[bigmarty11288]

@bethmariew No. He didn't start the fire.

[Xtrov]

I have to thank Step Brothers for reminding me of this song. The Fucking Catalina Wine Mixer!

[PartyHardPublicity]

This song is so hard not to sing along to

[aluminiumface]

second guy coming out of the toilet overdoes it a bit with the janitor at the end

[ruissman]

Good acting by Al Sharpton!

[MrGodofwow]

omg! 1:37!

[alwaysmaggot11]

How am I suppost to watch with LMFAO staring at me like that?

[GreenEileen]

I'm studying pop music in school and we're doing this piece in choir class... It's very fun!

[samguy0]

at work, when someone is really just sucking and taking forever, you'll hear it "whooOOooa... for THE LONGEST time"

[mcrgaf]

Why can't there by music like this now? Amazing artist with pure soul in his voice.

[TheWerewolfJesus]

Is there seriously a Chris Brown ad on this? "Hey there viewer, if you wanted to hear an easy-listening Billy Joel croon from the 80's, maybe you'd consider checking out something by the guy who put Rihanna in the hospital!" Thanks, Vevo, but I don't support domestic abuser asshats like Breezy.

[dcwl45]

Every time I'm having a bad day, I throw on this works every time.

[kingeriq80]

great song jus would b greater if there were women jus sayin

[jazzas90000]

gotta love white people :)

[gtrman12887]

i walked into my computer screen snapping my fingers....now i gotta replace my screen....

[Facehead090]

Glee Club at my college sang this last night. It was beautiful.

[mia33021]

I love this song. This would be the perfect song to sing on the NYC subway. You could jump on at one stop and start sing and snapping away!

[muzick4prez]

Out of all the characters that made me laugh in this video.... The black janitor has got to take the cake! Great song, better video.

[gannonb4u]

The best thing about Billy Joel was that he wrote lyrics from his heart and his life experiences.

[sylviadressel]

My boyfriend and eight of his friends serenaded this to me on Valentine's day in the middle of class. I'm a sophomore in high school, he's a junior. The best fucking thing ever.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@sylviadressel You wouldn't happen to go to Cheltenham High School?

[sylviadressel]

@YourFaceWillDie468 No, but it's hilarious that that happened at your school too. High fives all around.

[DJBurnRate1]

START THE FIRE!

[lazyhead123]

"Sir, we strictly do 80's Joel Bebop"

[VodhrBlodh]

67 people havent had any action "For the longest Time!"

[xmfritzx]

Caveman 1: WOOOOAAAAH... OHHHWOAAH OH. FOR THE LONGEST..

Caveman 2: If.. you.. say goodbye to me tonight...

[JordnBee]

I haven't heard this in the longest time.

[ShinkaHentai]

3:09 Subtle Racism; That hasn't happened for the longest time ;p

The previous generation says it was a more innocent time, but then they burned black people.

[mrdropkicker1]

@ShinkaHentai Wow, a cynic and a nitpick. Just enjoy the song buster.

[TheDon10120]

@ShinkaHentai Im from the new generation and i see nothing wrong with. I see something wrong with you though. Its assholes like you who raise the issue of race. Most people wouldn't of thought about it twice if it wasnt for you. Thanks troll.

[Kujakuseki01]

The close up shots of the backup vocalists are hilarious looking. :D

[MrJason300]

This song just randomly popped into my head and I had to find it lol

[ThatJewishPerson0]

so when VEVO makes it so Kanye doesn't stare at you, they give his shirt a face to stare at you. Great.

[RhyseeB]

an absolutely timeless song, by an absolutely legendary songwriter.... what could be better?

[goforferfection]

I prefer Rhett and Link singing it.

[bucko1138]

Is that John Henson singing bass? LOL

[LaughJester9000]

>Click on link for billy joel song

>See ad for Kanye West and Jay-Z "Niggas in Paris"

>I'm depressed now

[aliensarereal666]

this ad for this video is filled with retarded pedophile faggot aids patients!

[fuzzypaws17]

Thank you Ling for making my heart live again...

[YouveBeenKicked]

am i the only that see's this as the opening to Bioshock Infinite

[sherman573]

i never thought that it was a guy singing the high voice out of the acapella

[SarcasmIsNOTNeeded]

I don't care what other people say. Billy Joel is an awesome dancer.

[EriK9Shep]

I'm thinking of having me and my friends sing this to a girl I like when I ask her to prom. If there are any girls that could give me your thoughts. If a group of guys sang this to you and a guy asked you to prom, it would probably be in front of some of her friends....

[aliensarereal666]

@EriK9Shep it's an awesome idea,unfortunately your generation has been watered downed so much with lil' wayne and american idol,etc,that it probably wouldn't go over so well! try it any how and fuck what the drones say to you! after college,you'll be making the money and fucking the chicks!last laughs are the sweetest! ;)

[MoonJung82]

@EriK9Shep My sister's guy friends did exactly that sort of thing with this song, among others. That was class of '97, but I'd like to think young people are still vaguely aware of this song or can appreciate its awesomeness regardless.

