This is because it's in the same Poll as "I guess that's why they call it the blues" which names this very DM.

I voted against IGTWTCITB because it contains the line "Rolling like thunder, under the covers" which has always made me think of farting in bed. Soz.

"Time on my hands should be time spent with you" is so horribly trite that Dutch oven references go unwinced at.

Yes, hello, good morning. I’d like to speak to your complaints team please. After voting in endless Elton John polls this morning I found myself humming “don’t go breaking my heart” while making the coffee. I now have an extremely irritating earworm and I’d like to know what you’re going to do about it.

Your complaint is important to us. You are held in a queue and one of our agents will answer you shortly.

In other news. IGWTCITB is currently playing. It *thuds* in a powerballad way that I hadn't remembered. TLFZ is definitely a better single IMO.

He has written some corkers but the early stuff is far better IMHO. Liking the Deathmatch so far, top work!

It certainly seems that Fetchies of a Certain Age much prefer his early ‘70s oeuvre.

KTB is still fun, although through my little Bose Colorlink is sounds like the production process involved cotton wool.

So we can blame Elton for the thuds and Bernie for the words? They can share the blame? Good.

Oooh. Saint has an unfortunate faux-Brian-May guitar break. That was a nasty shock.

Are you listening to his entire oeuvre for the benefit of this DM? I know of no greater sack-i-rif-ice.
