Billy Joel - SOMETIMES A FANTASY

[archlorddestin]

Scrubs introduced me to this song

The music made me stay.

[Saljflores94]

Lol its all about the eyebrows!

[Arreat11]

52nd street, The Stranger, Glass Houses = My Favorite Billy Albums...

[Screwface44]

Lol, the woman's face is priceless when Billy starts uttering random ad-libs!

[Screwface44]

The Billy with the cigarette looks like he does nowadays

[nutzername8709]

scrubs :-)

[Penguinator3ooo]

Is it just me, or does Billy Joel sound way different than he did on the album Glass Houses? I can't put my finger on it, but something seems off.

[JoeWalkerAddict]

@Penguinator3ooo He does sound slightly different. Maybe he had a cold when he made this one, but the music sounds slightly different as well. I think the album is just better quality

[museken]

. To xxxPurplexGirllXxx. Look where his hands are on the ALBUM DO YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL?There is a couple of things I know about this song 10 to 12 mins in this song you will here someone scream through a sound proof room ..."IT's Up". By the way he told me I should learn to play the piano. He dreams so do I but he knows who I am.

[museken]

Bull shit. The album Glass Houses was Bills rejection to the music industry for ripping him off. They are so ignorant. Look at the image in the mirror of him throwing the rock on the album cover. His dick is hanging out be it from hand or what ever. It's a Smash. The music industry and the people running it are fruitless. They are users and ignorant. That's why you say why Don't I hear this song on the radio. They close it for their own profit. Promote yourself..That's so important.

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@museken Your comment made almost no sense.

[livingstillbirth]

This song is near the top of my list of classic songs that have been sadly forgotten by mainstream radio. Maybe it's just because I was in my early adolescence when music takes on a whole new meaning, but this song is cool as hell. How could you not relate to fantasizing about a girl at that age? It's just as well I guess. This song can be our personal treasure while the rest of the world misses out.

[gabyzamoraa]

I don´t know if this is weard but I have 15 years old and I love it and enjoy it. Billi Joel is amazing!!

[JoeWalkerAddict]

@gabyzamoraa I'm 16 and I love Billy Joel. And one of my friends is 17 and she loves him as well

[sexypotterhead]

great song!

[devrayy]

Forever alone....

[NaomiSatoism]

My mother remembers her school Pom Pon girls squad doing this song in 81'.... loling.

[madzskie]

Billy Joel forever!!! I was only 5 when I first started to imitate him; his voice and his moves! Oh God thanks for VEVO, now that i could smell that year 1980 for this!

[SuperPoweredKing]

If I were her, I would probably have hung up when he started panting.

[mikeymolly1]

@PaperP1ate I love Glass Houses. So under-rated. Billy even (tried to) learn some French for the record. C'mon - give him some credit!

[gregfate]

v good unreleased promo this, is it from glass houses?

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@gregfate yeah it is from glass houses..

[christy340]

I like that he is both guys in this video.

[octaneforce]

@christy340 really?!

[christy340]

@octaneforce yes. If you look close enough you can tell.

[octaneforce]

@christy340 ive watched this video a few times and never even noticed. cool fact

[christy340]

@octaneforce It took awhile for me to notice.

[nyynyj]

Billy Joel = Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton = Billy Joel

[lakaran]

Sylvester Stalone look alike

[JWOLFPACK]

LET ME DO MY SHOW FOR CHRISTS SAKE!

[Zorn76]

Classic. I miss the music I grew up with as a kid. Thumbs up if you remember when this was brand new:)

[Snampired]

Next time I call up a girl I'll be singing.

[human0un]

man that apartment looks like shit..and yeah its clearly about phone sex

[Jackvermillian]

Love the Porter Wagoner pompador!

[JNSBT96]

Hihi know it from Scrubs :)

[FinkChrist]

2:22 Apparently Bearded Billy has really loud eyebrows.

[chris080270]

Billy hit # 36 on Billboard Hot 100 , 11/8/80, from the "Glass Houses" album.

[seanandtracey1]

thumbs up if you're here because of Billy Joel and were alive when this was released!

[corinnecasanova]

@seanandtracey1 Amen

[corrupt200]

@seanandtracey1 does being a fetus in your mom's womb count? I was born one month after this album was released.

[caulinrocker1]

@seanandtracey1 i wasnt alive at the release but could i still qualify for the other half?

[mikeymolly1]

@seanandtracey1 I was - and listened to it for the first time on 8 track!

