Diva Canon - ELTON

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Sir Elton is the first male diva to get the canon treatment! With a whopping 68 UK Top 40 hits he is one of Britain's most successful pop stars, and you get an IMMENSE 22 ticks to let the world know which songs are best!

ELTON FACTS:

Elton once auditioned for King Crimson!

He wrote the UK's 1969 Eurovision entry and it came LAST

His middle name is Hercules

When his asked in court about spending £293,000 on flowers in less than two years, John said: "Yes, I like flowers"

Elton really likes playing tennis.

Is it just me or does 'Smiley Faces' by Gnarls Barkley rampantly plagiarise 'I'm Still Standing?'

I am always very disappointed that 'Still Standing' by Alexis Strum/Kylie is not the Elton song. Assuming the Elton song is the one I am currently thinking of... it's got a panano in it so I assume it is.

I didn't manage 22 ticks but there was a lot more there than I expected. I hate Disney films with a passion but I do like his Lion King songs. Actually, maybe we should do film music/musicals canons? The Disney one would be 400,000,000 sections long of course but there is some ace pop on there.

'Smiley Faces' reminds me more of Billy Joel's 'Tell Her About It' or Hall & Oates 'Maneater' - there are lots of songs with that kinda beat.
