This song was so ahead of its time. I think if it was released today it would still smash.

[@marcinjankowski4432]

What I love about my African American parents is that they believed in listening to all kinds of music and not just R&B. Back when I was 10 years old, my parents bought an 8-track of the Steve Miller Band. My brother, sister, and I listened to all of the songs on that 8-Track continuously, but The Joker was our favorite. Kudos to this band for making such awesome music that has transcended time. Here I am, 55 years old, and I thought about this song, and I had to hear it. Thanks to KZbin and technology for allowing us to relive a great part of our childhood through music, movies, and videos.

I was born in 1997 and its crazy how a song made 20 years before i was born can have such a lasting effect on me especially since i mainly listen to rap/r&b. An absolute classic in every sense of the word.

[@justasmalltowngirl9430]

I miss my dad goofing around singing this song and others, dancing around the house. This song is bittersweet memories for me.

Happy 80th Birthday Steve. You're an amazing musician. 🎸 Keep rockin'!

[@hernansalcedo1]

Happy birthday Steve Miller even though it's one day after your birthday 🎂!!!!!! Your tune THE JOKER is amazingly GOOD!!!!!! And is the happy ending of Mike Myers Jessica Alba and Justin Timberlake THE LOVE GURU movie. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

[@nonondriessen]

Thank you for mentioning this. I'm happy to read he's still rocking.

[@christianmprost98]

This style and attitude needs to make a comeback.

[@jjsteel43]

I agree

[@yoboiangel9862]

It’s almost been a year since I lost the greatest person I knew on this earth. My idol was my pap, and he was the only one making sure I’m making it good. Without his support here it makes me reflect how much that man influenced me. I know in heaven he’s got his door open just for me his “buddy boy”. You definitely gotta go through hell to get to heaven.

Brings back so many memories, it makes me wanna get in the old 71 ford truck. Find a old dirt road with the cooler in the back, go to the creek. Have a blast with my old friends. Being 55 now looking back. That was fun. Wet my hair back put shades on just call me the breeze.

So good to hear this again after many years! Always loved this song! Gotta love a bit of STEVE MILLER.

Hello. How are you doing today? Thanks so much for your love and support 🎸🎶

This is my mom & my dad's song, 23 year's later & they still kind love each other!

Some songs are classics when you first hear them; this is one of them. Moved Steve to superstar status & rightly so!

Thank you Bandle, didn't know this song before

I’m 16 years old and this is definitely my favorite song of all time. I just find the song so relatable and no matter how much I listen to it, it never gets old. Thank you Steve Miller Band!

Good to hear. I am 68 and from Norway. Been one of my favourite songs for decades!

I think I was 15 when this song hit. A girl in our school was kicked out of class for singing the "love your peaches" part in class to a teacher. Still funny.

[@joana6191]

You have a great taste for music!

[@eliasperez9975]

@@LuckyTown77 I tip my hat to the girls who got suspended for singing such a great song.

[@visionsofed9459]

I don’t know if I would consider the "The Joker" my favorite song, but I don’t think I ever got as excited to hear a song on the radio back in the old days as I did when this classic came on.

[@sammas3900]

I was searching for this song for years and I've finally found it. I remember hearing it on the radio when I was little and maybe even guitar hero. I'm glad I found it

[@mccallosone4903]

shouldve asked anyone over 35

[@vxCOCOxv]

I thought this song was from the 2000’s! Born ‘91, I didn’t know this song was this old. What a song! It’s still being played everywhere. 😌

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I'm a longtime fan of the Steve Miller Band. I saw them twice live.

[@gijo777]

Same

[@gijo777]

I saw him in lake Tahoe twice and the area has very high altitude so Steve struggled to sing and he had to go back stage and use an oxygen machine. This was this year and last year and I don't know if he was struggling due to the altitude but I hope that's all it is because I don't want him to completely lose his voice.

[@rochlukas7991]

You guys are so lucky to lived these good years I was born in 1998 and it look way better back then

[@shinyoneincarnate5565]

Saw Steve, in the late 1970s, play outside for about 45 people in the city of his birth, Milwaukee Wisconsin. Steve was really stoked, & came back for a total of 17 on-cores. The Milwaukee Journal reported Steve had played in every city, he had ever lived in, (Dallas, Madison, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, New York, & now Milwaukee. Steve received "The Key to the City" from each mayor in those places. Steve excitedly called his mom to tell her about this. (She lived in Milwaukee at the time). One of the BEST concerts in my memory of multitudes.

The very first I heard one of their songs...I was hooked. There's just something about their style that separates them from everyone else!

The Joker is a great song from yet another brilliant artist/band from the best era for music Well, let's say 60s 70s Rock on!

MUCH RESPECT and thank you steve miller.

[@TexasJames]

Remember carrying around my parents cd of theirs. Had a horse or something with an all blue background and I just loved this band. Been a decade or longer since I actually listened to it. Mid 90s were fun (I know they are older than that).
