Christie Brinkley is still dancing to Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl.”

TFD – Delve into the captivating story behind Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” and its connection to Christie Brinkley. Learn about the song’s evolution and the viral video that showcases Brinkley’s timeless association with this iconic tune.

While Billy Joel may not have written his 1983 hit “Uptown Girl” about his ex-wife Christie Brinkley, she’s the woman most associated with the tune.

For this reason, a video of Brinkley dancing to the song at the piano man’s current performance has gone viral on the internet.

Joel,74, performs in the Tik Tok video, which features the now 70-year-old former model smiling broadly while swaying to the music.

Two years prior to her marriage to Joel in 1985—the year they welcomed their daughter Alexa Ray Joel—Brinkley participated in the song’s music video. In 1994, Brinkley and Joel were divorced.

Model Elle Macpherson revealed in 2018 that she had been dating Joel when he was writing the song, but they had broken up in the middle, during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

Macpherson said she believed the song was about “all the uptown girls” given the singer’s penchant for “tall girls.”

In 2014’s “Billy Joel: The Definitive Biography,” Joel seemed to confirm this, revealing that the original title, “Uptown Girls,” had been a plural but that he changed it to a singular after falling in love with Brinkley.
