Look at this gost
Here is a tragedy: I heard a few seconds of "Big Shot" over the weekend and now I can't chase it out of my head for love or money. The lyrics are so relevant to my life right now--oh oh whoa whoa oh, oh oh whoa who-oo-oo-oo-ah, oh oh oh whoa whoa oh, oh oh whoa indeed. Also, I've become obsessed with the part where he starts singing in an accent for no reason, like, "YOU HAD TO BE A BEEG SHOT DEED YOU!" Why does he do this? Is the accent Italian? French? Russian? It throws me, a virgin, into a volcano of embarrassment.

"Then she says she needs affection

She's so good with her stilleto

You don't mind the pain!"
P.S. Word verification "ersin." Shouldn't that be "ursine?" With a "u"?
Lyrically he is a Genius of the Realm.
That fake Big Shot accent is so embarrassing, my face is red right now just thinking about it.
Now whenever I hear this song on the radio, I'm going to giggle at that part (Romanian, by the way). And I just know that it's going to be softly playing in my car on the way from a tragic funeral to the cemetery, and my parents will be in the car with me.
Valerie, I know, it gives me the worst douche chills. And then I imagine him performing the song live, and the crowd going totally wild when he gets to that part, and then I die inside.
JMH, I think your parents would understand...unless your parents are Billy Joel.
Is Billy Joel a hermaphrodite?
ugh, i can't believe you even brought this up. i can feel the periods between white. hot. spotlight. big. shot. last. night.
Those pauses are so painful! It is the most painful song.
