[Wikipedia]
"Sometimes a Fantasy" is a song by Billy Joel released as the last single from his album "Glass Houses". The single peaked at #36 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The song is a "melodic, fast paced rocker." It starts with Joel dialing a number on a telephone (which he is depicted doing on the single cover). The lyrics are about a sexually frustrated man who tries to convince his significant other to have phone sex. He explains that he is lonely since they are far away from each other (which is implied by the fact that his phone call is "long distance").
