#Еltоn_Jоhn был против выпуска на сингле собственной песни Benny And The Jets (которая добродушно высмеивает моду на #glam и спета от имени восторженного фана некой вымышленной #glаm группы Bennie & Jets). Но песню с первого двойного альбома #Elton_John'a неожиданно активно стали раскручивать диджеи на радио в Америке и Канаде, где она возглавила чарты. За пару лет было продано почти 3 миллиона копий. А на тогдашних концертах песня стала одним из ударных номеров программы.
Hey kids, shake it loose together The spotlights hitting something Thats been known to change the weather Well kill the fatted calf tonight So stick around Youre gonna hear electric music Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet Oh But theyre so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets Oh but theyre weird and theyre wonderful Oh Bennie shes really keen Shes got electric boots a mohair suit You know I read it in a magazine Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless Maybe theyre blinded But Bennie makes them ageless We shall survive, let us take ourselves along Where we fight our parents out in the streets To find out whos right and whos wrong
Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet Oh But theyre so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets Oh but theyre weird and theyre wonderful Oh Bennie shes really keen Shes got electric boots a mohair suit You know I read it in a magazine Bennie and the Jets REPEAT
