‘Saturday nights alright for fighting’ by Elton will knock your socks off. Trust me.
Hard agree
Indeed
TRUE about that ^ :)
"Saturday nights alright for fighing" is kinda like "Crocodile Rock" taken to the next level
Ya another rocker.
“I Guess that’s Why They Call it the Blues” by Elton John is one of my all-time favorite songs.
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?
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.
@@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.”
Mine too
Anything ELTON is Fantastic ❣️😍😍😍😍
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. ❤🎵✌
Hey girl! Most definitely!!💜
@@kimberlinibambini1988 Hi sweets!! 😘
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.
@@wpollock1 Yes!! He's literally next level genius!!
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: ruclips.net/video/qhhavwAc5As/видео.html
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? ruclips.net/video/Gqq1x_EvtuA/видео.html
This is the kind of pop music he was doing normally
ruclips.net/video/ePsC_hNOi14/видео.html
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 ...
ruclips.net/video/J1MD_-cXm-A/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/NEiEU3aH5Bo/видео.html
RIP Udo Jürgens.
"Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" "Funeral for a Friend" "Bennie and the Jets"
Bennie and The Jets definitely if you haven't already.. One of my favorites along with Daniel
Our host has played a number of these great songs already
@Barely Taupe did you see his reaction for Daniel? Loved it. I went back to check. He also did Benny and the Jets, and Your song already plus a few others. It looked like he was on an Elton John kick for awhile. All great reactions
he reacted to Bennie already - see it here ruclips.net/video/2PBja4sNMUQ/видео.html and Goodbye ruclips.net/video/2PBja4sNMUQ/видео.html
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.
✌❤🎶😁
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!
Elton has a song for every mood..... no bad songs in his song list!!
Please do Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee.
Great minds think alike lol. I’ve been playing that one all weekend! Love it!
I love the version with RuPaul ruclips.net/video/-esD-o4XrJ0/видео.html
I love that one
I love It!!!
“Nikita” is not only one of his best songs, but one of the most beautiful songs written.
While I love Nikita especially the ending of it (always gives me chills) my favourite is Sacrifice.
my favourite!
You should watch him perform this on the Muppet Show!
I remember that. It's been some time. Now I see more greys in my hair and beard. Lord I'm aging. Thanks for the memory.
👍✌
Candle in the Wind..or song he sang at Princess Diana’s funeral. I still can’t watch him sing that without tearing up😥
Yes, even after all of these years it still hurts my heart when I hear the song. I was going to be a sophomore in an all girls h.s. when Diana married Charles; to us it was thr fairytale come to life - never guessing how it would end.
That Diana version in 97 was areworking of the song. The original was about Marilyn Monroe.
@@SteveODonnell right👍
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!
@@patches1589 such a cherished memory 💕😊
Whole everyone was rocking round the clock we were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock
😂👍
Elton John , Good Bye Yellow Brick Road is also a Good One.
he reacted to that one- see it here ruclips.net/video/B_67keFPBsY/видео.html
Elton John has such a huge back catalogue of great songs. Part of my teens and early adulthood - 70s and 80s.
I was waiting for you to get up and start to dance around the room. It's a party song you just love to dance and sing to.
Oh man. I used to dance around the house to this in the 70's
I’ve been playing the Elton John and Kiki Dee duet “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” this weekend hard! Love love love the older Elton stuff!
he later redid this with him and Ru Paul :D
He can skip that one not a classic
@@allensaunders449 Speak for yourself, I love it.
@@JonathanAllen0379 it's my comment of course I'm speaking for myself
Please do ‘Philadelphia freedom’ and ‘Sad Songs Say So Much’
ELTON Was FANTASTIC IN THE 70s ,,
If pressed to pick my favorite EJ song, PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM would be a serious contender.
Two excellent picks. Philadelphia Freedom is one of my favorites.
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.
That's why he's my favourite.
Next to Jamel and KSO, he'one of the only reactors with enough depth and sensibility to grasp the true essence of songs.
Something sorely lacking in most reactors.
Try Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. It's another incredible Elton John song!
J, you'll love his "I'm Still Standing", "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Funeral For A Friend /Love Lies Bleeding"
My absolute favorite Elton John song! Easily just because I have so many memories of my mom playing this for me when I was little and we would just dance around singing to it with our hairbrush's
Yessss! Also his version of “Lucy in the sky with diamonds!”
Nice profile pic retro_boi 😉
@@jennifermitchell1 thanks!
You've got to see Elton on the Muppet Show doing this song.
with 'real' crocodiles
Jay, please react to my favorite Elton song: “Someone Saved My Life Tonight.” Got me through one of the darkest times in my life.
