| Billy Joel – The Entertainer Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This verse is just the best: I am the entertainer, I've come to do my show
You've heard my latest record, it's been on the radio
It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song but it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05
I was so surprised when I was singing along with "Piano Man" on the radio when I began singing a verse and a different one was being played. My parents explained to me that songs that are too long are cut short, and I thought that was insane. |

One of my best guy friends had a crush on one my my best girl friends, all the advice I gave him came from this song.
And about the music video, does anyone know what it says at the bottom of the screen at the end, when it shows some Russian guy dancing to the song? |

About a woman who can take advantage of a man, and he doesn't care. There are more songs about this sort of thing by Billy...wonder why. |

It's about phone sex. Very simple and easy to understand. The music video is great; Billy's in a dirty motel room, and the girl he calls is in a bright white house, wearing some sorta white silk thing...and at first she's like 'Ugh what a loser', and she ends up giving in to him. |

The first time I heard this song, I thought it was incredibly stupid, because I would have never let myself end up like this. About a year later, I heard it again, and it felt like I had written the lyrics myself. Strange how your thoughts can change about somethin, eh? |

I love this song, and the entire River of Dreams album. It helped me realize how arrogant I was, and that I didn't know as much about my world as I thought I knew. The CD was one of the things that formed me into what I am today (hopefully a better person). Kudos, Billy. |

Has anyone seen the music video for this song? It's really weird...I heard he wrote this song after he got into a car accident, and he was kinda messed up at the time... |

I love this song; a couple of years ago, I would play it whenever my parents pissed me off. I always thought it was about adults or authority figures trying to run your life for you, and you just want them to go away so you can do what you want. |

Weird Al wrote a parody to this song called "It's Still Billy Joel To Me", but Billy Joel and Christee Brinkley (who were together at the time) hated it, and it was never released on cd...but anyway, I love this song |

This was the first song I really fell in love with, and learned the lyrics to. I was about 3 years old, and I think back then I knew what the song meant. Something like finding love after being alone for a long time... |

I rewrote this song once so the lyrics were "Angry Young Sam" cuz I figured it might as well just say my name, it described me so well... |

What, nobody's commented to this song yet? It's my favorite song from the River of Dreams CD...
I suppose the meaning is about feeling bad is something we all go through, but it'll go away soon (but I'm not sure, really...) |
