Billy Joel - Captain Jack

[mileybabe1994]

lil wayne shouldn't be in the suggestion box. . .just sayin!

[JSNkral]

This is a really great song. I know that it's fairly old, but it is easy for me to relate with the lyrics.

[lilchickadee1978]

As all Billy Joel songs go, this one is great.. Not the best, but great in it's own right.

[MrCelena24]

This song made me laugh. And I hope the lyrics are sardonic, because you shouldn't take to the bottle, prostitutes or drugs. But I've recently become a big fan of Billy Joel even if he sings of "captain Jack"

[pahat58]

was post viet-nam anthem,blueblood anarchy

[LykanthropeFilms]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tootsie400]

"Lil Wayne Piano Man" is in the suggestions, and I'm scared to click the link

[EVPITCSDWR]

Todd Manson, Dan Manson, Shay (really Sea Aughey), Tim Manson, "Killer" Todd knows who that is. Dorothy Aughey and God Bless her, Kelly! Tom Fitzpatrick and Deirdra, Jack Wilkowski, Hop, and the rest. Brake Service and Equipment Company of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and lest we forget Merritt Obrien.

[Screwface44]

The best part is when he says 'Captain Jack can make you die tonight'

[folladordeprostis]

Sounds like elton john

[ACpartyrulers1617]

If you love classic rock, you've probably noticed that Billy Joel and Elton John are pretty fantastic, you've probably also noticed that they are friends, you've also probably noticed that they have a similar sound. But have you noticed two of their best songs talk about the captains? Captain Jack and Captain Fantastic. Like if you agree! :) :)

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

This was the last song I ever listened to in 2011 :D

[AndrewTubbiolo]

Just a reminder that no matter what I get done in life, a big part of me will be some putz stuck in New Jersey living out the various scenes from some Billy Joel song or another. Oh, lord will I ever escape?!

[THELASTMASTA]

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ROOSTER TEETH?!

[nuclearzeon]

But wasn't there a song that was like "HEYO CAPTAIN JACK, BRING ME BACK TO THE RAILROAD TRACK"

[ELDestinova]

@nuclearzeon There was a marching song I heard in the Army during basic like that: "Hey ho Captain Jack, meet me down by the railroad track, with your reefer in your hand, I wanna be a smokin' man. Hi Ho diddly bop, wish I was back on the block." Had about a million more verses too

[Nakor420ish]

Where can I find this Captain Jack fella?

[graysmon]

best song ever. i totally relate to this one. having done my last shot almost 3 years ago, i understand every word. this is no way to live life! great song. but the truth is you give yourself "that little push" you may as well put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. half my friends are dead. i dont understand why i still love this song, but it runs deep in my soul.

[LamboC95]

Good Work on the video!

[yotube155]

Why's the rum gone?

[frecheguy]

[Fredrikhammerstom]

Every time I know that my friends are jacking off, I send them this song <3

[marktwain4]

[xawesomegurlzx]

It's really hard to get the mental picture of John Barrowman wearing tie dye pants out of your head...

[jacklazzell]

[RogueHashashin]

[JeffTheCanuck2]

The Ice is melting nicely in my Captain Jack....Cheers YT.

[WilWithOneL117]

I've been looking for this song for years. I could never remember the name of it, but I remembered some of the lyrics. Thank you so much for posting this song! 

[TheWildswan69]

I got me a glass of wine & its gettin me high now & its not even night. love this song & don't think Billy meant wine. but a great song. thanks for posting!

[Konform2zoidberg]

@TheWildswan69 yeah, isn't this supposed to be about heroin?

[helencheddar]

This year at Halloween my friends and I are going as song titles. Guess what winged drug dealing pirate I'm going as?

[Slaator]

@luvwrock OMG, so weird -- me, too!! Two days ago! Only I was driving BACK home from work. This song came on my useless Fisher Price car radio, and I swear, I almost drove off the road, staring at my radio like it had just sprouted a face. I was like, "No waaaay . . . it SOUNDS like Billy Joel -- but wouldn't I have HEARD it before, sometime in my LIFE (?!), if it WAS Billy Joel??!!!" I'd never heard it before. Ever. But it is GOOD music!!

