  • ruined a good song

  • tell that womna who shout of the window to stfu,

    her voice is ugly and ruin a good song.

    actual morron ;)

  • For those who think today's music isn't so bad, and you can't understand why old people would be "hatin on it", may I reference the Usher song, "Oh my gosh", with the following lyrics:

    "Honey got a booty like pow pow pow, Honey got some boobies like wow, oh, wow".

    Now the fact that there's a word in those lyrics with more than one syllable is surprising to me. Since this collosal failure is considered music, I weep for the future.

  • One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Too bad today's pathetic music moguls are too shallow to produce music of this thought provoking quality.

  • I love kid leashes

  • It looks like 80's New York city was the place to be..... I was'nt there, but man i wish. We can all dream of what it might of been like through movies and brilliant songs like this. And the 70's New York of "Taxi Driver" well, where do you start??

  • good song.

    

  • billy joel is a total boss

  • I guess the old lady at 1:40 disliked this video.

  • Моя любимая песня Билли Джоэла! My favorite song  of Billy Joel!

  • Forgot how much I liked this song. Hats of to Billy for Putting Christi in the video. Forgot how much I liked her too.

  • thumbs up for billy Joel the piano man!

  • al pachino at1:38

  • My favorite song and video by Billy Joel.

  • oh man I miss the 80's!

  • Great song and great video!!

  • AMO ESTE TEMA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sampras on piano! :D

  • @coolbik

    I agree

  • great song by billy joel :)

  • FYI at 3:42 you can see the "spider-man meets the fly race set" from aurora toys 1976

  • i bet if billy joel did this in my neighborhood nobody would gather around him and start dancing and shit.... stupid ass people nowadays haha

  • this is my favorite cruise song

  • sweet potatoes.

    this song is awesome

  • lady gaggles sucks her own co_k people that listen to music listen to mr joel the dislikers well i guess there listening to the rap noise and sucking lady gaggles  coc_

  • nomnombeer - actually, your statements are really pathetic and a joke. What have you achieved academically in your life so far? Can you distinguish fact from fiction? Don't think so. Is your knowledge of English that good or better than mine? Again, I very seriously doubt this.  If YOU can't hear how not just grossly ignorant, but totally uneducated and unintelligent even people in their 30s sound today when they speak, get the shit out of your ears. My college GPA was a 3.78 - yours??

  • Can ANYBODY on this site spell or know the meaning of "illiterate?" Didn't think so. Probably don't have the slightest idea of what the elements of music actually are, either, like melody, tempo, rhythm, harmony, pitch, range, etc. What a totally ignorant, fucked up world we all live in now.

  • @cbl1948 Your sentence structure and punctuation are both pretty bad for someone whining about illiteracy...also I'm not sure what the 'elements of music' have to do with the inability to read and write hahah.

  • @nomnombeer OK, English major and college (?) graduate. Specifically point out where my sentence structure and punctuation are both "pretty bad." As for "whining about illiteracy," you're also way off the mark. I'm NOT whining or complaining about the overwhelming majority of Americans lack of English and Math illiteracy these days. Do your own research, and reply back to me when you have some actual facts to back your assertions. You obviously can't even define "illiteracy."

  • @nomnombeer Not worth one more word of reply or feedback. Stick your immature, illiterate opinion up you know where. I'm surprised you even spelled "sentence structure" and "punctuation" correctly. You can't even define the two terms you used, let alone use either in a clear example. Go back to grade-school son and take English again, then comment or reply to somebody else who wants to waste time with you.

  • @nomnombeer IQ of today's "average" teenager or juvenile - I don't even have to use all five fingers on ONE hand to reach it. Put up or shut up, little boy. Or do the impossible and learn how to actually read and write about anything, intelligently and correctly. Look up the meaning of the words "illiterate" and "idiot" and you'll see perfect definitions of what you are. That's if you can even read well enough to find the entries in a dictionary! Dictionary? Duh, what's that?

  • @cbl1948 Oh heeeeey there friend. I just noticed you did not appreciate my little note very much. So sorry you felt the need to have a 'damn-young-uns' rant. Well I'm glad you didn't waste any time on me...

    PS: Good job on the GPA!

  • @cbl1948 For one, your point is ridiculously invalid. Every generation sees their children as incompetent morons who know nothing of value. All you are doing is succumbing to the bias of those who have seen radically different times. You may not like teenagers' music, or their attitude, or their priorities, but they are not morons.

  • @cbl1948 And secondly, stop being so damn pissy. All anyone is trying to do here is listen to music or watch videos. If you have a problem with somebody, private message them, but don't assume anybody cares about your opinions enough to merit your posting them online.

