The lyric from Elton John's 'Crocodile Rock' finishes with the word 'fun.' The nostalgic line introduces the song's recollection of youthful dancing and early rock-and-roll excitement.
Elton John released 'Crocodile Rock' in 1972 on the album 'Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player.' John composed the music with lyrics by Bernie Taupin, and the recording features a prominent Farfisa organ sound that gives it a deliberately retro character.
The song is an affectionate pastiche of early rock and roll rather than a literal account of a dance craze called the Crocodile Rock. Its sound draws on 1950s and early-1960s pop, while the lyrics mention the fictional or semi-fictional dance experience of the narrator and Suzie. The single became John's first number-one hit in the United States and remains one of his most recognizable upbeat songs.
