"The Stranger" by Billy Joel

Absolutely unbelievable that we haven't posted this song before.  We have considered this our favorite Billy Joel song since it came out.  We still remember hearing this song on then radio while driving to Sperry Univac.

We were describing 2017 to someone this morning, as being hit by a the stream from a fire hose.  We have been envisioning that scene, over and over in our mind since then.  So I thought I would post a song somehow related to standing in the gush from a fire hose.  I thought about a song about being on fire but we've already posted all of the songs like "I'm On Fire", that I can think of.

"We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel popped into my head, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for.  But then I realized we have never posted this song and I just couldn't resist, considering the topic of this song.  :)
