    A remarkably insubstantial song - far from Elton's best - but it works, somehow.https://twitter.com/RetroNewsNow/status/1117125057816428544 …

        Good song to listen to if you're in the right frame of mind.

        For one thing, it's a vamp, which is supposed to be structurally loose. For another, it's funny. For another, the production makes it sound like you're in a sonically awful arena, which is just perfect.

        I think far too much about the decision to produce it as "live" and how flawlessly they pulled it off.

        Yes, I was thinking about you guys making that point on the podcast. It makes the song. Even moreso than, say, Springsteen with Sherry Darling.

        It's good! And it doesn't sound a lot like anything or anyone else.

        Plus, listening to me sing Bennie and the Jets while wearing headphones is a quasi-religious experience for everyone near me.pic.twitter.com/DG2t8sAZrY

        No. No it doesn’t. It’s aural pollution.

        To his delight, it became his first single to cross over to black radio, charting higher there than his subsequent efforts that were more "intentionally" R&B.pic.twitter.com/FLYV7yaeHM

        Everyone I knew in jr. high listened to that song because we heard a "b" in place of the "t" in the lyric "electric boots" and we couldn't believe you could sing that on the radio.
