Elton John’s gift may be his song, but that doesn’t mean he loves them all.

During an appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colberton Tuesday, Dec. 17, the 77-year-old musician spoke about which of his original songs are his favorites — and also revealed the one he simply can’t stand.

Then giving a shoutout to"Your Song"from his 1970 self-titled album, “because it’s the first hit I ever had,” John also celebrated his song “Blessed” from his 1995 LPMade in England.

But, struggling to reflect on one more song from his iconic discography that he counts as a favorite, John did tease, “Not f—ing’Crocodile Rock.‘I know that.”
