This was me and my girlfriend's song. I was a punk rocker from Peckham and she was from a rich family from Bromley. We met while I was a starving student. She kinda liked me. We're still married today after nearly 30 years together.
I had a brother that was 6 years older than me. This time was when you radio was massive and took a massive space to have it. This was the 80's. My brother got Billy Joels record that was released. The song Up Town Girl was on it. My brother and I took the bus to our two different schools and my brother pleaded after opening his presents if we could stay home and listen. My mother said if we finished getting ready we could listen to one or two songs and then drive us to school. Back than just being able to do this was a present as well. We where the lower side of middle class and i believe after the record i believe he only got one more present that he opened after dinner. I remember being the sister of a protective, loved, and made to feel like a princess by my brother. Him wanting me to be the first to listen to the record made me feel like his best friend. We danced and sang our hearts out. What sweet memories 😍❤️. Love you Tommy.
The entire song the driver looks SO done with her bs. Like, "Jessica I swear this is the 5th time we've stopped at this stupid auto mechanic. Get a hobby," is what's going through his head as some workers dance in front of him.
I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classic compositions ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.

I heard it when my boyfriend brought the brand new LP to my house for a party. He was so enthralled by it that he'd already memorized every word of the lyrics, and he put it on the stereo and we all, every one of us, danced to every song. And he sang every word to me. It was like a giant music video of our own, and this was before any of us had ever seen any videos from the album. He had dark hair and a beard, and I was, still am, very blonde, so we dressed as Billy and Christie for Halloween that year (we even won a couple of costume prizes) And I married him, two years later. That whole LP was our music. It so fit two broken hearted people who healed in each other's presence.
This song has been stuck in my head for the last week. Getting old sucks, but it comes with some great oldies that magically pop in from nowhere for no reason.

My 16 year old grandson plays this song all the time. He is such an old soul. I like listening to it, also. It brings back so many memories Thank you,Billy Joel!
Something I love about this music video is how each of the four mechanics have a unique character to them. You could imagine a sitcom centered around these dudes. From left to right at 00:55... 1) The overconfident, aggressive flirt. Thinks of himself as a ladies man. Always scheming up something to get with the ladies. Bit of a jokester 2) The leader of the bunch. Rightfully confident, probably has the most experience. He has your back, and winds up fixing any troubles the group gets into. Reliable, an all-rounder 3) The new guy. Enthusiastic, but a bit naive. Likes to have fun, and often the first to get roped into any shenanigans. Wears his hat because he thinks he's supposed to. 4) The brains. Calm, the voice of reason. Socially stiff and a little awkward, but is a good guy. Wears his hat because it's professional
I was just told by a friend of mine that this was shot at the long, gone Sunoco gas station at the intersection of Bond St and Bowery in NYC. This was shot in 1983. My friend lives across from there and I remember going here many times in the late 90s. Now it's an upscale apartment building. Little by little, the NYC that I remember fades away. Not that I am complaining. If NYC ever stops changing, it is dead.
I remember going over one of my mother's friends houses to watch MTV with her son while she choir practice. It would just be me and him watching videos. He was older than I was, though. Prior to Michael Jackson's video "Thriller" coming on, you had to sit through Billy Joel's video "Uptown Girl", Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long", and then FINALLY Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video came on. Simple times and I miss the fuck out of those years.
Everyone who is commenting is acting braindead. The commenter in question said "I still love the music of that era." Let it go. You can miss something that was made before you unless you never experienced it. E.g., you can't miss food you never ate. In this case, the commenter expressly stated that what he/she misses is the music. So let's insert "I do miss the 80s [style music."
I discovered Billy Joel very recently and now loving all his songs - Pianoman, Vienna, Uptown Girl. What i am liking the most is his art of telling very simple stories through his songs.
"For The Longest Time" is my favorite. Heard it pop up on the radio while in 7th grade English class back in '95. Stuck in my mind ever since even though I'm not a huge Billy Joel fan.
@@NobodyUndefined They're divorced now but in both of their day they were at the top of their game. Christy Brinkley was a huge super model. Her dancing is so basic in this vid but she got way better, to the point of playing Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway a couple years ago.
Billy Joel writes his own music, and he is a genius. This was written when he was dating supermodel Elle Macpherson and then ended up marrying supermodel Christie Brinkley (in the video). Quite a step up for the Piano Man! :D
dimXlights well this whole album “An Innocent Man” was an homage to the music of Billy’s youth and his inspirations. This song was inspired in the styles of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
My grandma loved this song, she passed away back in 2012 from a long battle of cancer and suffered a stroke. This songs bring back so many memories. I miss her very much and wish we had more time to talk and taste her cooking one last time. R.I.P forever will miss you, we will meet again one day.

