Bennie And The Jets

"Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John is typically performed in the key of B flat major. Released in 1973 as part of his seventh studio album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," the song was written by Elton John and his longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin. Known for its unique fusion of rock, pop, and glam elements, "Bennie and the Jets" features John's distinctive piano playing and Taupin's imaginative lyrics. The song tells the story of a fictional band called "Bennie and the Jets" and their flamboyant frontwoman. Despite its unconventional structure and experimental sound, "Bennie and the Jets" became one of Elton John's most iconic and enduring hits, reaching the top of the charts in several countries. Its infectious groove, catchy melody, and memorable chorus have solidified its status as a classic in the pop music canon.
