[LegionarioPersa]

[SirScrambles]

[pelleseiler]

RIP SARAH BURKE



[thelegacyofjack]

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints any fuckin day of the week!

[catfishakaAMC]

@thelegacyofjack The sinners are much more fun! How true!

[pumpkinghead15]

@thelegacyofjack the sinners are MUCH more fun

[Chukwillard]

did he die?

[coppercrepes]

Hahaha not many people know that this song is about a man trying to get a catholic nun to have sex with him

[mrpartietime]

@coppercrepes it wasnt a nun it was just a young catholic girl

[TheMasterlukej24]

@coppercrepes At first I wanted to mock your comment, because the song is so obviously about that, but then I remembered that most people are stupid.

[kevin122380]

Im an atheist so ill stick with reality over unproven fairy- tails.

[RandomTaraHannah]

@kevin122380 There not "unproven fairy-tails" :) but you can choose who you want to be

[NicMIc94]

RIP Logan Dam and Becca Mason. You Will Be Missed.

[Emlis16]

Some Christian video called "Only the good die young" made me think of this <3

[EmmaFosterz]

The 27 club, the good die young

[MotorCityKitty79]

DAMN he was a fine lookin' man... :)

[ThedeerHunter54]

Ok ik everyone is going to flip out on me for asking this but who is that guy in the vid in the beginning is it Joel?

[BigNorman14]

@ThedeerHunter54 Not flipping out on ya, just thought I'd help you for future reference. Go to google, type in Billy Joel and on the left side of your screen, left-click on the word Images once.

[grimel2]

@ThedeerHunter54 James Dean

[Littlestraincloud]

@ThedeerHunter54 That's James Dean.

[TheJackDecker]

You might say this song is beautiful.

[liekzomgafanboy]

@YourFaceWillDie468 Can I join this friendship, even though I am a 15 year old who uses proper grammar?

[007glazenby]

@liekzomgafanboy Hell, I'm 13. My Dad raised me on this stuff, the only song that would make me happy as a baby was Chuck Berry's "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man.

[JohnTurnabout]

Does that mean I'm bad?

[4444ThinLizzy]

I know this all too damn well !

[neosuna1]

@4444ThinLizzy What part?

[LadyVandelou]

Love it !

[nickfury1012]

how true. only the good die young. 

[lukassnakeman]

i think its more like only the lucky die young

[kushasaures]

@lukassnakeman What's lucky about dying young? If you are too selfish to enjoy both the good and the bad in life, you need to wake up. Life is fucking amazing. Maybe you just need to have more fun... I suggest medical marijuana if you qualify.

[Nyxlave]

@kushasaures Well, from a christian perspective, it would be better to die while innocent and guaranteed entrance to heaven.

Personally, as someone without belief, I can only live as if this world is the only one because that is all I know. I'm not going to live a boring, uneventful life on the off-chance that there's a heaven.

Likewise, if I see someone trying to kill me, I'm not going to let them do so on the off-chance that I'm hallucinating and they're not trying to kill me.

[kevin122380]

@Nyxlave Well as an atheist im educated enough to know that tere is not one shred of archeological evidence that says your imaginary,space-Christ existed. Also, nothing in the fairy-tale bible has ever been proven either! They merly copied your god from 1000's of gods/goddesses that were worshipped before yours.

[Nyxlave]

@kevin122380 I love it when people reply to a comment without reading it, don't you?

"As someone without belief" means that I am not a christian, since christianity is a religion. As a general rule, religions require belief.

That doesn't mean I don't understand a christian point of view, though. People like you are why I have to differentiate between myself and Atheists. Most of you seem like self-righteous and disrespectful people who are angry at a God that they claim doesn't exist.

[JLCoslett]

I wish I could play the sax like that

[nuigyg]

Im 84 and I'm good

[nickfury1012]

@nuigyg who said 84 was old? haha

[neosuna1]

@nickfury1012 Nice!! Thanx!

[JoeWalkerAddict]

@nuigyg It didn't say the good always die young, just that they're the only ones who do

[Jackisbored1]

@nuigyg You missed the point entirely. He is not saying young as in your age, he's talking about innocence. The Good may live a long time, but the Bad live more in less time. Thus, of those that die at an early age, only those that were good actually die young.

[Jantv81]

Don't care much for the lyrics, but like the beat.

[sroualdz]

I love Billy Joel! Although my favorite song of his is The Piano Man.

[MyPieman1]

im sorry Rainboweater54 but no glee did in fact not make this better in fact glee made it so i havent been able to here this song for the longest time without wanting to puch who ever was singing it besides billy!

[RainbowEater54]

Glee made this so much better.