[ganudist]

THIS VIDEO DOES NOT PLAY AFTER THE ADVERTISING CLIP

[TheCrazyBreton]

I'm getting mixed messages hear Billy, why exactly is another man in your room in the middle of the night?

[ninjacoralinekitty]

@TheCrazyBreton It's a clone of himself.

[ProudScotsmanRex]

The Evil Joel with the beard. Fear the Billy Beard!

[TheDeepBlueWater]

I guess video budgets weren't the same then as they are today :D

[SpineBuster]

This is remastered. Different keytones on the phone call and some other key differences.

[soccerskilj]

I just bought "Galss Houses" last week. What a freaking record! Missed the Billy Joel boat in his 80's hey day but boy am I glad that I didnt miss it outright! Excellent song! Great lyricist as well! When you can talk about jerking off to a wmoans voice and housewives can dance to it you know you got something going on

[tomaselli1977]

@soccerskilj Glass Houses and The Nylon Curtain are my favorite Billy Joel Albums.

[zonbox9]

like if you are here from scrubs

[bogey5155]

Totally forgot about this song, but it's probably my favourite Billy Joel song.

[airplanebuilderman]

wonder if anybody tried to dial the number

[100nitrog]

WTF is up with the silent guy!? Why is he there watching his buddy trying to have phone sex?

[smirnaff]

@100nitrog it is his alter ego,billy joel with facial hair lol :-)

its just a fantasy,girls,you need to understand :-)

[tdorf84]

Silent Bob?

[luvlife347]

Aaaahhh, phone sex. It's can be a wonderful thing :)

[TBlenx1995]

Thumbs Up if the advert burst your ear drums

[guitarplayer3602]

such a wierd ass video

[AwesomeAostin]

@guitarplayer3602 better than gaga

[DaveWollenberg]

Billy hit #36 in Billboard, 11-8-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Billy. Endin' was cut off, where Billy says, 'I got blisters on my blisters!'

[virchow123]

Scrubs, Episode 11 from Season 6 "A Night to Remember" brought me here.

[crimsonmonieful]

@virchow123 That episode made me cry man. It was so good.

[hendersonkelly28]

Billy Joel's alter ego is hot!!

[greegarrett1]

i hate ads...

[frogladee01]

what is your fantasy???????

[frogladee01]

I bought my self here !! :):)

[YaYaRose122]

My dad brought me here (:

[stillstanding1996]

@YaYaRose122 Ew haha

[danijo3625]

she looks mad... if he were to call me in the middle of the night like that.. i wouldnt be mad at all :)

[blondman69xxx]

Two people went straight to answerphone.

[BrutalRaj]

well that must have been a long phone call or ring because if he could fantasise about all that in like 10 seconds then well thats just plain weird



[calmbeforethestory]

No, I mean why is that man in the room? I mean, having another man in the room with me while you have phone sex is weird.

[RioQueenCyn]

@calmbeforethestory That would be Bad Ass Billy, the alter ego of Billy the Average Joe. Notice how "Average" Billy is always looking over at Bad Ass Billy, who gives him encouragement to keep going.

[63weezer]

@RioQueenCyn --That's right.....the alter ego told her that 'naughty stuff' she wanted to hear. :)

[ninjacoralinekitty]

@63weezer Yes, and he told her with his eyebrows. That takes serious skill.

[ninjacoralinekitty]

@calmbeforethestory Not if "the other man in the room" is also the person trying to make the phone call, which in this case, it is.

[GoEagles35]

That's Frank Stallone!

[calmbeforethestory]

Who is the man in the room with Billy while he makes the call?

[FibroMama]

@calmbeforethestory That is Billy Joel with a Beard, his Alter Ego

[ninjacoralinekitty]

@calmbeforethestory ...That's also Billy Joel...

[thetaz00]

1 (516) 673 - 1112 is the number dialed on the phone. Area code 516 is used for Long Island's Nassau County, located directly east of the New York City borough of Queens and west of Suffolk County. Joel was born in The Bronx and raised in Hicksville, New York. Give the number a call and have some fun. Tell them your trying to reach your friend Billy Joel and he gave you this number. LMAO

[RJSchex]

@thetaz00 Originally, 516 represented all of Long Island, before the split occurred giving Suffolk County to 631.

[gcollin75]

Is it just me or does he look like Rambo?.



[siasti]

@gcollin75 The resemblance would fade dramatically if he took off his shirt...

[KHSACKJD]

J.D!!!!

[stucat06]

Who misses that telephone ring? I sure do. Takes me back to my childhood.

[cheeriosinabowl]

I love this song and sing along with it in my car, with my iPod on. It rocks !

