“Mock … YEAH … bird … YEAH …”
Elton in a towering white hat. Bette and Cher grinding it out around him. On that psychedelic set. (Clip below)
I mean, you just would never ever see something like this on TV now. Perhaps “thank God” is what some of you would say in response to that – but I have nostalgia for those old freaky weird days. You wouldn’t see an orange singing opera for no discernable reason on Sesame Street now! Not in a world where Cookie Monster has to eat vegetables – so he doesn’t set a bad example!!
But let’s not dwell on such unpleasantness. Let us go back to the clip below.
Like: what the HELL is going on?? The outfits! The almost NOTHING-ness of it – meaning: Cher and Bette just jitter around, standing by Elton in fabulous dresses – singing like crazy. No big flashy dance number … Nothing but two sparkley ladies, singing the hell out of a song, on an incomprehensible drug trip of a set … legends. And this was prime time!!
Look at Elton singing backup!
You know, that video is made all the more amusing by the fact that every since I had my hard drive reformatted, all the videos on Youtube play at a faster speed so that everyone in them sounds like they’ve been sucking on helium.
hahaha Seriously, it fits!! I mean, what the HELL is going on?
I love all of them. Cher cracks me up.
EVER since. I’m an idiot.
I mean, really. That video is a work of beauty. And I had just toddled over here to find it after watching some videos of the ’74 Philadelphia Flyers, one of the years that their game strategy was “beat the shit out of every guy in the league.” The Cher/Elton/Bette vid was a nice complement to the zeitgeist.
i miss tv specials!!! all i need is a legend and some guest stars and amedley or 5…who could do it today? Dolly? Tony? Bette? please someone give me a special and DON’T say that clog-dancing trainwreck Celine…i mean who watched her “special”???? Jennifer Love Hewitt??????? what????
Freakishly enough, I actually remember this very episode.
oh i remember it VIVIDLY…a rather formative moment for me..on that same episode bette joined cher in her famous “vamp” bit…if i wasnt gay before….?????
I love how Bette freakin’ CRANKS her arm like shes making old-fashioned ice cream at the beginning of “left a good job in the city …”
She’s so damn free with her body. It’s so so awesome to see.
like all the greats…one of a kind!
