Question: A verse in the Billy Joel song "The Entertainer" references the shortening of another Joel song that was released in what year?

"The Entertainer" is a single by singer Billy Joel released as the only single from his 1974 album "Streetlife Serenade".  The song peaked at #34 on the US charts, a Top 40 hit for Joel that year.  The song is a cynical and somewhat satirical look at the fleeting fame of a musician and fickle public tastes ("Today I am your champion / I may have won your hearts / But I know the game / You'll forget my name / And I won't be here / in another year / if I don't stay on the charts"); this theme would be examined in the later song "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me".  Additionally, the timing printed on the label of the 7" release of "The Entertainer" was 3:05, although the actual 45 length was 3:11 (while the album length was 3:41).  In the single version, Verse 3 (which starts at 1:02 in the album version) is edited out, and Verse 2 (which starts at 0:40) contains a steel guitar in its second half, which is actually featured in the second half of the "third" verse in the album version; indeed, on the single mix, the instrumental crescendo of the album version is anticipated by bringing the fuller instrumentation of Verse 3 under the vocals of Verse 2.  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."  As a result of this, the slightly emptier original instrumentation of Verse 2 (which includes a downward slide on the synth) and the vocals of Verse 3 are completely omitted, while the instrumentation of Verse 3 (featuring the steel guitar) does appear, but earlier. <SEP> "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)" is a song written and originally recorded by Billy Joel which appeared as the final song on his album "Turnstiles" in 1976.  Several live performances of the song have been released.  He performed this song at benefit concerts: The Concert for New York City for victims of the September 11 attacks in 2001, on the television program "" for Hurricane Sandy victims in 2012 and during his set at "".  Joel has often tweaked the lyrics to the song at his live concerts, particularly at the "Live at Shea" and "Coming Together" concerts.  On New Year's Eve, 2016, Billy performed at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, a city just north of Miami Dade County .  At midnight, he crooned the traditional Auld Lang Syne and then immediately went into "Miami 2017".  On the January 9, 2017 episode of Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Billy Joel performed the song with Stay Human, the show's house band. <SEP> "Piano Man" is the first single released by Billy Joel.  Joel's first major hit and his signature song, the song peaked at #25 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in April 1974.  In 2016, the Library of Congress selected "Piano Man" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance."  It was released on November 2, 1973, and has been included on several subsequent albums. <SEP> "Don't Ask Me Why" is a Billy Joel song released in 1980.  The lyrics talk about the oddities of life that have become obvious over time.  It is more characteristic of a track that would have appeared on Joel's earlier albums in that it has a lighter folk sound as compared to the harder, more rock oriented tracks found throughout the album; the song supported public perception that Joel was a middle-of-the-road artist. .  The background track contains all acoustic and Latin percussion instruments performing in an Afro-Cuban rhythmic style.  An eclectic, instrumental "Latin Ballroom" piano solo, played over the bridge section after the second verse, is also featured in part of the song; Joel states that the mix for the midsection includes "fifteen pianos overdubbed on top of each other."  The song spent two weeks at number one on the Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at number nineteen on the "Billboard" Hot 100.