[dean84921]

why the hell is "firework" in the suggestions?

[MikeColosi]

@dean84921 Not entirely sure but im guessing VEVO has legal rights to this song so because of that they are allowed to advertise any song they want, they just happens to be the hit one right now I suppose.

[MrThomas9084]

@MikeColosi this song is great, but it is all about the H,all the drugs he (we) did in the 70s and 80s a wonder we are still here. miss u and chrissy at O B I north on log island great times god bless

[Immortalrage1995]

@dean84921 i agree its irrelevant and billy joel is godness but i must confess i love katy perry with a burning passion for real man if u could wouldnt u fuck her

[xBiiiGCat]

@dean84921 who cares

[Coolz444]

@dean84921 Easy, Katy Perry happened to be at one of her after parties of her concert in the city of kensington. When Katy left the party, where apparently she took a few hits of acid, she happened to hear billy joel on the radio of the car next to her (believed to be captain jack) That night there were fireworks being set off as it was memorial day weekend. It was approximately this point in time when the song fireworks popped into her head. True Story.

(sources:) Hardcore katy perry fan

[jodeyboy]

10 people are heroin addicts

[Lifter976]

Joe Rogan sent me

[princewindsor98]

I just love this song

[Jareth1981]

It is about heroin but I like to think it's about Jack Daniels.

[MikeColosi]

@themoshmenace my "little notice" is to informe the billion dollar asshole record companies, that I have legal rights to post this up here. How much of the money do you think that billy joel makes, he actually gets? Im not hurting him...he's under contract, gets paid either way. I'm not doing anything wrong and if you have a problem with it, don't listen to the song because according to you, you are helping contribute to the stealing of copyrighted material. Thank you, bye.

[j5ize]

@themoshmenace Jesus Christ, shut the fuck up

[jrushmen]

Stick the justin beiber comments up your ass you childish simpletons !

[Konform2zoidberg]

Isn't this song about Heroin?

i think someone used this in a political campaign once didn't they?

[jmaywc99]

@Konform2zoidberg  its about heroine addicts he saw out of his first place in NY

[Konform2zoidberg]

@jmaywc99 so....same difference eh?

Just kind of weird to imagine Billy Joel doing anything having to do with drugs.

[folger5]

captain jack sustains me, gOD HELP ME IT;S PURE HELL

[as9138]

@folger5 I heartily laugh at your pathetic suffering.

[tag464rules]

Who is the DICK that doesn't like this song? Get a life

[44t56]

10 assholes must like Justin Bieber

[gman0001100]

oh so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[geminicfc69]

Captain Jack is Smack, Just a little push and you'll be smiling :):);)

[thegrumpysnorlax]

captain jack is a drug dealer

[felixq78]

I love that touch of reverb/delay on his voice.

[oyelad]

best (only?) use of the word masturbate in a song ever

[notsnhoJcirE]

@oyelad greenday - paranoia

Haha, I have had this song in my head all day.

[heytoguy]

THIS IS THE TALE OF CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

[CrashEddie7]

music is my captain jack ;)

[victoriawunderlich]

these lyrics are so real if only i knew when i was young what i now know ! wow it is so easy to listen and ........... i have lived and learned so much !!!! i am so tired of my one horse town (I LIVE IN SYDNEY ) but for me this song says it all

[loftymuses]

@victoriawunderlich It's about drugs. "Horse," for example, is slang for heroin. I don't think he's talking about being tired of living in a boring, near pre-technological area. I saw an interview, and Joel gave his interpretation of the song -- it's more or less pointing out the absurdity of middle-class, white teenagers thinking they have it so bad that they resort to drugs.

[victoriawunderlich]

these lyrics are so real if only i knew when i was young what i now know ! wow it is so easy to listen and ........... i have lived and learned so much !!!!

