Alphabet Music Meme - Y is for Yellow

[elrhiarhodan]

Y is for Yellow – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)

Ha! I bet you all thought I was going to use "Yellow Submarine".

Nope. This song – and the entire album, actually – is particularly evocative for me. My sister – the one who influenced so much of my musical tastes – got this for the holidays in 1973, and I remember it being a really big deal for her.

Of course, she grabbed me and made me listen to it dozens of times over Christmas vacation. We spent a lot of time analyzing the liner notes (oh, those were the days), listening and relistening to the songs (I particularly loved the eerie wordless opening "Funeral for a Friend"), and I remember being so proud to point to her that "Bennie" in "Bennie and the Jets" was a girl ("She's got electric boots, a mohair suit…")
