The Lyrics
Whats the matter with the song I'm playin?
"Cant't you tell he's the piano man?
Maybe I should go an play the entertainer?
just cos he utilises a back up band
Where have you been hidin'out lately, honey?
can't you tell he's still alive and still makes a lot of money
Everybodys talkin''bout his new soundFunny, but its still Billy Joel to me
Whats the matter with the food I'm eaten.
Scenes form an italian restraunt it seems"
Captain Jack yeah he's a good mate
And now were gonna cruise the river of dreams
done a duet with Elton john he must be mental
You best bets a true baby grand
go oriental."
Hot funk, cool punk, even if he's old junk.
Its still Billy Joel to me
.
Oh, it doesnt matter what they say in the papers
'Cause its always been the same old scene.
Theres new Joel in Allentown
but you can't find the big man on mulberry street.
now goodnignt saigon to me
How about a copy of an innocent man
And we can go and have a dance?
"You could really sing some songs in the attic,
if you just give it half a chance.
Dont waste your money on a new set of speakers,
Some guys keep a thinkin mr Jole is a wreaker
you get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
he's old still in2 soul now seems like he's growin mould
He's still Billy Joel to me
Whats the matter with the crowd H'es seeing?
"Dont you know tha gays are out of touch?"
Should he do another elton John Duet
once again lose his sense of touch
Dont you
know about the new music honey? All you needs a Bit of Billy Joel and some money
Its the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
he's still Billy joel to me.
Everybodys talkin bout the new sound
Funny, but hes still Billy Joel to me
"Cant't you tell he's the piano man?
Maybe I should go an play the entertainer?
just cos he utilises a back up band
Where have you been hidin'out lately, honey?

I agree, and this was good, a lot of original lines though.
Kristian, be forewarned. I did a parody with the same title and got several comments about "ripping off Weird Al," who used the same title several years ago. The rest of the words are all different, though. And you can't copyright a title.
Yep... quite nice. Actually, I bet that's a good strategy, ripping off a Weird Al title, that way you'll get *all* the Weird Al fans like me, coming in to tell you off for plagiarism, realizing its not plagiarism and then reading your parody ;-).
I didn't know wierd al made a song with this name!!! an I made a few mistakes in the song
A few? Don't look for answers. You took your chances.
Don't ask me why. Or, as Billy would say, "Don't AX me why."
Doesn't "Weird Al" Yankovich already have a song called "It's Still Billy Joel To Me?"
One option is to make this a parody of the Weird Al spoof and call it something like, "It's still Billy Joel to Me #2" (a common Homer and Jethro trick) or "After further consideration, I have come to the conclusion that it's STILL Billy Joel to Me!" -- MM
Aaerni - for your answer, see comments above. And it's Yankovic.
You sucked me in by copying Weird Al's title. Admirable effort but the pacing needed work.
I have to agree with neminem. I was just flicking thru Bill Joel and found this and was like 'Wat da hell???!!!" and read the first line and realized it's different. Got me worried for a sec there?
Billy Joel is a legend. You suck.
