ladies and gentlemen mr Elton John!

Did they through this part in at the last minute? I thought it was really funny, seeing how EJ has been all over the tv lately with his candle in the wind stuff. And, he just so happened to show up in South Park singing about "love Gravy" with Chef. South Park is tops!!!

Whoever did the imitation got Elton's singing style and intonation down, as opposed to the warnings in the disclaimer at the start of the episodes. :) There was a tinge of Mr. Garrison in the imitation as well.

That Elton John bit was cool.

I figured Elton would rewrite 'Candle in the Wind' (again!) for Kenny. "It seemed to me you lived your life like a little boy in a red parka."

Never knowing who to cling to when the rats set in?

No idea; I intentionally avoided it.

Even when you died oh, the rats still hounded you. All the papers had to say was Kenny was found without a head.

A few years ago, George Michael covered Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". Elton joins him in the middle of the song, introduced by George in the same way Chef does "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Elton John". I think Chef's line is an illusion to this, or maybe some other similar thing.

But other than that, I think it's all correct.

That was marilyn monroe's real name. Her real hair color was brown. Isn't it amazing how many famous people were killed in the 60's?

A friend of mine insists that it wasn't that so many famous people bit the big one then, but that society only then started conferring "fame" on such large numbers of people. The 1950s, especially the earliest years before TV became a major cultural force, were not very good at creating an awareness of "celebrity" other than through the movies and -- where possible, which wasn't often -- the newspapers. (It's been pointed out that, just a bit earlier, in the preceding decade, many Americans didn't even know President Roosevelt couldn't walk. Now, famous people are scrutinized much more closely so fame is much more abundant per capita.)

Off-topic, I know.

Ok ok, I'll behave.
