Maybe this should be in the music section instead, but it wasn't so much the song I wanted to talk about as the video. Now, the official video for Billy Joel's song is pretty good... but I prefer watching the ones that other people have made and put up on Youtube. Now a lot of them are basically just clip shows going through pictures of all the things mentioned in the song, but my favorite of these that I have found is this one that actually has the TV and film footage of the things that were going on at the time. Anybody else got an opinion on the videos for this song?

Thats a great vid, it must have taken someone quite sometime to put it together. I like seeing the pictures along with who he is singing about. I always liked that song.

Great video, thanks for posting. I always liked that song a lot.

The one thing this song reminds me of is the fact that when it came out, we didn't have the Internet to look up lyrics of course. Becky, a girl in my class, had it all written out, and it was the most amazing thing to all of us to have that to make copies of!