[kd5lpr]

@RainbowEater54 Glee can go suck a cock they dont get even close to being good

[headbanger2319]

@RainbowEater54 go kill your self

[RainbowEater54]

@headbanger2319 Nah, I'm good thanks.

[LaughJester9000]

@RainbowEater54 Don't even fucking start it.

[JEF2293]

whom the gods love, die young....yes...the sinners are much more fun.

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

live fast die young, fuc it

[splinter360]

I was told the reason the good die young is so that they don't have to experience old age. Apparently God keeps the wicked on earth to live out their days in old age.

[nothinmoretosay]

@splinter360 What about those who commit suicide? Does that count as God taking them, dying young, or are they still the wicked?

[Jantv81]

@nothinmoretosay my dad committed suicide, I think it depends if they have accepted Jesus as their savior before hand. My dad left a note to my mom saying he did love Jesus and how he wanted to go to Heaven. But I could be wrong too. Only God the creator knows.

[supervaginareturns]

Billy is right the good die young because they never truly live. I wish i hadn't been so good. Unfortunately, I can't change the past. 19 is a bit late for a man but I may as well bring myself back to life by being a little naughty preferably with a redhead.

[kenkenrocksable]

he looks like stanley from street car name desire

[scotfreak]

the last picture got me, it realy got me.

jimmy dean fans will understand

[puppylo9278]

is that why a puppie got ran over last night?:(

[itsmedouglast]

JAMES DEANNNNNNN! <3

[timbodaclown]

man, billy joel must have really wanted to get laid when he wrote this

[tazman4721]

i no the meaning of this song i lost my mom 2 young she was only 65 AND a real friend at around 60 both were good 2 the community

[RCPD916]

@tazman4721 funny that it's about a guy trying to get a catholic virgin into bed with him.

[Lemonz617]

@RCPD916

Ha ha. That was hilarious!

[SirBraxton1989]

I always think of James Dean when I hear this song.

[mikeymike441]

im 19 yrs old and i love this song, my ma loves billy joel and she played it all the time, and growing up i always heard it... now i live by it!!

[jessiem13579]

I love this song!!!!!! I just start dancing whenever I hear it

[xo2604]

james dean was pretty fine

[jennygroom73]

Why do people b***h about grammar when there's music playing. (As well, when theres one of the most sexual creatures ever to exiat on the screen?)

[jmfooter14]

My teacher was blaring this in class today. I go to a Catholic High School:)

[TheIloutube]

I could listen to this over and over and it would NEVER get old. It reminds me sooo much of my friend...

[JaydenIsabella]

@ConfusedMover

Maybe she's a catholic.

;)

[TSavs98]

Final line of Red dwarf :D



[Negative1One]

This music is quite relevant. James Dean loved Catholic school girls.

[jungleman68]

[TokeMcBudz]

i dont give a fuck so fuck the fuck off i love billy and all he ever did so when im listing to you on hear then i learn my grammer till then its a free countery and this is not my personel blog this is a truely good video for this song and your wasteing your time replying to me what a shame im done with this im not going to take away frome good ppl that have shit to say all so for those that are reading this stop and listing to a damn good song sooooooooooooooooo fuck you all and good night

[mikeymike441]

@TokeMcBudz nice name spudz mckenzie

[amyfarrugia1]

Billy Joel and James Dean. My two favourite men in one video!

[TokeMcBudz]

and yet you responed to it fuckng idiot and im not on hear to be serious this is you tube not the UN so Mr awesomedicksucker fuck you o and Beethoven couldnt spell eather tell me ppl didnt take him serious and i do have spell check i just dont use it to piss off ppl like you

[DieSchulzwagon]

@TokeMcBudz No one will take you seriously if you do not have good grammar. It is a basic skill for communication and I've seen elementary students who are more capable than you. Also, trying to make up for your lack of grammar with petty insults and swearing is not working either. It only makes you seem to be even more of a moron than what people first assumed. Oh yeah, awesome song btw! Didn't want to rant without at least complimenting the video! :)

[manibe10]

@DieSchulzwagon No. Only pretentious assholes like you will judge someone for having bad grammer. If you are in a discussion and you start insulting a persons grammer thats a good sign that you have nothing else to say and you lost the argument. Take a good look around. The people who correct people grammer are people with a shit ton of Degrees and make jack shit for money.

[DieSchulzwagon]

@manibe10 Did you even read the comment of who I was talking to? "so Mr awesomedicksucker fuck you o and Beethoven couldnt spell eather tell me ppl didnt take him serious and i do have spell check i just dont use it to piss off ppl like you". THAT is who you're defending. Also it's people's grammar not "people grammer". Once again also, I'm not a pretentious asshole with a "shit ton of degrees". I'm a 16 year old in high school who actually knows how to speak the English language.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@DieSchulzwagon "I'm a 16 year old in high school who actually knows how to speak the English language."

