The great Sir Elton John for years and years was worried about another singer accusing him of stealing from his song.

0:10.3

And you will not believe who that singer was.

0:14.1

We always have an odd woman in the crowd, so it's kind of odd.

0:16.8

I'm excitedly odd.

0:17.6

Isn't that strike you as a little bit odd?

0:19.1

No, it doesn't strike me as a little bit odd.

It's the Bob and Sherry Oddcast,
