(Other recent guests, you may recall, include [Chris Martin](http://time.com/4205835/chris-martin-james-corden-david-bowie-carpool-karaoke/) of Coldplay and, of course, [Adele.](http://time.com/4180307/adele-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/)) Corden plays busts out several of Elton John’s greatest hits, from “Your Song” and “Tiny Dancer” to “Crocodile Rock” and “Circle of Life” from _The Lion King._ Naturally, they sing many of these in flamboyant outfits and colorful accessories. There’s also plenty of chitchat between songs. Here are some things we learned about Elton John: * He does not have a phone. He just doesn’t have one. (He does have an iPad, though.) * He’s inspired by Ed Sheeran. And[ Grimes](http://time.com/3206987/grimes-go-video-dante-inferno/)! * He gets four copies of every album he purchases. (“One for the house here, one for the house in France, one for the house in England, one for the place in Atlanta.”) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4211891/elton-john-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4211891/elton-john-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/"},"headline":"Watch Elton John's 'Carpool Karaoke' With James Corden","datePublished":"2016-02-08T15:45:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:46.877Z","description":"They sing everything from 'Tiny Dancer' to the 'Lion King' theme","url":"https://time.com/4211891/elton-john-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4211891/elton-john-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/","name":"Watch Elton John's 'Carpool Karaoke' With James Corden"}}]}] ```
