ELTON JOHN sings backup vocals on JOHN LENNON's "Whatever Gets You Through The Night".  The cool animation linked below is "embedding disabled" but it's well worth a doubleclick to take you to YouTube:

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
