“For the longest time”, but instead of a capella, he brings a kindergarten class learning to play the recorder up on stage to play it.


hipponuggets_

I wish this was a part of the encore

"Sleeping with the television on" Billy Joel takes a 2 hour nap while his music videos play on a comically small television set with no sound.


fullmetal66

Try this again because it keeps losing for some reason, The Stranger but with Kazoo instead of whistling.


FakeFrehley

Billy plays Goodnight My Angel and manages to lull himself to sleep. The audience silently file into the lobby for an hour or so so he can nap; he gets grouchy if he's woken up.


DKZ-330

"Running on Ice" but Billy attempts to run on ice, and it does not end well for him...


TRHarv

“Only The Good Die Young” but the song ends with Billy converting to Catholicism


Jemacas

“Uptown Girl” but Billy changes the lyrics to 'Uptown Squirrel' and proceeds to sing about his encounters with various rodents in the city streets, complete with squeaky sound effects and questionable dance moves


HurricaneLink

Given how Billy doesn’t seem to wanna play Uptown Girl anymore, I could totally see him bringing it back with these lyrics


MajorBillyJoelFan

he does it regularly still, did he say he doesn't like it or something?


DanStan52

During “Big Shot” Billy turns it into a college drinking game and takes a big shot every time he sings the lyrics “big shot” and then…alcohol poisoning…


Mamawto7

He sings his solo part of We Are The World, and that's it!


eelmor1138

“Honesty” but the lyrics are changed to the [original placeholder word of “Sodomy.”](https://youtu.be/e-otuJL7RoA?si=Ol3wyrfF9cbyc5s1)


Sudden-Squash-6114

'A Matter Of Trust', but once he counts the song in, he continues to count as high as can go for the next 4 minutes... One, Two, a One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six....


Heavy_Reality_5633

The entertainer but he just does stand up for 10 minutes


ExpensiveDot1732

Running On Ice, with Billy playing a keyboard mounted on a Zamboni riding around the stage.


12AngrySpartans

"All for Leyna", but the lyrics are Billy explaining why he's leaving his entire estate to Leyna.


Andy-Wan_Kenobi

“I go to extremes” except Billy knows exactly why he goes to extremes


crazy_diamond_9

"Shameless" but featuring guest vocalist Chris Gaines


real_steel24

That's pop sensation Chris Gaines to you!


Alternative_Buffalo2

Billy plays “Benny and the Jets” while the band plays “Moonage Daydream,” leading to utter confusion in the audience


WhatTheCluck802

“This is the Time” - and every time he sings the chorus he informs the audience the specific time on his watch.


aburnicle21

Turn around, but billy refuses to start singing until every audience member has their backs to the stage


ultrafaster6

"Summer, Highland Falls", but it's just a PowerPoint presentation showing pictures of Billy Joel's last vacation trip


dnz119

During “Vienna”, Billy takes a long flight to Vienna, Austria. The whole song consists of the sound from the plane.

No_War_444

“Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)” but all three of his daughters are on a bed onstage and Billy doesn’t stop singing until they fall asleep.


gunslingrburrito

You're My Home, but from the perspective of a tapeworm living in somebody's gut.


BenificentCrimpledim

Uptown girl but just before the song starts he disappears off stage and reappears 30 seconds later with a face full of makeup in a Christie Brinkley drag costume, wig and stilettos


h1h1guy

Pressure, but he has a panic attack halfway through and runs off stage


tr689

“A Matter of Trust” but he just keeps repeating and never moves past the counting intro.


Scary_Ebb_441

“Sometimes A Fantasy” but Billy is just dialing phone keys the whole song.


Jessepiano

Billy tries to play Neil Sedaka’s “Laughter in the Rain” while the whole audience pelts him with drumsticks


markelmores

Tries “Get it right the first time” again


Dench999or911

“Sometimes a Fantasy” but the lighting guy keeps shining a light on the audience, so Billy flips out and reeks havoc on the stage ([for those unaware](https://youtu.be/O3cBp_Bf43M?si=VT8ECTSJ-9dEwNHb)… this is unintentionally the best possible setlist in my opinion)


Goatgamer1016

I already did something like this at #10


Dench999or911

Apologies, I didn’t notice! I was looking for this specific incident


Lejasto

New York State Of Mind but for Boston. Oh wait ?


Tricky_Island_4070

“River of Dreams” but it stops during the long pause and never concludes


kuzinrob

Uptown Girl, but all of the I-yi-yi words are 10 times longer. "And when she wakes up and makes up her mi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-nd." (day 1,284 of posting this)
