Holly Dolly Track 16 - She's Right On Time

Well, here we are on the official last day of Xmas, and only 3 songs left on our countdown. Billy Joel's "She's Right On Time" never struck me as a Xmas song - or the kind that would have been considered for MTV - but in the late '90s, Columbia reissued all of his old albums with bonus CD-ROM content, which included the original 1982 video for this track. Indeed, there's Bill, struggling with his Xmas tree.

Listening to the lyrics, there's no denying that they paints very colorful holiday pastiche. Billy's stressed out and decorating, and his girl is coming home... but she's running a bit late. That's a situation I can relate to. My daughter was due to be born yesterday - and we're still waiting. Looks like she takes after her mother...
