Con este post,me termino de recibir de cursi

"Tiny Dancer" is a 1971 song by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It appears on John's fourth album, Madman Across the Water.
The song was written about Taupin's then-girlfriend Maxine Feibelman, a dancer who had accompanied John and Taupin on their first tour of America in 1970. She would later become Taupin's wife the following year.


The song received an additional boost in popularity in 2000 after appearing in a scene in the Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous, in which it is played over the sound system of a tour bus as everyone is sitting tensely after the band's lead guitarist publicly embarrassed other bus passengers. As the song plays, no one is able to resist the urge to sing along to the chorus, and the riders reconcile. John has attested to the film's popularization of the song, saying in 2004, "I hadn't played it much until Cameron Crowe put it in Almost Famous. [Now] we get more requests for it than anything else." An instrumental reprise, performed by Nancy Wilson of Heart (Cameron Crowe's wife, who did the score for the film), is heard at the end of the movie when Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) visits William Miller (Patrick Fugit) at his home.

"Tiny Dancer" has been covered by Lani Hall in the 1970s, by John Frusciante since the early 1990s (when playing a solo with the Red Hot Chili Peppers), by Dave Grohl on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, by Ben Folds on his 2002 album Ben Folds Live, and by Tim McGraw in 2002 on Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors. McGraw also performed the song with John at the 2002 American Music Awards.
