Hey kids shake it lose together
The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound.
Say Candy and Ronnie have you seen them yet, oo but they're so spaced out
B-b-b-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and wonderful, oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine, oh
B-b-b-Bennie and the Jets.
Hey kids plug into the faithless maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets to find out who's right and who's wrong.

I bought the 45 in the 70's when it first came out, and never knew what the hell he was saying.....still didn't know till I just downloaded the lyrics......
I didn't even know he was saying "fatted Calf".......be it sure sounded cool though..
The only lyrics I remember were,
"Everybody's talkin' like em, stick around,
you gotta hear mass confusion satisfy the
sound, oh carol and ronnie have you seen
em yet, oooh but their so spaced out,,,,"
And I was way off what he was supposed to be actually singing

Elton John never really fit into any category.
Pop would be closest, though he had a few
rockers like "saturday nights alright for fighting" and "the ***** is back"

No. Elton's good, but not THAT good.
The greatest song in rock history is Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Free Bird.'

It falls in the category of 'Pop' and is definetly not rock 'n roll.
