Early 80s, college, popular fraternity used to have monthly keg parties. Nice guys, everyone went. One of the members would DJ. When it was time to close down the party, house lights would go down (just night lights on in each room) and he would play American Pie. Everyone sang along as they walked slowly out of the house, then sang the final verse standing on the lawn/porch. It was so awesome.

I sang it in a county jail common room with 30 other guys. The guard that night was a former Texas Ranger. He came in and told us to quiet down. I said, "Sir, we're sorry.

There is a big summer festival every year in my hometown. My parents hosted a huge gathering of family and friends every summer and this year was bittersweet because my mom passed in January and dad in 2019 so it looked like the last year for it and the house may be sold by next year.

I had to leave before things fully wound down because I was wiped out but I have a video I will treasure forever, of everyone, from the octogenarians down to the youngest kids, all swaying with arms around each other singing along to “Piano Man” at the top of their lungs.

I saw Pink this past year, mind you a good chunk there was GenX and millennials. She had some DJ opening for her playing his mix and everyone was meh, waiting for Pink. Then he started doing an 80s mix, slightly more than meh interest. But when the cut of Living on a Prayer came on the entire arena lit up and the entire place started singing in unison. He went on to the next cut and the entire arena just kept singing living on a prayer

Triggered a memory…

I was working in Detroit around the time Sheryl Crow’s Tuesday Night Music Club album came out. I was out to eat late one night with my boss at one of those diner joints - the kind with mini jukeboxes at each booth. I ordered up “All I Wanna Do” on the jukebox. After it started playing, by boss motioned for me to look behind me. I turned around to see pretty much everyone else in the joint up dancing. It was a pretty cool moment.

Mony Mony. Saw Billy perform it last night in concert in Milwaukee. Even if people dont sing along with all the words, they always sing that one part, and have been as long as I can remember.

Love The Femmes mentioned. I've lived in WI my whole life and they are my favorite band. Oh, just so happens I have tix to see them in October and they're performing their first two albums. There will be singing along.

Desperado was stupidly popular in 1991 in Minnesota. Personally, I hate the song. But, everyone but me knew it and sang along.

I was at a bar once and Piano Man came on the jukebox and everybody sang along, it was one of those spontaneous moments of community that happens once in a while but make life seem sort of cool. My best friend of 35 years was with me and once in a while we will bring it up to each other. She told me once that’s one of best times ever in her life and I almost cried. I’ll never forget that night, thanks, Billy Joel.

This is true. Add It Up, Blister in the Sun… and they were eternal. I was in college in the 90s and we were still singing those like they had just dropped.

They are all on my regular playlists and I still have a weird, unhealthy love for Country Death Song.

I was in high school in Wisconsin when they had just dropped. So much fun shouting along at the school dances.

Yeah, I was in college in the early 90’s. I saw The Femmes a few times. Those were such great years. I miss being young so much.
