It's Still Billy Joel To Me Lyrics - Weird Al Yankovic

What's the matter with the songs he's singin' 

Can't you tell that they're pretty lame 

After listenin' to a couple albums 

Well, they all start to sound the same 

So he tried to change his musical style 

He tossed all his ballads in the circular file 

Then he found the punk sound 

Breakin' ground all around 

It's still Billy Joel to me 

What's the matter with the tune he's writin' 

Well, you know it's gonna be a smash 

It's so nice when you're a big name artist 

Doesn't matter if it sounds like trash

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Now everybody thinks the new wave is super 

Just ask Linda Ronstadt or even Alice Cooper 

It's a big hit, isn't it 

Even if it's a piece of junk 

It's still Billy Joel to me 

Woah, it doesn't matter what the critics say about him 

'Cause he doesn't worry how they feel 

When you're record's sellin' millions and it's goin' triple platinum 

You don't worry 'bout your next meal 

'Cause money is no big deal 

Maybe he should dye his hair bright pink 

And stick a safety pin through his cheeks 

Then he'd really fit the new wave image 

But he couldn't sit down for weeks 

Don't you know about the record business, honey 

You gotta be trendy if you wanna make some money 

Now everybody's sayin' that he sure sounds funny 

But it's still Billy Joel to me

All right, Alfred 

Oh 

I can hardly wait 'til his next album 

Well, I'll bet it's gonna be the rage 

Buy a ticket to his next big concert 

Well, I wonder what he'll do on stage 

It might be disco and it might be the blues 

Or maybe even somethin' like the B-52's 

Just a handclap, finger snap 

Even if it's mindless pap 

It's still Billy Joel to me 

Everybody's sayin' that he sure sounds funny 

But it's still Billy Joel to me
