Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player is the sixth studio album recorded by English pop musician Elton John. It was released through DJM Records in the United Kingdom on 22 January 1973, and through MCA Records in the United States on 26 January 1973.Following the success of Honky Château, Elton and writing partner Bernie Taupin returned to Château d'Hérouville to do some more recording. Many of the backing musicians, especially the horns, were reassembled to assist on the next album.The title of the album was the result of a personal performance he put on for comedian Groucho Marx at a party at his house. Groucho pointed his fingers at Elton like a gun while he was playing the piano, and he responded with that line.All the recording for the album was in June 1972. Right before the end of the year, the first of its two singles, "Crocodile Rock", hit the radio waves to rapturous acclaim. It was yet another potential signature song.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The album would go triple-Platinum in the United States, repeating the previous album's feat of topping the Billboard 200 album chart. It would also become his first #1 album in his native United Kingdom. It was supported by the singles "Crocodile Rock" and "Daniel". "Crocodile Rock" would be Elton's first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Daniel" would reach #2. Both would be Top 10 hits in the UK.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })TracklistSide One "Daniel" (3:55) "Teacher I Need You" (4:10) "Elderberry Wine" (3:34) "Blues for My Baby and Me" (5:39) "Midnight Creeper" (3:52)Side Two "Have Mercy on the Criminal" (5:58) "I'm Going to Be a Teenage Idol" (3:56) "Texan Love Song" (3:33) "Crocodile Rock" (3:55) "High Flying Bird" (4:12)"God, it looks like Daniel, must be the tropes in my eyes"
