I've got tickets to see Elton in November. Just six hours after the tickets were starting to be sold, they were almost sold out! I'm lucky I got one. So, yeah, nobody pays attention to Elton anymore...
And Jr Garcia you should apologize because if you ever read the biography on Elton, he absolutely despises the name Reginald and after his official legal name change would ignore or correct those who called him Reginald. Elton Hercules John. If you ever would meet him, call him Reginald. That should go well.
my brother played this at his wedding when wife was walking down the lane. literally can not hear this song without picturing their freaking amazing wedding. beautiful song for honestly a beautiful couple

This is a perfect example of how love should be. Despite Bennie being a sci-fi rock goddess, the admiration is mutual. Jet is the only one who doesn't try to please, but performs honestly
Honestly, I'd say this is backwards. She's the only one who defers to Bennie. The others all try to take center stage. She puts on a good show for the audience, but also repeatedly looks to Bennie in deferment.
I dont know about "Hands down" I would give it a tie with the '60s, which had the Beatles and the Stones, Motown, Beach Boys, The Who and much much more
DuhAverageJoe honestly, if you look, I think that's kind of what it is. they're all auditioning to be Bennie's backup dancers. true Bennie never really seems to sing or dance much herself, but there's definitely something magnetic about her...
I didn't like it at first. Then it started to work for me. None of the three Officials are what I imagined. Just found them. Brings back memories of when Denver was new to me, moved there at 19 from Arizona. Now it's 46 years later ? The sound re-engineering sounds great. Better than the day.
The energy of that song is totally me. Totally weird, a lot of confusion, something crazy. But it's also a masterpiece, something misunderstood, a lot of excess but so incredibly genius. This song makes me feel powerful and glorious. It makes me feel like Bennie and the Jets
This song makes the air I breath taste and feel like the 70s...win, win situation hearing this song ...and it's my perogative if I wanna listen to it 20 times in a row..😂
HA! I'd listened to this song for years (so I thought) and had no clue to what the words were, other than Benny and the Jets. Imagine my surprise to finally look it up and see it now!! Love it! What an incredible mind Sir Elton has, and such imagination. So happy to see this (and understand the lyrics)!
3:20 - I am seriously impressed with the dancer’s flexibility, balance, and strength! Also, did anyone else think this contest was rigged so Jet would win?

I love the modernization of Bennie! This video makes you realize all over again how incredible this music is! It's timeless in how amazingly funky, quirky, creative, ingenious and fantastic it sounds! Just love it.....
RonnieFriend You have a good ear for music and a awesome vision for the art because this video right here is everything!!!!! mr. Elton John is a incredible artist with impeccable taste. I'm in love with the song even more now because of the video. Do you Mr. Elton John. 😍😍😍😍
Sherry Plumley I love this video and it matches the song . Elton. Chose this and so shall it be . I like it and if one can't understand the storyline In this video after two viewings then they are a dolt. I love this video it's modern and timeless.
This might be the most interesting music video I have ever seen! Not only is the music great, Elton's voice is great, the characters are amazing, the movements are terrific, and I cannot fathom in my wildest dreams an individual being this talented to create such a video.. This video should have won awards, but perhaps it did!

I was given inspiration for at least 3 art pieces from watching/listening to Elton sing about Bennie; this song & video can really get the creative juices flowing
This video, while weird, is absolutely brilliant. Elton once described Bennie as a "sci-fi rock goddess", which doesn't really tell you much. This video, however, features multiple versions of Bennie. But, Elton being gay, every Bennie here fits what Elton is attracted to. Each Bennie is a different idea of a sci-fi rock god. The video may be odd and strange, but the history behind it turns it into a genius work of art.
This video finally captures the essence of the song. These images totally deliver the vision that would have been, back to the 70's. Learning from my precious vinyl and diamond needle, this totally transcends..
I actually really liked the video, it felt very different and much more out there compared to the other videos but still was pleasant to watch and probably my favorite of the 3, sad to see so many people dislike it.
Elton John was an icon....I saw him when I was 15 years old....I'm 59 now...at Greensboro....with my step father...I had the coolest step fathers in the world...that concert was so amazing
Researching more about it i found out the jets are her automaton servants they are pretty much bennies servants and back up band and this was a contest to who would get the role elton described her as a futuristic rock godess
Area 51- please don't tell me that. Just left people to try to live a life after scientific finished injecting us with experimental drugs. Some got away - they saw the transformation and found ways to stop it.
AND THE FACT THAT THIS SONG WAS RELEASED ON FEB. 4,1974 AND THE VIDEO WAS RELEASED A WHOLE 43 YEARS IN MAY OF 2017,IS GOT BE SOME KIND OF HISTORY IN THAT ALONE.💋💋💋💋💋
A #1 hit for Elton John in April 1974. It also hit #1 on the Cash Box charts and in Canada. It went to #15 on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It went to #5 in Australia, #13 in New Zealand, and to #18 in Ireland.
I watched this at first thinking it didn’t fit the song, I also thought it ruined the song but now that I have watched it a few times I love it! This video actually made me enjoy the song more. I absolutely love it!
I am still not sure if it "fits" quite right, but I have definitely had it grow on me to the point that it IS the official video. They don't always fit exactly the story of the song...

