THE WAY BILLY IMITATED. FRANKIE VALLI & THE 4 SEASONS MUSIC GROUP I’D GIVE THAT A TEN! Uptown Girl is definitely one of my favorite songs by Billy. WELL DONE, Sir! Kenneth Huang. 2/2/24.
LYRICS: Uptown girl She's been living in her uptown world I bet she's never had a backstreet guy I bet her momma 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 her presents from her uptown boys She's got a choice (Ooooohh...) 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 (Oohhhh...) Uptown girl She's my uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl

God you forget how good this is. Three minutes of absolute magic with no even slightly boring moments. And the SINGING! I'm sure most fans know Billy reckoned this album was probably the last time he'd be able to sing like this so he went out in a blaze of glory. That's the only problem. I want to sing along so much but I can't keep up with the high notes or all the ricocheting up and down the scales.
@@medicmick Yeah if he didn’t smoke and drink so much who knows how much longer his voice could have stayed. Also he looked 50 by the time he was in his 40s
CzarAice01 Same. I was only six and living in Korea so I had no idea what this song was saying but I loved it so much and asked my dad to replay it all the time.
This album has to be among the 'MUST HAVE's ' albums of all time in Pop History!. BILLY JOEL... you have made the world a better place with your amazing song writing talent and excellent Vocal. May you live well above 100 and continue to bless the world with even more amazing songs. Thank you BILLY JOEL! Greetings from Sunny Malaysia.
I love this since I was in 4 grade in the 80s This got grove!! Billy Joel is the man! I had a crush on a girl on my school bus and this song always played!! 😊
Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl was the second of six consecutive top forty hits from his An Innocent Man album that spent five consecutive weeks at number three on November 12-December 10,1983. That song not only was about Billy’s girlfriend at the time and he will later marry Christie Brinkley who also appeared in the video,it also paid homage to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons who inspired Billy to write Uptown Girl with the group in mind.
Just doesn't date does it? It's timeless. I always remember me and my dad in our car singing this song together This song cemented Billy Joel's name to immortality.

Gotta hand it to those back up singers too ! I always remember me and my dad in our car singing this song together This damn song has been stuck in my head for like a whole day lmao
No. This gets 5.5/10, while ""Uptown Funk!" gets 5.2. Westlife's version of this gets 5.3 and "Uptown Top Ranking" (by Althea & Donna) gets 5.4. They're all mediocre. Only listen to them if there's nothing else to do.
TheFoxSays literally the only thing those two songs have in common is a marginally similar title. and even that's a stretch. so why bring it up? just to take a piss on it? I am sorry but I thought we came here to listen to music we like not bitch about something we didn't when it makes no sense to do so

LYRICS:
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma 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 her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
(Ooooohh...)
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
(Oohhhh...)
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl

you are not alone!!! 😂😅😭💞
is cuz you a woman fam
fantastic pastiche tribute and homage to franki valli and the four seasons - huge huge fan right here
Franki Valli?
The very first Billy Joel song I ever loved, about twenty years ago, and it's still one of my favorites.
Love this old hit ! Was out when I was a teenager 💗
Such a darn classic pop song from good ole Billy Joel. It sounds awesome even today!
this song will forever remind me of the people's princess, Diana 💕
My favorite Billy Joel song of all time!!
you are on uptown kind of guy
Sameeeeeee
My second. For the longest time is mine :)
I'm with you 💯 I love uptown girl
can we talk about how good that "oooooooh" part is?
It’s the chords that does it 😉
This song is perfection
So true
I love this since I was in 4 grade in the 80s
This got grove!! Billy Joel is the man!
I had a crush on a girl on my school bus and this song always played!! 😊
never gets old.
Bruh, Billy Joel bodied this. I never heard this song before like 2 months ago. I've listened a million times since then.
You must watch the his video in this music its cool
discovered this gem from The Boy's ending credits. groovy~!
The Boys 🔥
Things were going so well for Hughie
@@Jaymark895Literally Hughie nailing starlight when the day just started 😆😂👍💀☠️

I love all the "retro" stuff on this album - this, "Christie Lee" and "This Night." Retro is cool now, was much rarer back in 1983.
To me, it's four seasons's vibes
I just imagine this song used as a theme whilst a gas mask guy in the apocalypse world running around with a hula girl bobble head as his companion.
