This song about asserting your independence was the theme to the 1980 television sitcom Bosom Buddies - the one that introduced many of us to Tom Hanks (in a dress!). However, because of licensing issues, the title theme was not Joel's version and was sung by a soundalike singer. Even by '80s standards, the show had a very long opening sequence, with the song playing for about a minute at the beginning of the broadcast. When the series was released on DVD, the song had to be purged for legal reasons (this is very common - before they got the music cleared, the WKRP in Cincinnati DVD episodes sounded ridiculous with most of the music expunged). It was replaced with a song called "Shake Me Loose" by Stephanie Mills. Note the pleasing high harmonies on this one - Chicago members Peter Cetera and Donnie Dacus joined Joel for the backing vocals. Allegedly, the verse "closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast; now he gives them a stand up routine in LA" refers to comedian Richard Lewis. Lewis is indeed native to Joel's stomping ground, born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. A chunk of these lyrics - specifically the part about Richard Lewis - appear in British alternative rock band A's "Number One," which gets Joel a partial songwriting credit on that album. This was Joel's seventh Billboard Top 40 hit. And a bit of trivia, since Elton John is the other famous piano-playing rocker, let it be known that of the two, Elton was the first with a Top-40 single. Elton's "Your Song" in 1970 beat out Joel's "Piano Man" in 1974. (Songfacts.com)

I recently attended a Billy Joel concert in Houston. He filled a baseball stadium even though he has not put out any new music in almost 30 years. But what struck me most was the very diverse ages of the attendees. There were at least as many young people there as there were old codgers (like me). Most of his stuff is timeless.

My favourite Billy Joel song of all time. It speaks so much of the relationship strains so many of us felt in the late 80s when jobs became more stressful, family time constraints with longer hours at work and the kids' extra activities outside the home... Families soon found themselves fracturing under pressure from all sides. Only the strongest marriages survived and we really needed to trust our spouses that we'd hold it together no matter what it took. Sadly, work/life balance hasn't been the same since the 80s.

Billy Joel reminds me of my childhood. 💛 I had all his albums and loved the fact he had all the lyrics to his songs in his album and would sit along side my bed in the floor singing along to all of his songs. Billy Joel lives on Long Island so we were always so big on him and major fans! Now living in NYC I get some of his references like in "Big Shot" where he mentions the restaurant Elaine's, which I lived only 6 blocks from (it's now closed)...was a big celebrity spot. You should listen to "only the good die young" and " Movin Out". I think you reacted to some of my faves by him already.

Written by Billy Joel. Guest singer is Peter Cetera, then of Chicago. At the time, he and Billy Joel were in the same record company, CBS/Columbia Records. Great song! 👍 This was also the theme song to the TV comedy Bosom Buddies starring Tom Hanks. Suggested video: Billy Joel sings I Go to Extremes.

I'm a brit who used to work in the US kids summer camps in the late 80's (summer job for foreign students, I was a dish washer ,lol), they always played this song when they got all the kids together. I always took it to mean "think for yourself, don't just follow the crowd". Couldn't be more appropriate today..

Love this song. It's one of my favorites by Billy Joel. Now you need to react to "It's Still Rock n' Roll To Me" and "You May Be Right." Both were from the mega-hit album "Glass Houses." Worth every minute of your time to listen to the whole record. Some stellar music on it. Love the reaction, as always. Peace!

Such a great songwriter. Other favs are Summer Highland Falls - awesome piano , Leningrad, written after his experience plays a tour in Russia in the late 80’s, and Lullabye Goodnight My Angel, written for his daughter. I have all his albums. Not a bad song on them.

_Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the West Coast._ _Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A...._ Anyone who's ever worked in a cubicle has yearned for this at some point. And probably lots of other jobs, too. Just the "screw it all, dump it and go, not lookin' back." That's a timeless appeal for *anyone* who's stuck in a grind.

This brings back nostalgic memories of the TV show bosom buddies with a very young Tom Hanks. It was my first time seeing Tom Hanks and I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since. That’s why I absolutely love this song. Thanks for the reaction guys. Love it!❤

Billy Joel is one of my favorite singers and he never disappoints. Please listen to "River of Dreams", which is one of his best songs and is also his last top 40 hit on the Billboard pop chart. It was released in 1993. The video is a must to watch also. It's quite powerful and spiritual. Other good songs to listen to are "Downeaster Alexa", which he wrote for his daughter Alexa and "You're Only Human". This song is catchy and has a good beat but the song was actually about teenage suicide. Billy Joel did not recieve a dime for this song and the proceeds he made went to teen suicide centers and to make people aware.

My two faves are We Didn’t Start The Fire and River Of Dreams, although I can’t think of a bad Billy Joel song. Saw him once each decade from the 70s to the 2000s, awesome every time. Last time (probably now around age 60) he had a giant screen at each end of the stage and as he walked on stage each screen had a huge picture of his face. He stopped in front of one of the screens, looked up and said “How the hell did my Dad get here?” Classic.

His bad jokes are one of the best things about his shows (other than the music, natch.) It's all rather unpolished and cheesy, - and natural - which just makes it all the more fun. 🙂

I was 18 when I moved from home to live with my sister. Turned out she was more controlling than mom. Paid half of everything, and then some, just to have so many rules & regulations. I gave her this song when I finally got fed up & put my foot down!
