pittockhq :: Tiny Dancer

Tiny Dancer is my favourite Elton John song, in truth I don't like many of his songs, this and Benny and The Jets make my list.

This version is by geek-rocker Ben Folds, complete with EJ glasses and posturing.

The song features a piano-based melody during verses, typically inscrutable Taupin lyrics during the chorus, and an arrangement that at the start features pedal steel guitar and light percussion but, transitioning subtly halfway through one of the choruses, by the end is driven by Paul Buckmaster's dynamic strings, along with a barely heard backing choir.
