During the shoot for the video, John came across There were lots of celebrities around in Cannes and one day we discovered that Elton John was in town, filming the video for his song "I'm Still Standing". This was before Elton became teetotal, so he was still a steaming party animal; we went up to see him at his hotel and spent the afternoon getting blasted on martinis. Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing. We decided it would be a laugh to get him drunk and we were slinging the drinks down him. Therefore, it had to be filmed again on another day. "I'm Still Standing" is a song by British rock musician Elton John, from his Platinum-certified 1983 album, Too Low for Zero. We got him so drunk that eventually he went upstairs and threw a wobbler in his suite. "Ooh, you are lovely boys," he screeched, loving every minute of it. It caused all sorts of chaos – but it was a great party.In 2019, the original 16mm film negatives were re-scanned and the computer graphics were recreated, forming a new, remastered version of the promotional video. I'm still standing (Yeah yeah yeah) I'm still standing (Yeah yeah yeah) Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Yeah, yeah, yeah Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing. And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind. Helped in part by a video promoting the song on then-new It was due to be shot over the course of two days, but a camera full of the first day's film was ruined when Mulcahy accidentally fell into the sea with it. I'm still standing. John said this was "my reaction to still being relevant and successful in the early 1980s, post-punk and with the New Romantics creeping in."
