3 of the Best, Most Unexpected, or Legendary Covers of Elton John Classics
Revisit three of them, below. Here are three of the best, most unexpected, or legendary cover of John classics.
Elton Johnâs catalog is comprised of some of rockâs greatest hits. His legend status was cemented early on in his career, as he and Bernie Taupin started writing instant classics. That reputation has held up for generations, prompting countless artists to cover some of his name-making hits. Revisit three of them, below. Here are three of the best, most unexpected, or legendary covers of John classics.
There isnât a single song Aretha Franklin couldnât improve upon. We truly canât think of a time when she stepped behind the microphone and disappointed. She definitely didnât disappoint with her cover of Johnâs âBorder Song.â Featured on her gospel-tinged album, Young, Gifted and Black, Franklin meditates on this songâs hidden message: love and acceptance of all. Franklin managed to take a powerful song and make it even more so. While we will always love Johnâs original take, we could hardly call Franklinâs a coverâit seems far too personal for her.
Holy Moses, I have been removedI have seen the spectre, he has been here tooDistant cousin from down the lineBrand of people who ainât my kindHoly Moses, I have been removed
Kate Bush adds a charmingly weird layer to every song she touches. Her version of âRocket Manâ is definitely set apart from the original, but it is just as replayable. Bush makes her mark on this John cover, adding in tones that largely only she has been able to make work in popular music. If we didnât know any better, weâd think this was a Bush original.
She packed my bags last night, pre-flightZero hour, 9 a.m.And Iâm gonna be high as a kite by thenI miss the Earth so much, I miss my wifeItâs lonely out in spaceOn such a timeless flight
While the two former covers were unmistakably intended to pay homage to John and his musical efforts, the intentions behind this final John cover are a little less clear. With the help of Biz Markie, the Beastie Boys delivered a confusing John cover, complete with flubbed lyrics and a less than flattering impression of the original singerâat least thatâs how it seems from the outside looking in. Nevertheless, this is a testament to how far reaching Johnâs music is. Even artists who have very little to do with him acknowledge his impact on pop culture.
Hey kids, shake it loose togetherThe spotlightâs hittinâ somethinâThatâs been known to change the weatherWeâll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick aroundYouâre gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound
