billy joel is the ultimate sing-along boomer and if you don't get jazzed up singing to uptown girl or longest time you've lost your joie de vivre

i love how fucking gay his videos are. uptown girl is like west side story where you've got these extremely homosexual bandmates aping being blue collar mechanics. i love how the the wrench clangs and motorcycle noises are incorporated into the song as short jew billy joel mounts his chopper with the hottest chick ever as a gaggle of gays slam wrenches in the background.

no one wants to hear billy joel sing new songs about young love and youth. they certainly don't want to hear authentic songs about life as an aged short rich jew. we want to hear him belt out piano man and revel in the nostalgia.

The lullaby song he wrote for his daughter is really a short masterpiece.

Goodnight, my angel

Now it's time to sleep

And still so many things I want to say

Remember all the songs

You sang for me

When we went sailing

On an emerald bay

And like a boat out on the ocean

I'm rocking you to sleep

The water's dark

And deep inside this ancient heart

You'll always be a part of me

Joel's father, Howard (born Helmut) Joel (1923–2011), a classical pianist[15][14] and businessman, was born in Nuremberg, Germany, to a Jewish family, the son of merchant and manufacturer Karl Amson Joel, and educated in Switzerland. His father had created a highly successful mail-order textile business, Joel Macht Fabrik. To escape the Nazi regime, Howard's family emigrated to Switzerland. His father sold his business at a fraction of its value in order to emigrate. The family reached the United States via Cuba, because immigration quotas for German Jews prevented direct immigration at the time.[14] In the United States, Howard became an engineer but always loved music. Joel's mother, Rosalind (1922–2014),[16] was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish parents, Philip and Rebecca Nyman, who had emigrated from England.[17]
