‘Saturday nights alright for fighting’ by Elton will knock your socks off. Trust me.

[@navin2112]

Hard agree

[@shawntaylor2937]

Indeed

[@that70slifetimetravel]

TRUE about that ^ :)

[@naytonestew7202]

"Saturday nights alright for fighing" is kinda like "Crocodile Rock" taken to the next level

Ya another rocker.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

“I Guess that’s Why They Call it the Blues” by Elton John is one of my all-time favorite songs.

[@Liz-vt8ke]

That song is so catchy sometimes when i listen to it i get in my feelings lol idk why. By any chance do you know what i guess thats why they call it the blues is about?

[@carolthomson9099]

This I my favourite, the situation in the video was.for me.in reverse, I went into the RAAF and left someone but we didn't make it back together which makes it even more.painful for me, but hey watch it with the video brilliant song.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

@@carolthomson9099 thank you for service. This song has meant something different to me in the past year - frontline workers who have had to isolate from their families. “I simply love you more than I love life itself.”

[@alfieh3477]

Mine too

[@jennhurl]

Jay, can you imagine someone handing you just these lyrics (Bernie Taupin) & you can sit down at the piano & basically hear the melody for it in your head & compose it? Elton is a freaking genius. What a unique working relationship they have. Together, they have created some of the most iconic songs ever. ❤🎵✌

@@kimberlinibambini1988 Hi sweets!! 😘

[@wpollock1]

Yes, and he never saw the lyrics prior to being in the studio and he would come up with the melody in 1/2 hour in those days.....that just blows me away.

[@jennhurl]

@@wpollock1 Yes!! He's literally next level genius!!

[@positroll7870]

Actually, that's rather normal for people who have studied composition at a conservatory. Too bad there arent too many of those in the pop music industry these days ... Here at 1:30 is an example of a famous (well, famous in Germany) pop singer and composer being handed a 19th century poem and composing a fitting song on the spot, within seconds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5nLkqmtdshod9U At the same time, he was one of the pioneers of using synthesizers (analogue Moog synthi) in German pop music. Or maybe you'd call it progressive rock at the time? kzbin.info/www/bejne/faLUYquVetunq6M This is the kind of pop music he was doing normally kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4HWdJKeg7ScZ5Y Music was generally ok; what stood out was his high quality lyrics, often analysing social problems of the day ... His last concert at age 80 back in 2016 ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGKwdZJjmL2gY6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHbMdohplq1oeNE RIP Udo Jürgens.

“Nikita” is not only one of his best songs, but one of the most beautiful songs written.

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

While I love Nikita especially the ending of it (always gives me chills) my favourite is Sacrifice.

[@jackiesueann3476]

Elton has NO bad songs!! Great 50's do the twist and at the hop kinda feel! My mom told me about going to "sock hops" ! Think of the movie Grease and you'll hear the comparison. ✌❤🎶😁

[@pamelapasechnick6899]

Did your Mom explain that back in the 50's and 60's, Sock Hops were so popular because during that time of the Baby Boomer era schools had such high enrollments that the only place large enough to hold a dance was the gymnasium. The problem was they had real hardwood floors that would be damaged by wearing street shoes on them. So, they were only allowed to dance on them if they were in their stockinged feet! AND back then "tennis shoes" were ONLY worn for gym class!

He wrote the original for Marilyn Monroe, then he changed the words for Princess Diana. When John Denver passed, my Mom joked about a possible version called Country Boy in the Wind. She had her staff at work in stitches over that. Miss her so much! I still laugh when thinking of that!

[@wendydouglas425]

I discovered Elton John from this song in 1972. I never looked back. I am so impressed, because you got everything out of the song that you were supposed to. You have a real instinct for this, and I love your reactions.

[@markvicferrer]

If you're liking this old style rock & roll music, check out American Graffiti. I haven't seen you react to an entire movie, so you can check out the soundtrack itself because it's got some absolute classics.

[@Jillyconjem]

That’s a great soundtrack! I fell in love with the Platters. 💜💜💜

[@kevingavigan7883]

Elton John overdubbed on both the lead and backing vocals, and (also by overdubbing), played both the piano and organ parts, and did the clapping. The backing band consisted of Davey Johnstone on guitar, Dee Murray on bass and Nigel Olsson on drums. The organ on this song reminds me of the pre-British Invasion rock and roll of the early 1960s.

[@brigitter1469]

Such a talented man. 50/60s sound in the 70s. Saw him in concert... everyone stood for the entire 3 1/2 hour concert dancing and jamming with him in 2014. He gave us nothing but hit after hit and he only took 1 5 minute break!!

