Rap this, rap that. Rap is my favorite genre and I can appreciate the genius of this. Calm down white people! (lol)

[manweller1]

Good ole days.

[USDJ2722]

....We finally found a cheap Apartment. The only problem was it is for women only. So now we're Buffy and Hildegarde. Kip and Henry's sisters.......

[bobafettfan32]

@USDJ2722 great show.

[whatever3210]

=D



[heinousjay]

i'm 36 and music has always been 90% shit, and that 90% changes from person to person.

Oh, and teenagers are always dipshits. Even the ones who like Billy Joel. (which really... not great music, kids.)

[OnEbayNow]

@heinousjay I'm 35 and just now rediscovering the genius of Joel and many others in this era.

I am my favorites.

[yellowtaxi11]

Rocky Balboa

[Chrisgsq1]

Essa linda música me faz me lembrar de minha infância. :)

[jaybuddah]

Besides Sinatra, Billy Joel is the greatest WHITE MAN that ever lived!!!!

[eric44267]

today's music is polished to a sheen, and all bright and shiny. it only covers up the fact that it is not as good as this. you can't "produce" talent of this level.

[mochacat12345]

my favorite are Allentown, My Life, and You May Be Right, i have good life Billy Joel and my family loves you!

[hthagata]

1. Allentown

2. She's Always a Woman to Me

3. My Life

[Coolz444]

why can't musicians like billy joel be around today

[alcoop1231]

@Coolz444 Well, actually it’s a cultural thing, the mindset of many people back then was smooth and mellow. So, many of our performers were smooth and mellow and their music had more meaning, well, not all, but the majority of musicians. Today’s culture is quick and rough, well, not all, but the majority. I miss the old days.

[harry426]

@Coolz444 They still are, they're just not part of that shitty mainstream.

[jamesharp41]

from the part between 2:34-2:47 when he is singing microphone his facial expression looks like he is sad about something,he probably had his mind on something that hurt his feelings.

[LughGarrick]

@jamesharp41 James, Billy's songs are almost all related to loneliness.

[kja427]

I would say that Billy Joel in The Late 70's was the musical version of Sylvester Stallone; A man who would get in your ass and tell you to "Fuck Off", if you deserved it. This tune illustrates that perfectly.

[legrandmixer]

since I was a kid. I just love this song. Great times in music at the big apple.

[LughGarrick]

lol. Just liked my own comment before realizing I said it! Because once again... I'm up late watching billy...

[DonaldHope]

Hey Thanks for sharing this TREASURE of a video! Excellent! So like it was when Billy Joel was starting out, now to be World Famous-This looks like the 70's? the video i mean? well the song too eh? Anyone? Thanks!

[pikmisdorado96]

0:35

ROCKY???

[haloek]

31 ppl kiss justin bieber ass

[pabanil]

AAAAAHHHHH...I dont care!

[MrStephAwesome]

This song is the better looking father of "Killing in the name" :P

[fin8glr]

a smooth way of saying " Don't f*cking tread on me!!!!"

[MrWhisper72]

TOTAL MCCARTNEY RIP OFF .SORRY BILLY. STILL LOVE YA:}{

[osito1177]

Bosom Buddies! xD

[96karus]

I believe this song was 1978, not 1985.

[ajianese]

31 people dont have a life.

[NokDwai]

is it me, or is this song like a retaliation to "big shot"?

[bohemia1355]

I can only think of one thing when I hear this song.....Tom Hanks...lol

[DFoxHope]

@bohemia1355 Why Tom Hanks?

[bohemia1355]

@DFoxHope You've never seen Bosom Buddies when Tom Hanks was younger...Pre-Forest Gump.

[mrceleb2006]

When this was released in 1978, AM Top 40 stations across North America played a shorter version of this song instead of this full LP version.

[NuffGrizzly]

Went crazy after I heard the little piano twinkle on a PUTS advert for their new album Highlighter, I just HAD to know who made this. And I'm glad I found out eventually. Top song.

[MochaMolly123]

So saxy!

[LegoRays]

I'm 14, and I wish I was born during the 70's-80's, one of the best eras in USA history. Real music back then. Shit music now.