  • This song does what it's supposed to do - IT JUST ROCKS!! I have to wonder how many people on either side of the likes or dislikes on this site have any musical skills, knowledge, or "intelligence" (ear) at all. Come on now, people. It's just ridiculous saying you have a right to your opinion if your ignorant, foolish, "uneducated" opinion isn't worth a damn. So, grow up and prove to me how good your taste in music is when your ear for music sucks and you can't play and/or sing a single note

  • Классный клип! Хотя и старый.

  • so what's that neighborhood like these days?

  • 1:34 RINGO!

  • One of the best that was and will ever be!! Long live rock n' roll when it rang true.

  • This song (along with "She's Got a Way, Allentown, and Piano Man) are Billy's best!

  • I did a quiz thing on facebook. It said this was the number one song on the day I was born. =)

  • dislike bar is not even red

  • billy joel is one of the best of the eighties

    take an idea and expand on it and soon

    you take us all on a trip to the moon

  • People who whistle while beautiful music is being performed are GIANT A HOLES.

  • i´m from 95´ i grown up with billy joel. probaly cus my father was a piano man. and i was born with music. but especially this song i really liked. and if i listen to it now i still love it it.

  • Christy owned horses raining horses she was very much involved in riding and raining quarter horses. For Christmas one year Billy got her a beautiful grey ;) she is a good rider. :) great song and video shame they are no longer together. ;(

  • i wish i grew up in the 80s music was better then... it sucks being 15 haha

  • @mrpartietime Yes, it must.  Too bad your generation wouldn't know what real music really is if it bit you in the face. Grow up thinking MacDonald's serves great burgers, what do you expect??

  • @mrpartietime Sorry to say, the music was no better in the 80s, it's just the good stuff that sticks around, the bad stuff nobody pays attention to any more, so obviously it all seems to be good. The same will happen with the next few generations, our generation's good music will stick, the bad music will go away, and they'll think it's all good.

  • @Flatchlenter Well, I'll stack this song and hundreds of others from the 80's up against Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber every day of the week. : )

    The 80's simply rocked, and not just the music...there was palpable optimism in the air.

  • @mrpartietime Agreed I'm 40 and wouldn't change the music I grew up with

  • @mrpartietime My thoughts exactly! ;)

  • @mrpartietime Yeah... I'm sure it sucks having all the music you could ever want at your fingertips as opposed to living even just 30 years ago where you could only listen to what you had access to and paid for.... What a bummer right?

  • @chucatawaful there were juke boxes i lived in an abandoned buidling with punks who made their own music in 1981 i like the technology but there was some undefined magic about the 80s very naive time reagan gave you permission to be greedy and apathetic and everyone just had a good time once the economy improved by 1985, it was the beginning of home computers and boom boxes when did they invent cds? we were very happy with what we had, and loved not having survalance cameras everywhere

  • Comment removed

  • @danimusic00 the funny thing is what you forget well into the 90s i was listening to tapes.

  • @chucatawaful we got away with murder and that was the magic

  • @mrpartietime

    very wise comment for 15

  • @mrpartietime

  • "SHUT UP"

    - Random lady

  • lmao am i the only one who thinks he looks like michael keaton. looks like him to me lol

  • I remember when they shot this video. It was on 8th street. I lived in sty town at the time.

  • Időutazásban érzem magam, mert a klipben háromszor is feltűnik egy szőke, frufrus csinos nő kisgyerekkel, akit a River of The dreams című dalban is látok, ahol épp fest. A fura az egészben, hogy a két dal között legalább 10 év különbség van, a nő viszont pontosan ugyanúgy néz ki mindkét felvételen.

  • Hmm. I think a speck of red dust landed on the Likes bar. Need to clean it up.

  • @NhXOnline - Got a Root Beer Rag here to clean it up with!

  • I walked away a fool...

  • I dont know which one, but this song reminds me of another famous band...

  • hows the drummer bouncing his stiks on the floor at the beginning ha classic .... oh this song hits me hard billy joel..hmm well...legend

  • i like this song even today, billy makes such good lyrics and feelings into his songs. and yes...

    its always a matter of trust to live happily.

  • This was the time when music was awesome.

  • 1:38 Al pacino

  • @MrHellototo ....No, a longtime friend of mine, a guy named Thomas Silvestri from

    Massapequa, L.I., N.Y.

  • Comment removed

  • He is clever , very good lyrics!

  • 17 people miss aqua and barbie girl.

  • Why is the girl at 2:45 carrying around a rat?! Either way her expression doesn't indicate that she is enjoying it or the song...can you say bad taste? Not a big fan of Joel,but this one from my high school days always brings back memories.

  • for a second i thought i was looking at sylvester 'rocky' stallone doing the guitar..

  • 1,2&1,2,3,4:)

  • if i could rock out this that's the way i would do it neighbors would hate or luv me!

  • @QuentinWBuetow you wont do shit you looser. you are so stupid.

