Grab your favorite football fan and listen to eltonjohn’s “Bennie And The Jets” on 🔁 all day long! Did you know that the song was inspired by a sci-fi idea that John and writing partner Bernie Taupin had? In an interview with americansongwriter, he stated that “I’d always had this wacky science fiction idea about a futuristic rock and roll band of androids fronted by some androgynous kind of Helmut Newton style beauty, which was depicted to little great effect on the Yellow Brick Road album cover. I’m not sure if it came to me in a dream or was some way the subconscious effect of watching Kubrick on drugs. Either way, it was definitely something that was totally formed as a concept, and something that could have morphed into any number of populist items. Could have been comic books or movies.” What Elton John song gets you in the game-day mood?
