As any artist will tell you, the problem with having hit songs is that you have to perform them.
Even for an icon like
Elton John whose repertoire is packed with pop/rock classics, one track has inevitably grown tiresome over the past five decades.
As he tells the
Deeney Talks podcast, one of his earliest hits is also the one he can t wait to put to bed for good. The last time I have to sing Crocodile Rock, I will probably throw a party, he told the show. But people love to hear it. It was written as a kind of joke, as a pastiche, and it became a big hit and people love to sing along with it.