[@bobbiohio265]

Great choice by a great artist

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

One of my favorites of Sir Elton’s! Also his version of “Lucy in the Sky with diamonds.” 💙✌️

[@325diane]

What I loved most about Elton John was how you never knew what you were going to get on each new recording, but every song was amazing!!!

[@Jillyconjem]

Imagine going back to 1975, when Cher (the woman in the barely there outfit on the Navy ship) had her own tv show (without Sonny, her ex husband and musical partner) and had Elton John on as a musical guest when he’d recently covered the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”. A performance I will never forget watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJDImpqamL5lo9U

[@Jillyconjem]

@Barely Taupe I was 10-ish when it first came on. Sonny was the joke pretty much. Cher was the star... which is why she got a show after they broke up. Ha. They were entertaining, but there were so many of those show around then. Donny and Marie, The Hudson Brothers, Glen Campbell, Mac Davis, Flip Wilson, Dean Martin, Laugh In, Hee Haw. Music and comedy, comedy and music. A lot of it went over my head as a kid, but some of it stuck. This Elton John appearance stuck. I can’t tell you what happened yesterday, but I remember this. 🤣

[@Jillyconjem]

@Barely Taupe Goldie was and is adorable! I loved Arte Johnson. He was adorable in his own little way. Oh, and I forgot the Smothers Brothers! Tommy Smothers did his Yo-Yo Man thing, too! (He’d actually been in the Plastic Ono Band, too!) They had a fun show. My childhood is hitting my memory segment like a tsunami. Yikes! 🤣

[@davidwarman4830]

Listen to the whole "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" double album if you want Elton at his best.

[@janethernandez724]

Wow! Taking me all the way back to the early 70s with this one! "Well, Crocodile rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess, I never will Oh, lady, mama those Friday nights When Suzie wore her dresses tight And the Crocodile rocking was out of sight" I love this song still! Excellent reaction on this one! Until the next song! Peace! ✌🏼☮

LOL I used to blast this on my old 8 track! It was such a fun song! Honky Cat was also one of my favorites..the instrumentals in it are fantastic. Will love Elton forever.

[@belgand5555]

I remember being very young when this came out.. My parents bought me an a mini organ/keyboard with a tiny bench.. it’s gone many years since, but it was one of the first songs I learned to play on that keyboard..My Dad used to kneel in front of it and pretend he knew the notes..he played instruments by ear.. All the fun I had back then, we used sing the la la la part as loud as we could driving every one in the house nuts...Every time I think of him when this song comes on.. I so wish he was still here to make my heart happy again.. He made me love music from day one....🎹🎼🎹

[@lowrider4266]

[@Jillyconjem]

“Candle in the Wind” - originally written about Marilyn Monroe, but modified when his friend Princess Diana passed. “Empty Garden” - written about his friend John Lennon’s passing. Both are gorgeous songs. “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” - written about his near marriage and attempted suicide. “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word” - one of my favorite Elton songs. Heart wrenching. “We All Fall in Love Sometimes/Curtains” - from the Captain Fantastic album. “Curtains” is my absolute favorite of Elton’s. Since it follows/runs into “We All Fall in Love Sometimes”, they’re often presented together. Great stuff. 💜💜💜

Elton is surely one of the most gifted of modern music composers. From this rock and roll fav, he runs the gamut of genres to Broadway musicals. You must watch his "Electricity" from his musical Billy. The London performance of this, especially adapted for the Royal Command Performance, is wonderous.

[@RayRay-zt7bj]

As much as this song was played back in the day, you can never stop feeling the urge to hop to the Crocodile Rock. One minor thing that got me about Elton John was my lack of ability to make out some of the lyrics he was singing in certain songs. in this song, the main lyric was what sounded like he was singing the word Crile-Rocket. I later found out that was exactly what he was singing. Croc-O-Dile Rock-et had too many syllables in it, Elton just shortened it to Crilerocket. BRILLIANT!!! Elton John always had a unique variety of tunes that didn't sound all the same like some singers had. I wish I had got to see him in concert at least once, especially while still in his prime.

[@prd1073]

Don't know if Elton ever visited the tiny holiday resort of Millport on the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. But there is a rock there that's called the Crocodile Rock, because of it's "resemblance" to a crocodile rearing out of the beach. The eyes and teeth are painted in with white, red and black paint. Used to spend family summer holidays there and in my head, that's what he is singing about

[@richardfox1605]

Elton's tribute to the Doo Wop music he loved and so many of us grew up on.

[@holyspacemonkey]

I love this song! I love all the nostalgia songs for early rock n’ roll, like The Beach Boys’ “Do You Remember?” Btw in this song, where Elton sings falsetto, that’s just like passages in a lot of 50s songs. I love that era of pop music so much!
