The uptown girl dressed up with fabulous accessories while riding an expensive car with driver showed a nonchalant attitude despite of his efforts but started to dance with him and left riding on his motorcycle in the end. In fact, Billy Joel who appeared in his music video played a car mechanic in a sloppy uniform and went sweet hearting to an uptown girl who visited the garage with humorous, exaggerated gesture and dance. (for reference: But maybe someday when my ship comes in).
On the contrary, a man who is singing this song seems to be tough and manly but his personality isn’t given that the lyric “She’ll see I’m not so tough.” Even though he does not have enough money and can’t buy expensive gift for her now (look at lyric for reference: You know I can’t afford to buy her pearls), he described as a poor man expecting that he will make it big someday. In addition, she is described in this lyric as a girl who is bored with high class toy and presents given by men living in uptown world. When you see the lyric, the girl loved by a downtown man has lived in uptown world and never met bum in back streets. As mentioned above, ‘Uptown girl’ performed by Billy Joel is more positive and upbeat song with a lyric that a poor man living in a downtown makes persistent efforts to win her heart. In Korea, a song ‘uptown girl’ became widely known since boy group Westlife did a cover version of this song in 2000 and in fact, this song was from ‘An Innocent Man’ in the 9th studio album of Billy Joel in 1983. On the contrary, a song ‘Uptown girl’ what I’m going to talk about performed by Billy Joel is more positive and upbeat song with a lyric that a poor man living in a downtown try to romance her.
A song ‘My Heart Will Go On’ by Celine Dion, which is well known for Titanic OST was about the tragedy of lost loves in the face of death and different social status.

I saw these love stories in reality or soap opera or movie as a poor man or woman decided to marry someone under cold, calculating affairs, with purpose of rise of social status, but sometimes they fell in love by accident but struggled for the difference family in terms of wealth and social status. The love between a man and woman with different social status often made sad stories.

With the meeting and love between a poor painter, Jack Dawson portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and a daughter Rose belonging to the upper class in the United States portrayed by Kate Winslet as well as parting scene full of pitiful tears and its OST ‘My Heart Will Go On’ sung by Celine Dion still remained in our mind and touches our heart quietly yet so deeply. In this movie, people used to shed tears while watching sadder sorrowful love between a man and woman who love each other despite of different social origin. It had sold over 1.06 million copies by 2017.Have you ever heard the movie called ‘Titanic’ which was released in 1997?
