Madonna is definitely talented, but I think Elton is more talented that her, so yeah I would appreciate a collab with Elton more.

So you don't think singing "I may use a little mussle" should have been carreer suicide? Got to hand it to the older generations really there is no words to explain what an utter failure they have been. Just looking at these lyrics just it is shocking not that i haven't known all along but it is just beyond comprehension that in 2016 they're still there without an ounce of clue trying to keep that lost cause afloat. it is going down believe.

Sorry, maybe my english isn't good enough but I didn't quite understand what you wanted to say?

Well you did post a picture of elton kind of horizontal infront of the piano. The video you posted saturday night the bernie lyrics. It isn't possible to make out hardly any lyrics (conciously atleast) but the track contains such things as: 

"A couple of the sound that i really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike"

Switchblades have been banned by federal law since 1958. Motorbikes are grotesque sounds as well it is something of shell shock really for me coz these are thousands of explosions. I consider it major abuse being stuck with these sounds for my entire life. Thankfully I haven't heard any switchblades.

It also has "I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what i need"

Don't like this lyric at all. Never been one for using "muscle" on my beloved ladies who I adore so I'll just stick on my own till I find one who isn't totally trashed by these scum. "i may use" is worth pointing out this means granting permission to yourself to get sex by force i.e rape.

But I wasn't taking about the lyrics, I was talking about Elton and Gagas style of playing piano!? 

This song isn't meant to be taken so seriously. It just describes certain guys getting rowdy when going out back in the day ( before switchblades were banned) It doesn't provoke violence in my case. I can relate to a song not taking every word literal. Elton sings about using muscle but he's in character when he sings, he's not out to actually hurt someone. He's just painting a picture set to some very nice music.

To me artists are storytellers and stories are not always meant to be taken seriously.

You say ' I may use' could imply rape. Are you serious? He is saying I may use a little muscle, this means he is willing to fight for the ' dolly' aka girl he likes. And again it's not about him, it's about what Bernie saw some guys do and he put it to song.

I guess I dont understand you. I mean next thing you know you're gonna say Lovegame is about rape too? Gaga forcing people to whip out their discosticks so she can ride them? I don't get your point.

It really is not a picture that is in the slightest bit good and no music can be nice with such lyrics.

"This song isn't meant to be taken so seriously. It just describes certain guys getting rowdy when going out back in the day ( before switchblades were banned)"

No it specifically says really liked by I.

"He is saying I may use a little muscle, this means he is willing to fight for the ' dolly' aka girl he likes."

Your inventing thing now using muscle isn't whispering sweet lies. Dolly is a derogatory term and this is someone who "needs" sex it is the same dude who likes switchblades. why do you even try to spin it?

 

"it's not about him, it's about what Bernie saw some guys do and he put it to song."

I wouldn't know nor want to know anything about the dude. If it was about someone else then the correct words are "I saw someone" for example not "I may". As for love game the lyrics are not deliberately obscured so I can't conciously decide what I think about them and there is no mention of forcing anything on someone. . It is blatent the sound of motorbikes is obviously being suggested as something people like by the industry who put this dude on the stage.  Im not going to bother looking at any more lyrics needless to say they are mostly all the same dodgyness from that era. Put it all together and you know why we have such a big mess to clean up and why it wasn't music but anti-music.

Sorry we are clearly not on the same page.

All I can say is artists are storytellers and they can write from someone else's perspective. A novelist writing a book using the word I for the main character isn't talking about himself too now is he? They sing 'I' but it's not always about them. Nick Cave sings about killing a woman in Wild rose but that doesn't make him a killer?

You act like Elton is going out on a motorcycle attacking people with knives while raping women when in reality he's just a talented gay man singing his heart out about someone else live for entertainment. What's the big deal about it?

Do you have some sort of hidden agenda discussing this so in depth? I'm really curious cause I don't get how we got this far.

There are an unusually high number of dodgy novels promoted aswell.

Hidden agenda? No I just got extremely pissed off when I read those lyrics and realised what crap anti-music is considered worthy of getting an obe and respected by a generation and the scale of the disaster they have unleashed and basically what I said. Why are you suggesting I have a hidden agenda when it is pretty obvious that I got furious and explained exactly what I thought?

Ok. I never realized Elton was a source of disaster in this world. Are you for real?

I really don't understand why this upsets you so much. Isn't their real evil to stand up against in this world? 

I really don't get you so I'm gonna leave it at this sorry. I like discussions but you barely make sense to me.

Saturday Night is still one of my fav songs ever, and I'm sorry me mentioning it causes you nightmares of the sound of motorcycles. 

Sweet dreams
