Pat Boone is recalling some of the most memorable celebrity encounters that he has had over his decades-long career. In an interview with Fox News Digital, the 88-year-old singer and actor, who is celebrating his 70th year in show business, reflected on the special moments that he shared with famous entertainers, U.S. presidents, politicians and royalty in the past.
In one notable highlight, Boone looked back on the time when he met Elton John for the first time. During the encounter, the legendary crooner confronted John over the similarities between the falsetto "la-la-la" hooks in both his 1962 song "Speedy Gonzales" and the U.K. native's 1972 hit "Crocodile Rock." "I said, ‘Sir Elton, I have a little bone to pick with you,’" Boone remembered.
He continued, "And he looked at me with a guilty grin, and I said, ‘You know, I did a song called ‘Speedy Gonzales." [Boone began singing the 'Speedy Gonzales' hook ‘La la la la la la la la la’] And you used it.'" "And he said, ‘Yes, I used it in ‘Crocodile Rock,’ and I thought you were going to sue me.’" However, Boone revealed that his reaction was actually quite the opposite. "I said. ‘Sue you?’ You know, we performers, we're thrilled when somebody does something that we did.
I was honored.'" Boone, who was one of the most famous teen idols of the 1950s and 1960s and second only to Elvis Presley as the top-selling rock 'n' roll artist during that time, said he discovered that John was a longtime fan of his music. "He said, ‘I had all your records. I had ‘Love letters in the Sand’ and ‘April Love’ and all those songs," Boone recalled. "'But when I heard ‘Speedy Gonzales,’ I knew I was going to have to use that ‘La la la la la la la la la.'' And he used it in ‘Crocodile Rock.’
