3. Doo doo de do do, de do do, de do do, de do do do do do do-do do do doot. "Mahna Mahna", Mahna Mahna & the Two Snowths. (This was the long bit, because the short bit was just too obvious, even without "mahna mahna".)

#7 actually made me think of the Smurf theme song... :-P

And the version of Crocodile Rock I own doesn't have any "lala" type lyrics, just real words (not necessarily well-enunciated, but real words nevertheless). Granted, they were sung years after Elton first sang it, so it's essentially a cover of something he originally composed. :-)

I always heard #3 with different lyrics.

*raises hand*

Me too. My version goes:

Do dooo do do do
Do do do do
Do dooo de do do, de do do, de do do, de do do do do doot doot doot doot doot.

And I counted the doot's veeeeery carefully, I'll have you know ;)

fyi you have a spurious "" tag at the bottom of your list (or maybe it wasn't supposed to be spurious).

Fixed, the open tag didn't get copied over.

Doh!