[oioitran]

@EriK9Shep go for it! I would love if a guy and his friends sung this to me! I'm 21, and well, I like older, classical music, and rock music. I'm not into hip hop and stuff. But its a really cute thing to do, i'm sure that she'd appreciate it. Besides, who couldn't like this song?

[Unleashed90876]

@EriK9Shep it would work if have been already been flirting with her, gotten to know her a little, and she has shone some interest in you

[Unleashed90876]

@Unleashed90876 or if she is already your friend

[TheNgamer1]

Does anyone else like providing backup vocals when listening to this?

[nicscrubs]

@TheNgamer1 you cant help it!

[squaretrapezoid]

@TheNgamer1 ba da daaaaaaaaa

[onroute337]

Dat Hair!

[DRUSH37]

Back when you could smoke anywhere you wanted.

[FrostyChrome]

The best song I've heard today

[aliensarereal666]

@FrostyChrome best song i've heard EVER!

[JeiFSE]

if sum guys walked in on me and starting singing like that....fuck it....i'll start singing too lolll, might as well....

[km721mgb]

I haven't heard this song for the longest time.

[jedijones]

@km721mgb I heard this song "For the Longest Time" for the first time a long time ago.

[MsMaryMackDressedOK]

NOT MANY TOP COMMENTS my time to shine.

I LiKe TuRtLeS :O

[MrGamerman001]

good song.

[lightsoutN1SMO]

i created an account just to like this song and to comment on this video

[manhidnatao]

we're singing this in choir :) love this songg :D

[snowtires]

I just realized that the melody in the verses is a major key version of the 'The Stranger' theme. My mind is blown.

[DorotkaUS]

Love this!



[leanne0145]

Any time I hear this song I have to sing it. It doesn't matter if I'm standing in the middle of the grocery store...and for that I apologize, America. :)

[gilchirst97]

i feel like im in the 70s agin

[RhyseeB]

@gilchirst97 I think you mean the 80's

[Ragnorok321]

Thumbs up if you think the room should have caught on fire at 0:45 when he just throws the cigarette on the ground.

[Archeminos]

@Ragnorok321 Thats a different Billy Joel video in which he refuses to take the blame.

[vicious2321]

GAY!!!!!

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@vicious2321 Are you talking about yourself?

[RhyseeB]

@vicious2321 grow up.

[doctordoctr]

eargasm that all

[GuitarToneFreak]

66 people don't like the song, that's fine by me - I love it!

[ToricArts]

Songs like this give me chills.

What a melody!

[bobiana289]

Its amazing how their is a song for everything going on in ones life. I LOVE MUSIC.

people need to just accept musical differences, if it makes you feel good, then listen to it.

[TMWTSB]

its almost like a scene from good fellas...weird....

[nostyx]

Great song... reminds me of my childhood in the 80s. I don't quite understand the concept of the video though; is Billy at like a reunion or something then has a flashback about life at the school during the 50s?

[jamesissoawesomeful]

@nostyx yes

[spockles]

66 people hate real music sorry its not about phones bling hoes or murder being cool go back to your rap bullshit you dont deserve hearing

[commyforce768]

Working in a grocery store I am probably the only younger adult that knows this song before working there, enjoy every time it comes on.

[ohio712]

love this song rap means retards atemped poetry lol

[flippinSticks]

I wish I the self control to not look at the comments of youtube videos.

[iiloveyoulots]

64 dislikes? Nice try Justin..

[GOPsMrDependable]

@iiloveyoulots HAHAHAHA. NO not funny

[lawlzorz17]

HE'S HARMONIZING WITH HIMSELF HOLY SHIT BIILLY J RULES

[RapidFoxProductions]

@lawlzorz17 comment written by billy joel :p

[ThePatrick1118]

another reason i wish i grew up in the 80s

[EpicRiseToFail]

I love this song!

[punkx52]

This is what you call a classic song, and classic music video.

both fit perfect.

[cbl1948]

The hell with how good this video is, for all you juveniles and infants playing wannabee music critics on the sole basis of your "opinions." You are the very definition and heart of what the words ignorance and illiterate are. Oh, and yes - excuse me for using such "big" words that you can't understand. Try using not only your ears when you listen to music, but maybe one or two of those grey cells sitting in your thick fucking skulls. Almost 8,500 people found enough to like with this song.

[pincheflakes]

@cbl1948 you are a very ignorant and egotistical person aren't you?

[lorddj007]

Listening this in 2011

[johnnydeppfanCA]

awesome song !!!!!!

[harry426]

Videoclips really weren't Joel's strenght, but god damn are his songs awesome.

[dutchboy450]

Its called the 80's....that is how they danced.

[slamshrk31]

honestly one of the best singers ever.

[TheRealFatBen]

The good old days, when you can smoke in any building

[laughlaugh2wice]

okayish song......okayish guy.....fagget ass dancing......

[PlanetZelka]

@laughlaugh2wice You do know that this was decades ago right? There wasn't any dancing where men smack girl's butts and other dirty dancing...

[TheAlxxHydeShow]

@laughlaugh2wice I bet it's better than what you can do, Man! This style of dancing can get more chicks in an hour than you probably could in ten lifetimes! Shut up!