[ShadowClone442]

@LegoRays same here

[royceyscoot]

@LegoRays Wordd dude. I'm 16 from Aus and pretty much early 90's is the latest I listen to, 60's - 90's best music, REAL music, none of this digitally enhanced / produced shit

[LegoRays]

@royceyscoot Said it like a boss.

[pokemon8148]

@LegoRays I wish the same thing.

[slinginguitarman]

@LegoRays i think i speak for alot of people when i say that it's great that somebody your age appreciates ''our '' music but keep your youth AND ENJOY IT!!, it'll be gone sooner than you can imagine and you cant ever get it back.but again,it really is awsome that you like ''our music.thanks.

[shippo135790ableable]

@LegoRays I agree to an extent MOST music now does suck but not all.

[sabeaniebaby]

@LegoRays Not all artists in the 70's and 80's were as fabulous and original and musical as Billy Joel. He's just a living legend, no way around it.

[audreygivenchy]

@LegoRays so then you might wanna be born in the 1960s to actually grow up in the 70s. but I completely understand you

[brainiac409]

@LegoRays you are a great kid!!!!!

[smurfornge]

@LegoRays I was born in 1978 and I kinda think of this as my song because that's when it was released :)

[Melody1712s4l]

I so agree! :D If they had a time machine, i would straight up go in those eras lol

[bladesman1976]

we r who we r, and nothing gooner change in my life.]

[rollercoaster478]

I am happy for the 2397 people who showed respect for one of the greatest song writers of all time. Thank you a lot!

[DerStadtschutz]

@rollercoaster478 Not just one of the best song writers, but an actual musician... imagine that, they don't exist anymore. One thing I've noticed a lot lately is modern "artists" look pretty and can dance, and that's about it... old musicians, like billy joel and his buddy Elton John, along with people like Eddie Van Halen, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, and Jim Croce... They're ugly. Some more than others, but they're mostly ugly... But they had talent, which is lacking nowadays.

[rollercoaster478]

@DerStadtschutz i agree that these guys got real talant, but you cant say that artists today dont have voice!!!! Not all do, but most of them do have nice voices;)

[DerStadtschutz]

@rollercoaster478 Oh, yes I can... Notice all the autotune/vocoder crap going around lately? Try listening to a modern band/artist(terms being used VERY loosely here) live, and tell me they can sing... I'm not gonna go so far as to say that none of them can, but the ones who can are few and far between. "artists" today are manufactured by record execs by using good looking people who can dance as a base most of the time.

[DerStadtschutz]

@rollercoaster478 Another thing I hate about modern music is a lot of "artists," all their music sounds the same. Like Nickelback can't do a unique song. No matter what, they will always sound exactly the same. Billy Joel and Elton John, on the other hand, can play more than one type of music, with more than one set of instruments. It's not nothing but drums, bass, guitar. Modern "artists" are mostly talentless hacks who look good(and even that's arguable)

[rollercoaster478]

@DerStadtschutz I wont agree with you totally, there are some exceptions. . Billy Joel has been playing since what? 80s? His career is 30 years long!!!! A lot of his songs have the same style and some sound similar, but i dont really want to argue with yuou. Everybody can listen to what they want. I am 16, i listen to Nickelback and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Hurts and other groups. taio cruz and Rod Stewart. At different moments i need diffenerent music;)

[DerStadtschutz]

@rollercoaster478 No, he's been playing since the 70s. I'm not saying every song is 100% unique. that would be ridiculous, but I feel that musical artists used to be much more versatile in the past.

Also, the fact that he's had a long career just proves that he's good at what he does. Nickelback won't be around in 30 years. That's for damn sure. If you like nickelback, that's fine, but I don't like them. My point was not that they're bad, but rather that they're simply not versatile.

[ReekSamma]

@DerStadtschutz Дорогой друг сад мира очень богат пусть в нем все процветает и радует нас людей !

[DerStadtschutz]

@rollercoaster478 According to wikipedia he's been playing since he was a very young boy, so that would be the 50s. But, his first HIT recording was Piano Man, and that was in the 70s.

[rollercoaster478]

@DerStadtschutz AND i dont think they played more various mucic

[Trickroad]

2012 IS COMING

[carlspheno]

Why do i always see s.stallone in all billy's mv ?

