With sing-a-long lyrics! Written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, specifically with Ringo Starr in mind, this song appeared on Ringo's 1974 album "Goodnight Vienna". Elton himself played piano for Ringo's recording - it's him we hear counting off the song at the beginning! Guitar was played by Robbie Robertson (of The Band) and bass was provided by the great Klaus Voorman. On the synthesizer was James Newton-Howard, who later became keyboardist in the Elton John band, and of course even later, a great Hollywood filmscore composer. And a great horn section by Trevor Lawrence, who later played in Stevie Wonder's band. And did we mention Ringo Starr on drums? In short - WHAT A BAND!!!!!

BTW - I believe the painting at the end of the video was actually painted by Marge Simpson! ;o)

Here's Elton John's solo demo of the song

What a strange little song. I heard it on Sirius XM's 70s on 7 and thought it felt very "Elton John" and also, let's be honest, a bit idiotic (in a fun way!) then learned that Elton and Bernie wrote it, and kept it "simple" and "commercial". I felt validated on all fronts. Anyway, I kinda love it.

This was supposed to be a big hit, but it never caught on. They figured a song by Elton being sung by a Beatle would be a chart topper but people just didnt take to it for some reason.

I can't believe I haven't heard this song before-or maybe ?I have and just don't remember it. At any rate it's a catchy little tune by Sir Elton and Bernie!

@RonnieFriend I would guess Ringo overdubbed some fills...

A very good song by the normally un-talented Ringo and often boring Elton John. I believe that this side of the record should have been the hit. I cannot understand why the other side, the awful "No No Song" was the side that charted. Theres no accounting for taste, I suppose.

Actually, to be "honest" BOTH Ringo & Jim Keltner are credited on this track!
