I was a young teenager when Elton John was first popular. Trying to do what other kids did - we (my younger brother and I) developed an interest in pop music of the day. We used to listen to Casey Kasem with America's Top 40 every Saturday. We liked Elton John and for Christmas asked our dad for an Elton John album. My father - being in the military and a very conservative person - was very hesitant. He didn't want the influence of these new rockers to corrupt his kids. But after constant persuasion - he finally relented. On Christmas Day we opened our presents. Among the presents was a small record player. Yes a REAL record player that played real records. We also got Elton John's new album "Caribou". We were so pleased with the new presents and we had listened to a couple of his songs on the radio so we knew our dad would like them and that they wouldn't be a bad influence on us. So on Christmas morning - we got the new album out, put it on the record player, and started playing our new album.

Anyone know what the first song on the Caribou album is? Yep. It's titled "The B**ch is Back". You can imagine his and our reaction when that's what we first hear. Needless to say - we had a lot of explaining to do. But the rest of the album was fine.
