In this episode, we dive into Elton John’s iconic 1974 hit, "Bennie and the Jets"—a song that blurred the lines between rock, glam, and R&B and became an unexpected #1 hit in the U.S.!

We break down the song’s origins from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the studio trickery behind its live crowd sound, and how it became an anthem of the glam rock era. Plus, we explore the futuristic lyrics that introduced the world to the mysterious Bennie and her electric boots!