[Aztecius]

This will be in my head forever.

[IRON5]

This is a great song the lyrics are meaningful....

[cluedo1]

"The song features Joel on lead vocals and all backing vocals."

After I read that, I fell off my chair.

[ashesofapocalypse22]

like if Family Guy brought you here :)

[MrJeffk31th]

Quit whining about music being dead, it isn't! If you don't like music today quit bitching and make your own.

[SkorpionOne]

@MrJeffk31th HAHAHA LOL:)

[VegetarianZombie140]

Demi Lovato ads and related videos.

No me gusta.

[demoBLASTed]

If you don't like this song, don't comment. Easy.

(This song is incredible and amazing btw)

[Mooskadoo]

@demoBLASTed

your moms incredible and easy btw.

[demoBLASTed]

@Mooskadoo Not sure to take that as an insult or a complement.

[demoBLASTed]

@Mooskadoo Insult or complement? Could be either one. And my mom actually is incredible.

[EncantoChris]

@demoBLASTed Thank you

[jondeik]

@demoBLASTed I love that a regular guy from Levittown, New York can become a famous singer like this by singing about real-life issues and real-life feelings that everyone can relate to. Granted, maybe he's not "normal" at all because of this. Maybe this is what makes him special.

[ramrod126]

@jondeik Joel was born in the Bronx[1] and raised in Hicksville, New York. Don't get me wrong. I love this shit but your facts are wrong.

[jondeik]

@ramrod126 You're splitting hairs. Take a look at the map of Hicksville. The Levittown Parkway is in Hicksville, NY, which may as well be the same town. Joel has talked of growing up in Levittown. They're right next to each other. It's like telling people I grew up in Philly. I actually grew up in Levittown, Pennsylvania. But it's considered "Philly" because I'm 10 minutes from the edge of Philly. Joel was closer to his Levittown than I was to my Philly.

[ShinkaHentai]

Truth is just Facts

Facts are just History

@ShinkaHentai TV Tropes - Insane Troll Logic

[gg4465a]

@whatever3210 Out of 5,109,572 views, I find it entirely plausible that 63 people really just didn't like this song.

[TheTyler456123]

Music died in the 90s. I want this music back.

[DarkSeedRPG]

@TheTyler456123 Music is in a coma, it may be brain dead but theres some form of it still out there alive. FIND IT!

[Pyro670]

@DarkSeedRPG for statement alone, you are a hero.

[damianimmortalcomics]

out of (number of views) that (number of dislikes)/2 just plain dont like emotions and would rather listen to songs about liking the effects of drugs and raping people well thats all im going to say (all this is sarcasm)

[1987Fate]

I like this music.  Billy Joel is freaking awesome.

[alterbridgefan99]

Sometimes the mood just STRIKES me and I HAVE TO listen to this song!!

[slayerrunes]

How can anybody hate this music. Then again people like Ke$ha, Justin Bieber, Katey Perry (I'll admit she used to be okay back when she was somewhat original and her music made a bit of sense). But seriously this has to be one of my most favorite songs of all time and maybe even my most favorite. The image that this song portrays and how catchy it is makes it a complete and instant classic.

[mirdaddy12]

family guy ctfuuu

[YukonBloamie]

Who hates this? It's beautiful. And it was a retro piece. PWNAGE!

[sunflowernoo]

Jersey Shore boys in retrospect.

[topazopalstar]

I guess you have to appreciate the skill it takes to sing close harmony like that to enjoy the rest of the levels of this song...besides it capturing a feeling beautifully. Try and put different words to the emotions he's expressing, I dare ya.

[vicious2321]

this song blows, hahahahahahaha my friend showed it ta me,

[jibster94]

@vicious2321

wow you are a looser

[vicious2321]

@jibster94 i am not a loser, :) this song just blows dick,

[Aeroblacksmith]

@vicious2321 Actually, compared to what is being broadcast today, this song is king. The only reason it's not being played on the radio these days is because it's been outdated.

On another note, if this song "blows dick", why are you spending so much time on it commenting on other people's opinions?

With this to ponder, I leave you a question:What benefits you by shoving your beliefs down other's throats, then endless repeating them to make sure they remember it?

0 Characters remain so bye.

[vicious2321]

@Aeroblacksmith ohh, offensive, :)

[jibster94]

@vicious2321 take some advice from demoBLASTed

if you dont like it leave 

[reddragon151986]

@vicious2321 no one cares what you think. if you really hate it then don't listen to it. billy joel is a great music artist. you try singing a song with no way to keep beat and no music other than your voice.

[cbl1948]

@reddragon151986 Love it - you're absolutely right!! All these musically challenged "critics" on this site make me want to laugh and throw up at the same time. Out of the 65 dislikes I see above, I seriously, seriously doubt a single one of them could sing a single note on pitch and with any melody if their sorry ass lives depended on it. For that matter, I doubt they could play a single note clearly and well on ANY instrument. What's the use, my friend? No taste, no reas

[aurbina12]

@vicious2321 What the fuck doesn't "blows" to you... Justin Bieber?

[vicious2321]

@aurbina12 ilike how u all say justin beiber, (:
