Uptown Girl; settle a bet

I saw Martha Quinn recently on one of those really long Time Life commercials advertising a compilation of 80s music.

Ha, thanks. I only knew that one from her SNL monologue, where they reenacted it with Adam Sandler as Springsteen.

Uptown Girl was written for/about Christie Brinkley

(Mrs. Billy Joel at the time the song was released IIRC --not sure when the song was actually written)

Here ya go:

Some interesting background info:

"According to an interview with Howard Stern, Joel had originally titled the song "Uptown Girls" and it was conceived on an occasion when he was surrounded by Christie Brinkley, Whitney Houston and his then-girlfriend Elle Macpherson. According to numerous interviews with Joel, the song was initially written about his relationship with Macpherson, but it ended up also becoming about his soon-to-be wife, Brinkley."

Wow. There are not many situations in which Christie Brinkley is a second choice, but perhaps if one is dating Elle MacPherson...

Conversely, I'm thinking Kate Upton feels the same way about fdd and/or me...

You alread ygot your answer, but wouldn't Claudia Schiffer have been like 13 when that video was filmed?

Logic doesn't often help in these situations. She'd probably retort that Jake Lamotta let a 14 year-old into his Club, thinking she was (and looked) mid-20's. That she'd reference Raging Bull explains why I love her.

There are two ways to argue with Mrs. OPK. Neither one works, and one usually involves a couch before all is said and done.

Husband takes his wife to the Grand Canyon for their honeymoon. Wife wants to go on a donkey ride to the bottom of the G.C.

About a third of the way down, her donkey stumbles, and wife says, "stupid donkey".

About halfway down, her donkey stumbles, and wife shouts, "stupid jackass".

Near the bottom, her donkey stumbles for a third time, and wife jumps off, pulls out a gun and kills the donkey.

The husband is shocked and asks, "why did you do that?". Wife does not respond.

So, the husband says, "he did not do anything to you. Why did you kill the poor donkey?". Wife says, "that's twice!".

Brinkley was also in Joel's video "Matter Of Trust".
