L.A. Top Ten Songs: Tiny Dancer (#3)

Tweet

No, I didn’t plan it this way, but two of my all-time favorites show up on both sides of the countdowns about songs mentioning Los Angeles and Hollywood. Whodathunkit? Well, they’re favorites for a reason. Let’s head to L.A., where you can sing along. #3: Tiny Dancer - Elton John See you tomorrow. Listen, you kids are the only ones who thinks that’s “hold me closer, Tony Danza.” When this song came out in 1971, Tony Danza was a student at the University of Dubuque. I want to know why you kids have never wondered about counting the head lice on the highway, though. Yeah, Elton’s annunciation wasn’t that great (I had a friend in junior high who thought “high class ladies” in “Honky Cat” was “hot A$$ ladies” ). Honestly, folks, it’s electric BOOTS in “Bennie and the Jets.” Never mind. Just enjoy this incredible classic by Elton, written by Bernie about his first wife, Maxine.
