A month ago I mentioned Elton John very briefly in my post about Bob Dylan's 'Blowing in the Wind' and thought it was about time that I featured one of his songs. I'm going to admit, I grew up listening to very little of Elton John, knowing only really 'The Lion King' soundtrack and what I heard in an episode of 'The Vicar of Dibley' and later on, I furthered my knowledge with the soundtrack of 'Gnomeo and Juliet' (which is a great movie).
Since then, I have built a small collection of his songs (I only have eight, but one day, it will grow). Alongside 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', 'Your song' and 'Rocket Man', one of my other favourites and possible my ultimate favourite, is 'Tiny Dancer'. The reason why I chose to write about this song in particular is because yesterday I re-watched 'Love, Rosie' where it is featured. I remember the first time I watched the movie and heard the song, I vaguely recognised it and thought it was brilliant. But I had absolutely no idea what it was called and couldn't remember any of the lyrics and I kept on asking people if they knew the song that went like "da da da da dada daaaaa" and I got very blank faces or very amused faces as a response. It only happened by chance when one of my friends gave me a couple Elton John songs and I listened to 'Tiny Dancer' and I literally jumped out of my seat and shouted "THIS IS THE SONG!!!!" I was really excited to finally find it and listen to it again.
So here it is, 'Tiny Dancer', which is a great song that is an absolute classic and I'm sure if you don't recognise the name (like I didn't), you'll definitely recognise the tune...
