Dueling Pianos - Songs

Songs

Commonly requested songs at a dueling piano bar can include almost any genre, and are generally accompanied by a monetary tip.

Examples:

  • Don't Stop Believin'
  • Piano Man
  • Tiny Dancer
  • Great Balls of Fire
  • Bennie and the Jets
  • Sweet Caroline
  • Friends in Low Places
  • Baby Got Back
  • Paradise by the Dashboard Light
  • Hotel California
  • Brown Eyed Girl
  • Lucille
  • Joy to the World
  • Bohemian Rhapsody
  • The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Many of the songs requested do not fall into the typical "piano bar" category, and many dueling piano players pride themselves on their ability to perform songs that are generally not considered as such, like those from hard rock and rap genres.

Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    “When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
    Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
    The air is full of children, statues, roofs
    And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
    Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
    The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?””
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
