Now I like the ABC song cause Billy sang it. I do not know what he does to the most simple song, but whatever he does, it is awesome. He is certainly one of the best piano players of all time.
I've never been much of one for the alphabet, and I always found this song tiresome and lacking a real hook. I must say though, something about this intrigues me and shines new light on literacy. Well played, sir.
Yeah, the ABCs suck. So do learning to read and tying your shoes. And potty-training's for fags. Only conformists fill out job applications, and eating your vegetables would get you your ass whooped in my neighborhood. Whiteraven, we are kindred spirits.
I think his daughter Alexa was the one with the pink bow in her hair :)

I love it when Billy Joel goes "Yaaaaayyy!" at the end of the video. You never expect to hear one of your favorite artists sing the ABCs.

I wonder if they went home to their parents and asked them who Billy Joel was after singing with him.

@kcufmalsi I had the "Do the Alphabet" tape of Sesame Street, and to be honest I didn't know either until many years later.

@kcufmalsi And since they're all probably grown up now, they may remember what a thrill it might have been meeting him!

See though what you don't see at the end is when Billy tells the kids, "Don't take any shit from no one!!" For obvious reasons.

That's nothing - I had to sing this song backwards for a drunk test recently. Who knew the police carried electronic keyboards in their cars?

Funny thing, I once met a cop who plays the guitar. I wonder if he carries it around for drunk tests?
