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

I sing this at karaoke instead of Billy Joel’s original words haha

my man al's off the shits

La única parodia de Al que no me gusta.

Weird Al is extremely talented-Perhaps he'll be inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

WHATSA Matter!....

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

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

This should go on his next album. It's pretty good. And thanks for putting they lyrics down because I can't understand everything Al is saying here. Why is it always that with fuckin' singers?

Love Billy and Al, grew up with both of them for 40 years...Al since "another one rides the bus" on doctor D, was one of them weirdos that listened to radio at 2am, shit it's 1:53 as i write this, LOL!

i went to my room, fell on my bed and rested my head. I was at that casino/hotel that week, so it was a walk across the parking lot to my room.

But Al is still writing new shit and Billy hasn't written shit in 25 years.

Dr. Demento on KMET back in the day.
