Billy Joel, "All For Leyna"

Rocky Road

From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Hilarious. 45 years ago, Billy Joel came out with "All For Leyna." In this song, the protagonist has a one-night stand with a Leyna, and then gets desperate, trying to look for her again.

In the early 1990s, UC Santa Cruz's Bay Tree Bookstore used to be in the wooden building, which is now a Student Union. In my quad, but a different dorm building was a girl named Lena. I didn't see or interact with her that much. She said that her family traced back to Russia. But anyway, one day at the beginning of the quarter, Lena and I happened to be at the Baytree Bookstore. I asked her if she knew Billy Joel's "All For Leyna." She said no.

When we got back to the dorms, Lena asked around, and someone did have Billy Joel's Glass Houses, which had "All For Leyna," on cassette. Lena agreed that the lyrics were "hilarious!" Lena, who apparently did not have a boyfriend, laughed, "If I had a one-night stand, and ended up liking the guy, I better know where he lives!"
