Uptown Girl

Hehe I actually really like this song. It is long and really paints a picture of the girl or type of girl the character is dreaming about. Some people can really relate to how he is feeling, especially high school guys... And a lot of people know a girl like that, who all the men adore and wish were his girlfriend. She is pretty and rich and all the pretty rich boys buy her lots of expensive things.

My favorite line in this song is You know I cant afford to buy her pearls

But maybe someday when my ship comes in
Shell understand what kind of guy Ive been
And then Ill win

It really makes you think about what he is trying to tell us and brings in a good saying from the time. It also kinda shows how he can't buy her expensive things but he's willing to work to be able to do that.

I also have to say I love the music video for this song. All the mechanics following a woman in a fur coat is just too good to be true. And yet Billy Joel makes it true :) It all takes place in this one shop just walking to and fro around. This is a great song and a great video :)
