5 - It's Still Billy Joel To Me [Re-broadcast]

On episode #5 of The Vault, we go to extremes and ponder whether we like Billy Joel's songs just the way they are, as well as Christie Brinkley's big hat, how Joel dissolved the Soviet Union and it being dark at night-night-night-night-night.

Find out which nominees make the cut and land in The Vault. This week we consider:

Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" [Watch Billy Joel's dancing in the official music video here]

Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" [Watch the infamous video here]

Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon" [Watch SNL's take on the song here]

This week's panel includes host- Patrick, producer- Nick and guest- Kate.