[hobo500v2]

Tired of my one horse town

[bjarnithomsen]

great song

[jacklazzell]

this song is about my life. am i alone here?

[Glong09]

@jacklazzell idk do you have a herion dealer named captain jack? that you shoot up and you be smilin and takin to your special island?? hmm i didnt know you were a druggie!

[DeliriouslyPurple]

@jacklazzell nope.

[birdman404]

i cant see the lyrics!!

[KitFallapart]

@birdman404 They're in the description.

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

One of my top five of Joel's. He's such an excellent musician.

[PinkLabel195]

i wish my computer was louder smhhhh...

[soccaplaya123456789]

sweet 46,000th viewer

[GiantPetRat]

This song is the definition of melancholy. I've loved it since I was a kid.

[darttman07]

well...There are 5 people who don't know music when they hear it

[Cary2345]

me jk

[RAWRRAWR6629]

WTF is this shit lol

[coolsouthernrain75]

@RAWRRAWR6629 .......There are plenty of Justin Bieber tunes on YouTube. Go find one and leave the good stuff for those of us that know quality.

[jaketequilla1]

@RAWRRAWR6629 You Sir are truely a Fu&%ing Idiotic Moron !

[RAWRRAWR6629]

@jaketequilla1 thank you lol

[JFatGlentract]

@MrUmzk thats lame

[nirvanafan0091]

this tune needs more volume its fucking amazing x

[outlawcountryman]

3 people liked this song so much they masturbated to it, but in the process of finishing off their ejaculate landed on the dislike button.

[nirvanafan0091]

@outlawcountryman yep my thoughts exactly x

[Chuthuluku]

I never realized how awesome Billy Joel was untill I got his Greatest Hits CD...I used to only Know Piano Man, Only The Good Die Young, and We Didn't Start the Fire....now there's about 20 of his songs I really enjoy.

[xKillShockx]

That chorus is soooooo good.

[MsL0vie]

I always laugh about" sit at home & masterbate". lol.

[Jusman010]

@MsL0vie Your immaturity is hilarious.

On an unrelated note, this song is a lot better live.

[MsL0vie]

@Jusman010 -It's immature to laugh about masterbation? get off youtube so much & go out & get the real thing. u wouldn't be so up tight.

[Jusman010]

@MsL0vie Stop spelling masturbate wrong

[MsL0vie]

@Jusman010 -u do it quit often. figures u can spell it correctly.

[Jusman010]

@Jusman010 Not really, the only thing it requires is a basic knowledge of the english language

[Cazz814]

"Dur this song promotes drug use"-Then clearly the critics never really understood this awesome song's point.

[dandively]

@Cazz814 no it doesnt promote drug use it makes you aware of how common it is

[Cazz814]

@dandively That last comment was sarcastic to those who criticize this song due to that belief.

[Puritan40]

Always took this in a literal sense. An actual "captain" on a boat that you went to hang with like a drinking buddy. After all,no one is as hard drinking as a salty sailor!

Never really liked home-made rum too much though. But me thinks the reason Billy never mentions the name of the specific drug is simply so you can make up your own meaning for the song,in whatever particular way it relates to your own life,as all great songwriters know how to do so well.

[sslcrm6]

Best song ever...

[hobo500v2]

Your sister's out she's on a date and you just sit at home and masturbate. Anyone else relate to this?

[drum5555s]

@hobo500v2 really unnecessary...

[YellowBlackbird12]

@hobo500v2 No, cuz I'm out with your sister.

[Wagaification]

where are you captain jack? i need you

[bbasketballstr11]

My dad went to school with Billy :]....I'm sure he knows the drug dealer this song's about :O

[smokey485]

@bbasketballstr11 my dad met billy in the hamptons on long island before I was born around 89'

[madhatter1161]

great song from a junkie perspective

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@madhatter1161 exactly how i hear it, man

[CleanJump]

This song is NOT about heroin. It's about how someone uses heroin to deal with hardships in their life.

