Elton John: "The Bitch Is Back"
The Hook: Elton: "Don't Look at me."
Album: Caribou
Year: 1974
Writer: Elton John and Bernie Taupin
Stats: The second single off Caribou, it peaked at number-4 on the Billboard Hot 100
The Background: Taupin may have had someone specific in mind when he wrote the lyrics, but Elton insists it wasn't him.
Elton John on whether “The Bitch Is Back” is about him. OC:…there wasn’t. :10
”No absolutely not. I don’t think we’ve ever written a personal song about anybody. There’s no sort of second meaning to ‘The Bitch Is Back’ at all. Maybe I’m wrong, you’d have to ask Taupin, but I’m sure there wasn’t.”
