  • 'pretty nice piano' doesn't describe it well enough

  • Oooooo!!!!!!

  • music is music, you enjoy what you liike, i like music from rap to country, from heavy rcok to claddic it all depends on the song, whats the point in osting comments about a song saying its bad or you dont like it when you can just go and lissen to other songs you like instead.... im 15 and i like this song so what i may still have alot to learn but ik that music is what you make of it so dont say its bad couse its not what you like

  • @ZMASTER268 If only the rest of Youtube had the same philosophy

  • This is an old classic? Guess I'm old.

  • @Nabokov50 lmao thats what my dad said also

  • Simply awesome

  • Simply brill

  • This song is magical

  • La la la de de da...

  • When Paul Venier played this on "Everybody on the Bus" It was better than this... Well, I thought his voice was better than Billy Joel's..

  • It's funny to see how standards change depending on the music you've listened to. This sound like lift music with some details copied by the worst Bob Dylan (who in 1965 used to record free form arrangements). And 15 years later. Old doesn't mean "artistic". All over every era we can find commercial stuff and original art, to various degree. As a composer of commercial lift music, I prefer Elton John, by the way.

  • why do so many people have to hate on electronic music. lmfao are terrible (in my opinion) but the genre that they represent isn't wholly bad. what are you people asking for? for everyone to love and respect the songs of the past, get over it, you like it so enjoy it. i love dubstep and trance music but can still admit that this song is grand and i wouldn't mind heading to the local pub, cracking a beer and singing along :)

  • @shbp21 hahah true dat more power to ya

  • Why do people stereotype only teenagers when it comes to listening to bad music? A lot of the people who provide us with the crap music of today are adults..

  • Hey...My fave Billy Joel tune!!!

  • OH THE CLASSICS!!!

  • Fun song to jam out with a few friends to.

  • this reminds me of my childhood, which is funny because it was only ten ten years ago, but it reminds me of happier days

  • "pretty nice piano"..... come out of the fog... thats awesome piano.

  • My parents took me to see a play using Billy Joel's music when I was in 5th grade. I pouted all along, and was a pretty big buzzkill. I want to kill the little brat that I was, and take his place at that musical and enjoy real music with my parents

  • this song isn't even that old, what are you guys smoking?

  • @do0rkn0b Just crying kids. Ignore them.

  • My dad would play songs like this and Elton John and The Eagles on the car radio when i was nine and I always thought it was the worst music ever! Now I can't get enough of it!

  • Perfect song for me tonight. I love it

  • I had this come on in my truck and 2 cute girls pulled up at a red light and they were blaring it and singing it and I looked and couldn't help but laugh. They turned blood red so I turned mine up and started singing. Their names are Rachel and Lauren...God I love old music.

  • A criminal mind episode brought me here

  • "Absolutely beautiful song!"

    -People with taste (:

  • (pretty nice piano) hahaha that made me smile

  • Im a young boy and i love this music and i respect this man a lot.

  • this is noe of the best songs ever written!!!

  • My mom listened to this soo much when I was younger but I had completely forgot about it till I heard it about a half an hour ago on pandora.....so glad I didn't skip it!!!

  • This song is amazing

  • this songs gets me going from ear to ear. absolutely incredible music. One of the best songs ever for real.

  • i wish people my age knew how genious and amaing this is!

  • Perhaps, it is just me, but this melody, is very similar to the melody of the Goo Goo Dolls Song Iris, I noticed it, when I first heard the song, it actually brought me here, because I wanted to see if the similarity was in my head, and it isn't. It does have a similar tune. But anyways, a good song,, both of them. I will never get tired of this song.

  • @chatcess i see that too

  • even though im 14, i still have to say, you cant beat a bit of billy joel.

  • @P8ntkid13 holy crap me 2 same story with me lol

  • guys can we not all just agree that some old music is good and some new music is good? come on its not that hard

  • @darkshadow2017 wurd

    

  • I love this song my dad an I use to listen to it all the time. It's actually what got me started playing piano.

  • I lost my harmonica virginity to this song...

  • Teardrop.....