@@juliacastro8505 finding many things I first do not like, but not refuse, adapting to what is now, shown, active, or think on it a bit, acceptance plonks in.
Love it!! It's a contemporary take on Sir Elton's original inspiration for the song and his opinion of the current music scene. I can see why he chose this video as the winner for this song.
I love the cinematography in this, the story, emotion, plot? It’s absolutely breathtaking and something that should not be underrated. Along with the song. Plus, this looks like such fun. More than well done.
The plot is interesting. I'm starting to think the competition was to figure out who will entertain her for the next like 1,000 years or something after watching it a few times XD. I wonder if anyone ever asked Elton what the meaning is in an interview. We can speculate wildly of course but I get this strange feeling it has a meaning that only he knows behind it. It's so out there. It had to have come to him in a dream or something yet it fits perfectly in an odd way
I'd watch a full-length movie based on this music video. The great mystic Bennie looking for her backing band characters; culminating in a game-show like contest at its climax.
I am an old timer yet love the artistic direction, hommage old movies and ultra modern/sci fi edge to it. It's genius and doesn't detract from enjoying Bennie in whichever interpretation it may play in your mind's eye. However, to appreciate the mise en scene one has to have an eye and sensibility for it.
Since I was 12 my mind went with the image from the album - some kind of mod/pop rocker chick with three slick looking guitar players holding Flying V's.
I love this. Others probably do this too (so I hope it doesn't sound weird), but when I'm listening to music I tend to make 'mental music videos' for the songs. And all my life, every time I did that with this song, it was *_always_* in black and white. So I loved this even more for that. Great job!
I do that too but this song never had that. It's always been that weird but wonderful song I could never compare to anything. "That Bennie and the Jets song sounds a lot like Bennie and the Jets."
![a-ha - Take On Me (Official Video) [Remastered in 4K]](/img/n.gif)
I’m sure I’m not the only one that has to play this song a couple of times in a row. It’s timeless. A masterpiece.
I’ll never get sick of this song
There’s something magical about it
It’s the “fake live” aspect maybe

You guys should give Elton love while he's still with us.. You the man Reginald.

Elton Hercules John. If you ever would meet him, call him Reginald. That should go well.
Nearly 23yrs ago, I named my son Ben. What silliness that was, he will always be Benny to me.
This is my son's theme song since he was born, my little Bennie is 8 today.

Happy birthday to him even tho it’s late
😣 Really grandma
It's been my theme song for forty-four and a half years :)

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

It's Elton John, so... Yeah
So do I
@Jordan Strasser
😁 Makes me dance
Its definitely not famous for it’s music video
That's my favorite part
This song is timeless. One of my favorite songs all time.
The 70's were hands down the best decade for music in the last century. Let's just start with Elton John. And then the list just keeps on going.
I dont know about "Hands down" I would give it a tie with the '60s, which had the Beatles and the Stones, Motown, Beach Boys, The Who and much much more
Queen!
60s, the 70s had Love will keep us together. That definitely bumps it down lol
70s music is good.Car made in 70s were crap because the emission,gas crisis and cheaper car
60s, 70s and the 90s too Id say. The 80s were a comparable lull
I don't know why, but I think this song should be played in Guardians of the galaxy
David Marin OMG DEFINITELY
probably because guardians of the galaxy takes place in a futuristic sci fi universe with music set in the 70s hence the perfect song.
ne ne ne ne nebula and the jets :3
Would've be hilarious seeing them singing this threw hyper speed. But it would fit i totally agree
Awesome Mix Vol.3
I don't pretend to know much about dancing, but this is some of the coolest dancing I've seen

