The Who - Pinball Wizard - Tommy - 1969

[williwonti]

What's with all the flange on the chorus? And people say drugs are stronger today...

[whitbyjet65]

I didn't realise Elton John was as tall as this.

[isis1801]

I remember when Tommy was being filmed in Portsmouth, my friends and I were in the crowd for this bit of the film at the King's Theatre Southsea. Exciting times for me at 14 to be involved (albeit a very tiny bit) in a film!

[dstroost]

@justphil101 that was jack Nicholson in the piano... I think, not sure though.

[justphil101]

Out of interest. WHO played he piano. Has he been Knighted.

[bigace511]

uhm? no?

[nycom100]

What the hell!!!! hahaha I never saw this one awesome!

[AbbyNormal777]

Awesome..LOVE it..

[EricTheMultipleMan]

Being a teenager, I think of Elton John as a fat, old guy. Talented, but fat and old. Seeing him here...so young, completely different looking.

[Hollywoodsteve]

Love to do this as a Halloween costume but I don't think I could do the shoes.

[BeatlesHarryPotter7]

I wonder how long Roger had to practice pinball for this scene...

[guineapigworld123]

I LOVE TOMMY!!!!

[09CalvinBall]

That guy behind Elton at 4:01 isn't he Sally Simpson's dad? What the heck is he doing here? I thought he was against Tommy

[Hollywoodsteve]

@09CalvinBall t's a different guy

[TheBradcake]

The funny thing is that's probably one of Elton John's least ridiculous outfits.

[MrEskaru1]

@jessxxy They're probably assholes, because they have to deal with people like you, why are you even on this page if you don't care for the people who wrote these songs, make like a tree and get the fuck out of here.

[Yngwie69]

Im so glasd I took 2 dabs of acid!!! How do you think her does it ( I dont know)

[corwinorr]

2:23 He's the angriest gamer you ever heard...

[Mattw9105]

That reminds me, I really need to get me a new pair of shoes!

[aalicia123121]

i love this cause it's awesome, but the modern day elton is rolling in his un-grave...

[jessxxy]

Isnt it just amazing how Rodger Rog' is still able to hold that fazed out fixed grin..... Elton too but i expect thats due to constant cock up his arse'

[ttmot]

@jessxxy

well...

that and the botox ...

[jessxxy]

@ttmot I met old Elton once you know, what a misrable fat twat that one is! smile for the camera's'' its all only just for the camera's....... IIn real life he's just a fat greedy nasty old fuck with an attitude. Same as Daltry really... around the same height, wigs to match ''

[dizzybot]

you know if its a remake, i usually am like "dislike" but Elton John did an amazing job, so thumbs up! evem with the added parts

[harrowed2]

Ah back when Elton John was cool, before he sold out and started making songs for Disney...

[jjperceval]

@harrowed2  anything after lion king is bad....

[Brazilady]

Elton was a kid........gosh, I am old!!

[Brazilady]

wait a minute...who is that singing? I can't believe!

[racercowan]

Ever since I was a young boy

I've played the silver ball

From Soho down to Brighton

I must have played them all

But I ain't seen nothing like him

In any amusement hall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball

[racercowan]

He stands like a statue Becomes part of the machine Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean He plays by intuition The digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball He's a pinball wizard There's got to be a twist A pinball wizard He's got such a supple wrist

[racercowan]

How do you think he does it? (I don't know) What makes him so good? He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay Never tilts at all That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball!

[racercowan]

I thought I was The Bally table king But I just handed My pinball crown to him Even on my usual table He can beat my best His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball!

[draggardevir]

2 people have no idea what good music is. :)

[Iantorchwood94]

I WANT HIS SHOES !!! 8-P

[haileysvomit]

[MorrisonMercury23]

[madelynestefania]

[Ericzhanger]

Is it wrong that I was singing this in the shower, but then I got soap in my eyes when I got to the "deaf, dumb and blind" part?

[mooseboy18]

@Ericzhanger - Did you get it in your mouth & ears as well?

[Ericzhanger]

@mooseboy18 Nah, but I choked on water.

[sbogiam61]

[Apemopo]

[hicast1]

[yastay1706]

epitome of epicness.

[mla96]

Elton John should play basketball.

[MrStark3y]

@TheBeatlesRoooock ha that's good THE BITCH IS BACK eh?

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

Tommy is the Pinball Wizard but Elton John is the Queen of England.

[flopchute]

great video but the movie and this clip from the movie should be dated 1975. The album came out in '69.

[hokiejane]

@flopchute For sure. EJ still had hair in 1969. :)

[thehippy7]
