    what a great pop song! he makes it look so easy. this song was such a HUGE hit in the mid 80's. laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers. great lyrics. and to have stevie wonder playing a harmonica solo on your song is some pretty sweet icing on the cake. btw, billy joel is a badass!!!!!!
