Elton John was a guest Tuesday on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to plug his new documentary, Never Too Late, which is streaming on Disney+.
In between talking about the film, Colbert asked Elton to name his Top 5 Elton songs, to which he said, “Well I write songs that have no Bernie [Taupin] lyrics and they’re very dear to me. ‘Your Bum Is Like a Magnet’ is one of them.”
But then he did his best to seriously answer the question, and chose “anything off the Captain Fantastic album — ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight,’ ‘We All Fall in Love Sometimes,’ ‘Curtains’ — ‘Your Song’ obviously. It was the first hit I ever had. ‘Blessed’ is another one.”
And he added that one that’s not a favorite is “Crocodile Rock.”
They also discussed family life, with Colbert asking if his two sons knew if he was “Elton John,” to which he responded, “How could you not. I mean when you wear a tiara for breakfast of course they [do].”
