Goot, Alex - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) Lyrics
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for some day
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country."
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out, yeah
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
And he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
And it seems such a waste of time
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out, yeah
You should never argue with a crazy mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?
And if that's what you have in mind
Yeah, if that's what you're all about,
Good luck, moving up, 'cause I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out, yeah
Yeah, I'm movin' out

Goot, Alex Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) Comments
Auto tu tu tu tu tu tune....
Otherwise, good performance.
JRD DEA the whole performance was good, you’re just a loser that has to talk shit on anything you watch.
This is. The best
PRETTY GOOD OH WOW
Dude ignore all the rude comments, I've been searching for GOOD covers of this song and this is the only one I've found so far, you sound great!
If Shane Dawson were musically talented
Holy crap! Who knew these crusty old guys could be so mean! They're just jealous they can't sing and have no musical talent. I thought this was an amazing cover!
Picked the wrong song....it's meant to be sung by a man
Mark Hawkins at least he sung it. You?
i am goot
Great cover! loved it! You're awesome
The cringe is strong with this one
I actually loved this. Great job bro
Excellent!!
He’s too much of an emo boy band voice plies that xylophone does not fit in at all
All right just don't have a heart attack ack ack ack ack ack
oh my actual god please kill right now
Maybe you’ll have an Heart at ac ac ac ac ac
Stop singing like you’re being fucked in the ass and enjoying it
gay voice
xylophone is a nice touch
i preffer Michael Cavanaugh cover...
amazing song and great interpretation! great Alex!
I enjoyed it but the vocals wee're weak (in comparison to the rest). Try drinking, smoking, or living hard. Add some years to your voice and this could be golden.
Do not smoke. Smoking kills your voice and yourself. Even if this was a joke. SMOKING IS NOT GOOD . IN NO CASE
he has such an annoying voice and you missed an ac on heart attack
So good !!
People can't appreciate the fact you're playing drums, bass, piano and guitar, and you've mixed the track tight af. You can't help the texture of your voice, despite it being a brilliant voice anyway
This is so Freaking Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great version. Love the chord inversions. A hard song to get right but this is really freakin cool.
why so much hate tho...
Great to hear a modern cover of a Billy classic! Love it!
Please check out my Billy Joel covers.:)
This is the most hate if any that I've seen on one of his videos! Not sure why either
Dead wrong guy
This is great, the details on the change u did on the piano notes at the beginning and verse is just beautiful gives a different feeling to the song, a nice melancholic touch right there my friend. About the vocals i dont agree at all with many of the comments in here, awesome voice and great vibe at the entire cover, cheers from chile!
:432hz:
Didn't like this cover at all
Gaaaaaay
The supervillains did a way better cover
Unconvincing, unfeeling, overly poppy, "breathy," and just generally bad.
Spoiled Millennials and hipsters have no soul. Their voice lacks character and the wisdom that comes with real experience--and not the kind of experience that they purchase with their credit cards.
There. I'm finished.
I prefer the original song over this obviously, but that being said..........this is quite possibly the most pretentious comment I've read on YouTube.
@Charlie Shields New to YT, Charlie?
Oh shit! I was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to say about this! You totally nailed it!
'Character' is the key word here. Billy Joel was a character in the story of this song, so it didn't really matter if his pitch and articulation weren't 100%. It's the small imperfections, prosody, and accents that make charismatic and characteristic vocal performances.
Jesus Christ you sound pretentious lol. He did a good job.
instrumentation is good but I'm not a fan of the vocals.
same. :(
Gay cover !
I agree. Such good feels.
All haters can KICK ROCKS!! Alex I love your rendition of this song & I bet Billy Joel is proud of the 2000 feel you added to it. You & your friends keep up the good work!
Dumb robot.
+Anonymous utube troll
billy joel would be disgusted by this
i fucking hate covers, gives me ear cancer.... ruins the original song
KyungShik Park then stop looking them up jackass lol
solid cover, not crazy about the jonas brothers vocals though
Solid performance, but this arrangement does not suit the song at all. Its a little too polished and cute. It really needs that New Yorkese snarl to to make it work.
@***** That's what Im saying. This version isn't cynical. It's too cute to be cynical.
OK so it's cool you play all the instruments yourself here but ...
1- lose the xylophone for this song (it doesn't fit in), and...
2-no offense, but your voice is a little too 'boy band' for this song.
Otherwise, good job.
James Zee somehow I love the Xylophone sound in this song.. Best part for me.
James Zee yeah he’s to much of an emo boy band
Holy shit. I think i just fell in love. Im a huge Billy Joel fan and not typically a fan of covers, but this is amazing!!
Gay voice cover, Billy is better..
+Don Norris Don needs to take after his brother and stop jocking the D so hard.
i like this song, more powerful than original
I had to listen to this more than once to try and see why the haters are trashing this effort. I must say that this is a solid cover performance of a classic song. People should understand that a good cover will not always try to blind copy what Billy did with this song. It's hard to best Billy on his songs. But give this guy a break. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist with a very good voice. Keep on rocking.
this is horrible though. this dude sounds like disney channel plus one direction crap
Such horribly overproduced and pitch-corrected vocals.