[lpohjala40]

whos the dick that disliked this video

[grickard319582010]

@lpohjala40 He's probably a Justin Bieber fan, lol! Anyway, one of Billy Joel's greatest epic songs! Long live the Piano Man!

[shooster11]

@lpohjala40 - I don't know, but apparently, there's another dick that dislikes this video!!

[loftymuses]

@lpohjala40 The eight dicks. o.O lol

[felixq78]

@lpohjala40 Just some soulless motherfuckers, don't worry it's their loss.

[gamersmartin]

this gives me chills

[thesubmachine1000]

0 dislikes thats rightt Captain jackk!

[Sandmaven]

Who didn't know this song was about heroin??? If you were a teenager back in the day, the lyrics were obviously referring to the death drug - Captain Jack.

[jaketequilla1]

@shinybald36 Captain Jack will get you high tonight and take you to your special island. Captain Jack will get you by tonight , just a little "push" and you'll be smiling. Go stare at the junkie and the closet queen !NO Shee kess or Bullshit about that ! Captain Jack IS heroin and he Kills ! That's "Deal with Your Shit" fact !

[MsL0vie]

actually it's about a herion dealer called capt jack.

[buubacous]

I'm glad to see that people realize this song is about heroin. I was 11 when my parents bought me Piano Man.I lost my younger brother to Captain Jack in Dec. of 2006. (Just a little push and you'll be smiling)

[rush622112]

@buubacous Thank you for shaing that ! My family experienced a simular fate with Captain Jack............. Pretty heartbreaking !

[grickard319582010]

@buubacous That's true. However, according to Wikipedia, 'Captain Jack' was also the nickname of a major drug dealer in NYC during the 1970's which addicted hundreds of young people to heroin and other illicit drugs. Sorry to hear of the loss of your younger brother to heroin. Billy Joel wrote a great song to tell you what a LOSER 'Captain Jack' was (and still is)!

[youngpokerprodigy]

@buubacous just 2 let u no, billys refering to a real person named captian jack. he was one of the largest heroin dealers in new york in the late 70's. but that is sad about ur brother, i too have lost loved ones to dope

[youngpokerprodigy]

@buubacous o srry i just seen some1 else said that 2, dont mean 2 blow up ur inbox with the same message

[rfwelsh]

@buubacous Didn't realize that. Figured it was about Jack Daniels. Getting drunk.

[dandively]

@buubacous captian jack is the name for herion ,, its his name for his pusher, his drug dealer ,, i know trust me

[Qrayon]

@dandively I don't trust anyone who says, "Trust me."

[dandively]

@buubacous isnt the name for herion i mean , sorry

[blueices9]

yes this song is about heroin and is the drug it self in this sing,,

[prodigyofpeace1983]

The best line in the song is "Your sister's gone out, she's on a date. You sit at home and just masturbate. Your phones gonna rings soon, but you just can't wait, for that call." The things Billy Joel thinks up to make a song. Just a great tune! : )

[racingmylife15]

Amazing song! Truly amazing!

[stevoo9593]

This isnt my account, but this song just made one of the biggest memories of my life that i will remember forever.

I love my dad so much :)

[MrGreenDay1987]

captian jack gets everyone high

NO DISLIKES

[officepak]

It sounds like captain jack takes you to an island and rapes you!

[Masterhand1027]

@officepak I'm guessing you don't understand the song at all. Captain Jack is a drug dealer. The song is talking about a druggie, and how much it sucks.

[JakeandElwoodBlues]

@Masterhand1027 Actually, I believe "Captain Jack" is the drug itself, in a slang sense.

[Masterhand1027]

@JakeandElwoodBlues Well you could be right : just a little push,and you'll be smilin'=heroin

[cjwbball]

finally a captain jack video video with lyrics!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[LilPoop444]

"captain jack will get you high tonight, just a push and you'll be smiling"  ... great message
