Playing Piano With Elton John

Music crosses generations. I remember listening to my mom's old Elton John record with "Crocodile Rock" on it- yes, an honest to god record, as in made of vinyl. Much as it pains me to admit it, I even remember dancing along. Mom had it from back when she was probably around my age now. And now, my son is listening to it- in a slightly more modern form.
We picked up the Bob the Builder - Holiday Video 2003 - A Christmas to Remember (2001) DVD at the library yesterday, and yes, it has "Crocodile Rock" on it. Performed by Elton John (as a clay animation no less, complete with flamboyant outfit and huge star-shaped sunglasses, after being given his stage name by a construction vehicle). Not only did Will get a huge kick out of it, he pulled his little piano into the living room and proceded to bang on it, sing along, and yes, dance.
