Which Elton John song was used in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge!

“Your Song” was used in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge!

The song appears in a prominent musical sequence performed by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, who play Christian and Satine. Their version reinterprets Elton John's 1970 composition as a romantic duet within the film's deliberately eclectic jukebox-style soundtrack.

John originally released “Your Song” in 1970, with lyrics by Bernie Taupin and music by John. The original became his breakthrough hit in Britain and remains one of his most frequently covered compositions.

Moulin Rouge! also features music associated with many other artists, including David Bowie, Madonna, and Nirvana. That broad soundtrack can lead to confusion about which Elton John song is used. The film's best-known John-related performance is specifically the duet version of “Your Song.”
