Talk:Big Shot (song)

Fair use rationale for Image:Big Shot.jpg
Image:Big Shot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

One suspects that the song is a projection about Joel himself "with the Dom Perignon and the spoon up [his nose]." 74.105.162.62 (talk) 12:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)kolef88
 * Well, the intro says that Joel himself "at one point" admitted it was this kind of oblique self-portrait. But it's not sourced. I remember hearing a rumor somewhere that it was actually about his first wife (then also his manager), which puts the control-freak subtext to "Just the Way You Are" in an entirely different context if it's true.

Music video
Should be something about the video... AnonMoos (talk) 02:43, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Hard rock?
"Big Shot" is NOT a 'hard rock' song by any reasonable standard. It's not soft rock like most Billy Joel songs but that doesn't make it 'hard'. I'm changing the genre to Rock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CannotFindAName (talk • contribs) 22:16, 2 February 2015
