Musical Interlude: Who Wears These Shoes? (1984)

 From the CD, "Breaking Hearts", comes a dance track from Elton John. Follow the orange brick road on this abstract set as Elton grooves to "Who Wears These Shoes?". The use of supporting players fading in & out was derived from ZZ Top's schtick of ghosting a year earlier in their videos.


And some people want to claim Elton invented what would be called "The Carlton Dance", made famous by Alfonso Ribiero on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air a few years later? Ya might want to do some research. Until Elton came out a few years ago, we could've imagined him as the luckiest man on the planet with all those dancers in the v-shaped leotards cozying up to him..........
