Elton John has created some of the most iconic pop songs and ballads of the 20th century alongside his long-time songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. From heartfelt ballads like 'Your Song' to stadium-filling anthems like 'Rocket Man', their catalogue is widely regarded as a treasure trove of classic music.But even the greats have a few missteps, and for Elton, one of those is a 1972 hit. 'Crocodile Rock' was a commercial triumph, becoming Elton’s first number one in the United States and earning a permanent place in pop culture. Yet, despite its success and enduring fan love, Elton has openly admitted that it was never meant to be taken seriously.Speaking on the Deeney Talks podcast, hosted by Watford footballer Troy Deeney, he revealed the truth behind the upbeat track: "The last time I...

She and her friend, Pleasant Gehman, “a world-renowned belly-dancer/ghostbuster”, were using it in an early 80s Los Angeles punk clubhouse called Disgraceland. “We said ‘That’s rude’ and the board replied ‘Shut up sluts’."It freaked us out. I don’t use Ouija boards now. I had lots of strange experiences. I think they can be a portal for weird things.” By her own admission, Belinda, who turned 67 a few days ago, was a feral teenager, agonising her parents by taking LSD, running away from home, and immersing herself in LA’s nascent punk scene.She found fame with The Go-Go’s before becoming a global solo star with her 1987 platinum-selling chart-topper Heaven Is A Place On Earth.
