This boy just wants to have fun, & he has a crush on this girl, & he's saying she should just loosen up a little. It doesnt not have to be about sex. He's saying he cares for her, & though their families are different, she should give him a chance because he may be the best thing that ever happened to her. & i agree with every word theyre saying. kenny | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/4/2007 I this one of my favorite songs, and I think it should be enjoyed for what it is, and not what it can be Interpreted as. it's just a fun song to listed to and enjoy. SEX | Reviewer: Julia | 10/28/2007 This song is CLEARLY about a horny high school boy. Applying in-depth symbolism to a song can make it mean anything! The song is talking about a guy trying to convince a catholic girl to give up her morals and do him. Simple. End of story. Make Love not War | Reviewer: voodoochyld28 | 10/28/2007 My first impress of this song is very similar to Dalton's. It is about a Jewish high school kid trying to convince a Catholic school girl to have pre-marital sex. There are several references to catholic teachings. The line "I run with a dangerous crowd...We might be laughing a bit too loud...but that never hurt no one" is a reference to smoking pot. So basically the Jewish boy is getting all hot from the Catholic school girl's uniform, so he tries to get her to smoke pot and have sex. Trust me I know where he's coming from. The line "Only the good die young" may be a reference to abortion, or living dangerously without consequences. War? | Reviewer: Q | 10/7/2007 Billy joel wrote quite a few songs about war, but this isnt one of them. I could see it being considered anti-war, but then again it could just as easily be about global warming. Looking too hard into things can be just as ignorant as not looking hard enough. are you serious? | Reviewer: rob | 10/4/2007 lyra- are you kidding me? "If you set out to find an allegory, you ALWAYS will". do you really think that billy joel is such an idiot that he wouldnt think to express his view on the war in this music. a little ignorant if you ask me. ...dun dun dun | Reviewer: Lyra | 9/20/2007 I think people are reading too much into this. If you set out to find an allegory, you ALWAYS will. It sounds like its about sex... ... ... so it's probably about sex. Not necessarily in high school, but that's not really the point. you shouldn't assume that anyone who is a virgin is in high school. But, sure, it COULD all be about war. If thats what you want it to be about. It could be about almost anything. But none of this is really the point. It is a song, the music is its poetry. I think that, and the feeling you get hearing it, is more important than the lyrics. Nope | Reviewer: Richard | 9/19/2007 I think the lyrics mean just what they say. Only the good die young. The best of this race seems to die early on. And as for one of the apparently more controversial lines whereby he'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, well really for some of us, we just would rather spend our lives smiling. Oh. And catholic girls do start much too late. ... | Reviewer: Kayla | 8/24/2007 for the most part i dont take this song all that seriously..but id like to know if anyone ever heard that whole idea about war and stuff. i dont know..maybe the teacher was just trying to get the class to open their minds but id like some feedback Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | | | |||||||||
