This song makes me think. It's the type of song that makes you wish you could just go back to a time when you had less responsibility and back when people were healthier and things were less f'ed up. I'm only 15 so in my case it would be to go back to when I was a little kid.
He says "son can you play me a memory, i'm not really sure how it goes but its said and its sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger mans clothes
@afroebob get a life. and shut ur fat face. ur prob. one of those kids that sits on the couch eating potato chips and commenting on EVERYTHING! I wouldn't be surprised to hear i'm right....
@ebug411 actually, I'm not a fan of potato chips. They leave you hands all greasy and not to mention they are terrible for your health. Also, you really shouldn't get a mental disability from hearing a song, you might want to have your head checked out. Your parents should be able to afford the medicine, you would be surprised how affordable generic brands of medicine can be, I would know I was considering going to med school.
first day working at mc donalds and i had this song stuck in my head from 8 am to like noon and i would change the lyrics to relate to what i was doin was funny but kinda annoying lolz btw im 19 and long this song haha
When he says "regular crowd shuffles in", I know what he means but I like to imagine that there are a bunch of old guys shuffling (Shuffling, the dance) into a tavern. The image is pretty funny, considering that they'd be shuffling to is this, piano man.
@MagicMatchsticks007 i know right i'm an 8th grade teacher helper ifor a 6th grade class and they made a video for the morning show and the kids voted for that song to dance to well i died a little that day because that song is just stupid
I played this song freshman year over the class speakers and my teacher took me into the hall and said "Why shouldn't I write you up"? and I simply replied "Because you can't write up Billy Joel". She had nothing to say. BILLY JOEL WIN!!!!
Sigh... Every time I hear this song, and pay enough attention to mumble along with the lyrics, it always brings a tear to the eye. I love this song, and always come back to it, but damn if it can't completely swing your mood.
me and my friends started singing this in class and everyone else didnt know what we were doing. by the rules of high school we now have about 25 people we must destroy
I'm 17 and I love this song even though its not my era. I also Love Fur Elise even though it's defiantly not in my era, I even love all along the Watch Tower even if it isn't in my era. And do you know why because Music is AGELESS, I am so sick of idiots saying I love this song or that song and I'm only 14 or 13 get over yourself MUSIC is MUSIC.
Pete is a real-estate novelist... That's a cute way of saying Pete's broke. I'll laugh at his life, while I'm humping his wife, 'Cuz Pete's tiny schlong is a joke! My piano, it sounds like God's symphony, And my microphone smells like the poor. They put bread in my cup, and their lives all suck, If I quit this gig, they lose all interest in living, since life would have no meaning, And they would blow their brains out onto the floor! La, di, dee, da, la, Down on your knees, I'm the Piano God!
@castlebeckett41319 This song is simply amazing! I want to learn how to play the harmonica, just for this one song. I may not be the piano man, but it'll be the second best thing.
This dude came into subway today (I work at subway) and this song came on. He asked one of my co-workers who sang this as it played on the radio. He said he didnt know, but he bet i did. Well i guessed Elton John (I was obviously wrong), but the customer smiled and said, "Yes!" I then said "The harmonica isnt like Elton John tho... Sounds very Dylan-esque." The customer laughed at me and called me young and niave. Dumb ass, this song was obviously has Bob Dylan influences... Agree?
@36lovesick The fact that young people like us found it is great, and maybe we can share a bit of it with our modern music friends. I'm definitely sharing this with my kids too at one point.
@LTS1337 ugh ikr! my friend told me to shut this song off cause it was annoying her, and i told her to plug her ears then. i just love pissing people off with good music C:
@36lovesick I NO RITE!!!! no one even nos billy joel. they r 2 interested in "cool music" like Pumped Up Kicks. well they r gonna 4get about it in 6 months
Piano Man is an amazing song and Billy Joel is an amazing artist (I've been listening to his music as long as I can remember), but damned if Father Time hasn't done a number on him.
