With moonie this was the best live band that I've seen. And the absolute loudest.

It's the chorus the same as they were singing in Whoville in The Grinch?

classic...

Woke up and thought i was watching CSI....Aww, I SOO miss Grissom......

I remember when this came out like it was yesterday...  love it...

Here's one reason this song is historically noteworthy: It proved that synthesizers had a place in rock music. I can't think of a real rock song before this one that had prominent synths. (Except maybe their own Baba O'Reilly.)

This song is great for several reasons, not the least of which being that it was the last of the "Keith Sessions". But the best thing about it has to be the repeated lyric "who the f*ck are you" that makes it past the censors! Gotta love it!

Is CSI starting?

The last outing for one of the greatest ever bands - the original Who line-up. Is there a drum machine doing a handclap through the track - maybe Keith was a bit eratic by this stage!

Uh, I was asking a sincere question about why people might like a song in which I myself hear nothing of value, not asking them to "justify" why they liked it. See, unlike you, I'm curious about the world around me and in this case, am interested in hearing about why people might like something I don't. And I was obviously addressing people with a brain — a set that doesn't seem to include you. So, you know, fuck off, bitch..

Again? Arrogant twat! Why should anybody need to justify why they like any song? You like it or not. That's enough.

Just thelm last month (and a bunch of times since 80) and he still never stops moving.  Not the HIGH MARCH of years ago, but he is buff and in motion still, at 64!!!

The system is better (for now, anyway) in Canada. If the "f-bomb" is used in a non-sexual way, as it is in this song, it's fine. I think that makes sense.

Okay, I'm not gonna read other comments, because I'm just frickin' GRATEFUL to be hearing the uncensored version of this song!!!! Since the FCC has decided that it is the new Moral Majority, the very best songs are edited because radio stations are in fear of hefty fines for violations.

This means (for those of you who don't listen to radio anymore because of CD players, iPods, etc.) that songs aired on FM radio still have to be edited for content. The "F-Bomb" has to be edited out, as do things like "Ho," "drugs," and "shit."

Normally, I wouldn't care about this, but some of my favorite songs have been hatcheted ("Lawyers, Guns and Money" by Warren Zevon and the afore-played "Who Are You?" by The Who, to name a couple) and I fear that people won't get to hear the unadulterated versions of the really good stuff because they're at the mercy of a vigilante organization that has the power to censor music.

We have a local radio station called Coyote FM. I know the former program manager, I miss him, and I hate what Coyote has become as a result of his departure. But - to their credit, the station makes the edits of certain "objectionable" words very sloppy - it's obvious that something was there but isn't anymore, and hopefully, that alone will incite people to buy the CD and listen to the real deal.

Got brains?

Keith Moon the King of all drummers,The Who rules .

This is like being at a football ('soccer' to youse across the Pond) match: "'Oo are ya? 'Oo are ya?". To which the ritual reply is "We're the {insert nickname of team}". Sure sounds better than this reheated dated Who number - 2 from the Nottingham jury.

Sounds like early Kiss, sans the hard rock.

Yes. And then this was released.

I heard that Keith sat backwards on the chair to hide his oversized beer gut.

Roger sings it so great! What a voice! And the Who is the best anyway!

These guys were bad-ass.

repetative and boring. If they weren't The Who, who would care?

Not my favorite, but GODLIKE !

PLAY IT LOUDEEER !!!

Before Pete was pimping his songs out to anyone with a 6-pack of beer, this song was used to good effect in a Nicolas Roeg movie called "Bad Timing; A Sensual Obsession", circa 1980. Check it out if you like movies that are a little more challenging than Pirates/Shrek/Spiderman et al.

If you get a chance, listen to this in the context it was originally intended for - as part of Lighthouse!!!
