When I first heard this song back in high school, it motivated me to finally confess to the girl that I had feelings for for quite a while. 7 years later, we are happily married and are expecting a child in November. Billy, I cannot thank you enough.
This is an excellent line, but personally I like a line from 'Keeping the Faith' a bit more. "You know the good old days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems." That is one of my guiding principles in life
I've known It's Still Rock and Roll to Me for some twenty years. I found out it was by Billy yesterday. (Is that for the longest time? ;)) I haven't even checked the collection I have to see if they have his version or some cover (it's some cheap 50s and 60s collection).
As a kid in the 80s I always loved how BILLY Joel had a lot of songs with that 50's 60's doo-op sound. 💗 he plays a lot of tribute to it in his videos too.
not only is this such a great song, but it's great advice too! people in the comments seem to be talking about love confessions, whereas i feel this song is more about how communication is vital when you're in a relationship! it can be easy to let your insecurities get the better of you which your partner might see as distance between you, so instead of putting on a poker face, just be honest and open with your feelings, and your partner will be happy to hear it! 💕
I listened to this song a lot after my Grandmother died. I felt like I never really told her how much I loved her. I hope she knew. Always tell everyone how you feel about them, tomorrow isn't always promised.
A great song with a fabulous message. All too many guys get this idea that we gals can read their minds and never think to just sit down and stay up till two am talking to us about where ever the mood takes us. Flip side, gals... it's not easy, but you can't keep everything to yourselves either.
I remember over night stocking stuff at wallsmart 😆 and singing this song saying tell him about it thinking of Yeshua as I was singing this fun times praise Yeshua forever and ever 🎉🥳
0:56 can't ever be bad when Rodney Dangerfield gives it the A-O-K. Awesome song, awesome album, 1983 was THE YEAR for music, I was a little kid then, but I have so many memories of Billy Joels songs from this album.
Chartoise Pretty much the same as saying "We are just good enough to be in your budget but are just bad enough to not exceed it" Which is possibly the best way to get gigs.
@@eddsolis8382 Can't say I blame them, comparing real music from 30-50 years ago to the (C)rap that shoved up peoples' a.ses these days. Why would MTV want to feature such junk? No one would watch.
Shout out to everyone whose significant other never appreciated you, despite how much you loved them, despite how much you showed it. Y’all deserve the world.
Billy Joel ,kudos for making a awesome song 🎵, about staying in a healthy relationship and how to keep it going strong, cause he learned from his mistakes 🎉🎉
I just can't imagine the amount of work, search for talent, production, writing, over and over,thought, imagination,planning, etc.etc. this must have taken to give us this excellent video.... thank you Billy, there is nothing like it today, thank you for taking the time to do it yesterday , so we have it forever...
Billy Joel is the only musician in the world that can appear singing right in front of you delivering your pizza while he sings live on tv. Because he's billy Joel that's why XD
So, I'm falling head over heels for this one girl and I'm really confused. So UA-cam reads my inner thoughts and says I should listen to this song. I now know what to do
I love the crowd. No photo takings. No selfies with the singer on stage. So passionate, present and attentive with what's going on at the moment. If I were a performer I would be happy to see such reactions.
@Sharon Jensen Well, not really? People were in the moment, but only because of the lack of technological advancement of the time. There was all sorts of fear because people were becoming addicted to television and not going out nearly as much, TV dinners started being a thing (as we see).
Yeah i like the sentiment but if you cant tell that this was a staged crowd in this music video, please like get your prescription glasses renewed or somethin
This song has been a part of my life ever since I was 8 years old. Waiting in line in 1983 for the Washington state ferry between anacortes and Orcas Island listening between Biily and Barbara Streisand getting out the travel monopoly and the cribbage board. Thank you Billy! My dad was amazed by your Elton and Billy show. Love this man!
I was on the " Art Linkletter Show" when I was 4 or 5 in preschool and he asked each of the 4 or 5 of us selected to go to the show as guests, and I am so old I can't remember quite how many of us their were, since this was like 1964 or 65, at the CBS studios in Studio City, CA and these are the exact cameras they used. I will never forget it since Art asked us individually to tell him a secret. I blew my moms doors off when I announced to the world that she was pregnant with a little boy and I wanted to name him Kevin. I looked right in that camera. I wanted a baby brother being an only child. She was NOT pregnant and I was in so much trouble. I felt terrible once I was old enough to understand, as she was divorced, but this just such a great song, and the video brought that all back- thank you Billy!
