Even some of the biggest rock songs of all time can become displeasing to an artist over many years of performing. For Elton John, there s one song he s seriously over: his 1972 smash hit Crocodile Rock.
“The last time I have to sing ‘Crocodile Rock,’ I will probably throw a party, the singer said in a new episode of the
Deeney Talks podcast. But people love to hear it. It was written as a kind of joke, as a pastiche, and it became a big hit and people love to sing along with it.”
Knowing the song is a fan favorite at his concerts, John did note that he would continue to play the song until his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour tour ends in 2023.

He continued: “I don’t mind not being able to get away from Your Song because it is a really nice song and I never get fed up singing it.
On not being comfortable with himself on screen, he said: “I never watch a show I have done or a television show I’ve been on because for years I just don’t like to look at myself.
“I just don’t have a good body image kind of thing and it has been part of me ever since I have been a kid.
“When I saw Rocketman, it was very emotional for me as it looked like me and it sounded like me.
Sir Elton John has quipped that he will "throw a party" when he never has to play 'Crocodile Rock' again and has said he won't perform the hit once his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour ends.
