Question

Most people think "Uptown Girl" is about Christie Brinkley, who appeared in the video and later married Billy Joel. But it was actually written about what other supermodel, whom Joel was dating when he wrote it?

Answer 1

'Uptown Girl' was written about supermodel Elle Macpherson, whom Billy Joel was dating at the time. It was not about Christie Brinkley, who appeared in the music video and later married Joel.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Uptown Girl' was written by Billy Joel about supermodel Elle Macpherson, not Christie Brinkley. During the time Joel wrote the song, he was dating Macpherson, which inspired him to write the lyrics.

Although Christie Brinkley appeared in the music video for 'Uptown Girl' and later married Joel, the song was not specifically about her.
