I don't remember Elton John singing it, but it has been quite a while since I watched the movie. ๐Ÿค”

From Wikipedia, "The song was performed by British musician Elton John in Ken Russell's 1975 film adaptation of Tommy"

I watched it semi recently, so it was fresh -ish in my mind.

Elton played the top dog Pinball player that Tommy dethroned. He was wearing boots that were like 3ft tall.
