Billy, that kind of thing is why people kept yelling at you all night. Sing us a song tonight! But instead of doing so, you simply shouted their words back to them and added a line about how you were making them feel all right. Which you weren't.
You were making them mad. People aren't just in the mood for a melody, they're in the mood for a legitimate composition. They were annoyed, too, because the observations were cruel. Davy often discusses his plans for when he gets out of the Navy it's a steady paycheck but the rhyming-name thing annoys the hell out of him , but to hear you speculate that he would be there for life was a crushing blow.
Again, why the public humiliation? And our businessmen were irate about your description of them getting "stoned. Hint: One is acceptable businessman behavior, the other's illegal.
But even if you were to say they were getting drunk, that still would not be OK. As a matter of fact, just don't sing about the businessmen. They're nice guys and good tippers. I guess I do owe you some thanks, however, for singing about the drink called Loneliness. That's a terrible name for a drink. I'm renaming it Banana Mambo.
More festive. As to our waitress's efforts to get a graduate degree in political science or Paul's attempt at pioneering the literary genre of real-estate fiction, Jesus, Billy, leave them alone. Looking back on that Saturday night, I'm actually surprised that with all your observational nonsong music, you didn't notice the acrimony you were creating.
The smile faded from John the bartender's face, yes, but he wasn't giving you free drinks, he was throwing empty beer bottles at you. He wasn't playing jokes or lighting your smokes, either, he was literally trying to set you on fire.
The only thing you got right was having him say, "Bill, I believe this is killing me. But still you would not sing songs. I got so desperate I poured a beer on your microphone and shoved huge wads of bread in your tip jar, thinking it would get your attention.
But instead of stopping, you just sang it all back to me. I mean, I'm sorry I lost my cool and all, but Jesus, what is your problem, Billy?
So for next week: Please sing some actual songs. That's what you were hired to do. You're the fucking piano man. Anthony Cacciatore Shouldn't it be Anthony Leone, based on the mother's last name?
Cacciatore is the owner of a bar on Sullivan St. General Comment does anyone know what this song is really about? The piano is representing something bigger, called alcoholism, once you know, you can't not know, so look up what a friend of Bill's is.. General Comment One of the best impromptu sing-a-long songs of all times. You can play this on the jukebox all over this country, and chances are there will be many people singin along. General Comment This is a classic and will always be because it truly reflects life.
Walk into any bar and look around and you'll see the people dipicted here. The song is about more than the piano man. The piano man recognizes he is the same as everyone else in this bar - seeking fulfillment from a lonely life. That's the message of the last stanza, and that completes the song. I think there is solace here, in that everyone has unfulfilled talent, but we do the best with what we have and where we are, and you know, its not all that bad.
Billy Joel's finest song. Song Meaning The ultimate slow-it-down, grab a friend, and sway back and forth song. Whether it be in a bar or wherever. It's about the need for community and how colorful the world really is. If you read this go ask someone how their day is going. I know this doesn't directly paraphrase the lyrics but screw it get off the internet. Cracks me up how many people think the waitress is literally "practicing politics".
The song lyrics state "the waitress is practicing politics "AS" the business men slowly get stoned. Its obvious it would be impossible for a waitress to study politics as she working and serving customers.
It simply means that as these customers get stoned and lose control and start acting up and possibly start hitting on her she choose words and actions that don't offend her customers but at the same time lets them know just how far to take it and not to cross boundaries.
That's practicing politics! They feel lonely and hopeless. It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The Regular crowd shuffles in the regular crowd meaning the bar is full of the same people who find a get-away in the bar There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin the old man does not show many feelings of lonelyness, he is actually enojoying his drink.
He says the bar, or the bartender life, is killing him because it traps him instead of being an impulse to get out. The businessman, on the other hand, represents financial success, but he is consuming drugs. Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone They both share "a drink they call loneliness" because their lives, even though they are complete opposites, do not fulfill them, and they feel lonely. In addition, it is better to drink with a stranger than drinking alone.
Chorus Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you got us feeling alright Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife Paul spent his life worrying about his job and could never find stable love meaning a wife because he did not have time for both, and he chose his job.
He obviously feels lonely like the bartender, the waitress and the businessman. And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy And probably will be for life Davy is stuck in the Navy. His life is basically planned out and it is likely that he will not get out of it. And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?
He looks happy and looks like he is enjoying his life, they cannot understand how someone as succesful as him want to spend time in a depressing bar. Oh, la la la, di da da La la, di da da da dum Chorus: Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you got us feeling alright. I believe that the message in the song is about how life is contradicting.
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The Regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" As you can see, in the beginning of the song the old man asks for him to play him a melody because he wants to feel young again.
La la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Chorus: Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be He says, "bill, I believe this is killing me.
Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy And probably will be for life I believe that Paul, who did not have time for a wife can be gay, for he loves Davy.
But Davy is straight, so it is impossible for Paul to meet Davy. And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink made for loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone The waitress is practising politics because she wants to have a career in politics.
But it is so different with her job as a waitress, that it almost seems impossible. Chorus sing us a song you're the piano man sing us a song tonight well we're all in the mood for a melody and you got us feeling alright It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here.
Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Chorus: sing us a song you're the piano man sing us a song tonight well we're all in the mood for a melody and you got us feeling alright I think everyone can have a different message from this song.
I also believe that the song gives the message of depression in life, and how everyone is missing something for themselves to achieve true happiness. He wanted out of a bad contract so he went under ground till his time ran out. He looked around at all the people and things they said and did, then he put it into words like only he can..
The guy used to be at the top of world then he lost all his money drugs? It's good song, but it's about a guy who lost all his money drugs? It's about life's problems. It's about a guy who lost all his money because of something drugs?
Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I think the reason Paul didn't have time for a wife is that he has no interest in women--after all, he's talking to Davy, who's still in the navy, and probably will be for life. Compartir en Facebook Compartir en Twitter.
Piano Man Billy Joel. It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
