An anthem for those of us who knew we would never "cut it". How could we not embrace this song? Fathers and Mothers who were humiliated by us. We were an embarrassment to relatives. Love this song. More than I can say.
This is absolutely one of the coolest songs ever written. I love Davey Johnston's guitar work on this song. Amazing ~ simplistic ~ nice execution of slap back reverb. Too early for a Rev 7 though, right?
chorus All the young girls love Alice Tender young Alice they say Come over and see me Come over and please me Alice it's my turn today All the young girls love Alice Tender young Alice they say If I give you my number Will you promise to call me Wait 'til my husband's away
ok, even back in the 70s i always wondered why EJ used this pic, i mean come on, his butt looks more packed with depends that my grandmother ever wore. why?
one of my all time fav elton songs, not for the lyrics, but for the... oh fuck how do i say it? For the... boom that elton gave his songs in the early years. Oh god how i miss the boom he gave music when he was young.
this is such a good song. i think it sucks that some people dont like this song just because its about a gay girl. i personaly dont care, its just great art
@TaosZenShaman Honey, he sucked dick back in the day, too. His dick sucking didn't ever change the caliber of his music. Yes, his music doesn't rock as much these days, but he's been making music for decades. One must cut the man some slack when he made masterpieces like this one.
I bought two copies of this album when I was 15, so I could stack up all four of them on my record player and listen to every song without having to flip an album over......Life was soooooo good, back then.
@dorothysue1 i just got my old audio tec speakers back, first album I ever listened to was Yellow brick road. god I am in heaven. they rock he is ..................the best no words.
Almost every song on this LP is a CLASSIC!! Still have it, scratches and all. Now I also have ait on cassette ans cd. Just have to pull ,out the old LP once in a while for "Old times sake". Saw him in concert 3 times!!! Excellent show every time !!!
E John made me feel real and validated--tho i didnt "get"this song when I, myself, was young--when this album debuted (sp?)
I was like why, what, and hmm(???)
Now its so easy to love and feel--wow poor, lucky Alice--at same time--and--its weird being weird looking for the other weird "right for you" people with weird feelings happening... But wonderful
i got this album in 74,my first of hundreds from columbia house records...allthough thanks to my older brother,i was an ej fan since 70....im 50 now but had this album wore out by the end of 74.went and got anouther.....great duo ....GREAT ALBUM
@jhamler....like some of your observations...I always considered Geddy-Alex-Neil of RUSH to be THE Trio....bar none. But, just my humble opinion. Sir Elton has had some quality musicians fo sho. David Bowie was much the same as far as recruiting the best musicians for in studio and live gigs as well.
@TheStuport Much as anything else, infrastructure is failing at the moment. My humble opinion as well. "Al the young girls love Alice". Good music surfaces once in a while. Not of late I fear.
my girlfreind has now told me that she enjoys having sex with another girl. She said if I could find one we can have a threesome . She wasn't even born when this album came out .I should let her hear this and rember they found Alice dead in a subway last thursday!!
This “HAS” to be ranked as one of the top rock albums ever cut! Absolutely filled with great great tunes....I still have the original double album in vinyl and always will!
@jhamler1 Dee Murray is a VERY underappreciated bass player. When it comes to bass and drums, I'd put Dee and Nigel right up there with John & Keith, John & Roger, and Adam & Larry.
@saucersauce John and Keith (The Who) yes, John and Roger (of Queen, I presume?) perhaps, but Adam and Larry (U2) are generally considered the worst rhythm section in the history of rock and roll. By worst, I'm only talking about technical skill and creativity. They can obviously do their jobs. But not much more. PANTERA is probably too heavy for your taste, but THAT was a tight rhythm section. Sting and Stewart were pretty good... We could go on forever, but Elton had a great band.
@AMXhotrod people dont know that? really? how do you not?? well..i guess i know a lot of people who dont listen to lyrics. kinda scary when you think about it. what ideas do you get in your head without knowing? i always try to know what i'm hearing. always been a lyric junkie, tryin to figure out the mumbles
@GordosMama1111 Gotta remember that we're talking 35 years ago, when pretty much nobody came out and the enviroment was much more hostile towards gays. That and the fact 35 years ago I was only 15 and pretty naive to the world. :-)

