The songs "Daniel" and "Crocodile Rock" both come from which 1973 Elton John album?

The songs "Daniel" and "Crocodile Rock" both come from Elton John's 1973 album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player.

The album was released on 26 January 1973 as John's sixth studio album and was the first of two studio albums he issued that year. It followed Honky Château and preceded Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, creating a run of hugely successful releases during John's peak early-1970s period.

"Crocodile Rock" was the lead single and became John's first US and Canadian No. 1 single. Its nostalgic sound drew heavily on 1950s rock and roll, while the song's prominent Farfisa organ helped give it a distinctive retro feel. "Daniel," a more subdued soft-rock song, was the album's opening track and reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 2 in the United States.

Both songs were recorded at Château d'Hérouville in France, the same studio used for Honky Château. A common mistake is associating them with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, another 1973 album that followed just nine months later.
