TOONS TUNES – Lady Gaga “Your Song”
Checking new and amazing music for The Thaiger everyday with Donna Toon
Toons Tunes for today features American singer and songwriter Lady Gaga with her rendition of Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s 1970 hit song “Your Song” from the dedication album “Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, REVAMP”
The actual original song was released by rock band Three Dog Night from their third studio album “It Ain’t Easy” but as Elton John was the opening act on the tour that year, they allowed him to release it himself. Since then it has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame as well as being listed at 137 on Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.
The song has been covered many times by various artists, my favourite version was Ellie Goulding’s in 2010 which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart.