Alice dear,my husbands not home......Eltie was way ahead of his time.This came out my Jr.year of High school Daze!! And we danced to each and every song every chance we had.And still do so....I've had this on vinyl,8track,cassett and CD.THE best..
i am 50 now but when i was a kid I got my mum to buy me neil diamonds velvet gloves and spit (sunday sun,modern day version of love etc) i thought that was the best album i heard until i got this.
It just blew my mind i have never ever got sick of this album it is an absolute classic
This surely was done during his best years...and this album was/is a classic and done when singers didn't just put one song on the record so they could sell the album. More than a bit ahead of its time considering the content. This and 4 Way Street by CSN & Y and Frampton Live were THE double albums of the time, oh and lets not forget KISS LIVE...the music today just can't compare....just my opinion..
A life-changing album. I was off to college in 1974 when a friend sent me a cassette tape copy of the vinyl (I still have it) - and my whole view of pop music took a diametric turn...
As Sgt. Pepper is to the Beatles, so Yellow Brick Road is to Elton and Bernie.
argueably the BEST album in R&R history?!!!!!!! My first LP I ever owned given to me by my beloved brother along with a tambourine on my 13th Christmas. My M&D also gave me my first stereo system that year(which was equipped with a genuine TURNTABLE kiddies!!) Know what a 'turntable' is?! LOL! My 16 yo daughter had NO IDEA until I educated her:) SCANDALOUS SONG BTW! My mother was appalled! Which of course made the record all the more appealing to me. Then came AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell'! lol
The musicianship on this song and this album is simply breathtaking. Certainly one of the the best rock bassists in history anchors all these songs as well of course the sublime melodies and lyrics. Elton John is a true genius. What an album.
This is a look into the gay lifestyle of England through the eyes and lyrics of Bernie Taupin, Elton's songwriting partner. He made up the tragic story of a young lesbian who died in the streets.
i got to see elton in concert for my 30th birhday and it was great!!!!!!!! at the end of the concert we were standing out front waiting on a cab and a limo pulled up rolled the back window down and there he was giving me a thumbs up what great bithday!!
@fatboy82289 Same here. This was my very Elton John Album I ever bought... Think I was 13 or so. Im 48 now, and this is one of the best songs on the album.
@fatboy82289 Could not agree with you more!!! I am 49 years old and this is a classic album that I grew up with on the north side of Chicago. What memories!!! This is what we need much more of today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOLD.
You can't argue with incredible talent. EJ and Bernie Taupin were a combination that might be eclipsed (that's subjective), but IMHO they'll never be topped!
Thanks for the response. This is about rock and roll, and not about being, "gay" or being a homophobe. Nobody gave a crap when this came out whether Elton was bi or gay. Those who think about this issue really need to get a life, if you don't like then listen to someone else. When I think about this album I think about my time in high school and growing up in the 70's.
You know I hate the word, "homophobic" in that it is a nonsensical word. But I also don't like people that hate, "them there faggots." Who cares if Elton John is gay, the guy is talented just like Freddie Mercury. Different strokes for different folks. If someone has a problem with Elton John being gay, then listen to someone else, nobody cares about your opinion and that goes for everyone that has to call everyone, "homophobic" who doesn't agree with them.
@doggsector I've always loved this song., hell the entire album. And you are quite right in what you've said about Elton's and Freddie's talents. Let the "homophobes" tune in to another channel. Rock on Alice! LOL
@robinshammer I'm so secure in my sexuality that I eat corndogs any way I damn well please. Eating them from the side makes you sound insecure and homophobic.
@moose0drool Yea, you're probibly right, it's just a Texism I picked up in prison that I should probibly do away with in this age of political correctness. The "lol" at the end was meant to signify an attempt at humor and although I'm neither insecure in my sexuality nor homophpbic, I am pedophyleophobic, does that make me a bad person???
Probably one of the first songs about preferential sexual experiences - Singing about being Gay was unheard of back then - Amen to Elton for breaking the glass ceiling!!! Love you EJ!!!
in the 70s Elton ruled the charts and for good reason. his range and style was unmatched and still cant be touched today. even by himself. I was a teenager and young adult back then and couldnt wait until the next Elton John album came out. the music is still awesome.
As a teen. I was intrigued by the homo-erotic intensity music arrangement and the lyrics of this song.

Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of Momma-doesn't-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean

It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know

You can't argue with incredible talent. EJ and Bernie Taupin were a combination that might be eclipsed (that's subjective), but IMHO they'll never be topped!

Thanks for the response. This is about rock and roll, and not about being, "gay" or being a homophobe. Nobody gave a crap when this came out whether Elton was bi or gay. Those who think about this issue really need to get a life, if you don't like then listen to someone else. When I think about this album I think about my time in high school and growing up in the 70's.

You know I hate the word, "homophobic" in that it is a nonsensical word. But I also don't like people that hate, "them there faggots." Who cares if Elton John is gay, the guy is talented just like Freddie Mercury. Different strokes for different folks. If someone has a problem with Elton John being gay, then listen to someone else, nobody cares about your opinion and that goes for everyone that has to call everyone, "homophobic" who doesn't agree with them.

@doggsector I've always loved this song., hell the entire album. And you are quite right in what you've said about Elton's and Freddie's talents. Let the "homophobes" tune in to another channel. Rock on Alice! LOL

@robinshammer I'm so secure in my sexuality that I eat corndogs any way I damn well please. Eating them from the side makes you sound insecure and homophobic.

@moose0drool Yea, you're probibly right, it's just a Texism I picked up in prison that I should probibly do away with in this age of political correctness. The "lol" at the end was meant to signify an attempt at humor and although I'm neither insecure in my sexuality nor homophpbic, I am pedophyleophobic, does that make me a bad person???

Probably one of the first songs about preferential sexual experiences - Singing about being Gay was unheard of back then - Amen to Elton for breaking the glass ceiling!!! Love you EJ!!!

Great party, though. But an even greater album.

in the 70s Elton ruled the charts and for good reason. his range and style was unmatched and still cant be touched today. even by himself. I was a teenager and young adult back then and couldnt wait until the next Elton John album came out. the music is still awesome.

@mardalswar Yeah for sure. But unfortunately Elton can't do this stuff today. His register has dropped about 2 octaves
