i have a friend at school, his name is paul, i annoy him ALL the time with the line "now paul is a real estate novelist, who never had time for a wife"
You know what's creepy? A few months ago I was working on our computer and listening to my iPod, and this song came on. At that time, we were having the house appraised, and I could slightly hear my mom and dad talking about it in the kitchen. Just when Billy Joel says, "Now, Paul was a real estate novelist," my dad says the name of the guy, which is Paul.
Literally, the two words almost overlapped. It freaked me out, man.
Also, the fact that 27 disliked thing video, had better because of the grammar. If it is because they don't like Billy Joel, they better get their rednecks out of my USA.
@TheRollingStoner91 I have to agree with @Glaedrflame you do "hear energy like this in new miusic" it is just REALLY hard to find because as he/she said "you just have to dig through about 10000 pieces of shit to find it"
Ugg.. people if you just came on this video to post hate comments and ruin everybody else's musical experiences, SHUT UP! Its rude and annoying, if your just gonna post hate comments just delete your youtube account. P.S I ♥♥♥ THIS SONG!!
this song came on the radio 12/24/2011. Me and my 2 brothers and my dad were driving back home from the Christmas Eve Party that my grandpa had at his house and my mom and sister where in my grandma's car because my grandma was going to drop us off at my house and that's a Christmas Eve to remember. :) Then the Paul McCartney "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" Song came on before this song came on. :)
This song reminds me of such a simpler time when I was very young, when everything was just so carefree, no worries at all. Not one. I long for those times again.
@Walnut444ify i agree with you 100% but then when we where young we wished we could of been older and everyone would always tell you to enjoy it while it lasts and try not to grow up to fast.. I wish I listen to them.. But that is why we have music to help us remember the good old times..
@Walnut444ify Funny, 'cause this song is filled, practically all about peoples problems and their unhealthy way of drowning them with song and beer. I absolutely love the song, but when you pay attention to the lyrics you feel sorry for all those people who are basically just epithets for standard kinds of people who go to bars to get away from their problems.
@paxmorgana I know, I understand that when I listen to the lyrics. It reminds me of my childhood mainly because of how often I would listen to it with my dad, not because of the lyrical meaning. If anything the lyrics tend to apply to my current life...
My Lord and Lady, what do they teach you people in these schools? A fetus is an infant in the mother's womb after the embryonic stage and until birth. The term is being here as an euphemism for youth in general.
God this probably sounds so lame but MAN the classics touch my heart. I'm serious, this stuff just makes me smile, just makes me feel so good, hell, Piano Man sometimes brings a tear to my eye. I don't hate modern music but it just doesn't have the soul of the classics.
i love this song! I just love it - i don't know why! something about it! i am a 13 year old girl too :D which is weird cause now a days this is considered 'old' or 'boring' but its a classic! (: i wish people could understand live
I'm not going to say my name. I'm not going to say my age but I will say I was at Ruby Tuesday a few months ago on a saturday night with my family we were tired and kinda depressed after driving since 6am and I remember this song came on. My mother smiled slightly and nodded her head to the tune. I liked the song though I never heard it before and then she started singing along quietly with it and I did the same. She told me it was one of her favorites when she was young and now it's one of mine
@TheBansic Man, what do they teach in these schools? A fetus is the developmental stage of an infant mammal (including human) in the mother's womb after the embryonic stage and until birth. The term is being used here as an euphemism for youth in general.
My boyfriend and I love these old kinds of songs, and this is one of our favorites. It's funny to see the weird looks we get when we walk around after school gets out singing these songs without a care in the world. People think we're crazy, and maybe we are, but heck, we couldn't care less.
@ducksrule3333 No one cares how old you are. Don't think you're special cause you listen to music like this, cause you really aren't. And the ducks don't rule.
if you compare this to anything nowadays, this wins
