Y'know, before I first listened to this, I don't think I ever quite expected it to be rockabilly. Clearly, Elton John is singing about wanting to be Elvis Presley.

Did anyone else notice that one of lines in this song ("The time has come as someone said To talk of many things May be true But I would rather stick to talking kings") is a paraphrase of a verse from Lewis Carrol's narrative poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" is a narrative poem by Lewis Carroll that appeared in his 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There ("The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes-and ships-and sealing-wax- Of cabbages-and kings- And why the sea is boiling hot- And whether pigs have wings.") ? Got to hand it to Tim Rice, he really showed his work with thosw lyrics! 😃👍

Simba was only a child; he didn't know that his dad would have to pass on in order for him to be king. All that mattered to him at that point was the exciting prospect of being king.

it very much sounds like him. I think you're thinking of Elton John's old voice, his voice prior to his drastic voice change (your song, goodbye yellow brick road etc). he still sings the very same way. I'm surprised it escaped you.

Maybe Elton was pre-empting Michael Jackson's death - i.e. when MJ died EJ became the King of Pop.
