Big Dipper

Elton John

Transposer:

Author’s Note - Fun song to sing if you try it camp-fire style. From "A Single Man" 1978               - https://youtu.be/EeeElCjiaPc [Intro] [Verse 1] Now I saw you talking to a cute little slip of a sailor And it looked at first like the whole thing would end as a failure He had a thing about a quarter to four and he just couldn’t handle any more He’s got his own big dipper so he won’t be needing your big dipper He’s got his own big dipper and he won’t be needing yours [Verse 2] So you filled him up with all kinds of stuff to relax him And you took him down to the fairground after some action And by around about a quarter to six you found a different way to get your kicks Up on the real big dipper where you tried an few new tricks big dipper Up on a great big dipper did you learn a few new licks [Instrumental] [Bridge] He hadn’t been too keen at the start now he seems to have a change of heart He’s got his own big dipper only now he’s not so sure big dipper He’s got his own big dipper but there’s always room for more [Chorus] Everybody’s got a song to sing Everybody’s got to do their thing big dipper big dipper Everybody’s got a song to sing Everybody’s got to do their thing big dipper big dipper [Bridge] And at around about a quarter to ten you got up and did it all again He’s got his own big dipper and now he knows just what it’s for big dipper He’s got his own big dipper but he’s got his eye on yours [Chorus] Everybody’s got a song to sing Everybody’s got to do their thing big dipper big dipper Everybody’s got a song to sing Everybody’s got to do their thing big dipper big dipper Everybody’s got a song to sing Everybody’s got to do their thing big dipper big dipper [Instrumental] [Outro] Another ride another tune another crazy afternoon Another reason for squeezing your big dipper

La chanson met en scène une interaction légère et amusante entre deux personnages autour des plaisirs et des rencontres. On y voit un marin qui, après quelques hésitations, s'ouvre à de nouvelles expériences, soutenu par l'autre protagoniste qui l'encourage à profiter des attractions d'une fête foraine. L'idée que chacun a ses propres désirs et plaisirs est centrale, illustrée par la métaphore du « grand dipper », qui symbolise des moments de plaisir partagé. Le contexte évoqué semble être celui d'une atmosphère décontractée, presque festive, où il est normal d'explorer et de s'amuser sans prise de tête. C'est l'occasion de se laisser aller et de vivre l'instant présent, rappelant que chacun a sa propre mélodie à jouer dans le grand concert de la vie.