[ImJustinStanley]

28 people are robots

[nesbroslash]

Jesus, I get the idea, I know there's more rap then mainstresam stuff, you can stop responding to the goddamned comment, because I like having new messages in my inbox that aren't about the same thing.

[Madridfever]

i didnt knew billy was a midget..!

[Marck2895]

Wow, I didn't knew this song was by Billy Joel...I've got great holiday feelings by this song.

[LettheNationsBeGlad]

Watching this amazing video and listening to Billy Joel while Justin Beiber's face is on the left leaves me so conflicted.

[littlemadness221990]

@LettheNationsBeGlad Fuck Justin Biber!!!

[wheeler1]

why isnt piano man available in USA???!!! :(

[caulinrocker1]

@wheeler1 because the sales for that cd would revitalize the economy and the government obviously doesnt want that

[moonscorch]

Look out for the short piano player with the Jewfro! He is a *badass*.

[TheSaraandSteph]

peter cetera doing background vocals

[WineSippingCowboy]

@TheSaraandSteph PC does a lot of "ch-ch" as well as singing. The song sounds like PC is in four vocal-overdub tracks.

[BADFISHHHHHH]

only 2 million views? wtf I blame justin bieber

[DFDavid21]

BOSOM BUDDIES!!!!!!!!!

[MisterStrawman]

Stop looking at me, you little shit.

(to the left)

[LughGarrick]

Damn Billy, I need to get some sleep. Quit being so awesome for just ten minutes please.

[DerStadtschutz]

@LughGarrick Billy Joel will never stop being awesome, good sir.

[Bethflower123]

Starting at 1:06 that called a running something?

[mrfloxin]

It is the Boosum Buddies theme song!

[CrashN2Me1000]

♫ "Either way it's okay you wake up with yourself!" ♫ Some of the best lyrics ever. Those words still stand out to me to this very day

[FromHyrule]

1:16 - 25 sounds like classic arcade game or something thumbs up..........

[MrCleaniam]

@FromHyrule Like something from Grand Theft Auto !!!!

[choice2099]

LMAO at all 5 foot nothing of Billy Joel walking like a tough guy.

[winsover]

jazz5matazz, of course that right my silly mistake

[itsmerandomkid]

this man can make some epic music videos

[winsover]

The chorus  in based on Beethovens piano sonata No8 - Patetheque - and I believe LV beethoven was given a writers credit on the sleeve of An Innocent man album.

[jazz5matazz]

@winsover You're thinking of "This Night" which is another Billy Joel song.

[SallieSimpson]

Am I the only girl who thinks he's hot? I mean not in a male model type way; more in the attitude, like he has a certain something about him.

[cjlllatt]

i've heard that piano bit before in another song. what is that from?

[cjlllatt]

in short: get out of my face.

[ldnztruizt]

THIS TUNE TAKES ME BACK THE MID 80S MY DAD USED TO PLAY THIS TUNE ALL THE TIME ALONG WITH THE BOSS,ITS TRUE THE CLASSICS NEVER GET OLD!!!

[rollercoaster478]

There should be no dislike button for classic songs!!!!

[1971Diz]

Musical genius...lyrically and composition wise!

[FromHyrule]

even tho i live a awsome life ..this song makes me want to leave home & like become a tramp btw i told my mom after i graduate im ganna be a tramp for like a year then come back and finsh college.... lol is that weird?! O_o ???????? whats your opinion?

[HellGateDenmark]

@FromHyrule Go your own way. And if thats what you want then do it :)

[BarrowAK99723]

tom hank's bosom buddy's theme!

[hatebunny]

Billy doesn't care what 28 people say anymore.

[booman1323]

[tulllguy]

[ak47skydiver]

BOSOM BUDDIES!!!!!!!

[SuperSoldier26]

[mneil1793]

@SuperSoldier26 Except 52nd Street came out in 1978. Now, the video may very well have been 1985 as the header suggests.

[What4ish]

I love this song.

[lazyhaloman117]

[ParkinsandLynch]

@lazyhaloman117 then your insane

[whoiam1231]

[SallieSimpson]

[SINATRA303]

Songs like this shouldn't have the option to be disliked. Or if there is a boxing glove should pop out and nail you in the head when you click it

[sugargliderpal203]

so people look up the song and then dislike it -_-
