Elton releases “Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player” today in 1973 — with its lead single “Crocodile Rock”.
“It was written as a kind of joke,” he said, “and it became a big hit and people love to sing along with it. .. The last time I have to sing that, I will probably throw a party.”

Only if you were a young teen at the time could you imagine the images those lyrics created in one's mind. 😆
but probably best to write songs ya love … especially if you plan on touring.
went to see the cat that wrote 867-5309 & everyone there just kept yelling at him to play it over & over … felt bad for him.
made me make more jazzy jungle d&b random melodies.
but felt like he really wanted a few extra togo celery & ranch & cheese 🧀 for later than dealing with fans.
c’est la Jenny
