[Bryansohigh62111]

[Thief555WWJD]

@Bryansohigh62111 Yes, he is. He's married to a man. Got a problem with that?

[Bryansohigh62111]

@Thief555WWJD PUTO

[jimbeen1771]

@Bryansohigh62111 you should just go fuck yourself and kill yourself

[Bryansohigh62111]

@jimbeen1771 why dont you go fuck with him

[Thief555WWJD]

@Bryansohigh62111 Why dont all of us stop insulting people we dont even know on the Internet? xp

[raider999444]

@Thief555WWJD yea faggot

[Thief555WWJD]

@raider999444 Wtf?? What are u saying "yeah" to?? And I didnt even say anything to you. -_-

[30inventionman]

stfu

this guy sucks

[potheads746]

i finly found a song that explanes how i feel

[SkaJamas]

it ssounds like hes saying tell myself rather than kill

[30inventionman]

He is a homosexual

[heilli]

@30inventionman ooooh, you just find out?? :))

[EmperorOfMars]

do it

[redsox4life247]

goodbye

[fallout51]

I always thought this was more of an anti suicide parody. Listen to the words..

[30inventionman]

I think I hate this guy.

[coolestkat911]

@30inventionman the fuck?

[MrFunxy]

Listening to this when actually wanting to die makes this world look completely insane and disgusting... being so upbeat... A disturbingly, and oddly effective approach in song writing.

[klifeproductions]

i never heard this song. i just searched i think im going to kill myself

[FMHammyJ]

Elton John tried to kill himself when he was younger....by using gas from the cook stove oven.....thing is, he left all the windows in the house open.....lucky for us.....

[masterthehate2]

@FMHammyJ Lucky for HIM, moron. Like he owes you anything.

[FMHammyJ]

@masterthehate2 You fucking idiot.....that goes without saying.....it was lucky he didnt commit suicide......we wouldnt have his talent....

Now run along, trollboy......

PS....why dont YOU go off yourself?......

[masterthehate2]

@FMHammyJ Is someone having a midol moment?

[Centi07]

i think i really am going to kill myself

[WillShakespeare2007]

I was actually looking for a video on the best way to kill myself. No guns in the U.K. and don't like the idea of jumping under or off of something.

[simonsinferno]

@WillShakespeare2007 Don't...You're too beautiful for suicide.

[auggiedoggy]

@WillShakespeare2007 : I prefer suicide by old age. That's how I plan to do myself in. ;o)

[Maybe2348]

They were on Sirius Radio?

[onerevolver1]

cocaine blues, I would say!

[Kazent]

This is the most depressing upbeat song I've ever heard.

[mike54220]

@Kazent love it

[the81kid]

@Kazent

i want to sing this to the emo kids

[goocharoo58]

This was another 1 of my H.S. anthems! Played the LP constantly & made up my own words (along with Teenage Idol!). The 70's were a terrific era for music so THERE! EJ ROCKS!!!

[bevspan]

Great tune. I like the tapping and the Honky Tonk piano is great!

[ottozara]

LISTEN: it is not exactly about SUICIDE. It is maybe more like contemplation, and all humans go through this. (!?)

[MrAidanwk]

@ottozara dunno bout you but its pretty safe to say i've never contemplated suicide, see a doctor

[klayzer1010]

@MrAidanwk About a third of my class have contemplated suicide, and a quarter have self harmed. I'm fourteen.

[ottozara]

this is a very cool tune.

[HeavyIronMetalMaiden]

most cheerful, upbeat song I've ever heard about suicide lol

[mravantgarde123]

go legs larry!!!!!

[Supergirl9909]

@stompafly

wow. your mom jokes? thats offensive. TO A FIVE YEAR OLD.

to me theyre just lame, and unoffensive.

[Supergirl9909]

@stompafly

& your a bitch.

[MrHappy818]

@stompafly why?

[crestfallen9982]

This seems to take light of suicide and is just silly and stupid.

[manofmystery26]

such a happy song:)

[whoboy62]

What a juxtaposition of a song with a bright, bouncy melody dealing with a serious subject. Just like Elton though. Great song from a great album.

[michaelsmorrison]

If I Kill myself

I hope I die

Life is tricky

Kill me if I lie

[sonicsteev]

this album blows me away!

[heathenwolf1]

It makes me dance around the room as im putting the noose around my neck!!! LOL!! just kidding. A really great song.

