Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

The worst thing about earworms is that they can put songs that you Do Not Like in your head. I don’t even know this one very well, but there it is – the harmonic aaaaaaahs in particular. Ugh.

“He always beat me at Subbuteo
’cause he flicked the kick
And I didn’t know”
