[Eteric]

Gland hangover II introduced me to this song. It's fantastic.

My dad was a fisherman, so I might let him listen to it.

[TheSh3lbitch]

This is a beautiful song of the hard core fisherman,that my dad is and his friends are.we were listening to this song long before the hangover two brought you to it.

[ruuteachtenegentig]

i just saw the movie "the hangover 2" and there they use this song and this song is realy great!!!!!

[bleep77]

It is absolutely impossible to hate this song. With that said, the 28 people who clicked the dislike button can go f**k themselves.

[palhia]

Kac vegas 2 ^^

[Griff10500]

I for one Love this song and being from the area and related to the people that this song is about.

[18pigment]

Kac Vegas 2 się przypomina ;D

[nutbagbrew102]

[bnfox]

@nutbagbrew102 -Billy Joel??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!

[verizon20051]

Can you guys just listen to the song and not talk about politics? Besides, you wanna talk about corruption, EVERY COUNTRY at one point has been corrupt, get over it.

[marllaNEWACC]

@verizon20051 i listen to the song when i write isn't that enough ?

[verizon20051]

@marllaNEWACC I hear about politics everyday, every hour, it gets annoying. Yes I care of what goes on, but I don't wanna hear about the GOP, The President, the wars, 24/7.

[marllaNEWACC]

@verizon20051 OK xD

[vagunowner]

@marllaNEWACC you see this is how you started the hatred on here, being a smart ass to a comment someone wrote on here. you are too fucking dumb to see it.

[marllaNEWACC]

Ok i cant follow this "thread" anymore. I hate the US government and prolly all of u guys that does not see how corrupt it is. the rest of u <3 peace and i hope u win!!

[vagunowner]

@marllaNEWACC GOOD!

[CoppaChef22]

thumbs up if you love WORLD PEACE and "downeaster alexa"

[Dzivdzan1]

[the1tank1hall]

[cSsPedro]

Hangover Part II  \õ/

[impac01]

beautiful

[thegoodfullas]

im only 14 and i think this is the bomb

[tblonk93]

like if you're from long island and understand the lyrics

[wlt777]

Another great reason to watch the movie, "Hangover II."

[GreenTeamSkits]

@wlt777 the beginning of hangover 2 was much better i thought and ya i watch it partly for this scene the cinematography was great at parts

[ThaResponsable]

Idk who started who this discussion, but OP is faggot

[Ezethede]

watching videos is hard for some people.

[inurface247]

@Devismo you are the one with no clue.  They are not hurting anyone. So watch the video and don't read the comments if they offend you. People continue with your arguments they are very entertaining. Also why use Gay slang. It seems to me that you are hiding from something.

[Devismo]

@inurface247 yeah the only thing I'm hiding is my big dick in your girls pussy. fuck you faggot.

[inurface247]

@Devismo such harsh words. Don't let your battleship mouth overpower your row boat ass queer bait!

[Griff10500]

@Devismo if you and inurface247 are going to make those kind of comments, go somewheres else and enjoy each others profanity.

[omarrules38]

the hangover part 2

[bigfootgoldlover]

this is a classic,lots of feeling in this song,reminds me of the outer banks N.C.

[LuKaZz420]

What the hell are you guys arguing about? Can't you just say the song is good or something?

[Gandalf2947]

It's Billy Joel guys. Lets not go off topic now...

[T3LT]

this is only the best song to listen to when your baked out of your mind

[crashstone]

This song makes me Peace with myself

[Vilverin1]

Who can see that Beyonce and Jay-Z thing off to the side? Jay-z is so ugly, damn

[mattdaddyful]

@Vilverin1 I dont see it but he has to be THE UGLIEST Brutha I have ever seen...Plus-Absolutely No Talent-Now Back to BILLY

[xboneava]

@hallytherat your already displaying your stupidity and how arrogant you are by genaralizing your opinion based off one person. fucktard.

