This page is supposed to be about the BILLY JOEL song, the "Westlife version" should get it's own page, or be put under "notable covers." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.231.176 ( talk) 01:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Were there any more versions of the opening other than MTV and Friday Night Videos? I know of these versions personally since I have the actual tapes to document. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.39.80 ( talk) 09:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
There was another video produced, possibly just in the UK as when it appeared on Top of the Pops it was not the video of the mechanics in the garage —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.2.57.146 ( talk) 20:16, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Image:9UptownGirl1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is this the line "When my ship comes it?"
While that line is in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, I'll bet 99% of the people use that line are not referencing the Merchant of Venice. . .
What supports that Merchant of Venice was his source for the line, and that he had not heard the line in daily conversation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.39.144.40 ( talk) 08:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Since this song seems very reminiscent of The Four Seasons, I suggest that this song's genre be changed to "rock". Not only does it sound much like a Four Seasons record, it also has a sort of backbeat to it, making it rock music. Thus, the article's given genre of "pop rock" doesn't make much sense. Why would anybody think this song is just a "pop rock" song? Perhaps it doesn't have things like electric guitar solos? Doesn't necessarily mean it's not a rock song. 69.121.17.200 ( talk) 12:42, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Billy first thought of the song when he surrounded by Christie Brinkley, Elle Macpherson, and Whitney Houston
The text suggests Claudia Schaffer appeared in the Joel video. Wasn’t it Christie Brinkley as per the photo? Claudia Schaffer was in the Westlife video, wasn’t she?

This song has song interesting stuff going on in the song. The song is mainly in the key of E Major; however, the pre-chorus is in C Major, the chorus is in A Major, and the bridge is in b minor. Because Joel said that the song was inspired by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ music, it uses these interesting key changes that we don’t see in today’s pop music anymore. I I think that it’d be useful to include a composition section in the article to discuss the song’s key changes. KevinML ( talk) 10:41, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
