The Entertainer
from Billy Joel A to Z
Turns out Billy Joel was wrong and even though he's been off the charts since the 90's no one's forgotten his name and he's never been in the discount rack. Today we are discussing the song, The Entertainer. An absolute classic. And we really get into it. The lyrics are amazing and rhyme like it's nobody's business. The Entertainer is the first song off the second side of 1974's Streetlife Serenade album and went to number 34 on the charts all the way back in 1975. AND, even though you've gotta cut the song down to 3:05 - it's 3:21. But that's alright, those 16 extra seconds are pretty great. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
