I have loved this song since I was a little kid. I remember it would come on the radio and I would dance all around the house to it. Sure it is a really cheesy pop song, but sometimes those are what puts a smile on the face. You got to hand it to Billy Joel, he is a guy who came from nothing. Supposedly the song is about him falling in love with super model Christie Brinkley whom he married and then divorced years later. Watch the video even though you have to sit through a twenty second commercial cause its pretty classic. There is nothing more comical then a bunch of supposed to be hardened mechanics, black dudes and bikers dancing around a gas station singing Up Town Girl.
