The song received a renewal in popularity in 2000 after appearing in a memorable scene in the Cameron Crowe film " Almost Famous ", where it is played over the sound system of a tour bus and no one can resist the urge to sing along to the choruses. The song was also featured on NBC's The Office during the closing moments of " The Dundies " episode 201 as Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert come agonizingly close to professing their affection for each other. It was ranked #387 on the 2004 List Of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time . The song was written about Maxine Feibelmann, a dancer on Elton John's tour who later married Taupin. (Later, the song from the Elton John album '' Blue Moves '' called "Between Seventeen and Twenty" referred to the divorce of Bernie and Maxine Taupin and the fact that so much had changed from when they first met when he was aged twenty and she was aged seventeen.) "Tiny Dancer" was covered by John Frusciante when playing a solo with the Red Hot Chili Peppers , by Dave Grohl on '' The Late Late Show '' with Craig Kilborn , by Ben Folds on his album '' Ben Folds Live '', and by Tim McGraw in 2002 in a somewhat Countrified version. A common mishearing, ''"Hold me closer, Tony Danza . . ."'' is becoming a popular Inside Joke [http://shop.store.yahoo.com/villagestreetwear/fancltida.html , despite the song predating the actor's fame by 7 years.
