Does anyone know why there's a version of this song missing the entire "don't go trying some new fashion.." part? i was listenng to it in the car the other day and i noticed that the entire part is missing. the runtime in only 3:36. anyone know what the deal with that is?

God I hate showing my age. When it was released in the 70s people still listened to AM radio stations like WABC, WNBC, etc. in NY . There was an "AM radio" version that cut the song down to 3 to 3.5 minutes - the max you heard on those stations. That's the version you are referring to, The FM version was the whole song as recorded on Billy Joel's multi Platinum 1977 Album "The Stranger". In fact, they were called "album cuts".

It was this song (which won a Grammy) and that Album that put Billy Joel over the top into super stardom.