Rachel, I had forgotten about that tune. That got me through a rough time too. Sometimes a song like that can make a difference.
One of his best!
Hope you are doing better Rachel
I love it when you react to Sir Elton John. You haven't yet even scratched the surface!
As a teenager I remember studying this a lot until I got every word down🌹❤️
Yesssss!😅
I've loved this song ever since I was 8 years old, the year it came out!
Me too! Funny how I can remember all the lyrics from when I was 8 but can't remember where I put my keys yesterday.
Part of the faux nostalgia for the 1950's that was so big in the 1970's among those of us born in the late 1950's and the 1960's lol. This is so much fun to hear live!
Used to do the jitter bug with my sister in the living room to this song when mom would let us play her albums.
"Crocodile Rock", such a fun song.Makes you move .Gotta Dance.
Elton John is such a great performer.
Finally, la la la la la, LOL! I absolutely love this Elton song. One of his best !!! Sure takes me back to some fun times !!!
Saturday nights alright for fighting: old time rock and roll song. You wouldnt have thought Elton John could do a song like this. Really great old time rock and roll. Great guitar , drums bass, and Elton playing the piano and singing his but off
The lyrics and dance references give me the 50s sock hop vibes 💗
"Speedy Gonzales" Pat Boone. EJ got THIS from THAT. Check it out.
Man, I remember being 16 and listening to this in my friend's car on school mornings.
Highly recommended that you watch "Rocketman".
Epic movie about Elton John's life, came out in 2018 i think, with lots of great tributes to his best songs..
"Philadelphia Freedom"
EXACTLY 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
GREAT one too!
Great choice by a great artist
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! ✌🏼☮
This was such a cool groovy song from my childhood. Timeless classic if you ask me 🤷. Makes you sing and dance 🎶. Stay safe 💗🕊️
One of my favorites of Sir Elton’s! Also his version of “Lucy in the Sky with diamonds.” 💙✌️
Evening Jay good choice
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.
This was "our song " when my girl and I were dating way back when. As of 2 weeks ago, we've been married now for 47 yrs!
💜
I remember listening to this at the all nite roller skating rink in the early 70s! WOW, what a good song to skate too!
His version of “Lucy in the sky with diamonds!” Just my choice!
ELTON JOHN! One of the most BRILLIANT composers of our time. We have been blessed to have lived while he created.
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!!
Listen to the whole "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" double album if you want Elton at his best.
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.
That’s a great soundtrack! I fell in love with the Platters. 💜💜💜
Benny and the Jets.
I love the music part of this song, it’s just so unique ❤️
Another winner from Elton. I first saw him on Tv in 1970 aged 8, when he sung your song. Brilliant.
@@dalebaker9109 yes, he is so talented. So many great hits. “Your song” is one of my favorites ❣️
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.
You need to do his duet with George Michael, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me". And his song Believe, is also great. I love Elton John's music
He did that one. Check his Playlist.
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!!!
I can never get enough of Elton John. So many great songs over many years.
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. ruclips.net/video/z_eigdcY2ms/видео.html
@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. 🤣
@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! 🤣
I highly recommend the film Rocketman. Outstanding film. One of my favourites is I’m Still Standing.
Thanks. Elton rocks out for sure. Great reaction. Classic song from a legend.
One of my favorite dancing with my daughter on my hip songs, back in 1980's...
If you get to watch any live versions of Elton John, his piano playing never disappoints! It’s so much fun to watch him play.
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....🎹🎼🎹
Hey Jay!! I absolutely LOVE how you totally FEEL the music 💙💙
You have great musicality. ** Can you feel the love tonight? The song from Lion King is an Elton John song you might already know but didn’t realize it was him** 😉
Keep up the awesome reactions! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
I was 6 years old, just startin school. Brought my portable record player to school and this 45 record for show and tell! True story! I was honored to see him in concert in my late 30's! May not have ever heard "Sorry Seems to Be The Hardest Word"...haunting!
1972. He was so young then. He was wearing massive glasses playing the piano. Fell in love with the song immediately
I just recently discovered you and subscribed. 1st of all you are adorable, I love all your reactions, secondly I love your vids and listening to all these “oldies” because it gives me such a nostalgia fix!
"Sacrifice" by Elton John is another banger😉 and "Circle of Life"😇
My favourite
Next one should be don't go break'in my heart
Donna . . . .Great choice, as usual.
Been busy and it breaks my heart not to comment on all of Jovaughn's vids.
🤗🤗 for all~
With Kiki or with Miss Piggy? Both are great.
