}} "Snookeroo" was Elton John and Bernie Taupin's contribution to Ringo Starr's 1974 album ''Goodnight Vienna''. ==Writing and release== The song, which concerns a happy-go-lucky lout from northern England, was written about Starr himself.〔Claude Bernardin and Tom Stanton, ''Rocket Man: Elton John A to Z''.〕 Bernie Taupin backs this up by calling it "a simple biographical thing".〔Rolling Stone magazine 21 November 1974 - "The Four Eyed Bitch is Back" by Ben Fong-Torres, page 29〕 Ringo, when he approached Elton to write a song for him, told Elton to "make it nice and commercial". Elton said "Bernie wrote really simple lyrics, very Ringo type lyrics and I tried to write a simple sort of melody to it".〔 Elton also plays piano on the track. The title refers to the billiards game snooker. Charting as a double A-side with "No No Song" in the US, it reached number three on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The UK version of the single, released on 21 February 1975, with "Oo-Wee" on the B-side, both tracks were taken from the album ''Goodnight Vienna''. The record failed to chart in the UK. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snookeroo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
