It doesn't really matter how you're introduced to new music, so long as the introduction is made. I find a lot of new music, well, new to me anyway, through the TV shows I watch. I can't believe I'd never heard this Billy Joel tune until recently watching this episode of HIMYM. This is performed by the actors who play Ted (Josh Radnor) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). After seeing this performance, I went digging on YouTube for a cool performance by Joel himself. While I enjoyed the music video that was created for the song, I enjoy a live performance so much more, especially when it's an a capella style. The video below is from his 1984 concert in the UK.
The song was a hit in 1984 for Joel. It climbed up to the #3 spot on the Adult Contemporary chart, released as the fourth single from An Innocent Man. The song was completely a capella, save the bass guitar. The other fourteen tracks on the cut are all Joel's vocals. That's impressive!
