> Another verse in the song references the shortening of Joel's song, "Piano Man", from 5 minutes and 38 seconds to 3 minutes and 5 seconds to fit a radio slot, referenced by the lyrics
It was a beautiful song,
but it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit
you gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05.
