Understanding Bennie And The Jets

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet? Elton John's Bennie and the Jets is a rather surreal experience, capturing the experience of seeing a fictional band live within the confines of a studio recording by another, very real band, but what makes it feel so... spaced out? What is Sir Elton doing to make the song work? How is he creating those solid walls of sound, and what exactly are electric boots?