As am I! That's how I roll. A 16-year-old who uses proper grammar, even on the Internet, is a friend of mine. :) A friend of the devil is a friend of mine too. I'm gonna go listen to some Grateful Dead now. Heheheh.

[TokeMcBudz]

look you made my point do you fell better now you showed me the error of my ways i still dont give a damn about spelling and your 21 lets hope billy keeps his word and lets you die young an epilepsy fit would be ironic for a gamer fingers crossed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i still love this song

[Hirt1026]

I want this played at my funeral

[P0litiCallyIncorrect]

I know I'm young, but I'm not dying any time soon.

[RandomAmericanGuy]

@P0litiCallyIncorrect you are if your good.

[P0litiCallyIncorrect]

@RandomAmericanGuy That...that was what I was saying.

[RandomAmericanGuy]

@P0litiCallyIncorrect so you're bad?

[P0litiCallyIncorrect]

@RandomAmericanGuy ...Yes

[TokeMcBudz]

if you mean my spelling then i really dont give a shit about gramer stolen from every part of the world to make its own fucked words we will all be wrom food in the next 80 years or a piel of ash form a kilaton bomb and the english words may even resabel that of the french o wait it all ready dose ya go America and if your not a asshole and really want to know just look at my name and being that im still hear only the good die young!!!! god i love billy Joel

[xxslugviciousxx]

@TokeMcBudz

Its actually spelled "Grammar"

[awesomeologyism]

@TokeMcBudz

ಠ_ಠ

You realize no one will take you seriously with your ranting and vomit-worthy grammar. No offence.

[TheDRedWings]

Whats the movie called?

[MsDeadDawn]

@TheDRedWings its several movies the video is a compilation of James dean Films and pictures

[jellyfishattack]

I can't believe that anyone thinks this is a song about anything but being a certain Catholic girl's "1st" one!

It isn't about good people dying young nor is Joel slagging Roman Catholicism.

It hit 18 in Canada and 24 in the US in 1977. It will always be my favourite of his songs.

[TheAnomaly00]

@jellyfishattack well actually there is an interesting story behind the song it was originally about a friend of his who had died but then he met a girl named Virginia who was catholic and so he changed the song t try and get with her and it apparently worked and the line "only the good die young" was all that was left of the original song.

[TokeMcBudz]

its sad thers ppl out ther in half millon doller cars that never herd of James Dean or Billy Joel its true only the good die young thats why im still hear thers 42 ppl id like to trade of a few dead frends tho how could you dislike James or Billy each is his own i guss

[PatarHD]

@TokeMcBudz Where can I learn to talk like you?

[elancaster83]

This song is very indicative of the life of James Dean, great choice for a video

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[aquawriterrain]

Awesome music, don't care about what the lyrics mean or miley cyrus. rest in peace all of the good that died young.

[52wbending52]

shut up about Miley Cyrus this is my place to relax with great music and excape mordern times so SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!

[JoeEC420]

@52wbending52 good point! stop talking about you know who and start listlening to billy joel Man i Was Born The Wrong Time Period!!!!

[sircharlieboy2011]

@JoeEC420 Yeah, my mom introduced me to Billy Joel, and I like him. I'm a modern teenager, and I like this stuff!!

[jessicaaxo7]

i find it weird when people comment on this song about their friends dying. like did your friend die cause they didnt have sex with billy joel lol...cause thats what this song is actually about if you actually listen to it...

[ghostfaceace]

@jessicaaxo7 u da man!! so trueeee

[makeitbluer]

[zturner100]

I remember my mom had a mixed tape she would play when we were on vacation, and this was one of the songs on there. :) I love it.

[vince12961]

[divaofscience]

8th grade - the year I was confirmed LOL! My favorite Billy Joel song ever...

[adamcoolcat2468]

[ConfusedMover]

Wtf is Miley Cyrus doing in the suggestion bar?

[misshardycena]

@ConfusedMover They show it as a featured video..

[canuckleful]

@ConfusedMover Well, you'll note she's young...and alive XD

[StylixTWC]

@ConfusedMover

Good question!

[Darkblossomxx]

@ConfusedMover wow what an original comment!And is it necessary to mention her on this video??by the way the video is a featured video which means the company paid for the video to be there. ok so stop your whining.

[bladeddc92]

@Darkblossomxx Are you on your period or something? Shut up and enjoy Billy Joel.

[Darkblossomxx]

@bladeddc92 No its just annoying asses like you always have to comment about shit singers on good singer videos

[RealMenofAngryBirds]

@Darkblossomxx There's no such thing as a shit singer, except for Rebecca Black which is basically a unanimous vote she's a shit singer.

Really though, there's no such thing as a shit singer, because it's all a matter of opinion.

