Billy Joel A to Z

Root Beer Rag


Listen Later

Root Beer Rag is the 4th song on side one of Billy Joel’s third studio album Streetlife Serenade, which was released October 11, 1974. It is one of three instrumental album tracks on Billy Joel studio albums. Since Marvin Hamlisch's Piano instrumental, The Entertainer from the 1973 Oscar Winning Movie, The Sting was the most popular song in the nation, we think Billy had a sense of jealousy and set out to teach Marvin a lesson with this ridiculously fast paced piano piece.
