Why yes it is some good irony, Billy Joel! It certainly is!
irony:
- sarcasm: witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own"--Jonathan Swift
- incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs; "the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated"
- a trope that involves incongruity between what is expected and what occurs
