Too bad Elton's not actually playing piano here. For proof, listen to the run the piano does at 1:21, then watch his hands. Sure, he may have recorded the backing track with the band earlier in the day, but he's not playing it live here. Singing live, probably. Playing live, not a chance.
@Checorama A lot of people were fooled. Just read through 4 years worth of comments on this video, all praising his performance here. I think one other person mentioned it, but didn't really point it out.
@tallsandcastle actually he was playing. The run at 1:21 was from the muppet who was playing the keyboards. Of course Elton would play! He sang and played this song live.

This is brilliant! We just don't get tv like this anymore... and Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are the coolest band ever, muppets or not! Animal's also relatively tame in this!! <3
So what if someone gay? there is no reason to call someone a faggot just cua they like guys. Its rude and obnoxious. So to all of you homophobic dicks, I have two words, "fuck you".
How would out feel if people called you a faggot just because you were different than them?
@mikesfreedumlessons Fags want Bert and Ernie to get "married" on the show. The way I see it, people can do anything they want BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. PEOPLE: Get the fuck back into your closets. I don't want to see any of your homo shit, just as I don't want to see anyone's hetero shit, IN PUBLIC. I love Elton John as an entertainer, and have seen him twice in person, including one of the infamous Dodger Stadium concerts, but I don't want to hear about his sex life.
@theoriginalbadbob Yeah. People can do anything they want behind closed doors. And I've been talking about it, and talking about it, but no one seems to listen. Something ELSE that I WANT people to do behind closed doors? Use words like "fags."
@christianolson I'll have you know that I was called a "faggot" by an asshole in front of a gay bar. He was queer and I'm not. What say you to that? I was driving a cab and was supposed to pick up someone there. I have decided that this so-called gay rights movement is nothing but a bunch of Nazi-esque BS. It's a bunch of cocksuckers (no pun intended) who want to FORCE other people to do something that they don't want to do, i.e. watch the bastards do their homo shit in public.
I've had many nightmares as a child involving Dr. Teeth. Still don't trust him to this day. Scares me. Don't like him. And that blue asshole on saxophone doesn't help either...
the piano in this performance for this song is the best of every version that Elton or anyone else perform.....i must learn all the riffs...is there anyone that can help?
just listen to it and hit pause afte a phrase, then try to figure out the phrase by ear. do not stop until you have something that resembles what you're hearing (some parts are just inaudible). be patient and do that for the whole song.
i'd do it for you and transcribe it, but that's a lot of work, and you have good enough ears. (otherwise you'd not have noticed how awesome that part is. :)
@888ingga: Funnily enough Sir Elton was an Oz fan & Henson himself said that L. Frank Baum was one of inspirations, much like Charles M. Shulz's Peanuts. So naturally, given her roles on You're A Good Man Charlie Brown (Sally) & Wicked (G[a]linda), I wouldn't put it past Kristina Chenoweth to be with the returning Muppets, like Margaret Hamilton--the true original Elphaba, since it is she from the 1939 MGM classic who Maguire was inspired by for Wicked penning in 1995--before her!
muppets r the best thing ever, also elton john, he really knows how to play a piano, so i dont know y some ppl dislike this video. its old but this is gonna be in some ppl hearts includin me, so put nice comments ppl!!!:D
I found this awesome Miss Piggy ringtone! If you love the pig-frog romance, this is for you. Hit up amazon and search for "Deblume Miss Piggy"or type "Miss Piggy Deblume" into itunes ringtones on your iPhone.
no, fuck you, my cum guzzling ass molester, because elton john is an asshole who writes the same song 50 fucking times, and calls them different. the only reason elton john is living, is because he had people like bob dylan and john lennon to suck creativness from. and if i live in a portapotty, then how the hell do i have a basement?
@15speeda Excuse me, but why are you being so incredibly rude and if you hate Elton John so much (Godde only knows why.) then why are you watching his vids? I generally void vids I don't care for. Have you nothing better to do?
congratulations, you've figured it out, most of it. i also avoid videos i hate, i just do this to practice for my debate team, and i already told why i hate elton john. as far as this video in particular, i just chose it after watching some random videos
Love the way Dr. Teeth turns around at 2:00 to make some adjustment to his synthetizer. This show was great, full of small details that were wonderful to watch...when you were able to see them...
@tmtmoormr Go find the Elderberry Wine video, I have arranged to go back, you are invited. I am planning the trip, it is all just a bit of fun for Elton's fans. It is a busload for sure.
dsl on the fritz and I have to find this. Anyway... don't need to hear all of it to remember how it is and goes. I know much is owed to Mr. Taupin here, but the music itself is quite perfect. If Elton John had written nothing else, his name might yet live on in the annals of great songwriters of the 20th century.
The song was written by Bernie Taupin, music composed by Elton John. You might rephrase the comment to read "Bernie is such a poet, and Elton is a genius at the pinao". Just a suggestion.
@zoso7979 Bernie is a poet, no doubt, but this is really about Elton John, just as much as the credit for finest movies go to the director or actors when it's the writer who created the story.
At first I was like "Hey he missed a verse!" Then I remembered the verse contained the line "It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to get you on your feet again" and I was like "Oh, right. 70's TV, family show, gotcha."
This is so cool. The world will never see a fun show like this again. Hilarious, trippy, out there puppet characters & great entertainers like Elton coming on, really getting into the spirit of it all, exposing the world to great music. This show was & always will be very special.
The puppeteers have small monitors on which they can see the muppet they're operating from the camera's POV to make sure they're performing correctly.
good times, I remember that.In brasil was 35 years ,but the time pass ,but, remember , oh is so good !obrigado por postarem ,recordei meus tempos de garoto.
This is a great song and a great performance. Probably my favorite Elton John song of all time. I noticed that the comment in this comments section that received the most thumbs up stated that "Elton John is such a poet...", but it should be noted that Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to this song and many of Elton John's other songs during this time period in Elton's career. Elton John and Bernie Taupin were viewed as a sort of a songwriting team and they sure made for a great songwriting team.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
i'm going though a really shit time at the moment with no work or money but hell, watching this has made me so happy even if its just for a moment, big cheers...
He is a poet, he is the musician....he has a writer he has been working with for years, you can look it up....he doesn't write any lyrics, he writes the notes, and is the face...his partner has been working with him since the beginning....music and lyrics :)
@plaidcarogemm This reminds me of the Christmas album they did. I used to call it "John Denver and the Other Muppets". Some singers just fit right in. Young Elton was one, also.
wow, when i clicked this video, i thought that i would be hearing bennie. it feels kinda weird hearing this on the muppets. ive gone thought alot and this song always seem to help me make it though. i guess its good to know that kids can relate to a song that helps you to make it through. UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA
I dont care if hes gay, hes still a good musician. Hes been through so many tough times, give this guy credit he escaped death 2 times from drugs and deppression.
Everybody talks about Elton and forgets that the Muppets did a bang-up job backing him up on this one. Come on, man. Give credit where credit is due. Just kidding!!! Elton rocks!!!
@mrclassickids well, that's a little debatable. He did write the music, in collaboration with Tim Rice, but he isn't actually in the movie itself. I don't think he even performed any of the songs, though of course he did perform in promotional videos
I hate to break the news to you. But Elton wrote the music, sang & played the song. That's 3 to Bernies 1. Your acting like he's nothing & didn't contribute. I certainly don't want to diminish Bernie & turn this in to a contest. Their a team & equally important. Don't diminish Elton's role in this, ever. He is THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

