I was just told by a friend of mine that this was shot at the long, gone Sunoco gas station at the intersection of Bond St and Bowery in NYC. This was shot in 1983. My friend lives across from there and I remember going here many times in the late 90s. Now it's an upscale apartment building. Little by little, the NYC that I remember fades away.

I have a story about one of the first times I heard this when it was brand new. It just came out on MTV which we used to watch everyday for hours. The next day my 3rd grade teacher brought the LP in and played it on the record player in class. I thought it was strange she would play a record for us but she did for show and tell time. She used to talk about Billy Joel all the time.

[@MsBeth0825]

I heard it when my boyfriend brought the brand new LP to my house for a party. He was so enthralled by it that he'd already memorized every word of the lyrics, and he put it on the stereo and we all, every one of us, danced to every song. And he sang every word to me. It was like a giant music video of our own, and this was before any of us had ever seen any videos from the album. He had dark hair and a beard, and I was, still am, very blonde, so we dressed as Billy and Christie for Halloween that year (we even won a couple of costume prizes) And I married him, two years later. That whole LP was our music. It so fit two broken hearted people who healed in each other's presence.

Everyone who is commenting is acting braindead. The commenter in question said "I still love the music of that era." Let it go. You can miss something that was made before you unless you never experienced it. E.g., you can't miss food you never ate. In this case, the commenter expressly stated that what he/she misses is the music. So let's insert "I do miss the 80s [style music."

Something I love about this music video is how each of the four mechanics have a unique character to them. You could imagine a sitcom centered around these dudes. From left to right at 00:55... 1) The overconfident, aggressive flirt. Thinks of himself as a ladies man. Always scheming up something to get with the ladies. Bit of a jokester 2) The leader of the bunch. Rightfully confident, probably has the most experience. He has your back, and winds up fixing any troubles the group gets into. Reliable, an all-rounder 3) The new guy. Enthusiastic, but a bit naive. Likes to have fun, and often the first to get roped into any shenanigans. Wears his hat because he thinks he's supposed to. 4) The brains. Calm, the voice of reason. Socially stiff and a little awkward, but is a good guy. Wears his hat because it's professional
