Crocodile Rock - Tumblr Posts

I’m in a vinyl crocodile rock haze. All there ever was, all there ever is, it is all Crocodile Rock. Again and Again. Where has the time gone? I know not. There is only Crocodile Rock.

Song #206

Crocodile Rock by Elton John

It was released in 1973 in his album Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player

Fun fact: In a 1974 lawsuit filed in the US District Court of Los Angeles by attorney Donald Barnett on behalf of "Speedy Gonzales"' composer Buddy Kaye, it was alleged that defendants John and Taupin illegally incorporated chords from "Speedy Gonzales" which produced a falsetto tone into the "Crocodile" song co-written by defendants. The parties reached a settlement between them and the case was then dismissed.
