On cruises, I used to always chat with the pianists about repertoire. Every one of them would complain Piano Man was requested three times a night on average. Don’t Stop Believing was second most requested. Then Sweet Caroline (of course) and Benny and the Jets.
These songs work so well in a piano bar that the player has to suck it up and play them or on a ship will be a very quiet room.

Good ones will change some of the words especially late at night
