Today We Celebrate... Weird Billy Joel Covers

We just rebuked Ron Rosenbaum for his attack on Billy Joel and feel great about. Love him or hate him, Joel has contributed a lot to American pop culture. Songs like "Just The Way You Are" and "New York State of Mind" have become part of the Great American Songbook, p[lacing Joel besides names like Gershwin and Porter. Lighten up, Rone. Today the Grinder is celebrating the pugnacious pop rocker from Long Island.


This is wild. It's one dude singing all five parts of "The Longest Time." At the same time. Magic!


Does the band Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies play ska? Or are they more of a ska-surf combo? Or is it like ska-surf mixed with pop punk? Whatev. Check out "Only the Good Die Young," Virginia.


Really, we suggest you don't watch this. Serious. You certainly shouldn't watch it all the way through, lest you witness horrors mortal man was not meant to see.