I love his music in general... His voice and ability to play some amazing instruments make Billy Joel an unprecedented success. Her energy, stage presence and sensuality are contagious!!! 🎶🎶🎹🥰
I was in my second or third year in high school! The song brings back very good memories of being a teenager! Thanks for posting here, guy! Take care and Be safe!
Even though this reached # ! on the Billboard charts, listeners and radio stations, for whatever reason, have forgotten this good ol' good one, by Billy Joel.
seems billy has forgotten about it too. he has not done it live since 1987. It is probably his biggest hit that he does not include regularly in concert
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ O God and Heavenly Father, Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Aaaaah, this song gives me 1950s-1960s vibes. Has a very 1950s-1960s rock and roll feel to it, a great song. Mr Joel is one songwriting genius. Thank you for your musical brilliance, Mr Joel.
@@tvmonte, well, Billy captured the 1950s-1960s well in this song. He's one brilliant musician. That Ed Sullivan impersonator sounds so much like the real Ed Sullivan and Billy gives off Elvis Presley vibes here.
The impeccable Ed Sullivan impression was done by comedian and impressionist Will Jordan, who also played Sullivan in Bob Zemeckis' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," "The Buddy Holly Story", and Oliver Stone's "The Doors".
And about three tracks later he's telling us to 'Leave a tender moment alone' - both beautiful, magic songs, and both the right thing to do about half the time each
So around his time of year. My family would all come together to celebrate the holidays. However a couple years back my two older sister had other plans and that REALLY upsets my mother. She crying and being really sad about it. My solution? I asked Alexa to play Billy and by convenience songs like “My life” “movin’ our” “You May be right” and “tell her about it”. All songs about living life how you want to live or telling someone something important, which made my mom realize my sisters are adults and they can do what they want. My mom felt alone but she wasn’t I reminded her she had me. So thank you Billy. For helping my mom realize she wasn’t alone for the holidays.
Well done! Billy could cheer her up, of course he could! 😁 And even being alone at the end of December is not so bad - I speak from experience for several years.
amazing talents BJ all songs are different.. the beat.. the rhythm and Amazing CHORDS NOT PICNIC.. LYRICS ARE BEYOND BELIEF... HIS VOICE KEEPS CHANGING TO ALL THE SONGS.. CLASSICAL INFLUENCE INCREDIBLE..
The first person he could ever just talk to, and they would spent hours just talking about anything and everything and all the things they have in commen - this was the basis for "Tell Her About It." It's simply about an "a-ha" moment for Joel when he realized that you could actually have a soul mate. I love the song meaning for this its reassurance in solid form - from the mind body heart & soul ♡
One of my co-workers asked me who my favorite musician was....I told her that if I had to just choose one, it would be Billy Joel. She gave me this shocked look, told me that was good lol She started talking to me about how most people my age(20) usually wouldn't get into Billy Joel. Unfortunately I have to agree with her, but I love looking through the comments and seeing the younger people enjoying it along with the ones who get nostalgia from it :) It makes me happy.
I don't by any means believe let alone even think that I can both neither argue nor fail to agree with the message of this great song - Mr.Billy Joel definitely can not only entertain the listener but furthermore even educated him or her with his wisdom and intelligence;BJ's music is very great because of his gift as such a powerfully and wonderful musician His career legacy as a exstreamly smart music man is forever legendary.I think perfect in this so much that no one can quarrel with it fans and expert credics alike.
