Today's Song of the Day is...
Billy Joel - Only the Good Die Young
Great song, and on the one hand, it's easy to see why it was so popular, given that it's catchy as hell and just a fun tune, but on the other hand, the lyrics were accused of being anti-Catholic/pro-premarital sex, which could have worked against it, but as often happens, the minor controversy and calls for radio stations to ban it only helped it and make it more popular. Heck, my mom, who has been a strict Catholic her whole life, knows what the lyrics are about, yet has always loved the song to pieces. Just goes to show you the power of a catchy hook.
