“I’ll bet she knows Billy Joel ’cause you played her ‘Uptown Girl,'” Rodrigo says, referring to Joel’s 1983 hit. and “Play her piano, but she has no idea that I taught you Billy Joel.”

The single “Uptown Girl,” released on November 12, 1983, and featuring a music video starring Christie Brinkley, the singer’s wife from 1985 to 1994, spent five weeks at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
