Elton John

Sir Elton (Hercules) John is one of modern music's most influential recording artists. His great accomplishments as a musician, singer/songwriter, and performer has earned him several prestigious awards and even status as a knight. He is an example of one of the most amazing transformations in person ever, from a pudgy, shy, Reginald Kenneth Dwight to the third most-often charting artist according to Billboard.

What are the lyrics to Levon by Elton John?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Music by Elton John


Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
"He makes a lot," they say
Spends his days countin'
In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said "God is dead"
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watchin' them fly away

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailin'
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said "God is dead"
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

Was Elton John always gay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, he started life believing himself to be heterosexual, and was engaged to be married in the late 1960s. In the late 1970s he came to realise that he was bisexual, but nonetheless went on marry a German female sound engineer called Renate Blauel in 1984. However, they divorced four years later.

Shortly after that, Elton declared that he realised he was completely gay and was quite comfortable being so.

Who did Elton John get his last name from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

His various nicknames have different origins. His most popular nickname, "Rocket Man", is directly based off of his hit song from 1972 and is often considered his signature song. He is also commonly referenced as "Captain Fantastic", which originated from his first autobiographical album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, released in 1975. His less-known nickname as "Piano Man" is more commonly attributed to fellow piano man Billy Joel, but in reality, Elton had made claim to the name first, in the subtle lyrics of another hit song from 1971, "Tiny Dancer". Rod Stewart gave him the nickname "Sharon", a name mostly fans call him, and in return, Elton calls Rod "Phyllis". He is also sometimes called "Hercules" by fanatics, based from his middle name and an unheard of song, "Hercules", from Honky Chateau (same album from which Rocket Man was from), but is used fairly rarely.

If you mean his name of "Elton John", he had taken "Elton" from Elton Dean, Bluesology [a small band he was in for a few years in the 60's before he broke of and became popular] saxophonist, and "John" from Long John Baldry, Bluesology lead singer. His middle name, "Hercules", actually did not originate from the mythological character, but from a horse in a comedy show he watched as a kid. He legally changed his name from his birth name "Reginald Kenneth Dwight" to "Elton Hercules John" in 1972.

What is Elton John's favorite song?

User Avatar

Asked by Harley Cassin

I recently saw a broadcast of an Elton John concert in which he said of his music, his favorite song is "High Flying Bird". However, there have been some mixed stories on his opinion on this matter. He has said that his favorite song was "Original Sin", and at other times, "Skyline Pigeon" [because it was the first song that he got excited about, back in 1969]. He has also cited "Sacrifice" and "We All Fall In Love Sometimes" as his favorite songs.He has also said that "Border Song" was his favorite song.[I saw this in a video of back in 1993]
