Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyes, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the song
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Why a guy from Watford has to pretend to be a septic is beyond me.

Ahh - The Loft! Loved seeing films there
I just had the same experience and I'm pleased to see this post when I pull up the RP page.
Turns out some scenes were filmed here in Tucson, AZ, and The Loft, our local awesome indie theater, played Almost Famous a few months ago in honor of Tucson's birthday. Back in 2000 I was broke and starting college, so this was my first chance to enjoy it on the big screen.
As a cool bonus, Jeff, The Loft's artistic director, led the entire audience in group-karaoke style sing-along of Tiny Dancer before the show. Now this song brings back both magical moments.
PS I miss you very much, Phil. At least I know where to find you when I'm feeling uncool and could use a little company.

Sept 4/84 - the first time I saw Sir E.J.
This was the first song he sang
I just cried in gratitude in being able to see my idol - a life moment I will never forget
I have been so lucky to see him 5 times more since that first time...xo

Another Great old tune that sounds even Greater in FLAC with excellent headphones, amp and DAC!
Sir Elton recorded many classics and this is certainly one of them....

".... tiny dancuuuuhhh. "
Late 70's. Drove down from Breckenridge to spend a weekend in Littleton at a girl's parent's house for the weekend who I had met skiing. Woke up Sunday morning and she is singing/ playing this on the piano. How could it ever be anything other than a 10?

Always love this song
Movie was great
Easy does it
This song never fails to remind me of my best friend :) I didn't know it until he played it in the car one day we were driving down from Germany to Switzerland. He was singing along, so animated, it's a great memory and now one of my favourite !
I have to admit, i never really tuned into this song until 'that scene' in almost famous... it's been my favorite EJ song ever since.
Love Elton John!!
Going to see him next month in Las Vegas, and I believe he's still playing this song!
Mixed feelings on this one. first, it is a great song. second, happened at a not so good time. I was 20 and totally faking it.
Anyone else think the lyrics were, "hold me closer Tony Danza?"
8->9
Hands up if you were singing along!
What is it about (early) Elton John that is always such perfection when heard again? Knowing minds of great artists is just not for us mortals. We're just riding shotgun. And that's ok. I suppose.
Seeing Elton John in Oakland tonight!

But the song wasn't written for the movie, as far as I know. Bernie wrote it about his wife/girlfriend at the time.
IMDB shows TD 'uncredited', I guess the song was so well-known by then they didn't feel the need.
I wore the grooves off this record. Even lesser tracks like Rotten Peaches were way above everything else being written then.

Actually, THIS was the film this song was originally scored for. It fit the soundtrack and the times perfectly. Aloha Bobby and Rose

I'm 14 again, confused afraid and anxious. But when I lay down in my bed in the darkness and listen to this album through my Koss headphones, everything fades away. Thanks EJ for helping me get through my adolescence.

Every time I hear this song I think of a good friend of mine telling me about what this song represents to him as we were driving away for the week-end. Each note brings me back to those minutes in his car and how I learned a bit more about him. It's a nice memory and I like the song for that ( beside the fact that the song itself is beautiful ).
Makes me just the right kind of sad.

Agreed. Seems like everyone I know loves Almost Famous, but for me it just didn't work. I was always aware that I was watching actors act, in their 70s wardrobe; it never felt real to me. The Tiny Dancer scene in particular. As soon as I heard the opening notes I knew we were in for the obligatory, feel-good singalong scene. Ack. Great song though!
Used much more effectively in Aloha Bobby and Rose, a perfect 70's time capsule all filmed during the period in question.
If you were to ask anybody who grew up in the '70s they'd tell ya, Almost Famous wasn't it.

From Wiki: "Elton John has also used Vicarage Road as a venue for concerts. He first played at the stadium in 1974, and returned in 2005 and 2010 to stage fundraising concerts for the club." Vicarage Road is Watford's stadium. Good side last season. Just missed promotion, eh?
Thank you for keeping Elton's good era alive.

No one will ever know how close I came to giving up tonight - and then this song came on, and I'm crying, but I can't give up. I guess there really is a supreme being who reaches down and rescues us when we just don't feel like we have another breath to breathe.
I'll be okay. I'm just really, really tired, but nowhere near as tired as others who've posted at the journals. This song will always be my bright light - that one that beckons me towards a more positive place.
Thanks, whoever uploaded it. You may have saved my life tonight, in a convoluted way.

Hear, Hear!! Named my daughter after Bailey Quarters.
My college cafeteria in Brooklyn had a great juke box and though I didn't play I used to hang out there at lunch with the school's hockey team.
One time, when Tiny Dancer came on, one of the team's really tough guys (I believe he led the league in penalty minutes) got up on the cafeteria table and began to sing along to this sweet beautiful love song at the top of his lungs.
People knew who was at the table - and knew how tough Pete was - so no one dared make fun of this big guy singing this sweet song.
It helped me understand how an appreciate for art, music and sensitive emotional issues like love was not at all incompatible with being a so called "manly man."
Sure, it was in Almost Famous, but what about that episode of WKRP in Cincinnati?
My last gf hated Elton John... I tried playing this album while driving slow through downtown Montreal. She told me to just put it down, yeah, I had the window open and her inadequate stereo on full blast. She has dumped me. So, thanks, RP. Thanks Sir Elton, its loud as I listen...
Songs are not just silly things. This one hits me right in my teenaged heart. Now, I remember... and will be looking for my tiny dancer for ever.

The more I hear of Elton's older stuff, the more I'm impressed. (Never really paid attention to him in his heyday). But this is one of those songs that FM radio simply beat. to. death. Sadly, I can't recall the scene in "Almost Famous" with this song, although really liked the movie.
Yes, Bob, it was a good movie.

Randy Bachman has a show called Vinyl Tap, each week a different theme. From https://www.randysvinyltap.com, he describes the show on Mondegreeens:
"This week on Vinyl Tap Randy Bachman will turn his attention away from guitars and onto another key part of a song... the lyrics. Only in this case it will be miss-heard lyrics. And even better... miss-heard lyrics as submitted by Tap listeners. In print or spoken word they are called malapropisms or spoonerisms. Sometimes the words and letters get all mixed up by accident, sometimes it's intentional. The accepted musical term is a mondegreen. The term was coined by writer Sylvia Wright who recalled a poem called "The Bonny Earl O'Murray"... she remembered the final two lines of the first stanza as "they hae slain the Earl Amurray and Lady Mondegreen". In fact the poet wrote "... and laid him on the green". And so begins an entire episode of Vinyl Tap. It's pretty amazing to hear what some people thought those pop singers were saying in tunes by The Band, Eurythmics, Kiss, Maria Muldaur and Creedence Clearwater Revival among many. "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" and tune in to the Tap this week. "

A great album right in the middle of a great period of work from 1970-1972... Tumbleweed Connection, 11-17-70, Madman and then Honky Chateau: you really do not need much more in your collection.
I love Holliday Inn form Madman Across the Water: let's get that one played.

Can't hear this without thinking of Lily34.... â« Hold me close, I'm tired of dancing â«...
Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and Gus Dudgeon at their Best. Still play this whole album often.

Saw him at Kent State right when this album came out. He did walk his piano across the floor, but he didn't dress up in crazy outfits yet (hadn't come out yet). Great show!
And I so love this scene in Almost Famous!
