- Elton John - Crocodile Rock
"Crocodile Rock" is a song written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and recorded in June 1972 at the Strawberry Studios, Château d'Hérouville in France. It was released on 27 October 1972 in the UK and 20 November 1972 in the US, as a pre-release single from his forthcoming 1973 album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, and became his first U.S. number-one single, reaching the top spot on 3 February 1973, and stayed there for three weeks.[1] It was the first song released as a single on the MCA label (catalogue #40000) after MCA dissolved its Uni, Decca, Kapp and Coral labels. (John had previously been with the Uni label.) [2] "Crocodile Rock" is dominated by a Farfisa organ, played by John with a carnival-like sound and honky-tonk rhythm, while the lyrics take a nostalgic look at early rock 'n' roll, and a relationship with a woman named Suzie, which the writer instantly associates with the music of the era. Regular Elton John band members, such as Davey Johnstone and Nigel Olsson, are among the song's performers.
again, this is one of the greatest rock songs for ever
I bet it made Elton John feel proud when he heard that awesome crowd!
a great performer.. i admire his songs and piano play ..still super at 63..
My buddy from HS, Kim Bullard is playing keyboards and synth. Kim still looks great in the hair. Can you imagine being called in to play keyboards with Elton? God Speed Kim.
This song is forever amazing
I always love Elton John I don't why i love his music I still had his CD of him what a voice I really love to met him he is first guy i wanted to met.

For the ppl who keep talking about the technicals and Elton's singing. It's a song and it's fun that's what it's all about. Enjoy it at the level as if u were there.

All of his songs are about the vocals.
This song is really about the vocals.. he hardly articulates in this performance. And the remark about the drunk sound technician is very true as well.
LAAAAAALALALALALALALALLALAAAAAAAAAAA
it is sad seeing how he cannot do falsetto anymore u.u
LAAAAAAALALALALALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The way he slurs every word makes this almost unlistenable for me.
Yep that’s an effect of something called aging
@@jaxoncraig2888 bro I commented this half a decade ago man! That’s crazy, and u responded to it! That’s awesome. I hope u well, it’s been a long five years!
@@dylansauter8780 listen to him today it hasn't gotten any better 😂
I can play crocodile rock on the piano
Wow, Meat Loaf has really lost his voice.
He's wasted
He couldn't hit the high notes because he began to take drugs! Still a brilliant singer though!
sound engineer must have been drunk....
go home you are drunk :D
why didn't he sing it the fucking proper way?
It's a concert. It gets the crowd more involved and they have more fun. Don't expect the concert version to be a replica of the studio version.
pepyoshi And unfortunately his voice isn't what it used to be, he can't reach higher notes anymore.
***** Yup: because of his lung surgery.
DigitalUnderground7 it's called iTunes if you want to hear it the proper way. Songs at concerts especially an outdoor one of this size are guaranteed not to be like the studio recording.
he can't sing anymore but hey