[deathbyaraven]

U R SO special for sharing this music... lv you...!!

[chomsky88]

When I was 12 I loved this song; and actually I was suicidal. I still like it.

[Supergirl9909]

/: this isnt funny...

[technocrash09]

@USubMeUDie I Don't know about all that. I've been an EJ fan since the early days, been to many shows (no dancing fairy....ever) and never heard that story. I CAN say that the tap dancer on this song is "Legs" Larry Smith who is, I might add, still very much alive.

peace

[SuperTrouble12]

not ? i wuz lookin 4 but ok

[hilarychloebelf]

this is too optimistic to be suicidal...

[MattOuellette88]

@hilarychloebelf I believe the point of the song's up-beat feel is to give more of an insane feel rather than depression.

[sweetcopen]

@fuknurface Good luck with that :D

[a303romance]

this is the most bouncy and catchy song about suicide since nirvana released 'i hate myself and want to die'

[92RedRevolver]

@a303romance this would've been released before nirvana...

[mrsmadformadonna]

MATE YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF WHEN BAD WORDS FOR MADONNA CAME OUT YOU SUCK GO AND LEARN THE PLEASURE TO LIVE AND RESPECT WOMEN :p

[lillyheid]

Why is everybody responding when 14omega28ok says something stupid. We all know he's the one who's mentally ill and Elton John is freakin' amazing (: Much love to elton and let the haters hate ;)

[manamutomanamutoliko]

i think am gonna shoot myself, lol why do i live

[rocketloopz]

So true



[Sandmaven]

Who cares if he is gay?? Granted, as a teen I had a HUGE crush on him and was devastated to learn it could never be, but, what the hey? Great composer and his music was a huge part of my "formative" years!!!

[reriolu]

Only a superstar like Elton John makes suicide uplifting!

[fraysherkrane]

literally every elton john vid on youtube has comments condemning or defending his gayness. its amazing the pointless things people will do.

[bogemanxx123]

r u real or not?

[karensoko]

this race is a waste of time

[Ghoono]

JAZZ HANDZ !!!

[HawkStudio]

This race is a waste of time. Truer words were never spoken.

[leohavocsmom]

Hmmm...does anyone else remember a slightly different version? I remember the last line of the chorus a bit differently.

[greaserleo]

same tune as 'The Goodies' theme tune

[MrHappy818]

1 person was sirius when they searched "im going to kill myself"

[ZDROVY]

@MrHappy818 2

[MrHappy818]

@MrHappy818 wow i used to be so retarded... how did i misspell 'serious'?

[janplazovnik]

@MrHappy818

I was :/

[MrHappy818]

@janplazovnik please dont kill yourself

[janplazovnik]

@MrHappy818 I won't... :) Everything is alright now ...

[MrHappy818]

@janplazovnik yay!!!! :D

[Supergirl9909]

@MrHappy818

i was.

[MrHappy818]

@Supergirl9909 me too

[algoAzrael]

@MrHappy818 yea dude cuz the suicidal types need more reasons to hate themselves... Quit making fun of 'em ya big bully!

[MrHappy818]

@algoAzrael i wasn't making fun of them, in fact when i left that comment i myself was in a suicidal state of mind.

[hotstuffohyea]

@MrHappy818 that's pretty sick dude

[MrHappy818]

@hotstuffohyea how?

[kdskid007]

@MrHappy818 A lot of people are. I am, when I search things like that. Thankfully, this song is upbeat enough that it cheers me up and takes me out of the darkest depths of my thoughts.

[MrHappy818]

@kdskid007 yeah to be honest i was too.

[ParanoiaDestroyah]

@MrHappy818 That's how I found this.

[TheGothUnicorn]

@MrHappy818 I was one of them .. But i like the song, ahah xD

[JonathanTopping]

@MrHappy818 How'd you know?

[mclellan87]

Very zevon esq

[keepingitreal15]

Wow I want to kill myself too nice to know theres a few songs about it wow Elton John even makes suicide sound uplifting. If I kill myself I'll be blasting this music as I do it. Is it just me or does Elton seem unbelievably sexy on the cover of the album?

[PlanetJADEwardx]

@keepingitreal15

He looks unbelievably sexy all the time. And don't kill yourself, Elton wouldn't approve!

