Rocket Man interpretations

Various renditions of Elton John's "Rocket Man" as well as some some unrelated songs with the same title.
The William Shatner has been posted on here a long time ago.




Kate Bush sings Rocket Man
An incredible songstress who puts her own style into this classic.




William Shatner sings Rocket Man
Captain Kirk at his "singing" peak. The drama. The cigarette on TV (how retro).



Stewie from Family Guy
has his fantasy sequence of singing Rocket Man รก la William Shatner




The Spotnicks - The Rocket Man (1962)
This is an original track that's a 60's Surf Instrumental track from a Swedish band who seems to be a cross between Devo, Kraftwerk and The Surfaris




Portuguese musician, David Fonseca, sings Rocket Man
even drag queens get into this song




Alternative Rock band, My Morning Jacket,
does this incredible acoustic version of Rocket Man




Hard Rock band, The Nixons,
bang out this version of Rocket Man




Alvin and the Chipmunks
high-pitched rendition of Rocket Man




Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
do a live punk version of Rocket Man




Pearls Before Swine (1970)
released about 2 years before Elton John's classic and inspired by the same Ray Bradbury book, The Illustrated Man, that inspired Bernie Taupin and Elton John for their track.
