abstract	%22Rocket Man%22 is a song composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and originally performed by John. The song echoes the theme of David Bowie's 1969 song %22Space Oddity%22 (both recordings were produced by Gus Dudgeon), but according to an account in Elizabeth Rosenthal's book His Song: The Musical Journey of Elton John, the song was inspired by Taupin's sighting of either a shooting star or a distant airplane. The account goes on to relate that the notion of astronauts no longer being perceived as heroes, but in fact as an %22everyday occupation%22, led him to the song's opening lines: %22She packed my bags last night, pre-flight. Zero hour: 9 a.m. And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then.%22The song first appeared on John's 1972 album Honky Château (under the title %22Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)%22) and became a hit single, rising to #2 in the UK and #6 in the U.S.