[JustJessilisous]

Omg you haters a get a fucking life already everyone who wishes death on another person needs to be injected with bleach lol

[tlynch1218]

album!!! i had the 8 track, it happened to be the second concert i ever saw and when he did this song bernie came out and tapped danced on the grand piano. it was fabulous!!!!

[mscharlietheunicorn0]

I don't believe it's just the teenage blues I have. It's more like genetics. At least twenty people in my big family committed suicide. "on both sides of my family".. :(

[24fraze]

@mscharlietheunicorn0 Im so sorry for your family and there loss.

[keepingitreal15]

@mscharlietheunicorn0 Yeah my families nuts too that's why I'm wacky my grandpa tried to kill my grandma what more radical than that?

[bkirk01]

@14omega28ok i would be happy if you shut the fuck up

[youarejustwaytocool]

@bkirk01 girl.

[thescarycarrie]

@14omega28ok I would be happy if you were never born. Heeeeey, I think you should kill yourselffff!

[14omega28ok]

@thescarycarrie Look even he agrees when he sings this he is probably thinking oh my gay ass is going to hell anyway, why not kill my stupid ass self

[thescarycarrie]

@14omega28ok What's the point in going on a video and dissing on it because you don't like it? Are you really THAT bored with your life? :/ You are a pathetic excuse for a human being.

[HufflepuffTheGreat]

@14omega28ok Leave your immature homophobic bullshit out of this. Gays are human beings too. I'll bet you ruin a lot of kid's lives at your stupid little middle school where you talk shit about kids that happen to have a little bit more confidence than you you fucking bullethead. Listen to the music. Give it a chance.

[JustJessilisous]

@14omega28ok Honey dont waste your time with lifeless morons like thescarydimwit there. With nothing better to do then be another redundant moron with the anti gay slurs, seriously thescarymoron save it for your baptist church morning shit contest. We have freedom of speech but why so many people dont deserve it. Good one, you just made a ass of your self on youtube way to go gods messenger. lmfao.

[hg5446]

@14omega28ok  *you're*...Try not to misspell when telling others to kill themselves,it makes you look like a fool. We are not laughing with you, we're laughing at you.

[sammy1339]

@14omega28ok You upload a video of two cats screwing and you say these things? As for how people talk, I happen to think Elton John has a beautiful voice. You know, some people even say his voice is "singing quality".

[JustJessilisous]

@14omega28ok people need to do something better with their time then saying crap like this to total strangers

[azirish73]

@14omega28ok

Please start with yourself inbred hillbilly!!

[mizofan]

@14omega28ok What sort of sad sick life must you have, not only being a homophobic bigot but also spending your time going on youtube videos insulting people's pleasure and a great song composer

[MegaCatapiller]

@mizofan small dick faggots is all...

[banshek7]

@mizofan dont rag on him too much he might kill himself



[MetallicADudE94]

@14omega28ok i would be happy if i could repeatedly stab you in the face.

[14omega28ok]

@MetallicADudE94 What scared of the truth?

[MetallicADudE94]

@14omega28ok if your talkin about him bein gay, then I could careless.hes an awesome dude regardless. and if your talkin about him goin to hell, well then thats just silly because everybody knows theres no such thing.

[Ems15196]

@14omega28ok I have a question for you. What makes a gay, lesbian, stragiht or bi person different from eachother? We're all people with feelings and what you say can be so hurtful towards people. Imagine being bullied for liking someone and you being abused because they're a boy and you're a boy. I am straight but the thing is, my parents raised me Catholic but I'm an atheist, and I don't hate because of love. Do you go around telling black people they should die? Cause it's all wrong!

[Ems15196]

@WHATAFINK1 Natural selection is when the weak die of natural causes,. What you are calling natural selection is in fact MURDER. I get that we will never have a world where everyone is at peace but why should we try to continue the hate. I am a woman and two hundred years ago it would be impossible for me to wear pants but the world changes and we are able to move on from the past. One of the main causes for gay/lesbiian/bi hate are the religions who encourage hate and prejjudice.

[blastoise114]

@Ems15196 amen to that...

[14omega28ok]

@Ems15196 Lmfao You have a top comment? ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I do know how to troll. Thanks mate, You really raised my self esteem of my Trolling Abilities.

[Ems15196]

@14omega28ok they weren't responding to you. They voted for a comment that spoke of equality and all the things we want to be able to see. If your trolling abilities are so great, then take a look at yourself and ask why you have to hurt others to make yourself feel good. That doesn't seem too good for you

[14omega28ok]

@Ems15196 I don't have to hurt others to make myself feel good, Honestly? I don't have a problem with gays. Why should I waste my time hating a certain group of people thus making my own attitude shitty? I was just trolling and fucking around man. Nothing personal.