Listen boy I don't want to see you let a good thing Slip away You know I don't like watching Anybody make the same mistakes I made She's a real nice girl And she's always there for you But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do Listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all Under control You don't want somebody telling you The way to stay in someone's soul You're a big boy now You'll never let her go But that's just the kind of thing She ought to know Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason to accept That you're for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her Let her know how much she means Listen boy It's not automatically a certain guarantee To insure yourself You've got to provide communication constantly When you love someone You're always insecure And there's only one good way To reassure Tell her about it Let her know how much you care When she can't be with you Tell her you wish you were there Tell her about it Every day before you leave Pay her some attention Give her something to believe 'Cause now and then She'll get to worrying Just because you haven't spoken For so long Though you may not have done anything Will that be a consolation when she's gone Listen boy It's good information from a man Who's made mistakes Just a word or two that she gets from you Could be the difference that it makes She's a trusting soul She's put her trust in you But a girl like that won't tell you What you should do Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason To accept that you're for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her Let her know how much she means Tell her about it Tell her how you feel right now Tell her about it The girl don't want to wait too long You got to tell her about it Tell her now and you won't go wrong You got to tell her about it Before it gets too late You got to tell her about it You know the girl don't want To wait, you got to Tell her about it
Mannn Billy really hit it out of the park with this gem of a song ! The lyrics are totally on point and might i say greatly needed in these turbulent times ! Thanks so much Mr. Joel !
I miss music when it was this innocent and carefree. Fun tunes, catchy beats and meaningful lyrics. No sex, drugs, over-sexualized dancers, and people of different ethnicities dancing together. Times were much simpler back then.
Billy this song saved probably the best relationship I was ever in. These a golden wise words! Fuck being a tough guy, that doesn't work shit. Be vulnerable towards the woman you love and you'll get everything in return!
🌸 "Tell Her About It" Listen boy Don't want to see you let a good thing Slip away You know I don't like watching Anybody make the same mistakes I made She's a real nice girl And she's always there for you But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do Listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all Under control You don't want somebody telling you The way to stay in someone's soul You're a big boy now You'll never let her go But that's just the kind of thing She ought to know Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason to accept That you're for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her Let her know how much she means Listen boy It's not automatically a certain guarantee To insure yourself You've got to provide communication constantly When you love someone You're always insecure And there's only one good way To reassure Tell her about it Let her know how much you care When she can't be with you Tell her you wish you were there Tell her about it Every day before you leave Pay her some attention Give her something to believe Cause now and then She'll get to worrying Just because you haven't spoken For so long Though you may not have done anything Will that be a consolation when she's gone Listen boy It's good information from a man Who's made mistakes Just a word or two that she gets from you Could be the difference that it makes She's a trusting soul She's put her trust in you But a girl like that won't tell you What you should do Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason To accept that you're for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her Let her know how much she means Tell her about it Tell her how you feel right now Tell her about it The girl don't want to wait too long You got to tell her about it Tell her now and you won't go wrong You got to tell her about it Before it gets too late You got to tell her about it You know the girl don't want To wait - you got to Tell her about it
My dad bought this album "An innocent man" for me.. I always thanks to my dad such a great songs i can listen...especially this song would make feel good..
...and they say Elvis is the king of rock. All of Billy Joel's songs are classics that sticks to your mind and always seem to make your day whenever you hear or think about any of them. edit: Had to mention how beautiful some of the women in this clip are.
Video really helped to push Billy's career to the level it deserves...It's amazing, to see he's still touring...I didn't appreciate him in the 70's...He was kind of bubblegum to a prog head like me. But; I get a lump in my throat, quite often on many of his songs now...
![Billy Joel: Tell Her About It - LIVE [HQ STEREO MIX]](/img/n.gif)
Billy Joel advocating for healthy communication in relationships back in the 80s. Wholesome stuff.
yes it's a timeless message
This song was from back in the 1960's!
@@ronalddykeman9427 even better

Congradulations!
"And though you may not have done anything; will that be a consolation when she's gone?" One of the best lines he ever wrote.
This is an excellent line, but personally I like a line from 'Keeping the Faith' a bit more. "You know the good old days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems." That is one of my guiding principles in life
@@radiodude1976 Agreed. That is a good one too.
Both lines are wonderful in their own way
That's "heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack"
Line was pretty good too
In that song, maybe...Nearly every Billy sentence is profound...
Not just a song, a message.
True.
Where is he?
Correct❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Yeah a real girl don't tell you what to do.
He's completely conservative love it.
@@yowten8994It Might Be The Difference That It Makes
Billy Joel is a legend, pure and simple.
R.I.P. Rodney Dangerfield. A true legend, so cool they had him in this music video.
Rodney dangerfield great actor love back to school movie
He was in Lionel Ritchie's Dancing on the Celing video too.