  • thumbs up if you sing along to this even if you dont know the lyrics

  • wish i were in a bar right know

  • @frogskinshoelace I'm part of the young generation and I've loved and respected old classics since I understood music. 

  • @HUGHJASSSSSSSS There are very few of us Huey.. Cheers

  • @shbp21 Cheers to you both,

  • people make me laugh.

    i love this song i remember first listening to this song with my mum when she was feeling down and we sang it all the way home i have never seen her happier

  • Best drinking song ever. I was screaming this song out loud on a bar with a couple of freinds a few days ago :D

  • me and my friends sang awfully to this on the way to ice-skating xD All linking arms in the back of the car while mum was like mezmerized cause she hasnt heard it in a long time

    "LAAA LAAA DEE DEE DAAA~ xD"

  • Castle 3x10 Last call, it was amazing to see them singing that =)

  • i do love music

  • I'm a zygote and I love this song

  • guardsman bob :D

  • I've read the comments and found that peope sterotype teenagers into people who don't like the old music. I'm a teenager myself, and this is one of my favorite songs. I love Billy Joel, and the GOOD music. All that crap they listen to now is just that...crap. They say the best doesn't fade. They also say Lady Gaga's songs are brilliant.

  • @Valiuka1 Not all of the newer music is crap. I remember people saying in 1963 that the Beatles' music was crap. Over the years, I remember the same thing being said about Bob Dylan, the Eagles, Led Zepplin, Chicago, etc. 40 years from now, some of the songs that are considered "crap" today will be classics, and people will be talking about the current music being "crap". It's all a matter of perspective. 

  • people who dislike this have pianos up their asses

  • @huejasshole BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!­!!!!

  • Is this the theme song to cheers?

  • Can you believe i'm only 11 years old and this is my favorite song

  • @CarlangasNapoleon I'm 15 and it's the same situation.

  • And then everyone fought on the comments instead of listening to the song.

  • old music =/= good music. it just appears that way because only the good stuff lives on, and the garbage fades away. After so many generations only the best are still around so it seems like older music was invincible, which is not the case.

    BUT, for the most part, this younger generation cant even recognize which musicians are good and which arent. For example, the Foo Fighters are a good, talented band. LMFAO is not.

  • @frogskinshoelace The foo fighters are also an overplayed to the point i instantly change the song, band.

  • @frogskinshoelace you are also an idiot

  • @frogskinshoelace hahahaha, the funny thing is that the foo fighters Is one of the good bands of this generation :)

  • @frogskinshoelace Keane is part of the younger generation...does anybody dare tell me that Keane is bad?

  • @frogskinshoelace I've started listening to a soloist name Kristian Mattson otherwise known as the Tallest man on Earth. :) Great musician.

  • @frogskinshoelace Ehhhh. i disagee. Foo Fighters are eh. and LMFAO is a god awful band. they make me want to puncture my ear drum with a needle.

  • @frogskinshoelace LMFAO are jokers, not singers lol

  • @frogskinshoelace really, cause i like this bettr then them. and im just fourteen.

  • @frogskinshoelace

    Growing up I've been raised to like old music because it was all original and good.

    If someone offered me an old record player and a few Beatles records for a cheap price because they didn't want them, I'd gladly accept, while most people my age would just ask "Why would I want that?"

  • @frogskinshoelace I have to disagree, Foo Fighters are great and I won't forget them that easily. Maybe I'm one out of few, but to say that they got no talent is just pure BS.

  • @frogskinshoelace Foo Fighters and LMFAO are two completely different styles of music, don't even compare them.

  • @Clone5462 There is meaningful music all over, you are apparently too ignorant to notice.

    Do 13 year old most here post to show how mature they are listening to music?

  • I am so upset. I am thirteen and am disappointed in music these days. I hate when people say my generation ruined music but it is so true. Why can't they make music like this or like classic rock anymore.

  • everyone should see that this song, even though it's from a different time should be recognized as one of the greatest songs ever made. The fact is that music is music no matter when or were it was made or heard, and that you shouldn't judge a song by when it was wrote or how old you are.

  • I will listen to this song when I am about to die, and act like I am playing the piano.