[phillylily412]

i'm addicted to it also it is so great with it's upbeat tempo but words that don't match the tempo

[mizofan]

Elton's new album The Union, with Leon Russell, is great!

[weirdguy75]

Elton and Bernie have so far kept me from killing myself. thank you both so much

[leesway]

This song needs a remix. Something to shake ur booty to. It's awesome.

[Zlahlers]

Debating: Verb- to engage in ARGUMENTor discussion, as in a legislative or public assembly.

I'm fifteen, and I don't really feel the need to argue with some lame adult about who is a better musician. I like Elton, that's it. Thank you, and goodbye.

[entertainme3000]

wow rather cheery pub music for such lyrics...but i always have a dark sense of humor when I know i'm feeling suicidal

[risycat]

@entertainme3000 me too! lol

[entertainme3000]

@risycat wow cool. add me to your list...we could have some fun!

[risycat]

@entertainme3000 ok! :) lol 

[MUCKSTICKYIZZY]

got this record at the goodwill for a buck and it wasent all scracthed dopest find i ever had

[OSarubiO]

Can't stop replaying this song. There's something about it that makes me feel so attached to it...but I generally love Elton John music, despite my age.

[mobnight]

I'm going to kill myself

[OSarubiO]

@mobnight Seriously?

[t4b5klh]

@mobnight me too

[risycat]

@mobnight DON'T do that :,( you're gonna make me cry :'(

[viperscave]

@mobnight Same here....

[Hemingway271]

Just like The Catcher in The Rye this is as great to a 16 year old in '72 as it is to this 16 year old in 2010

[Menamebephil]

Best song about teenage angst EVER.

[DawnRainWasHere]

@Menamebephil Must agree.

[kirbygene]

I never thought of this before, but this song foreshadows the beautiful melodic hook on "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road". It goes along normally until he sings "state of the teenage..." then the word "blues" goes off on a pretty multi-chord melodic line, just like the word "road" also goes into it's own pretty multi-chord melodic line. I don't mean they sound alike, just the same idea. Love em both!

[wellWTF50]

im gonna kill myself in a few minutes... nice song though

[ijustpostcomments]

I've never really listened to Elton John before - I somehow doubt I'd normally be a fan - but I saw this song and thought it'd be interesting. It is, in fact, hysterical. Cracked me up, and I'm glad I looked.

[pr310nobama]

I am a big Elton fan and the recording is great but the subject matter is undoubtedly shocking. unusual. It's great though.

[ZZLe4Ni]

This fucking rocks.

[salamonetalton]

the background vocals really make this song.this is the best version period.

[americangalbasseyfan]

Fabulous. Guess what?  I used to tap dance during the last few minutes when I was a girl. LOL This tune was always great for the old soft shoe. Thanks, Elton.

[dolly32112]

i bet half the people searching "i want to kill myself" didnt expect to be watching this

and the other half searching Elton John didnt expect to be here ;)

[MUCKSTICKYIZZY]

@dolly32112 got this record at the goodwill for 99cents and it was released on his old record company b4 he switched and re released this album good condition to

[keepingitreal15]

@dolly32112 Yep ur def. right I just suffer from depression I didn't know it would lead me here...

[mararules]

greatest song ever!!!

[mrfivegold]

This song makes me want to kill myself but in a good way.... if that is even possible.

 Great song though Elton John is the king of the piano rock. Billy Joel has nothing on him, though he is great also.

[samocska9]

@mrfivegold Hmmm... well I would actually put him in 2nd place when it comes to piano rock... I just think that Paul Mccartney was the best at piano rock.

[mrfivegold]

Oh how can I forget about Paul yeah I think he is a good piano rocker but he also versed in other instrumental Elton on the other hand he bases his whole career on his vocals and keyboard.

So I would have to admit the Paul is up there with Elton but when you compare their legacies in the field its difficult among different tastes who may be best.

[Zlahlers]

I would put Elton John and Billy Joel ahead of Mccartney. Easily.

[xxxine2009]

what about jerry lee lewis?

[MrScottypippin]

@Zlahlers any day i would put them ahead of mccartney he was good with the beatles but his post beatles career was a total joke