@@kathleencollins5531 Kiki
This a good upbeat one of his. I wasn't a fan of Elton John until I had gifted one Xmas a greatest hits cd of his about 20 years ago .What quality songwriting and Elton,s voice is gold.Fav one of his is Daniel 😊 The films Gnomeo and Juliet introduced his music to a new generation of audience too !🙂👌
“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.
💜💜💜
Sir Elton John: He was knighted by the Queen of England. I was 15 yrs old 16 one month away when this was released.
Our Elton IS the Queen of England ;)
Please react to Elton's~~ Someone Saved My Life Tonight...
AN ALL-TIME-FAVORITE!! 💖💖💖
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
His Best!
It's so nice to see someone enjoying music from different genres. I come from a family of musicians, so I listened to EVERYTHING. My friends thought it was weird, but "Oh Well" - Elton, Stevie Wonder, and The Beatles got me thru a painful childhood trauma
Dancing in the basement to this Fab song from Elton John in the 70’s when I was a teenager! With meaning! Love your reaction! It was a huge hit ! Love this!
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!
I have been an Elton John fan every since the first time I heard this song close to 50 years ago !!!💓💓💓💓💓💓
My first experience with this song was not Elton John but Simon dressed as Elton at a piano in a Chipmunks music special when I was very young and I LOVED it!! I had to hear it more and I've loved Elton John ever since. It's still my favorite of all his songs! 😂
Listen to Elton sing"I guess that's why they call it the blue's"! I love it when he sings the blue's. A fine song as is most of his!
Let’s face it Elton John is a legacy performer, so much good music the transcends time… And yes I did get a chance to see him in person back in the 70s, one of the greatest concerts I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot
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.
I saw Elton and his original band at the Sydney Entertainment Centre back in the early 2000’s. Great concert!
When I was a kid...like under age 10 we used to sing this song. It's def a classic, fun song.
I always enjoyed listening to this, I've never been a big fan of Sir Elton John but I really enjoy listening to some of his music and I can enjoy his huge talent. He is a great character and musician/singer/songwriter, he is one of the greats in my opinion but after hearing him sing Candle in the Wind for Princess Diana I couldn't listen to him until now but it was great to hear him again. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK
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.
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
It's another TEN from Mr. John . . . Elton John ROCKS!!!
One of the best songs to have at a party or at the bar!! Love it 🙌
Those were the days!! I just LOVED it & enjoyed dancing to this in the past
This is my favourite Elton song. The Madison Gardens live version is phenomenal.
This one of my favorite songs from childhood. Still one of my all time feel good or pick me up songs.
One of his first big hits. We danced at the school end of term disco to this, great days indeed. Loved your reaction. This is a proper old school rock n roller. Doowop and all.
That was fun, I haven't heard it for years. 💙
"Nikita" from Ice on Fire (1985)
This was popular when I was in 5th grade. We got to dance to it in the gym in PE class - I remember back pops. Fun song
Elton John
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Cowboy
Nikita
Sacrifice. TY.
Mom had that record back in the late 70's/early 80's and that was the 1st song I ever remember listening to, I used to beg mom to play it, because the part where they sing "La, la la la la la" I would imagine muppet crocodiles singing that part LOL....
One of the greatest concerts I have EVER seen!!
Fantastic review young buck!!! Im so happy to see you exploring music from a time period before you, keep it up please i am now subscribed and looking forward to watching your journey!!!!!!! 5/5
Rage
Elton John has always had fun music!!!😊😊🥳🥳🥳🥳🎶🎵🎼🤟
Easily one of my favourite Elton John songs, particularly as I first heard it as a child (when Crocodile Rock's sweet lyrics, happy melodies and catchy rhythm really appeals).
I've been listening to Elton since he started, more or less, and sometimes when you've heard a song a thousand times you start to get a little dismissive of it, 'Oh, not Crocodile Rock again!' I've come on RUclips and written 'Why don't people listen to some other stuff, there are dozens of songs better than Crocodile Rock'. I read an interview with him recently where he said that he looks forward to the day, after he finishes touring, when he can forget about songs like this and play some of the lesser-known ones.
But seeing it brand new through your eyes makes me realise what a genius he was and is, and what a great pop song this is. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Oh, and as others have said, watch him do this on the Muppets. Genius, I tell you, genius.
Something else to listen to . . . well, Saturday Night's Alright, of course. From the same album, I've Seen That Movie Too. Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Gotta Get A Meal Ticket. . . . I Gotta go, or I'll be here all night.
Just before this, I listened to your reaction to New Order. How about hearing what Elton was up to in the 90s? The One, Believe, Made in England, Live Like Horses, Something About the Way You Look Tonight. Not his greatest period, I must admit - he came back with a bang in 2000 with Songs From the West Coast. Still, The One is a powerful song and there's a version of Horses with Pavarotti, so there is that.
