Comic books, movies, and the German photographer Helmut Newton were some of the influences Bernie Taupin threw into the pot when writing the lyrics to this song. Said Taupin: "I'd always had this wacky science fiction idea about a futuristic rock and roll band of androids fronted by some androgynous kind of Helmut Newton style beauty, which was depicted to little great effect on the Yellow Brick Road album cover. I'm not sure if it came to me in a dream or was some way the subconscious of effect of watching Kubrick on drugs. Either way, it was definitely something that was totally formed as a concept, and something that could have morphed into any number of populist items. Could have been comic books or movies. In fact, I can't help but believe that that Robert Palmer video with all the identical models somehow paid a little lip service to The Jets." http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1646

This is goddamn awful. I love this song, but if I'd heard _this_ particular version of it live, I would not be clapping along. I wouldn't even use this to unclog my toilet.

DaysyFields, I agree! We should have a communal vote-off button that we can get rid of junk versions with...

Why must yet another lovely track be substituted with rubbish? This sounds like a drunken kareoke party.

I like the lovely film °27 dresses° and I miss( since a lot of years) to kid around and amusingly (like the 2 actors in the pub during this track by Elton John for example).... ("Kevin",where are u?!?)
