Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) - 1977
" Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) " is a song written and recorded by Billy Joel , featured on his 1977 album The Stranger as the opening track.
The song critiques the ambitions of working- and lower-middle-class New Yorkers who strive for material success as evidence of social mobility, working long hours to afford the outward signs of having "made it…" According to Joel, Anthony is not a real person, but rather "every Irish, Polish, and Italian kid trying to make a living in the US."
The recording concludes with the sound effect of a car, bass player Doug Stegmeyer 's 1960s Corvette , starting and driving away, symbolizing departure.
Live performances of the song can be heard on 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert and 12 Gardens Live .
