Which Elton John album contains the song "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters"?
Answer
Honky Château
Answer
Honky Château
The song "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" appears on Elton John's album Honky Château.
The track was released in 1972 and features lyrics by Bernie Taupin. Its imagery contrasts New York City with the emotional perspective of someone observing the city as an outsider. The song is known for its reflective mood and references to Manhattan landmarks and atmosphere.
Honky Château also includes "Rocket Man," "Honky Cat," and "Hercules," making it one of the most important albums in John's early catalog. The record was named after Château d'Hérouville, the French studio where it was recorded.
The title can be mistaken for a greatest-hits collection because the song has appeared on many compilations. Its original studio-album home, however, is Honky Château.
