5. Was about to say the same ... Sir Elton rockin' the keys ...

Unfortunately I'm not convinced this is the actual recording of the performance ... sound matches the studio recording just a little too perfect ... still cool and fun to watch tho ...

6. According to Wiki

Elton was just miming it

3. I heard this as someone's ringtone last spring

I was volunteering at the Houston Film Festival. I heard "Bang A Gong" being used as someone's ringtone. I turned around and said "Whose phone is that?!" A 19 year old kid said "Mine!"

4. I've never banged a gong.

I suddenly feel it best do so before time runs out on me.

Thanks for the clear vision and inspiration.