@@yongchen4158 me too! my favorite movie of his
@@itsjemmabond really? thats awesome! pretty good song also
So sad he was very depressed, and lonely in the end rest in peace.
An Innocent Man...STILL a badass album after 30+ years. Is there anything Billy Joel can't pull off musically, really? Love it. 😀
metal, probably
Lyrics in French.
@@Johnny96ri LOL!
@2v_5r He didn’t pull that one off.
Soprano notes because he’s a dude
WE need...I need all Billy Joels videos remastered in HD 4K. It's about time for a remaster. COME ON!!! - Toronto, Canada.
Unforgettable Bill Joel. Incredible song, amazing album....1983 brings back so many memories with Billy's songs
He's teaching the New Generation how to be a Real Man !
Lov u Bill .
I've just realised how many songs Billy Joel actually sings that I didn't know were his
Same thing happened to me when I started listening to him.
For the longest time I thought "For the Longest Time" was by some 1950s doo-wop group. Joel is one of the most versatile songwriters in R&R history.
And the first time I heard It's Still Rock and Roll to Me I thought for sure it was a black guy singing it.
I've known It's Still Rock and Roll to Me for some twenty years. I found out it was by Billy yesterday. (Is that for the longest time? ;)) I haven't even checked the collection I have to see if they have his version or some cover (it's some cheap 50s and 60s collection).
i thought “don’t ask me why” was paul mccartney when i first heard it on the radio
Billy is really good at breaking into people's houses
😂
That sounds like something from the onion. "Billy Joel's Hit Song 'Tell Her About It' Used To Justify Breaking And Entering Charge."
This and in we didn’t start the fire
I don't believe in Santa Claus, I believe in Billy Joel lol 🤣
He used the good ol’ “just delivering pizza trick.”
I never tire of this song. It's so beautiful and catchy as.
ikr. i even like how it looks like he's on da ed sullivan show
It sure is...Tell her about it!!!
Still as catchy as ever
Thank you so much for following & supporting my music 💕. Seriously, you are super appreciated. Do you usually listen with Apple Music or Spotify?
@@billyjoeljoel4023 Yō a wish version of him
Another favorite song by Billy Joel. He's incredibly talented.
Mine too! Even though I was feeling sad some minutes ago, this totally brings me into a new mood!
Brings back the time when life was easy and music was pure joy!!! 🌞❤🌞
100% 😃😎
@Joel Billy huh?
Life was easy? lol
Now that's good song writing.
eatprayloveify tttt
Agree....
i know right
I haven't heard any bad ones from him.
It is good writing although Billy himself doesn't seem to like this song.
As a kid in the 80s I always loved how BILLY Joel had a lot of songs with that 50's 60's doo-op sound. 💗 he plays a lot of tribute to it in his videos too.
The trio of guys backing B.J.are fine and fabulous.They enhance Tell Her About It with utmost special finesse.
not only is this such a great song, but it's great advice too! people in the comments seem to be talking about love confessions, whereas i feel this song is more about how communication is vital when you're in a relationship! it can be easy to let your insecurities get the better of you which your partner might see as distance between you, so instead of putting on a poker face, just be honest and open with your feelings, and your partner will be happy to hear it! 💕
I Love This Song On WCBS FM 101.1 On The Radio In 1999
"to insure yourself, you've got to provide communication constantly" I love this language, it has a way with words...........just love it.........
And now a word from our sponsors.
...I'm 14, and LOVE Billy Joel. An idol for any Long Islander, as well as everybody in general
How's life going all these years later bro?
yo
22 now then still love bj
how do you feel about billy joel now taht you're 22?
Woah I'm 14 right now and I'm a big fan too

А у нас был СССР и эти песни мы услышали позже и до сих пор нравится, Билли Джоел спел с душой по этому его песни ещё будут пополярны 🙂
Rodney Dangerfield. Now that sounds fun!
he is doing the 666

The moment we realize that Billy Joel is some kind of god.
"I tell ya, I get no respect!" Haha, Love Rodney's cameo in this! Billy's always been more than happy to share the spotlight, what a wonderful man! 💝
One of the first video's I recall seeing on MTV... back when MTV actually was about music.

I now know what to do
you see, girls arent all that complicated
Tell her about it!!!
StrangerThanFiction DizzyTV Greg Lebowski Imma do it today!!