My 2 favourite "telephone" songs are this one "Sometimes a fantasy" and "Don't call us, we'll call you" by Sugarloaf.

[mikebril]

I wish they would've put the correct, final mix of the song on this video. CBS even released a Billy Joel video collection and kept this demo mix on the video.

[acerusso]

his voice sounds different then before in this one. i know ive seen the same video with better vocals but same voice

[Abr022575]

Gawd that was awful. like the song, though

[Darkos217]

Who are the 2 sad people that dislike this Vid

[catothewiser]

God damn I miss the 80's.

[Vipauz]

Silvester Stalon sung this sont :O ??

[jonnyquest037]

...And now I have a new favorite cheesy early 80s music video.

I swear, I was 2 minutes into this thing before I realized that the bearded guy was ALSO Billy Joel. :)

[captainspaulding94]

@jonnyquest037 I didn't realize it until you said it and I've watched this video about 50 times before this.

[WesMantooth73]

What is that thing they are holding to their ear?

[tenaro4kns]

telephone,,,,,,,the only latest tech that time.

[boogiefever1985]

CALL 516 673 1112 FOR A GOOD TIME! That's the number he uses in the video anyways ;-)

[captainspaulding94]

damn it my computer is ringing again

[spacecase3196]

For those of you who didnt know, this song is about phone sex.

[RioQueenCyn]

I love how "regular" Billy has to sing for two and a half minutes to get her used to the idea. But then Badass Billy takes over and he doesn't even have to say a word.

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

"F" and "P" words used on a Billy Joel page. Major disrespect, guys :( Joel has been playing good music since the 70's and he deserves SO much more...

[claypigeon77]

piss on Ralph Lauren

[fizzazzle]

screw vivo. Hate it.

[captainspaulding94]

I wish he wasn't ugly he sings so good. He does look better with shorter hair in his later songs though.

[PotentialGrows]

MUSIC: Sounds, usually produced by instruments or voices, that are arranged or played in order to create an effect. STOP COMPARING SINGERS, GENRES,ERAS just enjoy this one!

[GothChristianPatriot]

This is so creepy but in a Billy Joel kinda way which is good.

[ikevykev]

Wow!!! What happened to Billy's hair over time ? I was watching SCRUBS and this song was on that episode...glad I was watching at the time...it turned me on to this good song !!!!

[jsparkz96]

where can i find the chords of this ?? please help

[136kayz]

wait. lol. this song is about phone sex and theres a guy in billy's room. LMFAO

[amazed66]

@136kayz I'm not sure if you were joking but the guy in Billy's room is also Billy. The bearded one is supposed to be like his alter ego and egging him on to call her.

[136kayz]

@amazed66 lol i was joking but haha thanks

[136kayz]

UGH THE WOMANS VOICE IN THE AD MAKES MY EARS BLEEEEEEEEEEDD

[hendersonkelly28]

Billy Joel is hot in this video!!

[alfredo95]

the audio doesnt fit

[MrKenny1878]

This is a song about wanking?

[jebusIG]

@MrKenny1878 Yeah, pretty much.

[TBlenx1995]

@MrKenny1878 I highly doubt it.

[bandontherun74]

@MrKenny1878 Its about phone sex dude, obviously, he calls her and tells her "Sorry but I need you...".

[skorcha]

@bandontherun74 still wanking bruh lol brass tax

[scottg2230]

@MrKenny1878 I think it's a song about Phone Sex. 

[Argcz]

@MrKenny1878 Was about time someone made a song about it, don't you agree? :D

[MrKenny1878]

@Argcz .About time?This song is 30 years old mate.

[cherrieburt]

love the jump on the bed,cute,i would jump with him.

[cherrieburt]

love the bbbb,and the good,and bad billy,love his face,and his looks,he is just great.

[RaulFelixINC]

Why the hell ain't this loading?

[cherrieburt]

i bet he would be a great actor,he is great in his videos,and dvds,i also have seen he has a wicked sense of humor,he is a very passionate man,i dont mean to sound like i am assuming but thats why he is an artist?.

[seansw1]

I am 41 years old and had forgotten all about this song, until i came across it on here it is a definate favorite

[thecaptain134]

Is Kevin Smith coaching him?

[drmr007]

I remember, as a kid, being jealous of my friends that had the super long telephone cord like that... even though my parents wouldn't allow me to use the phone hardly at all. The good ol' days! And what ever happened to the phone mounted right by the toilet? That was a bit gross.

