| It wouldn't take the letter I. I tried typing it in five times. Other than that, good quiz. |

| Shouldn't the word till actually be 'til (short for until)? |

| Wow, it's "science" not "silence"; guess I've been singing that one incorrectly all this time. |

| got it all except for "till", i think "til" should be accepted for that |

| I should thank William Shatner for his enunciated version daily but here's another reason to. |

| Isn't there some commercial where various people mis-sing a line from this song? Aside from one other word, those four words were the only I missed. Damn. |

| @guinevere, yes there is and it is a horrible commercial that I got so sick of while watching the NCAA tournament. While it is hard to know what he says for burning up his fuse up here alone, nobody on earth would think he said "cheap cologne" or "mobile home". Thanks for bringing back such bad memories ;) |

| "Listen, I think we got started off on the wrong foot. Stan Goodspeed, FBl. Uh - Let's talk music. Do you like the Elton John song, 'Rocket Man'?" |

| ...and for all these years I've been signing burning up his FUEL....which does make more sense than some of the mis-heard lyrics! No, madam I think you'll find that the Gibb Brothers did not write "Nylon industries, that is what we are"... |

| Even after looking up the lyrics years ago, I've always thought it was "there's no one there to raise them if you're dead". Huh. Oops. Count me among the masses. |

I thought one line was "and all these signs I don't understand"...
BTW: Given Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics used in this quiz, I think it's only fair he get a shout out in the quiz too. I've amend the question atop the quiz to include his name. |

| Given that this song was so famously covered by William Shatner, the quiz timer runs far too smoothly ;) |

| Apropos of Shatner, you should hit the Give Up button with 0:01 second left. |

| Wow. I just realized that I know almost no words to "Rocket Man". I feel like such a bad citizen of the world. |

| Well, I remembered most of this due to Stewie in Family Guy... |

| Of course they've been hugely successful, but Elton John deserves much better than Bernie Taupin. |
