Billy Joel stopped by to promote his new movie, “The Last Play at Shea,” but first Howard had a burning question. He wanted to know if the Piano Man’s chart-topper “Uptown Girl” was about his relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson or supermodel Christie Brinkley.

Billy said it was about both women. “That story’s been around since ‘Uptown Girl’ came out. They didn’t get the whole story. They got part of it,” he said. “I wasn’t even dating Christie when I started writing the song. I was dating Elle.”

Billy said the song was originally titled “Uptown Girls,” and was about multiple girls.

Howard wondered how serious Billy had been with Elle.

“We dated on and off. We weren’t like engaged or anything. We just kind of dated,” Billy said. “She was 19.”

Billy then played a little bit of “Uptown Girl.” “It’s supposed to sound like Frankie Valli but it doesn’t,” he laughed. “It’s too early in the morning.”