[psychorabbitt]

Thumbs up if you were a fan of this song BEFORE The Hangover...

[mattdaddyful]

@psychorabbitt Dude,I hate these CHUMPS coming on here and saying Thumbs up if you heard it on Video Games,Cartoons,Movies ECT. ECT...Shut up and JUST LISTEN to what REAL MUSIC IS you STUPID LITTLE PUNKS...lol..There,I feel Better..lol..

[psychorabbitt]

@mattdaddyful Yeah, how about you say that to the person who posted for a thumbs up if you got here from hearing it in The Hangover 2. My post was a jab at the posts you're bitching about.

[mattdaddyful]

@psychorabbitt I know that SILLY...You TOOK IT WRONG...Im on YOUR SIDE!!!God Bless

[brittanyismoney]

Didn't Billy Joel write this song for his daughter who is named Alexa? I thought I heard/read that somewhere.

[psychorabbitt]

@brittanyismoney No, this song is about the death of the commercial fishing industry (his boat is named after his daughter). The song "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" was written for his daughter.

[brittanyismoney]

@psychorabbitt Oh okay, I guess I was just mixed up. Thanks for the info!

[xboneava]

heard from hangover awesome song

[missvictorian199]

[abdelhakinho]

[SuperPainal]

Thumbs up if you've had a father that captained the seas. My father just had a stroke and now I love this song. Hangover? Shit kid you've never had one...worth remembering.

[ad51hy]

[NeumimVymysletJmeno]

26 people are sailors

[bjmarsh32]

@Swagatam42 Yep...I had forgotten about this song, but went searching for it b/c of movie. BJ is no doubt epic. Hope it's not true Justin trying to copy...tragic.

[TheElgee]

@Swagatam42 Wow ... Actually I have heard it in the film !!! I just had to look it up :) I like films like these where they play music of my time (I'm 48) A lot of Adam Sandler's films also use older music :)

[Swagatam42]

@TheElgee yap .. Me too .. then i searched for it and got it here .. :P

i just love the music ... :)

Adam Sandler's movie songs are good as well ... i like all his movies ....

[lankey32]

@Swagatam42 Thumbs up if you think this kid is a fucking poser!

[Swagatam42]

[Sonyetc]

@Swagatam42 im here for the song, but i did hear this song in hangover

[RicIsGod]

[93Gangstaboi]

@RicIsGod What? Billy is alive bro.. xD

[trinity9011]

@RicIsGod he aint dead man

[slashunia]

[SWFJR14]

Kissy Sell Out bought me here, believe it or not

[YellowPain50]

Hangover Part 2!

[KGBosh]

@hightide87 one thing i hate, even as an american, is the notion that Americans have a monopoly on freedom. "I enjoy my freedoms...able to speak freely... under a flag that stands for freedom". We're always getting it shoved down our throats that that makes us special - most countries share the exact same freedoms that we do. Denmark included.

[11937NY]

@KGBosh I believe what hightide87 is talking about is in response to a prick from another country saying America is the worst place to live in. You are correct on that other countries have the same freedoms much like ours.

[NeumimVymysletJmeno]

Amazing song

[scimg]

So it's a song about a fishing trip... nice.

[blasterskv]

nothing brought me here.... oh wait, something did and that's my memory of this song. i was a kid 1st time heard it and i cried like there's no tomorrow

[skocro]

25 people didn't watch Hangover 2

[blasterskv]

shouting... set your soul free and shout. unleash the fury

[Martinho912]

[ladyMustaine1]

[MrKhober]

[KevinAnthonyB]

Your opinion is so miniscule that I can't even see it 25 haters!

[oODEVILSARSEOo]

0:45 is that chuck norris? OH GOD!

[SaoodVidal1]

hangover 2

[minifoppa95]

it makes me sad seing a song like this having 1 million views whilst lady gaga gets 70+ million per video, perhaps the world really is ending...

