Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel

One of my oldest personal favorites from the ubiquitous Billy Joel, and a much more welcome mental soundtrack song than any number of his irritating radio hits (I won't link any examples here, 'cause they're bound to wind up in my head sooner or later anyway.) I love this song because it's one of a handful (along with Allentown from the same album) that reach outside the scope of the commercially-friendly songs about love and simple nostalgia he's famous for.
