Elton John: What's your favourite song?

[electrogirl]

elton is such a dick

you are a dick for saying that elton is a dick

 

[Madusa]

But HE is! He's a big, flabby dick!

 

[Fedayn]

But HE is! He's a big, flabby dick!

What she said. Not to mention a hysterical cringing old queen.

 

[DotCommunist]

is his face bovvered?

I don't think it is

 

[electrogirl]

But HE is! He's a big, flabby dick!

I lolled for about a minute then!

But he is not.

Actually he really is, but he sings good songs like the ones listed on this thread, and he wears really good outfits.

Rocket Man. Drug song. Me likey.

Like the one in Breaking the Waves too that once again I've forgotten the name of.

Why they call it the blues, for sentimental reasons. I have it on vinyl

Love all his songs though.

 

[Flashman]

Ken Russell directed a few of those early 80s vids

 

[beeboo]

Rocket Man, Bennie & the Jets and Your Song.

I went to see him a few weeks ago doing the 'Red Piano' tour, it was great

 

[cesare]

Another vote for Bennie and The Jets

 

[electrogirl]

Rocket Man. Drug song. Me likey.

Like the one in Breaking the Waves too that once again I've forgotten the name of.

Is Rocket Man actually about drugs though? I thought it was just meant to be a gibberishy song.

whatever one is shortest

According to Elton yeah, said it was in some documentary anyway, and he found it funny that he and Bernie could slip songs like that in under the radar so to speak.

I may find a link if I can be arsed.

oh wittyface is here everyone! nob.

 

[dodgepot]

there's no need to be so rude, is there?

Touche

According to wiki it's about going to Mars

But wiki is wonky.

I deffo remember Elton saying it's about drugs anyway.

That's what songfacts says it is too.

And songfacts has the word 'facts' in the title.

I don't know who to believe tbh.

 

[Flashman]

Maybe I dreamed it.

 

[zenie]

I heard Rocketman was about drugs too

 

[Flashman]

Thank you zenie, I felt so alone for a while there.

 

[electrogirl]

Yeah I heard i too but I think it was just a rumour.

I guess any song about space and rockets and mars around that time would've been interpreted that way.

I didn't slag elton john off for being a "flower purchasing" cunt of an ex Watford*spit* chairman in my first post. This was a mistake.


Tiny dancer is great though.
