Here's the lead-off song from my favorite Billy Joel album. (I love the breaking glass sound effect before the song starts.)

| Don't throw it, Billy! |
This song is involved with one of my favorite stories from my youth. (I've already written about this experience. Here's a link to that story: Dirty Jokes and Lemonade.) The lead singer of the live band at a Youth Conference dance felt the need to change the lyrics from "I told you dirty jokes." Unfortunately for him, he originally changed it to "I told you dirty stories," which actually makes it worse. Then, the next time he sang the song, he changed it to "I gave you lemonade."
It's a great song for questioning one's sanity:
"You say that only proves that I'm insane."
"You may be right, I may be crazy."
"It just may be a lunatic you're looking for."