And then just ask her to tell you everything and listen when she does it. You're home free.
Music is funny that way. I swear my Pandora account is some sort of an emphatic pre-cog.
Billy Joel is so underrated. I saw him in concert last month. He was still awesome.
Hes in the top 10 most US albums sold. Beating MJ, thats not underated....
@@JamesHussain82 Jackson has sold more records in the US than Joel & almost 3 times as many as him worldwide.
Truly amazing just how many ‘great’ songs Billy Joel has written.
I told her about it yesterday. And things are looking pretty good so far. Wish me luck!
The entire An Innocent Man album is brilliant.....I think it's my favorite album of his and I love all of his albums.
Billy Joel the legend is gona tell her about it on my round today- total classic song 🎵

The song is a tribute to the Motown sound.
With the Mitus touch,Joel takes to recording and preforming Very great music even better than a duck takes to water.
The first person he could ever just talk to, and they would spent hours just talking about anything and everything and all the things they have in commen - this was the basis for "Tell Her About It." It's simply about an "a-ha" moment for Joel when he realized that you could actually have a soul mate.
I love the song meaning for this its reassurance in solid form - from the mind body heart & soul ♡
I wish I paid attention to this song long ago and understood. I just really liked this song. I'm listening now Billy!
One of my co-workers asked me who my favorite musician was....I told her that if I had to just choose one, it would be Billy Joel. She gave me this shocked look, told me that was good lol She started talking to me about how most people my age(20) usually wouldn't get into Billy Joel. Unfortunately I have to agree with her, but I love looking through the comments and seeing the younger people enjoying it along with the ones who get nostalgia from it :) It makes me happy.
Im 20 now and i'm in the exact same spot you were in, friend.
Thank you Billy - I just told her her...and we are together now :D
omg B.J MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY WITH LOVE! HOPE U ARE HAPPY WITH HER!
Wow usually it backfires so well done and congrats on having the stones to go for it
I feel happy for you, it didn't work for me :/
good on you mate

A feel-good Motown song released in 1983. Epic.
I don't by any means believe let alone even think that I can both neither argue nor fail to agree with the message of this great song - Mr.Billy Joel definitely can not only entertain the listener but furthermore even educated him or her with his wisdom and intelligence;BJ's music is very great because of his gift as such a powerfully and wonderful musician His career legacy as a exstreamly smart music man is forever legendary.I think perfect in this so much that no one can quarrel with it fans and expert credics alike.
Listen boy
I don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away
You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made
She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure
Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe
'Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait, you got to
Tell her about it
What's up Dude G

This is basically a guide on how to confess to your crush. Phenomenal
Mannn Billy really hit it out of the park with this gem of a song ! The lyrics are totally on point and might i say greatly needed in these turbulent times ! Thanks so much Mr. Joel !
Esta canción me ayudó a declararle mis sentimientos a mi crush
Entonces gracias Billy Joel
I miss music when it was this innocent and carefree. Fun tunes, catchy beats and meaningful lyrics. No sex, drugs, over-sexualized dancers, and people of different ethnicities dancing together. Times were much simpler back then.
Billy this song saved probably the best relationship I was ever in. These a golden wise words! Fuck being a tough guy, that doesn't work shit. Be vulnerable towards the woman you love and you'll get everything in return!
Everyone remembers 'Uptown Girl' but it was this song that actually went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100!
One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Real, honest words
I feel like this song is talking directly to me

My dad bought this album "An innocent man" for me..
I always thanks to my dad such a great songs i can listen...especially this song would make feel good..
...and they say Elvis is the king of rock. All of Billy Joel's songs are classics that sticks to your mind and always seem to make your day whenever you hear or think about any of them.
edit: Had to mention how beautiful some of the women in this clip are.
Un excelente músico!!! Uno de los mejores,aún no se le rinden los homenajes q merece.
💯💥
Classic 80s videos that can't be made the same again.
Great song has a lot of meaning if you just sit and listen to it.
Thanks Joel, for being in so much control.
Video really helped to push Billy's career to the level it deserves...It's amazing, to see he's still touring...I didn't appreciate him in the 70's...He was kind of bubblegum to a prog head like me. But; I get a lump in my throat, quite often on many of his songs now...
