Alternate music video for Piano Man

September 7, 2024 10:30 AM

I remember seeing an alternate music video for ‘Piano Man’ by Billy Joel many years ago that I’ve never been able to find since (possibly decades ago). It was probably black and white. It is not the original 1973 video that’s easily findable on YouTube. The one clear moment I remember is during the line ‘I’m sure that I could be a movie star/If I could get out of this place’ the bartender turns around and looks at himself in the mirror and it was an older man who looked like Ernest Borgnine. Did this exist?

Best answer: Do you mean this one? I remember seeing it on MTV occasionally when I was a little kid.
