Honky Cat - Elton John (Honky Chateau 1 of 10)

[chambersburgbiker]

EJ is rippin in the Honky Chateau - what a voice.

[Rangersman83]

Hintti Jätkä..

[polycarp256]

gay

[nepats1226]

change is gonna do me good...

[15markeng]

so he's gay..... big deal. does that mean he isn't great? i suppose freddie mercury didn't have a great voice either because he was gay? pleeeeaaaaassseee!

[Theatirful]

Polacy przejmują!



[auggiedoggy]

Three people haven't quit their redneck ways.

[AJB3]

I thought the jazzy opening was pretty cool in this song.

[mrains100ify]

@daking0072001 And what is your problem? The biggest problem with many liberals is that they need to grow up emotionally. Elton's sex life is none of our business, but he did go public and people have the right to express an opinion. If you don't like or dis-agree with my position just say so....stop being an ass and grow up.

[zenphil]

@mrains100ify i thought coservatives have a problem with Elton, noy lliberals--they're liberal...

[Chris1313]

I think its funny that anyone would even bring up the fact he is gay...its totally irrelevant..I love Elton and Always will :)

[ultrastark1]

i dont care if elton is gay or what the uck this cat can sing and perform, even GOD wud listen to him

[TheTater1984]

@ultrastark1 only superfisial pricks who have no taste in music care if he is gay, i am married with a 2yr old, i own assault weapons, i hunt, i fish , i ride motorcycles and i think elton is in the top 5 greatest musicians of all time, ( guess what, im also registered republican, imagine that)

[ultrastark1]

@TheTater1984 well u deserve a goldstar than cuz anybody dat likes elton john knows what real music is uck lady gag she stinks,cher's voice now dats a voice

[seemeewink2]

@TheTater1984

I hear yeah

[ahaetulla]

He sort of resembles Tom Cruise in that picture.

[elvispresley718]

this was a great time for music but then again anytime is depending on yer ears

[YourHeroesforGhosts]

It is impossible not to smile when you hear this song :)

[mrains100]

I am so conservative that i sometimes scare myself, but Elton John is just simply one of the most talented singer and artist ever. Do I approve of Gay...no, Do I approve of Elton John...yes.

[daking0072001]

@mrains100 Who are you to approve anything???

[Romsie62]

What a great album this is. Tho' my favorite is still "Captain Fantastic".

[MrsEJlover]

On Elton's best songs ever! I love it and i am in love with him!<3

[seismicfolk]

Hands Down/Hands Up... This Has Got to Be The ONE Coolest Elton song there is. I'm on a mission to cover this on baritone guitar and capture the whole Dr John/ The Band, New Orleans Boogie-Woogie Thang. Hell, Baritone is like a small piano in your lap. It'll have to be mostly Big Voice though... If i can pull it off. Thanks for the Post!

[whoboy62]

Why do all of the posts of Elton's music have to devolve into a debate about being gay. This is a place to appreciate his music. Go somewhere else if you want to trash gays or voice an intelligent opinion. There are better forums elsewhere.

BTW, his music rocks.

[Oomelgloobel]

"get back honky cat"

what have you said in your life that was that awesome?

[jvlivs2]

Classic!

[gerard1031]

one of his best

[thrummer1953]

The word is syncopation.

[mdcice]

Its nice to have the freedom to say what you think without being subject to to prosecution .

To be free to say that homosexuality is destructive or that it is a good and valid life style. to not be forced to live by the others code

[CrimsonMcTurtleDuck]

@mdcice I think you miss the point that people seek action with their words. Anyone who says homosexuality is destructive likewise will act in such a manner to get rid of it. This can be anything from mild discrimination to outright genocide. I mean, you can see how its not simply the "freedom of words" because when you give people the freedom of words, what they really what is the freedom to manipulate consequences with them.

[algoAzrael]

@CrimsonMcTurtleDuck

well said. 

[CrimsonMcTurtleDuck]

@mdcice In a more blunt example, one can't legally incite a riot or yell fire in a movie theater without danger.

[Levreau1]

so is there something wrong with being gay? im gay and theres nothing wrong with me. just saying.

[wwgt]

I remember this song ..I was just a kid

still sounds great ..

however I cannot believe " Sir Elton John is gay "

whatever happened to it just being about the music?

[travislaing]

somebody should upload a good version of The Bitch is Back, with a album cover.

