How much is "a buck three-eighty?" And who would ever say that? (I mean, Billy Joel, obviously.) A buck is a $1.00. Three-eighty is $3.80. So is that a roundabout way of saying $4.80? I'm so confused. (I assume he just liked the sound and rhythm of the words.)

I'm so confused. (I assume he just liked the sound and rhythm of the words.) I was just glad to have found three-eighty -- I'd almost given up in despair! But it is a little odd, now you mention it. So, I looked around... www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=buck%20three%20eighty

Bizarre! It still doesn't make any actual sense, but I suppose that's slang for you. (My spectrumish brain tends to hate slang for that very reason ... at least until I use it!)
I've never heard that one, though. Obviously. Though if Billy Joel was saying it in 1980, it may well be both before my time and an East Coast thing.
