![]() His own 30 studio albums, the best of which he’s written with Taupin, span the gamut from gospel-infused soul to R&B bop, introspective ballads to full-throttle rock’n’roll. He’s also an obsessive music fan who still, after more than 40 years of recording, insists on receiving all the latest tracks and albums on the week of release. Elton John is nothing if not an old-fashioned grafter. In recent years, solo albums have been interspersed with stage musicals, soundtracks and before he announced his “retirement” his annual quota of 120 live shows a year. Folkie types will savour the wide-eyed beauty of his early ‘70s albums, while those schooled in outrageous glam rock will cherish the sparkly superstar of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Captain Fantastic… The next decade would bring stadium bravado, straw boaters and an MTV smash in that most ‘80s of anthems I’m Still Standing, before a new raft of music fans found their way to his music via a 1994 Disney movie about big cats and the untimely death of Diana, Princess Of Wales. Today, each generation has its own favourite Elton John. But then when the 20-year-old Reginald Kenneth Dwight met lyricist Bernie Taupin and was reborn as Elton John, it seemed unlikely that he was ever going to do anything by half. Not bad for a Middlesex pub pianist with a penchant for Jerry Lee Lewis and Mrs Mills. Nine studio albums in six years, with seven consecutive US Number 1s, more than 50 hit singles, innumerable shoes, specs and flowers, and total record sales in excess of 250 million. ↑ File:Imstillstanding jd2019 credits.The statistics are staggering. ![]() ![]() There is an error in a promotional gameplay picture: Sunny is seen to have gotten a "PERFECT" and an "OK" at the same time, resulting in the feedbacks overlapping.The coach’s silhouette appeared in the E3 Song Reveal video as part of the banner used to represent the “Gamescom Song List” playlist.An orchestral instrumental version of I’m Still Standing was used as one of the songs in Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference.I’m Still Standing is the third song by Elton John in the entire franchise after We Were Born to Boogie from Dance on Broadway and Crocodile Rock from Just Dance Kids 2.The cover was performed by Kenny Metcalf, who was credited as Top Culture.I’m Still Standing is the second song in the series to be covered by Top Culture.I’m Still Standing is featured in the following playlists: Gold Move 2 in-game Appearances in Playlists Gold Move 2: Lift your right arm and drop your left arm, both at a right angle, before bending to the right.

In the bridge, the background changes to a night scenery before a rogue wrecking ball comes in and attempts to attack the coach. Near the end of the chorus, the same crates and later a few refrigerators fall from the sky and clones of the coach wearing a pink suit pop out every time the word "Yeah" is said, in the same style as a Jack-in-a-box, before going back in. The background also shakes while the coach continues dancing, oblivious to the wind and the objects. In the chorus, the background quickly slides to a sunset before hurricane-strength winds blow several sheets of paper, some crates, a table lamp, and the aforementioned objects away and behind the coach. After the objects finish falling, the city tilts backwards by 45 degrees, sending the objects and the coach sliding down. ![]() As the song progresses, the objects become bigger and heavier, among them being a ship’s anchor, a safe, an 80’s CRT TV, a metal rebar, an anvil, a 10-ton weight, a wrecking ball, a bathtub, a UFO, and a fishing boat. During most of the routine, the coach performs moves to avoid getting hit by falling objects that come from the sky, starting with flower pots. The background takes place in a cartoonish city, with the coach surfing on a wheeled upright piano before jumping off and landing on the road. He resembles Elton John from the music video. He wears a black hat with a aqua blue lace, a pair of round-rimmed sunglasses, and a pair of black shoes with light blue socks underneath. He wears an overcoat of the same shade of green, with a blue handkerchief folded into his right chest pocket of the coat, and three blue buttons on the coat. The trousers are baggy and bright green with blue stripes. He wears a bright yellow shirt, tucked into his trousers, and with a purple necktie, secured by a tie clip and black suspenders. ![]()
