The lyric writer for Elton John noted the odd detail others would overlook. We all heard it in "Bennie & the Jets" and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting."

The lyrics for these 10 songs are read by a computer for greater neutrality and speed; hit the "CC" option under the video to see the words on screen, if you like.