[Darkblossomxx]

@RealMenofAngryBirds that made no sense you say rebbecca blacks a shit singer then you say theres no such thing as a shit singer......

[RealMenofAngryBirds]

@Darkblossomxx She is a shit singer because it's a unanimous vote that no one likes her.

[Darkblossomxx]

@RealMenofAngryBirds same with miley cyrus!

[bladeddc92]

@Darkblossomxx Maybe you should look at the user names. I didn't say anything about that bitch. I said shut up and listen to Billy, dammit!

[carven2004eca]

@ConfusedMover Cyrus > Joel. Now deal with it

[halo667946]

@ConfusedMover ikr

[ColdSpringHarbor1971]

James Dean!!!

[zigzag0000]

"They say there's a heaven for those who will wait

Some say it's better but I say it ain't

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints

the sinners are much more fun..."

[amberdanielle001]

Finally, whoever has been touched by this video, I'm glad to have been able to provide that for you! I love James Dean and I am just beginning to revisit his work. RIP Jimmy.

[amberdanielle001]

...I think we can take different meanings from music and there is nothing wrong with that.

I also see many people heard this song originally in Glee. I don't know why there is anything wrong with that. It can be a silly show with not the best acting at times, but if it is bring classics like this to the younger generation, who cares?

Also, someone asked which movies the clips in the video are from. There are clips from all three of his films, East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant.

[amberdanielle001]

Hello! I made this video a few years ago, when I was 15! I can't figure out what my password is for my old account. I definitely didn't imagine it would get so many views/comments when I posted it, nor did I think it would start so many arguments and conversations in the comments! In response to a few, I have heard many conflicting opinions on the meaning of the song. I understand it's original meaning is different than what is portrayed in the video, but... (cont in next comment)

[MegamanStarforce756]

Why the hell is Party in the USA the featured Video from a Billy Joel Song???

[joemoe23]

Love James Dean, Love this song and btw this song has some of the most clever lyrics ever written in rock history.

[acook2727]

Here's an idea, Let's talk about Glee on Glee's page.

[paddonc]

you say one thing! he says another! then you all switch back again!

[itsreallynobigdeal42]

I enjoy how people are taking the lyrics so seriously like with people dying! The song is about how billy is trying to get in virginias pants and getting her to go against her religion, not how virginia died as a young girl. Sheesh listen to the lyrics. And so what if glee introduced some younger people to the song. It wasnt made in our generation its understandable that they hadent heard it before, just be happy the are appriciating the classics more now because of glee

[acook2727]

Glee??? REALLY! You guys have absolutely no idea what music is do you? It fucking takes a multi-billion dollar International corporation to air it on a prime-time show for you douche-nozzles to even hear THIS SONG! A song mind you, that has been around for close to 35 years!

I think it's time to turn off the B-Ber and crank the classics for these clowns.....Because they are clearly missing one of the most influential points in modern day music.

[dajdeny]

@acook2727 mate chill, will you? it's impossible to know every song ever written. Do i bash on you because i know songs that you dont know about? no.. so chillax please mon!

[wereoutahere]

@acook2727 Dude, If you had any respect for music and especially a performer that you like so much, you would step back, chill out and realise that what covers like this are trying to do other things then make money. They are trying to show all different styles and generations of music for everyone, and if people are going on to youtube again to listen to this song then it's just showing that it works.

[GamingFeud]

R.I.P. Ryan Dunn!

[bridget117]

Related song: party in the USA....ironic?



[Rainette86]

Thumbs up if you're listening to this song thanks to Glee.

[justgothis]

catholic girls dont always start late :P

[LadyR0ck3r25]

GLEE RUINED THIS SONG TOO!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I want to cry now! They need to stop ruining my good old rock'n roll!

[topzombie3]

@LadyR0ck3r25 yea sadly

[brothers0fwar]

farewell ryan dunn

[akimball98]

@brothers0fwar i seriousluy just posted this song for him. its fucking true. makes me cry.

[brothers0fwar]

@akimball98 your a good person then am i right?

[iceteaguy]

Miley Cyrus needs to gtfo the suggestions list.

[DumDumHigh]

this song is one of the most accurate portrayals of how life works

[DaveWollenberg]

Billy hit #24 in Billboard, 7-8-78. God bless ya, Amber, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Billy!

[mynameisdarthtater]

The sign at the beginning says "Salinas," I'm rather sure that that's where Of Mice and Men takes place.

[soawesome]

How frickin' sheltered are you people that never heard this song before it was on Glee? That's almost as bad as managing to not hear Stairway to Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody.

[Californiway]

The piano in the beginning is amazing!!

[TheChills00]

Great song

I love how it sounds so deep but its really just a song asking for sex from a catholic girl
