In today’s music video of the day, Billy Joel lives the dream of every 1980s auto mechanic and works on Christie Brinkley’s car.  Just as in real life, this video ends with Joel and Brinkley together.  While it is often speculated that the song was written about Brinkley, Joel has said that it was actually inspired more by his earlier relationship with Elle Macpherson.

Billy Joel has also said that he didn’t enjoy making this video because a large group of bystanders kept yelling “Hey, Christie!” during shooting.

Director Jay Dubin also did music videos for John Mellencamp and REO Speedwagon.

Enjoy!
