  • @WayneYonke Woah! That's what I thought. The chorus does sound like a cartoon. And as for the idiot uploaded that did a half ass job recording it— just buy an mp3 and it won't sound bad like this.

  • Hockey - The Lighter Side comes to mind lol, 1988?

  • Hey Goldenface... go puck yourself!

  • jokes on you goldenface. That man was a wanted animal rapist

  • @johnsongs2000. Dude- you need to share some of the drugs you are on! This probably makes my personal top 5 weakest Billy Joel songs.

  • @carmoves. Kind of. I get the cross-stick sound being very Police. Stewart Copeland wouldn't have gated his snare so much. And all the chirpy percussion with it makes it sound dated.

  • Glad there is a lot of love for this song. It kind of blows- sorry. It has a lot of interesting elements, but they don't work in my opinion. Even in '86 I thought it sounded like a bad attempt at Sting and the chorus sounds like it belongs in a cartoon. Could have been, should have been, ... FAIL.

  • @WayneYonke It's basically a showtune and works on that level.

  • Micahel Scarn!! hahaha

  • Threat level WHAT? MIDNIGHT!

  • This song appears in "Threat Level Midnight"... A Michael Scott film. :)

  • whos the drummer? is it vinnie c?

  • @cmyoung07

    Liberty Devito

  • Mop the Ice

  • Somewhere along the line things got messed up!

  • The jokes on you Goldenface, That man was a wanted animal rapistz!  Poor Toby.

  • That's my retirement plan!

  • Mop it!-

  • im gonna dig up scarn's dead wife and im gonna hump her real good

  • Kudos for The Office using a Billy Joel "deep track"!

  • Thumbs up if Michael Scarn brought you here!

  • @RiceFather mop the ice!!!

  • @RiceFather cherokee jack!

  • thumbs up for michael swiping billy and not giving his music creds for #threataftermidnight lol

  • @chrisdogan So close...

  • Only Billy Joel can use a word like "ulterior" in a song and make it sound cool.

  • Woow this brings back memories...

  • The beginning of this sounds like a really epic video game.

  • Billy Joel said he wrote this song for STING, and decided to keep it for himself.

    The drums are very Police.

  • @CarMoves Yeah, I'm certainly getting a Police vibe from this song.

  • Billy is the man.

  • I wish he'd do this live. I think a lot of songs from the Bridge album he's never played live. He's even played "Easy Money" live, so it is surprising the Bridge has missed out so much.

  • Thanks for posting

  • Nah.

  • This has to be my my absolute favorite song on The Bridge

  • *HILARIOUS BILLY JOEL comedy short "PIANO MAN trailer", 2min.17sec., ratedTVPG, directed by Ryan London, written by Jared Larson, only on the YouTube channel TaupeFrostPrductions!

  • Joel is (or was) obsessed with doing what you'd call 'impressions' of every available pop star, ray charles, the beatles, dylan, Springsteen, elton john. I hadn'dt heard him doing The Police. In spite of his strong personality he is like  the Zelig of rockandroll!

  • Good observation..I was just listening to the police the other day and it's definetley there, I love that Billy has covered every style though..He makes it his own..I never get bored with his music there's such a variety

  • @seanpianoman1

    Billy is the most versatile artist around I would say. It is a Police sounding song for sure,They are great, but so many songs were in the same "Sca" style. This is as good as any Police song in my opinion.

  • Love this song! Haven't ever heard it. It's very "broadway". Awesome!

  • If the Police put on a broadway show, this would be the opener

  • I think it's great that I've known about Billy Joel for so long, yet I am still finding new songs by him that become my new favourites. Here's to another one.

  • I concur- I keep finding new favorites too! I've been playing this one for hours now...

  • great song. rush is the best

  • Fantastic song. I've recently just discovered some of his older stuff - LOVE IT!

  • By Billy's career standards this is some of his newer stuff! LOL

  • pure police

  • what do you mean? the police band or the actual police?

  • ...

  • Does indeed sound exactly like The Police-compare this with Spirits in the Material World.

  • I have been listening to this for years and never noticed that but, yes, the similarity is there

  • I love this song!! I have The Bridge on cassette THANKS for posting

  • I'm glad you like it!! It's a great song :)

  • It's from The Bridge. Glad you enjoyed it!

  • yes it was great!

  • Billy really sounds like Sting here, both in his voice and the kind of song and you can imagine The Police singing this.

  • GOod song thanks for posting :)
