Bennie And The Jets (Remastered 2014) - Elton John

Something about a magazine.

[EssexWiFiEngineer]

Despite sounding as though recorded live, the song was actually recorded in studio, with live sound effects added in later.

Truly cannot believe this song came out 50 years ago, this

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hittin' something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet, woo
But they're so spaced out, Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really clean
She's got electric boots, a Mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ooh ho
Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're 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 who's right and who's wrong
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh but they're so spaced out, Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really clean
She's got electric boots, a Mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ooh ho
Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh but they're so spaced out, Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really clean
She's got electric boots, a Mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ooh ho
Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets, Jets, Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets

THE best version! Just like I remember it- when I was young, and from the actual record!

[rafaelfleo]

Great God and heavens, please! This kind of musician and music never ends! Sir Elton John, A genius!

[Jacurlz]

My Dad played this album so much when I was younger and I still love till this day. As a matter of fact I just sent this link to him and my Mom.👢✨️🎹🎵💓

Today was the day I wanted to listen to this song over And over on repeat.. Too much to count but each time sounded just as good and gave me really good vibes and made my Friday at work at home that much better...probably one of the more fun times I had listening to music besides making myself depressed. Just thought I'd share...May 6th 2022 10:04pm haha

A miraculous song, from the very first time I discovered it.

[georgefrost]

The lyrics in this one are incredible!!

LIVING LEGEND , HE IS SO AWESOME THANKS

[paulandbubbalicous]

Used to know a guy named Bennie after this song, I've always had a thing for when people name their kids after Classic Rock.

Always get a 'Cold Chill' whenever I hear PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM by SIR ELTON JOHN.

[stevecharlemagne]

All time classic 50 years on. Very big US hit but a total flop in the UK at the time, but now a huge concert fan favourite. Candy is the lead singer of Candy and the Kisses and Ronnie is Ronnie Spector. It has everything, pop, soul, blues, jazz, gospel and a killer bassline. Along .with Your Song and Can You Feel The Love Tonight this is my favourite EJ song.

[Mojave]

It' s just as classic as it was in 1975
When we went to the concert at the
Las Vegas Convention Center

[PawtucketPatriot]

When I was kid Inthough Elton was saying Bennie had "electeic boobs" LOL.

Something about a Magazine? You know I read it in a magazine.

[benclasper]

Bennie and the jets peaked at number 37 as a single


That’s just scandalous.

[shiningfalco]

b-b-b-buddy, it's nothing personal

[MichaelBrassMusic]

his falsetto around 3:10 sounds so much like Lennon's

[sonquay]

I don’t know who mad this human being but I wish I was alive during his era
