"Crocodile Rock" is a song written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and recorded in 1972
Well OK, but what’s the connection with Australia - apart from a crocodile?
The song was inspired by John's discovery of leading Australian band Daddy Cool and their hit single "Eagle Rock", which was the most successful Australian single of the early 1970s (with 1,000,000 sold), remaining at No.1 for a record of 10 weeks. John heard the song and the group on his 1972 Australian tour and was greatly impressed by it. Played here by Campbelltown City Band, Adelaide, South Australia and conducted by Al Kidney
