Ego is the great lost Elton Song - got to somewhere in the mid 30s in the UK and wasn't on any albums so nobody heard it. Elton goes Sparks, almost. There's a story in his book of how he spent a load of money making the video, and then even more money hiring out a cinema to show the thing for its premiere, and then nobody had any real reaction to it and he realised he'd spent a few hundred thousand pounds on four minutes of video and everyone went to the cinema for that so he just got them to play it again while he snuck out the back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt7xtcD40Dg
