I won't mention the name of my most favorite track, cause it's unquestionably the most Un-PC song Elton ever did. Surprised it's still on releases of the album, in a way.

Let's just say, it's the OTHER one on the record that's most like Bennie and the Jets ... but more rocking, and much more decidedly un-PC.

If you think about it, I bet you know one I mean. Right around ... song 11 ...

I love that song

But I love this whole record, to be clear. SNAFF is my next fave ...

You're definitely missing out. Pretty much a masterpiece.

Of course, the song I'm referring to is Dirty Little Girl, and it's not ... really very nice, lyrically. It's like Someone Saved My Life Tonight meets Bennie and the Jets, sound/lyric-wise. But uh ... angrier.

But it's such a rollicking, jamming, and awesome-sounding song, I don't even care what he's singing about. It's just badass. The band absolutely kills it ...
