Post-9/11, aircraft passenger demands to see the pilot would probably be met with a nice pair of handcuffs, but “back in the day” Elton John was free to speak to whomever he damn well wanted, even if his urge to banter occurred midflight.

To honour this innocent cocaine-fuelled time in music – and continuing our celebration of Forgotten Pop Gems Of Yesteryear – let’s revel in the bouncy goodness that is Elton John’s ‘Take Me To The Pilot’. I can’t find an official clip to save my life, so here’s Reg performing it live in 1992.
