Billy Joel's 1977 opus "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" has received a new animated music video.

The video, created by Lightborne Communications, depicts the lyrics to "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" as pictures in a photo album. It begins, naturally, inside an Italian restaurant named Cacciatore's and then plots the relationship of the song's two protagonists, Brenda and Eddie.

Joel himself makes a few cameos in the animated video, appearing in a few framed photos on the wall of Cacciatore's. The video also contains references to Joel's other songs, such as a jazz club named Zanzibar, which served as the title of a song on 52nd Street.
