Pop Culture Quote Monday
The guys at work have this thing with me – they are always quoting something, usually movies, to get me to guess where the quote is from. Today the quote was from The Jerk, which I didn’t know and it killed me.
And all day I had Elton John’s Tiny Dancer in my head. All day. (I really love that song.) Then I sang it the wrong way…
Hold me close young Tony Danza
Thus was born a new idea: Pop Culture Quote Monday.
So, readers, what are the wrong lyrics from and who said it?

Phoebe! I believe she also called it the greatest love song ever….Also, when I saw Elton in concert and he sang “Tiny Dancer” IN PERSON all I could think of was Tony Danza. It was awesome-tastic.

Stop. You’re making me jealous. But getting a garbled message on my voice mail of <>Benny and the Jets<> makes it a little better.Only Lisa Kudrow could make a line like that credible.

Elton John? What is wrong with you girls? He’s nothing but a perverted materialist who can play the piano.

OK. I commented without thinking and was quick to judge, though I know better.I’m an old man, my first record was a 45 RPM of Bill Haley and the Comets doing “Rock Around the Clock”. For all I knew then, Bill Haley could have been a satanist.Gosh if I know what kind of man Elton John is in his heart. He is extremely gifted, but his act gives me the willies.
