is Jewish. It's so interesting when you see how influence come to an artist.
I'm Jewish too and that is so true I never thought of it that way
@@joshualucas Chris D'Elia has a stand-up bit about the weird singing in church that's pretty funny
mastod0n1 Chris d’elia.... funny? Really?..
It's very common to take to music when reciting words in religious settings. In Catholicism, many texts are in plainsong, a style of musical chants.
Wow friend, your lyrics flow like troubled waters without a bridge.
And now I know why he didn’t have a mustache in this video
He hot paid 2000 dollars on cold ones to shave it
There is an actual story behind the song’s name (as well as another line in the chorus). When staying in a hotel, one of the staff mixed up the name of Simon and his wife, calling them “Al” and “Betty”. (I believe his wife’s name was Peggy, but I don’t recall exactly.)
Imagine him ordering in McDonalds
it would be like Weird Al's parody of R Kelly's trapped in a closet
hey there how are you doing is this the mcdonalds on 3rd street great i'd like a double cheeseburger with fries and an apple pie you know the ones that are soft in the middle and hard on the outside yeah that one so that's my whole _ORRRDER, ORRRDER,_ and yes i'd like that to-go please thank you very much sincerely your favorite customer paul simon bye
G.U.S. = Grossly underrated songwriter

So original

Things I didnt expect to see in 2019: a paul Simon goof
honestly i’m just proud he remembered all that
You remind me of how UA-cam used to be, and I love you for it.
Man, your sketches just keep getting better. GIVE THIS MAN A SHOW!
this is so good
But how is your paul Simon speaking impression so perfect 😂
Legend has it that his stomach rumbled, and with the help of studio magic, that became the bass solo at the end
LMAO!
I know the dude who played bass on that record, I’ll ask him.
ok but all memes aside, i frickin love this song
This is the first time I'm hearing about a You Can Call Me Al meme but I'm all for it
Fun fact, no song goes harder than Kodachrome by Paul Simon
Wingo's Meme Abyss All of his songs go hard
@@bahamakazi But Kodachrome goes hardest
Feelin' Groovy tho
Wingo's Meme Abyss harshly agree
If you guys put any of his songs over America then you’re wrong
who’ll be my role-model?
now that my role-model is
Gus, Gus
This is my absolute favourite Gus Johnson video.
Gus Johnson doesn't care about the algorithm
And that's why the algorithm loves him.
This is the quality Continent I Subcried for!
I actually subscribed for the continent of Antarctica and ive been let down
My power got shut off today and im currently unemployed. I hope one day my yt channel can get me somewhere like Gus here. Im mad proud of guys like Gus; ive been watchin him for yearrrs. Keep it up man, youre killin it.
Wow Gus is really taking one for the team here with a video that'll definitely get claimed. We appreciate it guy!
I've watched this about 30 times now and keep coming back to it.
does anybody know what the name of the outro song is?
I think it’s an original Gus Johnson song
oh hello it’s my guy cue
Yeah it's called Guess you could say by gus it's his original song
It's in spotify.

Subbed during H3. Bless. Anxiety is a bitch Gus. Had it for ten years, just get a hold of it quick and maintain it. Respect dude
I saw Paul Simon live a little while ago, he's looking more blonde than I remember but at least he finally got taller
This is one of the funniest videos on all of UA-cam.
Its amazing to see such a great channel finally almost make it to 1 million subs, Nice job see you at 10 million!
One of my all time favorite videos on UA-cam. Half the clicks must be from me.
I’ve been obsessed with this song for like a year
This is the strangest but most accurate impression of any celeb I think I’ve ever seen
ihaveneverseenamoreaccuraterepresentationofthissongbefore
You know when you see a title of a video so tailored to your specific, hypothetically non-intersecting interests (Gus Johnson skits, Paul Simon) that your whole heart does a thrilled double take
loving the hair today gus very middle school!
Only Gus would make such a specific sketch video, love it
"BOOOner BOOOOner"
I've already watched this, but then yt recommended the video of Charles Cornell playing to it and I watched and then yt recommended this again, so here I am watching it a third time.
I love this song, but this is %100 accurate.
This is my favorite song. I saw him live on his farewell tour and it was awesome. I’m very glad this content exists.
came because of Charles Cornell
You just introduced so many people to this bop and that makes you a real hero. Newly and truly obsessed with you and your channel
Just watched him hit 1MIL subs CONGRATS!!!
This video haunts me. I can't stop thinking about it. It's probably my favourite skit ever.
Can someone please put this with the actual beat
CONGRATULATIONS on 1 Million Subscribers!
So I frequent karaoke bars, and "Strawberry Wine" is sort of a regular request. Whenever I'm with friends, if that song is on, I'll just start chatting up whomever and use the lines from the song and see how far I can go with it till they get it. Record stands at about 35 seconds. It's a start.
You have to respect this man.
Graceland is a treasure of an album.
You are so funny, Gus.
This is the last video you made before hitting a million and I can't describe the joy that brings me
First reference to paul simon i've heard on yt, got good taste man 👌
Meh, I don't find his stuff amusing anymore.
@@2naaa_ If you'll be his bodyguard tho, he can be your long lost pal
This is objectively your best video omg
Chevy Chase was the inspiration for Al, they had a romantic involvement
It was an intense emotional relationship....it wasn't about the sex but the passion between two people that can so easily become warped and turned to hatred...much like Grindewald and Dumbeldore lol

I still show this to everyone I know, even though they've seen it a million times now. Thank you for this, Gus.

This is absolutely fucking outstanding.
Its "you can call me Al" just as a side note
Betty if you call me you can do it when I'm not recording.
Rock and Roll hall of famer as a solo artist and as a group with Garfunkel. It was a pleasure to meet and greet him when I was in NY.
I’m guessing this is after the Cold Ones podcast
and 2 grand richer lmao
Why do I wish these were the actual lyrics and I wish it was actually gus singing
This is so DUMB and it makes me laugh every damn time. The way he signs off is especially funny
One of my favorite Gus Johnson sketches
I love this video but my first thought was how many people who follow Gus are gonna know "You can call me Al"? Or was this a ploy by Gus to get people listening to Paul Simon?
Gus videos are usually good for a hearty chuckle from me but this one actually made me crack up.
Noone:

This is the best I've seen all week.
Needs more backwards basslines
This really could be your best work yet. I'm fuckin cackling over here man.

Finally a good video from Gus
You can call me.

Hey Gus,
you put more humor in my day than would otherwise be there.
Thank you for that.
Is this available on SoundCloud?
I was 6 years old in 1986 when this came out. I remember they played it sooooooo much on MTV, it was etched in my memory forever.
Dear Gus,
My briefs are now profoundly moistened from this ruddy good rib-tickling,
kind regards,
Robin
You pull stuff out of your ass that is pure seamless humor and I literally do not get more excited than when my boyfriend visits me or when you release a video those two things are an instant dopamine slap and I want to be as good of a comedian as you one day you are my inspiration as a comedian and film major
In Soviet Russia, Paul Simon didn’t write My Name Is Al. _My Name is Al wrote Paul Simon_
Thanks for getting this stuck in my head!!!!!!!
*Who else is here from Charles Cornell*

you can call me al video brought me here, and it was worth it.