Backing was solid though.
This video is proof that you can produce absolute crap and still get three million subscribers.
horrible
great instrument covers. buy vocals aren't full. Ur cutting them from being loud n powerful
one of the *best* covers. no kidding, *I'm obsessed with this*.
I gotta say, I like this better than the original...
What the fuck.
Youre worthless
You missed a "ack"
I can't believe he didn't say nigga
What are you talking about
+Dylan Torres (Vinylguy64) the lyrics, and if he can't drive with a broken back, kinda sound like a nigga can't drive with a broken back in the original
+Tom Lanzilotta oh haha I never heard that
Voice is gay as aids!
Yeh it's good to have a laugh.
Not gonna jump on you for what you say.... but I do feel I have to say that it's not cool.
This actually competes with the original
AMAZING voice
You actually missed an ack XD
Evlas Productions i was joking chill out omg lol
I think you may overestimate my passion in that statement
Evlas Productions i think you're gay <3
I'll make note of your observation.
Evlas Productions ok
Nice cover.I love your voice.
Awesome
Is there a recording of this minus the vocals? I gotta say, I loved you guys' cover but when I heard the voice.... No offense, you have a good voice just really not my style.
@jojothebug Yeah I agree. Sounds like some boy band vocals.
For sure
No this is amazing. Don't hate on him. I would love to see u do this...
+The Piano Man yeah he can't really help how his voice sounds
This is amazing dude
Hola quisiera saber sia echo un video de gorillas cantando de ese tema si lo a acho me mandan el link porfa x3
Better than the original
More Billy Joel covers plz! Loved this!
sounds a little bit gay to me
I love Billy Joel ❤️
I keep misreading his last name as "Groot"
then i hear the voice in my head "IM GROOT" whenever i read his name.
That xylophone though... lol
I get they need to do more up to date covers... but I really want to see the major cover channels to do more songs like this
That's certainly a unique spin on a wonderful song. I love it! Wish I could do something like that myself.
Too much auto tune. Sounds too fake for my ears.
From now on.. I will remember you Mr.Goot.. you are talented and have great sense in music. This song lack of emotion brother, but the music is awesome! Greeting from the land of Borneo.
Gotta love Billy Joel
So true
this is definitely my favourite cover you have done!
you made this song sounds sooo much like Maroon 5
I thought the same. It's still pretty darn good though.
I like this song~ga ga ga ga ga : )
Alex, my friend, that is just incredible! Please keep it up!
Fucking Phenomenal
Great job another outstanding video. I love what you do keep it up bra.
Not sure if this is the sound you're going for, but it sounds very Jonas Brothers-y to me. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something that caught my ear.
If anything, I compare him more to Owl City... either way, a much more talented musician that I
Gratulálok nagyon tetszett bár nem ertedz csak tudatni akartam i love goot music very much!
Great cover. I really like how true it stays to Billy Joel's cover. I know most people like unique versions when they listen to covers but I personally enjoy the ones that, when it comes to the singing (ie the speed and that), it stays close to the original because it's the original I fell in love with and most covers I've listened to that try to be unique are way to unique and far away from the original that I have trouble enjoying it. Overall, what I've been trying to say is, great cover and I really liked it.
Having been raised on Billy Joel, have always been weary of this one. First time I've listened to it. Amazing! I don't know why I doubted a modern-day Piano Man to do one of The Piano Man's songs!
Nice cover sounds amazing just lose the boy band voice and feel the song a bit more then happy days
I love goot's music, but this cover sounds too much like the original. I want an original style of a cover. It makes it unique. I like covers that are unique
This is pretty awesome
Too "pretty boy". It's missing that NYC hard edge. The kiddie xylophone kinda kills it, too.
YOU HAVE MAGIC IN YOUR THROAT
He's got a triforce tattoo :O
The beard looks great.
The guy has talent, but it sounds too boy band pop-ish for my taste, singing it with no soul takes the feel out of the song.
Agreed, good observation, without taking away from the guy, I like it!
I actually like that
Michael Cavanaugh cover is much better
You're so adorable <3
jazz drum !!
I heard one of your songs for the first time on pandora radio about 3 days ago and ever since then I've been listening to all of your songs non stop!! Your just an amazing singer!!! I'm defiantly telling all of my friends to listen to your music!! And hopefully I'll be able to go to your next concert!! does anyone know when his next tour is?!? I'd really like to go since my mom is taking my sister to see Katy Perry but I'd rather rock out to goot music!!! :D
If only today's "youths" had grown up with music and artists as great as Billy Joel, then this would have the millions if views it deserves. Definitely my favourite cover of yours Alex, well done!
like. buena canción saludos desde ecuador.
Could possibly be the most amazing thing I have ever heard!
Billy Joel should "Like" this. Fantastic!
a very good cover, as always! <3
I love this cover! I would absolutely LOVE IT if you sang Piano Man by Billy Joel!
this cover is pretty good no joke camera,instrumental and overall song
Please do a cover of piano man
Out of all your songs this one is by far my favorite! Btw, Happy 2014!
Agreed!
Zara Onmymind yeah.. Me too
