Well, Harry, since you mention it, Secondhand Songs lists 118 cover versions of "Walking The Dog" (sometimes alternately titled "Philly Dog"), including 11 instrumental versions, and adaptations in French, Portugese, Dutch, and Finnish.

That “classic albums” doc on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is fascinating. The band backing Elton was so crucial — they provided all the massive backing vocals that appear all over that album.

Hi Mr. Woodson, did your owner open an account in your name?
Avatar 9:33pm

@ MS: will check out; don't know it. That was a good band. Hadn't realized the band did all the backing vox. Kinda like Michael Anthony
