fully 18 places higher than even that US chart resident Elton John, with his new single “The Bitch Is Back.”

The chart success (topped out at #4) for that record suffered from the inclusion of the word "bitch", which limited airplay, and 45 RPM record sales to pre-teens. The "Caribou" album from which it came was a huge hit, and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" made it to #2, and is in the top tier of his hits. (the later duet live version is HORRIBLE)

“Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me),”

I used to love to sing this song and I knew every word.

Doris Day and Jack the Ripper...
