It's really along the lines of "Raspberry Beret" and "Take me With U" in rhythm and style.

Have we discussed the political and religious subtext of "Uptown Girl"? Does Uptown refer to a certain economic class and/or lifestyle?

I want you all to get up right now from your comfy chairs and head to the nearest window!! Open her up as wide as she’ll manage and scream at the top of your lungs, “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!!”

And if that doesn't work, recite the lyrics to “Uptown Girl” so that the rest of this god-forsaken planet might begin to appreciate that you’re a downtown man just looking for a white-bread girl.

Sorry. Just having some fun with the first thing that your note placed in my mind. wink

It was the 80s way of saying..."I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke broke". biggrin

Yes, I know. She didn't have Billy Joel money, though.

Well, I'll bed she'd take Billy over that loser she got with after him.

The story at the time of, and after, their divorce was that Billy wasn't able to perform that well in bed, either from impotence, sporting a half-nelson, or just being a lousy lay overall to Christie.

Maybe he was using something that caused that to happen. Either that or he wasn't that attracted to her.

Maybe he wanted a trophy wife?

I thought that there was something peculiar about the song that he wanted us to hear, then again maybe not. It is an okay song in my opinion.

I didn't say he NEVER performed. He just was as consistent throughout the marriage.
