"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a 1976 song by Elton John featuring Kiki Dee. It topped the single charts in the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ireland, France and Australia and charted poorly in Finland where it only made number 23. In 1994, John remade the song with drag queen RuPaul for his album Duets.

  1. John and Taupin were credited under the pseudonyms "Ann Orson" and "Carte Blanche", respectively, and intended as an affectionate pastiche of the Motown style
