3* Elton's stage moves when wearing the WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck suit at his Central Park concert in 1980 involved [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA6gT-QI3dg rhythmically stomping on the ground and shaking his rear]] (the suit had "flipper" shoes and an enormous "tail" in the back) through "Bite Your Lip (Get Up And Dance)", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a301ceauaA then quacking loudly]] through a few verses of "Your Song", at many points {{Corpsing}} at the thought of performing in the ridiculous costume. WordOfGod was that the "tail" was so enormous, he could barely sit at the piano in it.
4* Speaking of "Your Song," there's this bit: "If I was a {{sculptor|s}}... ''[chuckles]'' ...but then again, '''no'''."
5* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LXBI5fPics Texan Love Song]]" from 1973's ''Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player'', an AffectionateParody of Music/MerleHaggard's "Okie from Muskogee" and {{Eagleland}} Type 2, documents a rant between a beer-drinking redneck and a long-haired, countercultural young bar patron flirting with a "cute little thing" the biker has "been dating uptown"; the redneck continues to tear into the hippie with increased, and increasingly jingoistic, malevolence and threatened violence for encroaching on his territory. Doubles as HilariousInHindsight when the redneck promises to "run all of you fairies right out of this town" and rails against the hippies' "drug-crazy songs".
