    I remember when rock was young
    Me and Suzie 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 Suzie wore her dresses tight
    and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
    But the years went by and the rock just died
    Suzie 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

    It was two years ago when I first heard this song. I never heard it before but just at that moment, I found it so familiar with the lyrics and melodies. It was like something deep in my mind arose by this song, so familiar like a childhood memory.

      Yeah people forget what it was like before DvD player and we where just getting rid of the last of the remaining Beta players and moving to VHS players. Technology was no where near perfect at the time and audio/video is nothing like now. I still prefer watching shows from the 60-90s over the crap now a days. Just to me quality was better back then. now with such HD graphics it just feels too fake.

    Call him gay if you want, however; people just don't make music like this anymore. This is a song where the person's voice is actually real. Today with autotune and other sound effects its hard to even know if a person's voice is real or fake.

    I dont think that him being gay has anything to do with the quality of his songs. Im not gay, but that doesnt mean I cannot like his songs and vocals. Elton John, George Michael, Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert are all gay musicians that have produced some music that I like. There have been too many comments on here talking about Elton being gay and not enough talking about him being a great musician regardless of his personal life.
    Also, the song refers to a time when he was young in the early 1960's. You dont know when he became gay and if that is why Suzy left him since the song was recorded in 1972, about a decade later. Clearly, he was not gay when he was a young kid since he talks about having a desire for Marilyn Monroe in his song "Candle In The Wind" the original 1980's version.

    Just heard this song on Sirius classic Vinyl. This song is so bittersweet now, it puts me into a momentary depression. I went to elementary school in the 70's and I remember hearing this song in grade school, a kid brought this in for a class party. Now when it plays it catches me off guard because although it's not inherently a depressing song, it's meaning has been transformed by time. It just brings back a flood of memories and I feel like time has passed forever.

    • @jasonrekker4328
      @jasonrekker4328 7 років тому

      That's because it's an audio overdubbing, proof at 2:09. The music you hear was performed at another time and place. Not sure if the original poster replaced the live audio, or if he just didn't have it and overdubbed it himself. Either way it's a horrible job.

    • @commodoreman1
