Ricky Gervais once did a skit about this song where he read through the entire lyrics, then said "Thats not a song. Thats Rainman".

can`t stand the majority of today`s music. or.... at least the majority of today`s "popular" music. rap blows, hip hop blows..... pop...... meh.... some good, some terrible. what`s the freakin point to listening to rap? if i wanted to listen to someone talking, i`d listen to talk radio, without the shitty background music or cursing every other word.

5/5 for Billy Joel. I saw him about 7 years ago with Elton John, hands down the best concert I have ever been to.

I`m guessing this is where the Internet People video got its song structure.

Love it, but all that plays in my head over the chorus is "Ryan started the fire!". Too much The Office.

The older and less cheery stuff from Joel I find to be far better.

Not to mention `uptown girl` has been raped into infinity by that slightly homosexual 11-year-old-girl magnet boyband.
