Love this song! I found this : In Barry Toberman's biography of Elton, it is claimed that he prompted Bernie into writing "Grimsby" because Randy Newman had written a song about Cleveland. Taupin was born on a farm near Sleaford, which is about fifty miles from Grimsby. (thanks, Alexander - London, England)

i've loved this song my whole life but was surprised to read recently that the lyrics are rather sarcastic in nature. maybe i'd had that hunch before but elton's vocal delivery of those lyrics is so sincere.

My crappy step father only did one thing right. He bought and played all the Elton John records.

Caribou has almost the exact same feel and effect of Be Here Now the album Oasis released after (What's the Story) Morning Glory -- Yellow Brick Road was just a hard act to follow and it shows all over Caribou, which sounds like everything that didn't make the cut on the earlier masterpiece. "Grimsby" however might be the best song on the album aside from "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me." Still pretty weak, though.
