Elton John Carpool Karaoke

HOW ARE YOU? HAVE YOU LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW? It's pouring rain and people in Los Angeles just don't know how to drive. THERE'S A BUTCH STORE OUTSIDE. I NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME GET TO WORK. Well, now I'm in your garage. OH, YOU ARE A STAR. YOU ARE A SAVIOR. SEE YOU IN TWO MINUTES. THANKS MY FRIEND. OH! OH! TOMORROW. James: Hey, MAN. HOW ARE YOU? James: I'M FINE. THANK YOU FOR THIS. WELCOME. James: HOW ARE YOU? I'M FINE. NICE DAY. James: IT'S HORRIBLE. IT IS AWFUL. CAN WE LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC? I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S ON THE RADIO.

LET'S FIND OUT. ♪ WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? ♪ IT'S A LITTLE FUNNY THIS FEELING INSIDE ♪ I'M NOT THOSE WHO CAN HIDE EASILY. ♪ MY GIFT IS MY SONG AND THIS IS FOR YOU. ♪ James: OH, THIS IS SO FUNNY! DISMOAT CAN YOU TELL EVERYONE THIS IS YOUR SONG ♪ IT MAY BE VERY SIMPLE BUT NOW THAT IT'S DONE ♪ I HOPE YOU DON'T CARE I HOPE YOU DON'T CARE ♪ I PUT INTO WORDS HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS WHILE YOU'RE IN THE WORLD ♪ James : I mean, when you write a song like that, do you know the moment you finish it that it's a hit record?

WHEN I WROTE IT WAS 1970. AND MY PARENTS HAD AN APARTMENT IN NORTH LONDON. BENNY CAME TO ME WITH THE LYRICS AND I TOOK IT INTO THE LIVING ROOM, READ IT AND SAID, "GOD THIS IS AMAZING" FOR AN 18 YEAR OLD TO WRITE THIS LYRICS. And I played it for him, and when I finished playing I think we both realized that this was a big step forward in our songwriting. ♪ IF YOU THINK THIS HOPE WILL EVER WIN ♪ LOOK AT ME, I'M COMING BACK AGAIN ♪ I TRIED LOVE IN A SIMPLE WAY. WAY ♪ DON'T YOU KNOW I AM STILL BETTER THAN EVER? ♪ I LOOK LIKE A REAL SURVIVOR FEELING LIKE A LITTLE CHILD ♪ I'M STILL STANDING AFTER THIS TIME ♪ PICKING UP THE PIECES OF MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU ON MY MIND ♪ I'M STILL STANDING YES, YES, YES ♪ I'M STILL STANDING YES, YES , YES ♪ James: I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE SUCH A DANCER.

ARLENE SAID I WAS THE WORST DANCER SHE EVER WORKED WITH. Jaime: NO! Is that why you used to go so extravagant with your dress? YES. James: BECAUSE YOU HAVE... YOU'VE HAD SOME AMAZING LOOKS OVER THE YEARS. WELL, YOU KNOW, I WAS NEVER A LEAD VOCALIST, NOT LIKE JAGGER OR BOWIE. ALWAYS PLAY THE PIANO. AND I WAS NOT, YOU KNOW, A SEX SYMBOL. So I had fun with my outfits. AND I JUST WENT FOR IT ♪ I REMEMBER WHEN ROCK WAS YOUNG SUSIE AND I HAD A LOT OF FUN ♪ HOLDING HANDS AND ROLLING STONES ♪ I HAD AN OLD GOLD CHEVY AND A PLACE OF OUR OWN ♪ BUT THE BIGGEST KICK I EVER HAD ♪ WAS DOING ONE THING CALLED THE CROCODILE ROCK ♪ WHILE THE OTHER KIDS WERE ROCKING ALL OVER THE CLOCK ♪ WE WERE JUMPING AND ROBBING TOWARDS THE CROCODILE ROCK ♪ LAAAA!

LA-LA-LA ♪ LA-LA-LA ♪ OH, YES LA-LA-LA ♪ James: MUCH OF YOUR LIFE-- AND I THINK IT'S BEEN KIND OF EXCESS OF THAT-- , OF COURSE ,. James: EVEN WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING-- I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ONE OF EVERYTHING. James: DON'T YOU BUY FOUR COPIES OF EACH DISC? I BUY-- YES-- I GENERALLY BUY FOUR COPIES, ONE FOR THE HOUSE HERE, ONE FOR THE HOUSE IN FRANCE, ONE FOR THE HOUSE IN ENGLAND AND ONE FOR THE PLACE IN ATLANTA. James: YOU KNOW YOU CAN HAVE AN iPHONE. I DON'T HAVE A PHONE. James: James: HOW DON'T YOU HAVE A PHONE? James: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THERE IS SOMEONE AROUND ME. THERE IS USUALLY A SECURITY PERSON ON THE PHONE. I HAVE AN iPAD. James: SO RIGHT NOW, I COULD LEGITIMATELY KIDNAP YOU AND YOU COULD NOT CALL ANYONE. I'VE BEEN WANTING YOU TO DO THAT ♪ LOOKING BACK SHE JUST LAUGHS ♪ THE BOULEVARD ISN'T SO BAD HOLD ME CLOSER LITTLE DANCER ♪ YOU'VE GOT YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON THE ROAD ♪ LAY ME TO DOWN I HAD A BUSY DAY TODAY ♪ James: Let's be real, You've had a few tantrums in your time. YES. James: BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY STORIES AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH ARE TRUE. WHICH IS THE ONE YOU LOOK BACK AND SAY, "Okay, that was a tantrum." I HAD BEEN UP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AT THE INN ON THE PARK ON PARK LANE IN LONDON, AND I WAS STILL AWAKE AT 11:00 IN THE OFFICE, AND I CALLED THE OFFICE AND SAID, "ROBERT, IT'S FAR TOO WINDY HERE, CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT???

AND I COULD IMAGINE HIM PUTTING HIS PAST ON THE RECEIVER, “HE FINALLY LOST HIM. Its too windy. CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? IT WAS NOT GREAT BUT ACCORDING TO THE REALITY IT IS VERY FAR FROM THE GLZ GRAPH BUT IS IT DIFFICULT NOW THAT YOU ARE A FATHER IF THEY MAKE A GREAT GREAT? I LOVE IT. THERE WAS NOT A SECOND IN ZACHARY OR ALIJA'S LIFE WHERE I FELT THEY GOT ON MY NERVES. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M IN THE CAR SAYING THIS BECAUSE IF YOU TOLD ME 10 YEARS AGO I WOULD TELL YOU THIS, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT YOU WERE CRAZY.

I THOUGHT I WAS TOO OLD TO BE A DAD. AND NOW I'M NOT TOO OLD TO BE A DAD. YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO DO ANYTHING. THEY HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE COMPLETELY ♪ DON'T DO IT LET THE SUN SET ON ME ♪ EVEN THOUGH I LOOK FOR MYSELF I ALWAYS SEE SOMEONE ELSE ♪ I ONLY ALLOW A FRAGMENT OF YOUR LIFE ♪ FREE VAGINA TO VAGINATE FREE ♪ LOSING EVERYTHING IS LIKE THE SUN GOING PUT OVER ME ♪ James: MR ELTON JOHN! MR GEORGE MICHAEL. MR. JAMES CORDEN. MY FUTURE HUSBAND!

James: OH MY GOD. I mean, if I could tell my 12 year old that I would do this in my life, his head would explode. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME GET TO WORK. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