[Crimson203]

@minifoppa95 nope people are just getting more stupid

[patk10]

@minifoppa95 Wow you should see fucking Justin beiber. Almost a billion views s:

[matheusvidaloka1000]

[flashbax97]

Billy Joel=God

[MrAwesomestguyever]

I listen to this while i fish off of Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket with my friends during the summer. We ALSO listen to it when we occasionally troll Atlantis.......

[Svetovidijak]

Srecna nova godina

[TheSid971]

GREAT !!!



[MrBarrymbark]

They are just the measure of how hard someone work.An unfair system that would only work if we were all mindless copies of each other.Just another brick in the wall.

[jamg896]

Great song.

it´s message applies in a poetic or figured way to daily life of people who work hard to live and see for their most loved families.

I got to Knew it by watching the movie and now i can´t stop listening at it.

The movie, well it´s funny.

[phillyeaglesphan]

is there any better singer/songwriter out there?

[coolwhip41118rh]

@phillyeaglesphan nope!

[f0r3v3rl33t]

Completely fucking epic.

His vocals tell a story of their own, and after you have heard that story a million times, the lyrics have a beautiful new picture to paint.

COMPLETELY FUCKING EPIC.

[saliasoka]

thanks to hang over 2 i'm here watching and listening to this beautiful song!!!

[724tone]

AMERICA!!!



[njjustin]

I listened to this on a iphone that I synced with my ipad which had been synced with my mac . Lol..so what gramps just be happy there are some young people who like good music still.

[T3LT]

god damn billy joel is a boss

[Jewmaine87]

Okay now i'm gonna go watch the Perfect Storm and go fishing in the morning. All thanks to Billy Joel.

[Kkrouton]

Billy Joel has to be one of America's greatest musical geniuses.

[lavishhef]

Thumbs up if you was watching Hangover 2, heard this song, Got your iPhone out, used shazam and now quietly enjoying this song.

[kingpower439]

@lavishhef: exactly what i did, but i used a blackberry, not an iphone :-)

[Dactuck]

@lavishhef Really? An iPhone, led you to a classic Billy Joel song. A true child, of half truths, and self-abnegation. The poster representation of ALL that is wrong with our democracy. You're the Hangover, bitch. I don't need a sequel. 

[lavishhef]

@Dactuck shut up and stop crying. can't we just enjoy the music instead of you bitching like your some music veteran.

[Cibekata]

Shame on me ...t took me a really long time to get here (19 years)

[kazaDSK]

classic

[darius28z]

this tune has always been awsome but h2 was funny lol . deadliest catch should have used this song .

[kishanptl114]

The hangover 2 brought me here, and all the people who say they don't need a movie to know this song are lying..

[Evarya]

@kishanptl114

Really? I'm not even old enough to see Hangover 2 and I have loved this song for over two years. And I am most definitely not lying.

[jfabproductions]

@kishanptl114 You my friend are REALLY stupid. Do you know how popular Billy Joel is? This song has been out for 20 fucking years I heard it the year it came out.

[TazzyBall]

Thumbs up if Hangover 2 sent u here

[kkarsdupa]

@TazzyBall yep

[kkarsdupa]

@TazzyBall greAT TUNE WHEN I SAW MOVIE BEEN LISTENING NON STOP

[StrikeNimitz]

[RN1987RN]

@StrikeNimitz that was the same way it reached me!

[StrikeNimitz]

@RN1987RN hi-5 man.

[funrizwan]

Thumbs up if a good taste in music brought you here,

not The Hangover.

[Atomatoid]

@funrizwan All of the people who saw "The Hangover" and are here now are here now because they heard Downeaster and loved it so much that they took the time to find out the artist. You're not a music buff just because you discovered this song before them.

[deanbrink]

..this song is my life ..i am the downeaster alexa and the ruff ocean is life and navigating thru these waters is dangerous ..all for love of your family and being a strong leader and provider in my life...my god what a powerful metaphor.... to me......thank you billy your real

@deanbrink That's so sexy. :)
