#Vienna and Only the good die young by Billy Joel

[beelzebubsbois]

Has anyone ever talked about divorce arc parents music taste?

Because I know we have like.. Dad lore and Mom lore.. but my parents are on the verge of divorce, and they have such varying music.

Mom: Songs about men cheating, female rage and empowerment, fuck society and fuck all men

Dad: begging the girl to stay, not wanting to be alone, trying desperately to tell the love of your life how much they mean to you.

#like.. #mom: #im not the only one by Sam Smith #Swine by Demi Lovato #vs. #dad: #So much like my dad by George Strait #Vienna and Only the good die young by Billy Joel #Secrets by OneRepublic #maybe its just my parents dynamic that is fucking this up-

[thebreakfastgenie]

Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) You should never argue With a crazy mind-mind-mind-mind-mind-mind

The Stranger Did you ever let your lover See the stranger in yourself?

Just the Way You Are I don't want clever conversation Never want to work that hard, mm

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant Cold beer, hot lights My sweet romantic teenage nights

Vienna You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?

Only the Good Die Young I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun

She's Always a Woman And the most she will do Is throw shadows at you

Get It Right the First Time But if my timing ain't just right What purpose would that serve?

Everybody Has a Dream I search everywhere for some new inspiration But it's more than cold reality can give

My favorite lyrics from each Billy Joel song

Cold Spring Harbor | Piano Man | Streetlife Serenade | Turnstiles | 52nd Street | Glass Houses | The Nylon Curtain | An Innocent Man | The Bridge | Storm Front | River of Dreams | Turn the Lights Back On | You're Only Human

#billy joel #favorite billy joel lyrics #again i could have chosen literally any lyric from vienna #THEEEEEE song #she's always a woman too it was so hard

[electrificata]

"best billy joel song" is at LEAST a toss up between "vienna" and "scenes from an italian restaurant" btw. that other post is an abomination. "piano man" is a competitor for best but in the end its really just the most popular. "we didn't start the fire" is NOT a song you enjoy in straightforward fashion, you can ONLY have a complicated relationship with it. "movin out." "only the good die young." "new york state of mind?????" "downeaster alexa" (dark horse option). but the true crown can only go to "miami 2017 (seen the lights go out on broadway)" obviously. i dont need to make a poll because i already have the answers.

#feeling very schmidt from new girl in that one scene. you know the scene. #my brooklyn/long island-raised mother doesnt actually acknowledge any of his work past like 1980. respectable traditionalist stance

Fave Billy Joel Song?

(Yes I deliberately omitted We Didn’t Start The Fire. That is a LIST and not a SONG.)

[thebreakfastgenie]

If you had to make a script for a Billy Joel episode of Glee what episodes would you put in it

Okay so I actually think the Billy Joel episode of Glee did a decent job with the songs it chose:

Movin' Out

Piano Man

My Life

An Innocent Man

Honesty

Just the Way You Are

You May Be Right

They had previously done Piano Man, Only the Good Die Young, Uptown Girl, New York State of Mind, and The Longest Time.

They had no problem using Piano Man again, so I'm going to treat songs appearing previously as no object, that being said I feel less strongly that Only the Good Die Young is essential since it was used in the show elsewhere. Anyway I'm going to come up with seven songs because Movin' Out had seven and that gives me a guide lol. This isn't a cohesive episode plot it's just songs I think would work well, I will think about a cohesive episode plot but I need more time for that.

I would do:

The Entertainer (idk who would sing this but I'm picturing Mr. Schue bringing someone in to mentor the kids about the music business and this person being cynical and singing this song)

You May Be Right (but edited better, christ I hate how they edited it)

Tell Her About It (I see Blaine doing this one)

Allentown (that tank factory you're obsessed with fits in with the dying industrial town theme, also the music video for this is a little homoerotic so Kurt and Blaine could do something with that maybe)

An Innocent Man (in the episode this is used as a teen angst romance thing and it's great, it was kind of a surprising choice to me at the time and it was excellent I would keep it)

Summer, Highland Falls but only if Blaine gets to sing/play piano (I can't stomach a Glee cover of Vienna even though I think Darren Criss could do it so he gets Summer, Highland Falls)

We Didn't Start the Fire (Gwyneth Paltrow's substitute character should do this one. Also I know Mr. Schue becomes a history teacher but it doesn't suit him.)

I know Piano Man is obligatory but fuck that. It's too long and you can't edit Piano Man because Billy Joel will write a whole other song just to yell at you. Also like enough already. Enough.

Some other considerations:

This Is the Time as a Finn/Rachel graduation/breakup situation, featuring the other high school kid couples facing an uncertain future as well

My Life was great in the episode also and I would love to see that again

It's Still Rock and Roll to Me in the context of the kids freaking out because their intel says their competition (that school in the pilot with the steel drum band) is doing something flashy and new and Mr. Schue reassuring them that it's all still just rock and roll and they just need to do what they do

Keeping the Faith in the context of doing an old school throwback number for a competition but I would kill myself if I had to watch Glee do that because old school throwback numbers were my school's show choir's Thing and they won all kinds of competitions and everyone was obsessed with them

Miami 2017 when one of the original kids has a getting fired/quitting/dropping out arc in New York and is being dramatic about it lol
