One of the rockinest songs ever to usher in the 1980's and boy we needed it as the economy was an utter shit storm with wicked inflation, double digit interest rates and lots of unemployment. Joel brilliantly merged a 50's be-bop feel with modern rock and created a masterpiece. Those of us who were teenagers had been grabbing our parents 45's and playing the crap out of them so this song was right up our alley. The tenor sax solo at 1:52 is probably one of the best I can remember and ranks right up there with the sax solo in "The Logical Song" by Supertramp.

"Welcome back to the age of jive Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey? You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money" Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me What's the matter with the car I'm driving? "Can't you tell that it's out of style?" Should I get a set of white wall tires? "Are you gonna cruise a miracle mile? Nowadays you can't be too sentimental Your best bet's a true baby-blue Continental" Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still rock and roll to me Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers 'Cause it's always been the same old scene There's a new band in town, but you can't get the sound From a story in a magazine Aimed at your average teen How about a pair of pink sidewinders And a bright orange pair of pants? "Well, you could really be a Beau Brummel, baby If you just give it half a chance Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers" Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways It's still rock and roll to me Oh, what's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing? "Don't you know that their out of touch?" Well, should I try to be a straight-A student? "If you are then you think too much Don't you know about the new fashion, honey? All you need are looks and a whole lotta money" It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways It's still rock and roll to me Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

I’m 17 years old, and have a very complicated relationship with my mother. I’ve always been into music, I love music ranging from the 50s to now, my mom not so much. But, my mom loves Billy Joel. So much. We went to a Billy Joel concert at Madison Square garden, and it blew me away, but it also connected me and my mother in a way I never imagined. We don’t get along always, but whenever she starts to get on my nerves, I think about how happy she was at that concert, and it reminds me that she’s human and not all humans are perfect. I love my mom, and I love Billy Joel.

LYRICS What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing? Can't you tell that your tie's too wide? Maybe I should buy some old tab collars? Welcome back to the age of jive. Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey? You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money. Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me What's the matter with the car I'm driving? Can't you tell that it's out of style? Should I get a set of white wall tires? Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile? Nowadays you can't be too sentimental Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental. Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still rock and roll to me. Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers 'Cause it's always been the same old scene. There's a new band in town But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine... Aimed at your average teen How about a pair of pink sidewinders And a bright orange pair of pants? You could really be a Beau Brummell baby If you just give it half a chance. Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers, You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers. Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways It's still rock and roll to me What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing? Don't you know that they're out of touch? Should I try to be a straight 'A' student? If you are then you think too much. Don't you know about the new fashion honey? All you need are looks and a whole lotta money. It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways It's still rock & roll to me. Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

Seems like Weird Al Yankovic tried to do a parody of this called "It's still Billy Joel to me." Still, Billy Joel didn't waste any money on hair transplant, rogaine, or Hair Club. Even if his hair's gone, he's still Billy Joel to me!

[@FanboyFilms]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWe3Y3Vpi82nsM0 When Al doesn't get the artist's permission to do the parody, he doesn't release it. But he does sometimes play them in concert so you sometimes find cell phone recordings on KZbin. In this case it was a song from his first album that didn't make the cut or wasn't ready, so they never sought Joel's permission or tried to release it because they moved onto other things. Not sure where this "home demo" release came from.

[@kleckamania4477]

Ironically I've always thought this was one of the most punk rock songs ever. Despite the grainy 60s guitar riffs in the opening, and the Rockabilly bridges you'd laugh... But these lyrics were sharp af. Billy started punk, and I see flashes of it on each album since. This song though... is more punk then most punk music. Fucking love it so much.

[@haydengoodman9525]

it's supposed to be like a smeagol and golum conversation, the dual layer voice represents the industry while the singular track is him questioning it.. helps create the effect of the conversation in the lyrics.. it's a dated sound but I honestly like it in this song.

+The Guru of Greatness Doesnt bother me because its his own voice sounds cool on my new set of speakers

+The Guru of Greatness It is a weird effect. Besides having the voice overlay, there's also no reverb on those parts. That's why it has that feeling of being too present +Enigmatism415 is talking about. It is still an awesome song, and I bet it's one of those ones that's even better live.
