one of the funniest movies ever. and a good song. very 80s.
-
He always was the best at getting meaningful lyrics to fit perfectly into any song
-
For some odd reason this song reminds me of actress Sofia Vergara, I think it has something to do with her being in the Modern Family
-
This is a great song and IMO one of his best songs he's ever done in his career, you seldom hear this song on the radio
-
Billy hit #10 in Billboard, 7-26-86. God bless ya, jtee, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Billy.

hahah I was listening to a Youtube playlist of Billy, and I thought this was Huey Lewis untill i looked at the title hahaha

I love this song and of course I love the movie too.This film was way underrated.Looking at comedy films these days make me feel really bored because they are stupid.Not all but most of them are.Ruthless People is so hilarious!A true 80's comedy.

I've heard that Billy Joel doesn't care too much for this song. While I admit that its no Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, I think it's awesome! Love the movie too.
