在录制《Piano Man (Demo - 1973)》时,Billy Joel曾临时决定即兴加入一段口哨旋律,这个意外的灵感成为了歌曲中标志性的元素。当时,他在纽约的一家小酒吧演出,灵感迸发,用口哨吹出了这个旋律。录音师惊讶地捕捉到这一瞬间,后来这个口哨成为了歌曲的点睛之笔。据传闻,这首歌曲的原型最初只包含钢琴和弦乐,直到这个口哨的出现,才赋予了它灵魂。

歌词

[02:50.00]Piano Man - Billy Joel

[02:50.00]It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

[02:50.00]The regular crowd shuffles in

[02:50.00]There's an old man sitting next to me

[02:50.00]Making love to his tonic and gin

[02:50.00]He says, "Son can you play me a memory

[02:50.00]I'm not really sure how it goes

[02:50.00]But it's sad and it's sweet

[02:50.00]And I knew it complete

[02:50.00]When I wore a younger man's clothes"

[02:50.00]Sing us a song you're the piano man

[02:50.00]Sing us a song tonight

[02:50.00]Well we're all in the mood for a melody

[02:50.00]And you've got us feeling alright

[02:50.00]Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

[02:50.00]He gets me my drinks for free

[02:50.00]And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

[02:50.00]But there's someplace that he'd rather be

[02:50.00]He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"

[02:50.00]As a smile ran away from his face

[02:50.00]"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star

[02:50.00]If I could get out of this place"

[02:50.00]Now Paul is a real estate novelist

[02:50.00]Who never had time for a wife

[02:50.00]And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy

[02:50.00]And probably will be for life

[02:50.00]And the waitress is practicing politics

[02:50.00]As the businessmen slowly get stoned

[02:50.00]Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

[02:50.00]But it's better than drinking alone

[02:50.00]Sing us a song you're the piano man

[02:50.00]Sing us a song tonight

[02:50.00]Well we're all in the mood for a melody

[02:50.00]And you've got us feeling alright

[02:50.00]It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

[02:50.00]And the manager gives me a smile

[02:50.00]'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see

[02:50.00]To forget about life for a while

[02:50.00]And the piano sounds like a carnival

[02:50.00]And the microphone smells like a beer

[02:50.00]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

[02:50.00]And say "Man what are you doing here?"

[02:50.00]Sing us a song you're the piano man

[02:50.00]Sing us a song tonight

[02:50.00]Well we're all in the mood for a melody

[02:50.00]And you've got us feeling alright
