• Deejaydon from Canadanever, cared if it was about anything. I, just, liked the melody, the synthesizer and, Sir Elton's vocals(lead and, bg).
• Bruce Morton from New YorkI always thought this was meant as sort of mock French, probably written in an alcoholic haze after watching a French movie on TV. (The accordion was a dead giveaway, at least to me.)
• Geoff from Brisbane, Queensland, AustraliaSo, all these years (and there's been a lot of them) I was singing this song correctly all the time. Hoodathunkit?
• Linda C from Linda From San Diego, CaliforniaI love this song, I thought I was singing in another language! I’m glad you put it on the album! One of my favorites
• Ray Stoll from CaliforniaAs I SEE it in reading the lyrics, the song reeks of fish! It's all about turbert - salmon - herring - sardine - flounder - cod. Check it out.
• Dalton from Phoenix, AzHave that song memorized to this day! I found another great song that means nothing by Italian Adriano Celentano called Prisencolinensinainciusol. This is from the same year I believe that Elton's song came out, around '73. You can find it on Youtube under that name. Really catchy tune.
• Fernando Gonzalez from Coconut Creek, FloridaIncredible song, heard something once it was inspired by a Beatles song although that sounded weird to me. I literally live on Beatles since i was a child, but could never imagine it could be Sun King.... In the end, there could very well be true. Solar Prestige ... Is indeed a great song by the John-Taupin team for sure... This info sheds a whole new light on it. Thanks!!
• Chezchez from New York, NyLoved this song even though i have no clue what the heck its about. Again Elton and Bernie kick ass. - chezchez, bronx, ny
• Tony from Red Deer, AbI heard that this song was actually a "friendly" competition between Elton John and Bernie Taupin, in which Elton bet his buddy that he could make a song sound good musically, even if the lyrics were absolute gibberish.
