About the Song
"The Entertainer" is a single by singer Billy Joel released as the only single from his 1974 album Streetlife Serenade. The song peaked at #34 on the US charts, a Top 40 hit for Joel that year. The song is a cynical look at the fleeting fame of a musician and fickle public tastes ("Today I am your champion / I may have won your hearts / But I know the game / You will forget my name / And I won't be here / In another year, / If I don't stay on the charts"); this theme would be examined in the later song "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me". The song references the shortening of Joel's song, "Piano Man", from 5 minutes to 3 minutes and 5 seconds to fit a radio slot. On some of the singles released for "The Entertainer" the song was b-sided with "The Mexican Connection".
