Hercules

On Honky Chateau. Elton chose Hercules as his middle name a year earlier, in 1971. Musically, the song captures a Jerry Lee Lewis style. But with Ray Cooper's rhino whistle and Davey Johnstone's sliding guitar, "Hercules" offers shades of Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited," the title cut to an early, favorite album of John and Taupin.
