The Joker is the eighth studio album by Steve Miller Band. The album marked a period of significant change for the group as the band abandoned their music for a more melodic, smooth rock/blues sound. Perhaps not coincidentally, it was also their first solid commercial success due to the strong radio-play of the title track. The title track took 19 days to record.

Produced by Steve Miller. Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah Some call me the gangster of love Some people call me Maurice 'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love People talk about me, baby Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong Well, don't you worry, baby, don't worry 'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right. I play my music in the sun I'm a joker, I'm a smoker I'm a midnight toker I sure don't want to hurt no one Whooo Whoooo. People keep talking about me, baby Say I'm doing you wrong Well, don't you worry, don't worry, no, don't worry, mama 'Cause I'm right here at home You're the cutest thing I ever did see Really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time C'mon baby, now. I'll show you a good time.

Steve Miller told the story of the song in an interview with Mojo November 2012: "I got this funny, lazy, sexy little tune," he recalled, "but it didn't come together until a party in Novato, north of San Francisco. Peter from Birmingham, United KingdomFatboy Slim covered The Joker on his 2004 album "Palookaville" :) Amanda from Arroyo Grande, CaThis song was also covered by country music artist Keith Urban as the encore to a concert in Paso Robles, CA for the CA Mid State Fair, where The Steve Miller Band had just performed the day before. Andrew from Birmingham, United StatesThe Steve Miller Band's lyrics in "The Joker" are kinda crazy. I don't know what they're about, really.

The Joker" is a song by the Steve Miller Band from their 1973 album The Joker.

The Joker is, without question, the turning point in Steve Miller's career, the album where he infused his blues with a big, bright dose of pop and got exactly what he deserved: Top Ten hits and stardom. He also lost a lot of fans, the ones who dug his winding improvs, because those spacy jams were driven by chops and revealed new worlds. The Joker isn't mind-expanding, it's party music, filled with good vibes, never laying a heavy trip, always keeping things light, relaxed and easygoing.
