Bennie and the Jets

“Bennie and the Jets” is a glam rock song by Elton John, originally released in 1973 on his album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Despite not being intended as a single, a live version released in 1974 topped the US charts. Its distinctive stuttering piano introduction and catchy chorus captured listeners’ attention. The song’s fictional take on the 1970s rock music scene, combined with Elton John’s dynamic performance, made it a timeless classic of the era.