LMAO 😂😂😂😂

Before city girls, we had uptown girls.
Preach
Alright old timer.
Pls don’t get mad dance with me I'm a town girl
Whats weird is that usually Jewish guys are really good mechanics.
@@joannagreenough9750 ehh no one's gonna get mad , miss.
Huegie really loves this song
This song has been stuck in my head for the last week.
Getting old sucks, but it comes with some great oldies that magically pop in from nowhere for no reason.
try to listen westlife version uptown girl
Think "getting old" sux?
You haven't done it yet!
...unless you turned 95!
At least you lived as long as you have.
Some never made it
@@jeremy5302 that version is nothing compared to the original
This song has been stuck in my head for the last couple of decades lol. It just doesn't get old.
That's the benefit of having a dad that listens to nothing but oldies. I'm 18 but half of my music tastes are from the 80's haha
The garage is on fire and they all take off. Looks like an insurance job to me.
leokimvideo I use to watch your vids!
Insurance job in mainland China. Imagine that. Rambo time for a dollar.
Insurance company: “do you know what caused the fire”
Billy joel: “we didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning”
leokimvideo LOL!!!
@@cactichris9829 Very nice! :)
This song never fails to put a smile on my face
Probably the start of the motorcycle or the socket wrenches being on timing with the song
Same i love it
Amen😎
Same
Definitely one of the feel-good songs like walking on sunshine and wake me up before you go-go
Billy, You Out Did Yourself With This One And Big Shot‼️😊😊
Lyrics
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows
What she wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all the presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love

Such a cool song for the 50's and 60's. Even though it came out in 1983. :)

She is probably like, “every time I come to get gas these guys do this.”
Yet she always gets out and walks around and later dances.
Hahaha 😂
In real life Joel secured her...
Once the boys start dancing 🕺🏻 she’s like oh no here we go again 💃🏾 👻
josh bentley83 the dance with me
This would actually make a good movie. I'd definitely watch it.

My 16 year old grandson plays this song all the time. He is such an old soul. I like listening to it, also. It brings back so many memories
Thank you,Billy Joel!

When the school choir gets their career applications mixed up.

this is a good one
Nah, it's probably the theater kids who ended up as mechanics

this song is so catchy !
And it appeals to those told they cannot achieve anything or that they are just trash so no quality girl will ever want them.

Sam Wellhoff He looks GOOOOD ! :D

Something I love about this music video is how each of the four mechanics have a unique character to them. You could imagine a sitcom centered around these dudes.
From left to right at 00:55...
1) The overconfident, aggressive flirt. Thinks of himself as a ladies man. Always scheming up something to get with the ladies. Bit of a jokester
2) The leader of the bunch. Rightfully confident, probably has the most experience. He has your back, and winds up fixing any troubles the group gets into. Reliable, an all-rounder
3) The new guy. Enthusiastic, but a bit naive. Likes to have fun, and often the first to get roped into any shenanigans. Wears his hat because he thinks he's supposed to.
4) The brains. Calm, the voice of reason. Socially stiff and a little awkward, but is a good guy. Wears his hat because it's professional

I was just told by a friend of mine that this was shot at the long, gone Sunoco gas station at the intersection of Bond St and Bowery in NYC. This was shot in 1983. My friend lives across from there and I remember going here many times in the late 90s. Now it's an upscale apartment building. Little by little, the NYC that I remember fades away. Not that I am complaining. If NYC ever stops changing, it is dead.
Happening here in fort worth texas too.
Makes sense, Billy Joel is an NY native.
I remember going to the town where I attended college back in 1995... barely recognized the place, because so much had changed.

I remember going over one of my mother's friends houses to watch MTV with her son while she choir practice. It would just be me and him watching videos. He was older than I was, though. Prior to Michael Jackson's video "Thriller" coming on, you had to sit through Billy Joel's video "Uptown Girl", Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long", and then FINALLY Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video came on. Simple times and I miss the fuck out of those years.
MTV has gone down hill now :(
Nesta Parks I do miss the 80s, even tho it was born in 2004 I still love the music of that era
KarateKitty 5000 how can you miss the 80s when you're 12 or 13 years old lol
KarateKitty 5000 how can u miss something you weren't apart of
Everyone who is commenting is acting braindead. The commenter in question said "I still love the music of that era." Let it go. You can miss something that was made before you unless you never experienced it. E.g., you can't miss food you never ate. In this case, the commenter expressly stated that what he/she misses is the music. So let's insert "I do miss the 80s [style music."
I was born in 98 and grew up in the 2000's, and even I can admit this song is a banger. Better than most songs today even.
That's not hard. Today almost everything sucks.
Checkout musics from 50s to 90s.

I discovered Billy Joel very recently and now loving all his songs - Pianoman, Vienna, Uptown Girl. What i am liking the most is his art of telling very simple stories through his songs.
You must to heard honesty
you should hear "river of dreams"
@@serene786 thanks buddy, this song is beautiful too. Feels like a young man is searching for the purpose of his life.

"For The Longest Time" is my favorite.
Heard it pop up on the radio while in 7th grade English class back in '95. Stuck in my mind ever since even though I'm not a huge Billy Joel fan.

Bill casting his supermodel soon-to-be wife in the video and putting her picture up all over the set is low-key a megaflex.
Wow that's so cool that he put his wife in it, she really was gorgeous and perfect for the role
@@NobodyUndefined They're divorced now but in both of their day they were at the top of their game. Christy Brinkley was a huge super model. Her dancing is so basic in this vid but she got way better, to the point of playing Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway a couple years ago.
@@NobodyUndefined She sure was easy on the eyes.
@@minilea144 wow. theyre the then power couple then?
@@minilea144 Christie Brinkley is still very beautiful even at 65+
Whoever wrote this song is a genius like Mozart and Beethoven
written by W.M.Joel
Billy Joel writes his own music, and he is a genius. This was written when he was dating supermodel Elle Macpherson and then ended up marrying supermodel Christie Brinkley (in the video). Quite a step up for the Piano Man! :D
badass :D
It was me !

That was a lame one 😪
The thing that sucks about this song is it is so short.

Hard to imagine this is the same guy who sings piano man.
