The Joker is a popular song in many groups because it has a variety of references that people can either relate to, or that people just like to debate. The song seems to be most popular with 'stoners' or those who smoke marijuana due to the lyrics in the chorus of the song: "I'm a joker. I'm a smoker. I'm a midnight toker."
In many lines of the song, Steve Miller is simply referring to his own previous songs:
"Some people call me the Space Cowboy..." refers to Miller's 1969 song Space Cowboy.
"Some call me the gangster of love..." refers to Miller's 1969 song Gangster of Love.
"Some people call me Maurice." refers to Miller's 1972 song Enter Maurice.
"The pompatus of love" also refers to the 1972 song Enter Maurice.
What some of these lyrics actually mean, such as "pompatus of love" still remain a debate among fans to this day.
The last line of the song is actually the same lyrics taken from a 1954 song, Lovey Dovey, by The Clovers: "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. Come on baby and I'll show you a good time"
