“Mock … YEAH … bird … YEAH …”<\/p>\n

Elton in a towering white hat. Bette and Cher grinding it out around him. On that psychedelic set. (Clip below)<\/p>\n

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 <\/a>on Sesame Street<\/i> now! Not in a world where Cookie Monster has to eat vegetables – so he doesn’t set a bad example!!<\/p>\n

But let’s not dwell on such unpleasantness. Let us go back to the clip below.<\/p>\n

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.

Look at Elton singing backup!<\/p>\n