  • Billy Joel - What a legend, love him. Who the hell don't like billy Joel? -3

  • I discovered this song just the other day on a MMORPG game called "Whirled". It was beautiful. I wanted to hear it again, so I set the song as one of my game room's BGM.

    I immediately searched it on YouTube, and put the sucker on loop. This is a wonderful song, and I think I'm better off as a man for hearing it.

    Teenagers can enjoy this music, too. I'm eighteen and enjoy songs from "Party Rock Anthem" to southern gospel. It's called "culture". I see it here.

  • (Pretty Nice Piano) lmao

  • This video got around 1 million views last 2-3 mounts, while its posted in 2007..

    IT DESERVES MORE

  • how are there 200 plus dislikes? 

  • @samstone1977 Some people just like to disagree with everything.

  • Love it!  Thanks for sharing a great classic song that still holds its own today!

  • Born in 1997 and LOVE Billy Joel's music! ;)

  • i will lose it if one more person sed are generation ruined music

  • @bruinsbobbyorrhockey .....Can we say that your generation has ruined the English language?

    Because... that should be, "I will lose it if one more person says* our* generation ruined music."

  • great song, zanzibar has to be my favorite though... billy joel is a great artist

  • This is a good song even do I'm a heavy metal fan I love this song and different type of music too

  • All those who say music is dead shut the hell up...every generation has meaningful music and meaningless music...unless you think Fat Bottomed Girls has a deeper meaning.

  • @abooisaboo my generation has no meaningful music

    if you can find on song I will listen to it im 13

  • @abooisaboo Well they do make the rocking world go round!

  • I feel as though somewhere along the way songs stopped having as much meaning in them, not to say current music is dumb but i feel as though music used to be more closely tied to a deeper meaning.

  • This is one of the best songs I ever heard.

  • Hmm wow, young kids stating that music today sucks, GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES its not that special.

  • @TrollMafia1 the idea is people stil find out about joel, they go to see him and still get entertained by his music like their fathers used to do 30 years ago, who still remembers the backstreet boys, or will remember the gaga or will go to bieber 30 years from now

  • I play this song on my harmonica all the fuckin time lol

  • I really don't wanna know how old you are, good music is always good music.

  • How can people "dislike" this song it's real music not some of the bullshit stuff people listen to today, And this is coming from a 15 year old

  • @gimo001 Faggot shut up.

  • @gimo001 im 13, and this is the first time ive ever said my age to a music video, because in my opinion this music is awesome and i hope you think so too............But.Nobody.Care­s.What.Age.You.Are.

  • @gimo001 dude... this is a COMMENTS section not an INSULTS sections >_>

  • @TheCowgar yes I know it is a COMMENT section, And comment sections are meant for you to state YOUR OPINION, and that's what I did.

  • What the hell happened to music? I miss songs like this. :(

  • give me one solid reason why are there dislikes? I would love to read an explanation.

  • @balanuj Some people don't have a soul

  • Been listening to this song since i was 9 :) i love this song, im 12

  • Original version I suppose?

  • Comment removed

  • Now THIS is MUSIC! Not that stupid shit, all you need to make a good song now a days is to be famous (not always), a catchy tune, and a combination of words -.- which is now considered a song. Thank goodness these songs are still alive.

  • Hardly ever do this, but...

    211 people would rather listen to some Auto-Tuned crap with godawful lyrics instead of real music.

  • @evilphil I like both.

  • @evilphil I agree, fuck this gay shit listen to Avenged Sevenfold you homos

  • @slimininin f you this is good music

  • @slimininin Hey guess what, I listen to Avenged Sevenfold ...But, I'm not some arrogant fuck who can't accept that other people listen to other kinds of music. So, yeah, I listen to Avenged Sevenfold but, I listen to this too. As well as, Pink Floyd, Godsmack, Queen, and Volbeat. So, please, if you would be so kind, shut the fuck up. :)

  • @evilphil That's not real music?

  • @DestroyerOfSense000 no its not

    

  • @clone5262 It was a joke, don't worry.

  • @evilphil you are an idiot

  • @darkshadow2017 I'm an idiot because I like this song better than most modern pop?

