The Longest Time - Billy Joel (with Sam Bowden)

16-04-2023 • 1 hr 7 mins

We are joined by a good friend of the podcast Sam Bowden to try and help us discover why exactly this band decided to not go "full" sonic.

You can also get tickets to his & Aleks Milinkovic's live podcast recording of Whoa, Free Lunch!? at the Factory Theater in May here: https://www.factorytheatre.com.au/event/whoa-free-lunch/

Sing the following lyrics in the style of a barbershop quartet and you get a much clearer vision of Billy Joel's life in the mid-1980s:

Verse 1:
I may not be the finest thing you've ever seen
My face is lumpy, crooked, and unclean
But there's one thing that I know for sure
I'm a model magnet, my charisma's pure

Chorus:
Ugly but still scoring with the models
My charm and wit are the keys to the throttle
I may not have the looks, but I have the game
Models on my arm, I'm on top of the fame

Verse 2:
I may not have a chiseled jaw or perfect teeth
But I've got something else that's hard to beat
I've got a confidence that's out of sight
And models just can't resist my delight

Chorus:
Ugly but still scoring with the models
My charm and wit are the keys to the throttle
I may not have the looks, but I have the game
Models on my arm, I'm on top of the fame

Bridge:
It's not about how you look, it's how you act
A good personality is a solid fact
So don't let your looks get you down
With the right attitude, you'll be the talk of the town

Chorus:
Ugly but still scoring with the models
My charm and wit are the keys to the throttle
I may not have the looks, but I have the game
Models on my arm, I'm on top of the fame

Outro:
So if you're feeling down about your looks
Just remember what's in those model's books
They're looking for a man with a good heart
So let your confidence be the start.
