I vote CLASSIC - Elton's last classic single, with a giant-sized hook that's irresistible enough to override the severely cornball lyrics. You?

I HATE THIS SONG SO MUCH. Only post-1992 single of Elton's worth a damn is "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore", and his last really good single is "Club At The End Of The Street".

Anything on the Lion King soundtrack: classic. Although I will say that Elton's tracks on the album were a bit redundant (I always preferred the movie versions).

it's quite distinct, there's no whiff of 'toss-off' one gets from, say, Phil Collins soundtracks. which might make it more or less annoying depending on your pov

Elton's last classic single: "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That."

It's alright but it's the weakest Elton song on that soundtrack.

Largely unmemorable.

Can't get past the Tim Rice lyrics. Severe dud.