[nashtndawg]

Happy Birthday Elton! I see two people need to get back to the woods...

[naumnn]

My dad was a jazz dummer, and he loved the synchopation in this song! Oh, he would get excited everytime it came on the radio!!!

[Boghman22]

@naumnn Syynfopation isnt a word idoit.

[naumnn]

@Boghman22 Oh! Haha!! Is that what I said?!!

[billyjoeboomboom]

@naumnn Your dad knew good drumming. Nigel was among the most melodic rock drummers playing at that time, along with Michael Giles, Barry Morgan, and (yes I'm not kidding) Stevie Wonder.

[Moonberry94]

@billyjoeboomboom by the way, you mentioned Stewie Wonder. Maybe it's just me but Elton sounds a little bit like him here

[theradysful]

Well I quit those days and my redneck ways!!!! Love it!! Thankyou 4 putting this song out there for just me!!!!

[shrinkinggrl]

Seeing him tomorrow night!!!!!

[Tokyomewmew626]

Yay!

[blazeon1987]

hell yea hes commin to town!

[ian751]

2 people tried to drink whiskey from a wine bottle

[mu5ic3oy]

@ian751 Good one

[lindaloo77]

love this song...brings back memories of my teens.

[carooomargheee]

Awesome :)

[rizzlejonas87]

Goddd. why cant we still have good music like this. music today is bullshit..

[PamWatson1]

love him!!!

[herethere65]

fuckin' brilliant.

[corp55555]

Fyi Lowerflier: Elton's voice is lower because he had throat surgery in 1987 after he lost his voice in Australia. They removed several vocal nodules (lumps/cycsts).

[thruster37]

Honky Chateau = White House

[mizofan]

I love Elton's new album The Union, with Leon Russell, and Rolling Stone give it 5 stars too.

[DlABL0GlCAL]

This is the only one with the original groove

[antimatter92]

my fav elton song im sorry :-)

[padude64]

Elton John kicks ass

[mcr9311]

i love this man. god he's so great. great artist, singer, and all around human being. and that's all i'm gonna say cause i could talk about the greatness of elton forever.

[LowFlyer1200]

Awesome catchy song from back in his prime. He's still a hell of an entertainer and can rock any house. His voice is a bit deeper but he is getting older, too. We're all just human.

[scottalias]

My girlfriend is bitching about the same goddamn thing she was bitching about this morning...and if you think I'm not going to get stoned and listen to Honkey Chateau you can fucking kiss my ass.

[bkirk01]

@scottalias amazing

[spydey550]

@scottalias get a new G.F. bitch

[dvargashell]

elton is a sellout he sleeps with enemy

[silkcutable]

great tune , is there a banjo or harpsichord piano making those lovely notes? whats all this talk of hate ! jesus enjoy the tune...

[dragoon414]

How could anyone hate elton john? FUck hes so good

[padude64]

Fuck whoever hates Elton John!

[BlueSilverStars]

Well fuck

Screw those WMG bastards how the hell am I going to listen to this entire album on youtube late at night, I can't exactly drag out my record player and put the record on at 1 in the morning... and I DO own the actual record album, what the hell would I be infringing on?

[spydey550]

@BlueSilverStars Early John/Taupin rocks... good shit!!!!

[dennismp]

WMG is about to become very well known. For all the wrong reasons.

[GiantsSB2010]

Damn you scuba steve!!!"

[topdogabcd]

fuck wmg they should be killed brutally for depriving everyone of their favorite music! kill them all

[CirSam]

WMG are the worst people on earth. REVOLT!!!!!!!

[dtpac]

fuck WMG cocksuckers

[DirtyGirlForYou]

Warner Music Group is guilty of infringing on free advertising for Elton John. Let's not buy anything put out by WMG.

[bkirk01]

fuck you WMG

[bewildered1492]

antidisestablishmentarianism

did i spell it correctly?

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@bewildered1492

You spelled it correctly, but I don't know if it's the word you wanted here. In brief, "antidisestablishmentarianism" refers to being in favor of government control of religion. "Establishing" a religion means giving it official favor (e.g., the Church of England).

[bewildered1492]

[MiicanStudios]

No audio? What happened?

[mrtelevision]

The audio has since been restored

[BrianGodard]

Back in the days when Elton was The ELTON.

[seamusinboston]
