(Myrtle Beach, SC) -- A Billy Joel song helped to identify a lost bird in South Carolina.

A Myrtle Beach woman lost her pet cockatiel named "Joel" when he flew out her home door.

She posted lost bird flyers saying "Joel" also liked "Uptown Girl" by the music superstar.

Meantime, an employee at a local Ferris Wheel spotted the bird and got in touch with the woman after she played "Uptown Girl" and saw the bird bob its head up and down.