  • @evilphil who are you to say what real music is? just enjoy what you enjoy and don't hate on other music types just because you don't enjoy that type of music if you don't like pop don't listen to it basically i am saying you are an idiot because by the way you have worded your comment it sounds like you are insulting pop because you don't like it. just because you don't like something doesn't make it bad no need to be an idiot. just enjoy what you enjoy and allow people to enjoy what they like

  • @darkshadow2017 pop music is short for popular music, which encompasses a lot of different types of artists, and even popular music artists are sometimes good/really good and do not use auto-tune and can sing live. just a smidge of fact in case it'll make this debate less valid

  • It always amazes me how some stupid videos get like 10 mil views.. but actually good ones arn't ever as high. I mean. Not that 5 mil isn't high but *shrugs* sems like quality would be more viral..

  • Can't decide if this song is sad or happy...good nonetheless

  • 210 deaf idiotic people on youtube

  • Oh this is just perfect. I love this song. Oh man.... :) beautiful

  • *listening to it on the radio, when my nana turns it over*

    o.O Why did you do that?

    Do what?

    Turn over the station....

    *turns back, smiles*

    *Me nodding and saying* That's better.....

    *nana laughing at the fact I love this song*

  • I'm 7 months old and I wuv' this song... goo goo ga ga!!!!!

  • Thanks for uploading this.

  • This is the stuff!

  • This is Divine.

    More music like this should be made

  • 1. Write: "I'm (insert young age here) and I listen to everything from (insert respectable modern act that is somewhat surprising) to (insert respectable older band or artist)."

    2. Eagerly await Thumbs Up.

  • 208 peoples are stupid.

  • @tende1000video quote you: "208 peoples are stupid."

    If you were smart you'd know it is "208 people are stupid."

    Heh, but the song is awesome indeed.

  • @mojegaful sorry man, I'm italian.

  • @tende1000video I am from Serbia... Heheh... Don't be offended by me correcting you, I am just one of those annoying people who love correcting others. I hope you understand.

  • @mojegaful I understand

  • @tende1000video 209 dumbass

  • What's an instrument?

  • Dear God... oke listen up kids :) your not special if you like this song at the age of 13/14. You are special if you can write a song like this when your 14/15

    Become famous by being the person who discovers the cure for cancer. then we are like: "wow that kid is really smart!" until then...SHUT THE F*CK UP ABOUT YOUR AGE!!!!!!

  • BTW this song is awesome

  • @jelledk9 I wrote a song about curing cancer. The chorus alone was givin a Nobel Prize. I'm older than fifteen though. :-/

  • @jelledk9 nobody wants to be famous by saying how old you are. thats not the point bro, its just saying that even teenagers love old music.

  • @wallacevamp little attention whores cravin' for likes

  • @jelledk9 no not really I was correcting you bro. Its funny though that your not even responding to my arguement.

  • @wallacevamp iam 13 and love music like this

  • I may be 13 but, I absoloutely dread the horrible screech of pop, wrap, and techno, that stuff hurts my ears and you can't even find the melody. It's about time i found some REAL music to listen to.

  • @11799O I hate wrap too, it's a little too constricting for my liking.

  • heard this on the way home today...its rather good, the new stuff these days, not too much for me...

  • still doesnt beat jim croce....

  • Hey I'm the 15,000th person to like this!

  • Oh, I would be happy if my radio plays music like this the whole day instead of Bieber, Gaga, Mohombi, Eminem etc.

  • Man, I was born in the wrong era...

  • me and my friend used to sing this song for karaoke. he passed away the other day but this song will always remind me of him. RIP ALEX

  • @buffaloonrampage sorry man.

  • @buffaloonrampage I'm sorry for your loss... this was also a song of my dad and me, he passed away 2 months ago it are songs like these that keep them with us

  • @EllenBorms92 I seriously went "Awwwwwwwwwwwww" as soon I read this, I'm so sorry

  • im 13 and im wondering.. WHY DO MY PARENTS GET THE (REAL) GOOD MUSIC!?!?!? the music everyone i know listens to is terrible and i wish todays singers would go back in time and quit singing about sex and drinking its getting irritating...

  • @worldXxXofXxXmusic01 you don't like sex or drinking?
