I only like one Billy Joel song, but I live for it: Piano Man. It has the exact histrionic crescendos and lack of subtlety I look for in my music. So when Fark called a
seven year old's version "
one of the greatest renditions of Piano Man," I had to check it out.
Well the kid sings it better than I do, but so could a beluga whale. There is a curious tag underneath the video that says: "This is a video response to
Piano Man - played by Justin. "
A battle! Off to Justin's version.
After 6 seconds of Justin, it's clear the 7-year-old creamed him.
Still and all,
Elton John trumps them both.
(Also: Does Billy Joel look like Jesse Jackson?)