[bucky468]

What a coincidence...Billy's video's playing when his picture's at the side for a VEVO promo. How fitting? It's about flippin time VEVO...schmucks!

[cherrieburt]

ok i grew up musicaly blessed in the 80s,the start of mtv,when it was the great music channel,and music was just fun,and the great groups were still togeather,like journey,ect,music was on the radio and people sang,i love the bbbbb in this video,billy is so awesom long live billy joel.

[BabaLouRN]

Sending this to my man who has been on a business assignment about 900 miles away!!

[n8tureboy]

It's funny how Billy's in the flop-house and she's in the Penthouse suite. Interesting juxtaposition of images?

Whoa..oh..oh!

[marge27forever]

i was 9 yrs old when i saw this being aired on a television,i still didnt know its called a video,i dont know but this excites me alot back then and until now,my friends wud tell me"oh yuck u like to watch that?"i wud laugh and say,hell yeah,its cool,and the

man is like crazy about sumthing from the girl,i just cant tell what it is"....lmao

[STERNaHASBEEN]

When I think of talent and a superstar it's Billy Joel. When I think of overrated and media hype it's Bruce Springsteen!

[johnnydontcry57]

@STERNaHASBEEN Well, you're entitled to your musical opinions, but I think you're way off base here. Joel and Springsteen are both among my very favorite musicians and have been for years. You're under no obligation to like the Boss and I know musical taste is subjective, but if you've listened to much of his music, especially some of the deeper cuts they don't play on the radio, you can't deny his talent as a lyricist. Plus he puts on a hell of a live show.

[tedcantu1]

@johnnydontcry57 "No obligation to like the Boss" LOL... rightly put

[oxamanda93xo]

scrubs flashback scenes!!!!!!!!



[24ktlady]

one ringy dingy...... two ringy dingy!

[Horns9]

Crime lord Billy Joel is awesome.

[Bluelady4848]

Billy Joel, for listening to that evil peerv side of yourself, you are doomed to be stuck in a time loop and repeat this video over and over for all eternity! MWAHAHAHAHA!!

[ChaseAyr]

@Bluelady4848 omg, it..it.. it wont stop D:

*replay* x3

[juldes100]

@ChaseAyr I have to agree with you that is what i am doing.....lol

[juldes100]

@ChaseAyr i have to agree with you ....

[RobRobertTheMusicMan]

That woman Is a whole mountain of HOT!!!!

[BrettTheDrumPanda]

Hard to listen to the song when you know it's about Phone Sex

[smirnaff]

Why do i feel that billy has a foot fetish after watching this video?

[StevieAndCoryYUMMY]

Instead of him getting in control of his emotions he needs to get in control and ask her can her live with her.

[bczimmerman]

F Vevo is right!  I watched this video with that creepy Pink staring me in the face the whole time. Damn, she's looking scarier every day. Mooooooooooooo!

[bucky468]

Funny to see that Billy grew a beard for this video to be Billy's alter ego (the dude w/the cig in the black leather jacket & slicked back hair.) But who's that who's really handing Billy the phone? The video director? Who?

Hard to watch this classic video w/that ugly dyke St!nk...er...P!nk on the left side of it as she stares right at me.

Who's the chick he's phone stalking? Is it Peggy Fleming?

[hollyisleofthree]

this song is perfect for John Martin, on Face Book. Girls he's just a fantasy!Take it from Mrs Martin !!!

[bucky468]

Billy Joel IS AOR. "Sometimes A Fantasy" is a bona fide AOR rocker.

[ReadingWeirdo]

I love the faces Billy Joel makes. XD

[watcharervideos]

i seen billy joel and elton john in concert, it was awesome!

[TheVokality]

scrubs brought me here!

[efsafa]

@TheVokality yea :D

[spike284]

Billy Joel butt raped me, and didnt even have the good graces to say good bye when he left!!!!!!! nah, but, here's the thing, maybe he was busy, maybe he was drunk, maybe it wasnt even Billy joel?regardless, if a stranger walked up to me and wanted to ask me a bunch of personal questions, I'd probably ignore them too. By the way, this song is an overlooked gem!!!!!!!!

[GeneralLee721]

probably about jacking off

[readynow12345]

He's a fucking asshole billy joel, I was living in South Hampton LI, I ran in to him on main street, I tried to say something to him and he ignored me, as I was walking away I said fuck you mother fucker, he naturally ignored me, I'm not really a fan of his anyway

[evilspitfire69]

@readynow12345 if u dont care for him then why are u here just to tell everyone ur lame story. if u were a celeb u would ignore alot of people too so dont be a hypocrite
