Elton John - Crocodile Rock

Elton John 1972 Crocodile Rock

My Gran would dance with me in the living room to this song when I was a toddler. Is an absolutely precious memory for me. She passed last week and it has been on my playlist constantly since. An amazing memory

Negli anni 70 era normale sentire una canzone così. Ascoltandola oggi e osservando il video di tale prestazione posso apprezzare e comprendere appieno lo straordinario talento di Elton John. Nessuno come lui nel pop !

There is not a single live performance of Elton that I dislike. Same with Freddie Mercury. Some guys just were born to perform.

[@tylerspielman9309]

So true. Two of the best performers

[@ВераАлексеева]

Поражает и восхищает этот человек! Его талант, уверенность энергия потрясающи. Маленького роста, с короткими ручками и ножками, в очках но стоит ему начать играть и он становится прекрасен и велик! Потрясающий чистый сильный голос и очень добрые душевные песни! Желаю каждому найти свой талант

Another Great Elton Performance! LIVE!

[@Calcasola]

I really wasn't an elton john fan until i heard this a few days ago and i have been rocking it multiple times a day... Much better than the recorded version

[@renarga6886]

Watch the Muppet Show episode starring Elton John, you'll laugh a lot!

[@gumbyflowers]

Some people really like to knock old Elton but he really has done some blinding stuff. It comes naturally to him and he is honest enough to say that.

[@clarisadamron6078]

My favorite of his. I was 10 yrs old first time I heard it. 🐊❤

[@GK-jq8fj]

The madman across the water album is something else. Every song is so good! You should check it out. And since you like this live performance you should check out his old grey whistle live vids.

Because The La la ra la laaaa

[@tarmstrong9906]

This particular song etched out a memory and moment in time dating back to when I was kid. My sister was babysitting me and we were walking through a baseball park behind our house, the baseball park where I later played and became a minor league star 😅. For some reason, all she talked about that summer afternoon was crocodile rock and Elton John. I think she was in love 😍

[@mariawielgus1335]

Jak nie pamiętać czegoś przy czym staje się kobietą.❤️🥰

[@user-tp1rz4vd7l]

エルトンは歌うのにウンザリしているそうですが、アップテンポな中に哀愁も感じさせる曲で、私は一番好きな曲です！ 私は現在35歳ですが、約20年前にエルトンファンになりました。数年前に初めて来日コンサートにも行けまして、衰えぬ歌唱力に感動しました。 引退ツアー、日本にも来てください！お願いします😢

[@jayman860]

This is Sir Elton johns finest performance of this song! Far better then studio recording. Very musically tight. Bravo 👏

Several years ago, I watched the Sir Elton's film, " Rocket Man" with my friend of mine. Very interesting! Some people say, " I don't like him". but I am a big fan of him! Now he retired? He has brought us many entertaining music and performance! Special Thanks, Sir Elton! 🎉🤩✨😂

А мне в 1991 году ПАПА на 12 лет подарил пластинку Элтона Джона "Городской бродяга", вручил её словами: "Эй, бросай слушать всякую ерунду, Лена! Слушай Элтона!" И эти песни стали моими самыми любимыми. ❤ Уже нет давно и ПАПЫ, и СССР, а слушаю песни и возвращаюсь туда, где была счастлива.....

I remember when rock was young Me & Susie has so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock While the other kids were rocking ‘round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock 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, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the crocodile rocking was out of sight Laa, la la la la laa La la la la laa La la la la laa But the years went by and the rock just died Susie went and left us for some foreign guy Long nights crying by the record machine Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans But they’ll never kill the thrills we’ve got Burning up to the Crocodile rock Learning fast as the weeks went past We really thought the crocodile rock would last 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, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the crocodile rocking was out of sight Laa, la la la la laa La la la la laa La la la la laa I remember when Rock was young Me and Susie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the crocodile rock While the other kids were rocking ‘round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock 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, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the crocodile rocking was out of sight Laa, la la la la laa La la la la laa La la la la laa Laa, la la la la laa La la la la laa La la la la laa Laa, la la la la laa La la la la laa La la la la laa

[@nbuehster]

One of my favorites by him. Lately I've been imagining a new version where, instead of repeating the first verse, the third verse would be about a happy ending. (Suzie coming back into his life, like she didn't love the foreign guy anymore, and the Crocodile Rock becoming popular again) Also the song ends with 70s Dubstep.
