Snookeroo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Snookeroo" was Elton John and Bernie Taupin's contribution to Ringo Starr's 1974 album Goodnight Vienna. The song, which concerns a happy-go-lucky lout from northern England, was written about Starr himself.[1] The title refers to the billiards game snooker. Charting as a double A-side with "No No Song", it reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The UK version of the single Apple R 6004 has "Oo-Wee" written by Ringo (Richard Starkey) and Vini Poncia on the 'B' side. This track is also taken from the album Goodnight Vienna. The record failed to chart in the UK.
