"Honky Cat" is a song from the 1972 Elton John album Honky Chateau. It is the first song on the album, and had a running time of five minutes ten seconds. A fast, spirited number played without any guitar, "Honky Cat" is essentially about the illusion created by city life. The song is dominated by John's piano, but features the most extensive horn section on any Elton John song of the time to provide additional rhythm elements.

dbpprop:abstract
  • "Honky Cat" is a song from the 1972 Elton John album Honky Chateau. It is the first song on the album, and had a running time of five minutes ten seconds. A fast, spirited number played without any guitar, "Honky Cat" is essentially about the illusion created by city life. The song is dominated by John's piano, but features the most extensive horn section on any Elton John song of the time to provide additional rhythm elements. Honky Cat reached the Billboard Top Ten when released as a single, but only reached #31 in Britain and did not chart in Australia - though it is still a staple of "classic rock" radio. The song hit #8 on the U.S. charts, just as Elton John launched an American tour, in September of 1972. The album title "Honky Chateau" is a reference to where the entire record was made, at Château d'Hérouville, about 30 miles outside of Paris.
  • Honky Cat è un brano composto, cantato e interpretato da Elton John. Il testo è di Bernie Taupin. È la prima traccia dell'album Honky Chateau.