He is a poet, he is the musician....he has a writer he has been working with for years, you can look it up....he doesn't write any lyrics, he writes the notes, and is the face...his partner has been working with him since the beginning....music and lyrics :)

If I didn't watch the Muppets as a kid, I wouldn't know any of Elton Johns songs. He's amazing live xD

Muppets and Elton John. Doesn't it seem like it was paired by heaven? :)

@plaidcarogemm This reminds me of the Christmas album they did. I used to call it "John Denver and the Other Muppets". Some singers just fit right in. Young Elton was one, also.

wow, when i clicked this video, i thought that i would be hearing bennie. it feels kinda weird hearing this on the muppets. ive gone thought alot and this song always seem to help me make it though. i guess its good to know that kids can relate to a song that helps you to make it through.

Everybody talks about Elton and forgets that the Muppets did a bang-up job backing him up on this one. Come on, man. Give credit where credit is due. Just kidding!!! Elton rocks!!!

@mrclassickids well, that's a little debatable. He did write the music, in collaboration with Tim Rice, but he isn't actually in the movie itself. I don't think he even performed any of the songs, though of course he did perform in promotional videos

If you are a devotee of 'seventies music, then check out the book, 'An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s' by Johnny Zero.

I hate to break the news to you. But Elton wrote the music, sang & played the song. That's 3 to Bernies 1. Your acting like he's nothing & didn't contribute. I certainly don't want to diminish Bernie & turn this in to a contest. Their a team & equally important. Don't diminish Elton's role in this, ever. He is THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!
