  I don’t know if this is the place for this, but god damn is the original Billy Joel song cringeworthy. “Making love to his tonic and gin”, something absolutely nobody ever says (it’s “gin and tonic”). “Talking to Davy who’s still in the navy” is another example of mangling shit to fit the rhyme scheme. And it’s all just a song about how awesome and better-than-this he, Billy Joel, is (“man, what are you doin’ here?”).

  Would be the most lyrically embarrassing song of all time if not for “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.

    He’s said in interviews that those were these people’s real names. There was literally a real life dude named Davy who was in the Navy, is that the most unrealistic thing in the world?

    Davy in the Navy

    Davy, or Davie, is an actual name that people use. It’s not a butchering of Dave. I have a supervisor named Davie

    it’s literally a song about how none of the people who are there should be there, but life happened. and i prefer the song where he maintains the rhyme scheme.

  Piano-man, piano-man. Does whatever a piano can. Falls on crooks from real high. Squishes them. Kills those guys.

  Look out. He is the piano-man

  Either this comic is very very old and someone stole the lyrics without crediting then, or they stole the lyrics without crediting someone.

  The rhyming style sounds so much like the Gruffalo :)

    It sounds like one of those made-up words from Wicked but actually good
