"Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)" is a song composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and originally performed by John. It is loosely based on the short story "The Rocket Man" in Ray Bradbury's book The Illustrated Man, and echoes the theme of David Bowie's 1969 song "Space Oddity" (both recordings were produced by Gus Dudgeon). The song first appeared on John's 1972 album Honky Château and became a hit single, rising to #2 in the UK and #6 in the U.S.

- Rocket Man ist ein von Elton John und Bernie Taupin geschriebenes Musikstück. Berühmt wurde es in der Erstversion von Elton John auf dem Album Honky Château von 1972. Es wurde im selben Jahr als Single ausgekoppelt und erreichte in Großbritannien Platz 2 in der Hitparade. Das Lied bezieht sich teilweise auf die Kurzgeschichte The Rocket Man in Ray Bradburys Buch Der illustrierte Mann. Das Stück scheint zunächst die Gefühle eines Astronauten am Abend vor seinem Abflug zu beschreiben, doch die Worte am Ende des Songs „And all this science I don't understand, it's just my job five days a week, a rocket man, a rocket man“, lassen auch weiteren Raum zur Interpretation beispielsweise der Gefühle eines durchschnittlichen Angestellten. Musikalisch kann Rocket Man als Pop-Ballade bezeichnet werden, die (wie in vielen Aufnahmen Elton Johns) v.a. zum Beginn von einem Klavier bestimmt wird. Zur Mitte des Stückes kommen auch noch diverse Synthesizer-Klänge hinzu. In der Top-500-Liste der besten Rocksongs aller Zeiten des Rolling Stones Magazine rangiert Rocket Man auf Platz 242.
- Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Time) è una canzone composta, cantata e interpretata da Elton John. Il testo è di Bernie Taupin.
- "Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)" é uma música composta por Elton John e Bernie Taupin que ficou mundialmente famosa na voz de John. É baseada no conto "The Rocket Man", do livro The Illustrated Man, de Ray Bradbury, e traz de volta o tema da música Space Oddity, que David Bowie compôs em 1969. Rocket Man foi lançado no álbum Honky Château, de 1972, e tornou-se um hit, alcançando a 2ª posição na lista das mais pedidas da Inglaterra e a 6ª nos Estados Unidos. A letra da música, escrita por Taupin, colaborador de longa data de John, descreve os sentimentos de um astronauta em Marte que deixou a família pelo trabalho. Musicalmente, a canção é uma balada pop com um excelente arranjo, ancorado no piano de John, com uma textura atmosférica adicionada por meio de sintetizadores e slide guitars. "Rocket Man" foi listada na 242ª posição na lista das 500 maiores músicas de todos os tempos da revista Rolling Stone, em 2004. Outra música chamada "Rocket Man" (e também baseada no conto de Bradbury) foi lançada pela banda Pearls Before Swine no álbum The Use of Ashes, de 1970. Em uma entrevista na Billboard Magazine, Taupin reconheceu que a música do Pearls lhe serviu de inspiração.