Nice one mate its addictive. .
Shout out to all the real music lovers who came here after Kendrick Lamar dropped his song, and just needed to hear the original ❤.
Let's not forget this great song was also sampled by Mary J Blige on her 1999 self tiltle album " Mary" song called " Deep inside"
That's why I'm here 😂😂. I'm like this sounds like the Piano Man himself!
@@Zan823 and tribe called quest 🗣️🗣️
Yesssss!! I told my husband that beat sounds so familiar and here I am!!❤ genius
@@Galacticator which song?
Sooo, the song is so classic and so timeless that 40 years after it was released we decide to make a video? Yeah, that's Sir Elton.
One of the very best songs. No sure about the vid but Elston was always a video in himself. Pure pleasure.
To see something as this in 1973 would have been mind blowing,Elton has always been light years ahead of us.Thank You Sir Elton!
Lyrics: Bernie Taupin
Music: Elton John
just sayin...
This is a new video
Lightyears are lengts
1973
The more I watch the more I appreciate the skills in the actors in this video, mixed superbly with the song.
Love it!! It's a contemporary take on Sir Elton's original inspiration for the song and his opinion of the current music scene. I can see why he chose this video as the winner for this song.
This was phenomenal! I really dig the 70s sci-fi vibe. I was rooting for Jet. and Benny.. wow.
I love the cinematography in this, the story, emotion, plot? It’s absolutely breathtaking and something that should not be underrated. Along with the song. Plus, this looks like such fun. More than well done.
The plot is interesting. I'm starting to think the competition was to figure out who will entertain her for the next like 1,000 years or something after watching it a few times XD. I wonder if anyone ever asked Elton what the meaning is in an interview. We can speculate wildly of course but I get this strange feeling it has a meaning that only he knows behind it. It's so out there. It had to have come to him in a dream or something yet it fits perfectly in an odd way
Hey same last name
1972
I'd watch a full-length movie based on this music video. The great mystic Bennie looking for her backing band characters; culminating in a game-show like contest at its climax.
Im so excited for tonight !!! To see Sir Elton John ❤ in Vancouver
This is just art i see
Just now I was mesmerized
This video is so weird and crazy I love it!
What a beautiful video.. wonderful display of human art with no filter
Elton is the Best! ;-)
Muy bueno
1973
This beat goes so hard.
Most of the people here are middle age and don’t know what it means if something “goes hard”
But it does though Elton was truly a sigma male
Alchemist flipped this song really well on Meet The Grahams

Sameoldfitup----I love this quote. I have never heard it before. I will be passing this quote forward.
1973
*** Sir Elton 🙏 🙌 👏 👌 ❤ John *
is a true musical 🎼 🎶 ❤ genius *
whom I sincerely admire!!!
I am an old timer yet love the artistic direction, hommage old movies and ultra modern/sci fi edge to it. It's genius and doesn't detract from enjoying Bennie in whichever interpretation it may play in your mind's eye. However, to appreciate the mise en scene one has to have an eye and sensibility for it.
Here before the movie Rocketman gets Elton a handfull of new fans ;)
Adam Prud'homme me too ;)
Hahahahaha same
I hope everyone is
Adam Prud'homme. Dude, I've been a Elton fan since I was 6.
Adam Prud'homme me too
2023 and only seeing this video now. Wow! Love it!!
😢that’s beautiful
This song is so eternaly great. listening to music is one of the most beautiful aspects of being alive ❤️
This has been my earworm for the past 24 hrs. So what do I do, listen to it again..😂😂
Since I was 12 my mind went with the image from the album - some kind of mod/pop rocker chick with three slick looking guitar players holding Flying V's.
kerpital ok boomer
@@lovelykoiboy5039 damn bruh the whole squad dying
1973
This iconic song will live on forever...long after I'm dead..
nothing beats elton john. nothing
Received VIP TICKETS to see him in Vegas in November for my birthday 🎁! Can't wait 😘
Now I get it!!! 8 contestants and Bennie #9... The planets!!!!
This song is today 49 years old!
Makes me feel old that😢
1973
This slow motion shot at 1:06 is gorgeous.
Big fan of this video
I was 5 years old in 1973 and when I hear this song, and think of a visual, I always thought of 70's glam rock stars on stage.
Such an incredible video. Talent for talent. Laura, Jack and Elton. What a team! 👍🏻✌🏼
*The Costumes are a masterpiece, The Video is a masterpiece, and This Song is a masterpiece*
I love this. Others probably do this too (so I hope it doesn't sound weird), but when I'm listening to music I tend to make 'mental music videos' for the songs. And all my life, every time I did that with this song, it was *_always_* in black and white. So I loved this even more for that. Great job!
lumariadp love the black and white video I have always liked black and white photographs I feel they evoke a more natural sense of connection.
lumari
lumariadp I also do that 😂
I completely agree!
I do that too but this song never had that. It's always been that weird but wonderful song I could never compare to anything. "That Bennie and the Jets song sounds a lot like Bennie and the Jets."
My absolute favourite Elton John song - perfection
I love the Busby Berkely style!
My Grandbaby would live/love this!
