“Is there life on Maaaa-aaa-aaars? Maaa-ah-ah-ah-arrrrrs!"

Brad, that isn’t how “Life on Mars” goes.

Brad
 It isn’t?

Co-Worker 
No. The words are right, but that’s the tune of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”

I think it’s an easy mistake to make. The songs are not so dissimilar. But it seems now Elton John has the upper hand among gay, British musicians who have sung songs with Muppets. Ben and Jerry’s has honored Reginald “Elton John” Dwight with an ice cream flavor, “Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road,” in honor of his upcoming first concert in Vermont. Available only in Vermont, the limited edition flavor is "an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks."

I mentioned earlier the return of The Dave Matthews Band’s flavor: Magic Brownie’s Remix Edition. If Elton John’s flavor is successful and returns after its limited edition release, they’ll have to call it “The Bitch is Back Edition.”


Note from 2012: This flavor was later offered in grocery store pints for a limited time.