  • @QuentinWBuetow by the way dumbass, you can go to jail for what you said but you aint shit anyway so im not worried about it.

  • @QuentinWBuetow i told you im not worried about it shit for brains. you are a total dumbass. you have no idea who you are fucking with. and you wont do shit. i know, because a real mother fucker wouldnt start some bull-shit because he wouldnt go to jail over the dumb shit. youre probably living in your mommas basement and never had sex with anything other than plastic. and you probably weigh 400 lbs.

  • @QuentinWBuetow well i would comment on your page but it sage its unavailable when i try to. god you area pathetic looser and a total disgrace to the military (if you even were in the military), go ahead and send another long paragraph, im done replying to your stupid ass. you have to be very sad and lonely to start a youtube argument like that. HA HA YOUR NAME IS QUENTIN!!! LMFAO. thats all i have to say.

  • I remember in 1986 when i was only 10, this song was constantly played over the radio and it's intro "One, Two, One Two Three Four ..." was used over a clothing line commercial named "Penshoppe". Brings back the good old memories.

  • This is what I love about Billy Joel as an artist and performer that he can alternatively change his voice and tempo from one kind of music to another. I mean there ain't many other artists who has this ability and crossing over from one different music genre. I didn't even know he was the one singing this track comparing his voice in older hits "Honesty", "My Life", "Uptown Girl", and "It''s Still Rock And Roll To Me. He's amazing!

  • @madzskie Yes his vocal range has alway been quite extensive.

  • Very gritty song, almost Bruce Springsteen-like

  • one two a one two three four. i love that line. BEST OF THE WHOLE DAMN SONG

  • Супер!

  • Great intro, I also remember The Cure - Foxy Lady

  • Even Billy Joel Wants to go to 11

  • dumbest beginning of any song EVER. including rapeman's start the riff - pause to fart - start the riff again from their zz top cover...

  • @UngKristen Great beginning like a lot of songs by example The Cure - Foxy Lady

  • @gmansi yea yea yea that's a good one. one.... i submit that spoken intro to hot summer night by meat loaf.

  • @UngKristen Great !! Do you remember anothers songs with "improvised intro"?

  • i love this song but the video is so stupid.

  • @danrichards23 IT IS PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER<MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • just another day in new york

  • I really love this song =)

  • Liberty DeVitto is the man in this!

  • Billy не устает удивлять своими работами великолепно !

  • Very dated..

    

  • Am I crazy or did I see Ringo Starr in the street in one of the shots?... I must be going crazy

  • @peaceis4ever8

    No, you're not imagining it. He's about 1:38 into the video.

  • i loved seeing cristy in this vid. I thought that was kinda sweet.

  • Can we like, you know act like adults and stfu and just listen to the music?

  • @Disco32er WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT ON!

  • Way to mouth kick that ass Gunny. Semper Fi!!!

  • Wow, lots of internet tough guys listening to Billy Joel.  Who woulda thunk it?

  • Wow, it's hard to believe what people will say over the Internet these days. What have we all come to, fighting like this? I mean, don't you people have anything better to do than come on You-tube and pick fights? I can understand discussing the video, debates even, on their opinions of the video, but this? Fighting? Using "Fuck" after every word? I don't care who you are, I don't care what the person said about you or to you, because does it really matter? Honestly people, cheer up.

  • @FergusonJ71 way to include every peace of shit attention seeking paragraph in one comment.

  • @FergusonJ71 right on, and peace to you and your family

  • @FergusonJ71 I'm glad none of my friends do all this senseless arguing that you're talking about, you know it's all A MATTER OF TRUST lol

  • Wow this video is very clear ! I can see my self at least 4 times in the video...I miss the 80's.....I am the girl with the red tank top and short hair with red lipstick ..I have the big gold earrings on with the gold necklace...In one take you can see my white pants when I amstanding behind my friend...this was alot of fun....miss the 80's ..I wonder where my dance partners are now.

  • @TheEnchantedmother you were hot girl:)

  • Love this tune. Nothing but truth.

  • one word.... Amazing!

  • New York City in the 1980's. The place to be back then with The Cosby Show. If you love this video,I'm sure you/you'll love YOU BELONG TO THE CITY performed by Glenn Frey.

  • Love this dam song=)

  • Hey my dad's has that car

  • @52wbending52 hey my dad's can use correct grammar.

  • The more I been betrayed, the harder it is to trust. But I know a lot of trustworthy people. On the flip side, I used to work 10pm to 7am.  However, if BJ would have been singing this song live at my apartment complex in the middle of the afternoon, I probably would have went as close as I could get to him with my camera.

  • Hell I wouldnt mind living next to a band practice hall if they sounded this good!!!

  • What an excellent song!!! Way to go Billy it's amazing to see Christie in the video.
