The Who - Pinball Wizard Lyrics

[SNITZ0]

as my dad says "the song was made in the 20th century there smoking crack" (the who is his favorite band)

[JasonBrodbeckWebsite]

Hey i got a great idea about the centuries!  - SHUT THE FUCK UP :D

[Joragomiman]

everyone who thinks its from the 21st century is extreamly retarded, we all know it was from the 20th

[spiderchild207]

Simon "Spider Child" Cash is a pinball wizard.

[do0rkn0b]

haha, everyone that uploads these older songs is a huge cuntbucket. coincidence? i think not. killer song though.

[MaximoGrim77]

@SamthePetrolhead

The 20th century was from 1900 to 1999 and the song came from that timeline. So therefore its from the 20th Century!!

[AssassinPikachuStudi]

The Who said they said this was the worst song they ever written, the chance of the song becoming popular as it did .005%, turning this song with a stupid concept into classic rock. SO STOP COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[NaziZombiesLive]

5 people can't play pinball

[unused999]

if you look at the bands who played the good songs ie Everything prittymuch before year 2000 they all were like what evs i play music because i love it - made some danm good songs like this then everything after 2000 = Emo depressed im going to cut my self shit ........

[clo758]

[GrPaoOle]

@isaac11o DAMN! ME TOO!!! :((((((

[kingdomperfect]

I wish I grew up with this song and not with the noisy pieces of shit that plays on the radio today.

[MuSiCLoVeR69x666]

This is what our parents grew up with how could they let music go down so quickly?

[mike0ike13]

Sick ass bass

[LSA2013]

[MuSiCLoVeR69x666]

[BowHunt1229]

i wish there was this kind of talent around today. now anybody can pick up a micropone and sing like shit and they just digitally alter your voice. this is real music. everything from 1960-1989 is good music. i hate todays music.

[grayfox882006]

@kingluc517 Most 21st* century music sucks dick anyway, so what's your point? Are you trying to say newer music is better just because its newer? If so that's the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

[billyboy385]

@kingluc517 thats a laugh

[karatekid778]

Those few dislikes are by deaf dumb and blind kids who will, in fact, never be pinball wizards

[Mrnomusicnolive]

the thing i love about this song is: when you think about it the lyrics are simple ,and because of that insanely good. and beside, you just feel they just sent a wave of chillness with this song.thats what makes it fun to listnen. i'm loving it sinds i whas 10, i stilkl do ow im 14 and i will always till i die

[ihusisian]

Justin Bieber eat your heart out!

[TheUltamiteLifeForm]

im not shure how you can play pinball by smelling believe me i tried

[Baldpiece101]

i can't stand this!

[buemend]

IMBA GUITAR ^^

[thapoint09]

Isn't there an extended version of this with a long instrumental at the beginning?

[MonkeyPoo23164]

songs now are all about sex and drugs im no old guy (you keepers dont need my age =] ) but i think classical music is the best

[marcchainb]

when Elton John plays the guitar on piano, it just sounds silly

[KimberlyAnnPossible7]

This song was on the other day and my music teacher turned on the raido....We where all singing to it on our way home...It was awsome! XD

[marcchainb]

elton john sucks

THE WHO ROCKS

[handmaster21]

zdustin19 i agrree wit u

hes retarede or dosent no wat real classic music is

this song is like......u cnt eaven compare it to nuthin its THE WHO .

[zdustin19]

@nightowl8936 are you stupid the who version will always be the best Elton John is good but this is a Who original how dare you say this is flat you need to learn

[nightowl8936]

This version is weak compared to the Elton John rock opera version. The chorus of "sure plays a mean pinball" is really flat ... it goes down in intensity not up, as in the Tommy musical version.

Sorry Who fans ... but thats how I call it.

[MuSiCLoVeR69x666]

@nightowl8936 Really? I mean Elton John is okay I'm not going to diss him but really? Elton doesn't come close to The Who

[niall249]

I LOVE THE WHO!

And im not old

so even though its a fairly old band

I still think they rock

Im 13 too

:)

[mweymiller142]

i have a pinball machine which is based on this song... there is even a feature which you can play as "Tommy" and a cover folds out over the flippers so you are "blind".

[xXbeatlesXx04]

They did this at the Super Bowl. My friends thought they were old dudes tryin to be cool. Especially when Pete Townshend would do the windmill. -_- This is an ingorant generation were are raising. I am worried about the future.

[kramop34]

that funny b/c he invented the windmill

[xXbeatlesXx04]

@kramop34 I told them so, but they don't believe me. They never believe a word I say. =/ Some of them.

[kramop34]

haha yea i run into some people that i just piss the fuck off because they are wrong and i get a kick out of it because i love getting people mad

[xXbeatlesXx04]

@kramop34 I piss them off, too. Cos I could probably win any arguement that the Bealtes/Who etc is better than Myley Cyrus or Justin Bieber.

[mweymiller142]

you said my thoughts exactly

[thePinkZelda]

Way to stereotype us....all my friends and I love the Who and we're in highschool...:(

Maybe it's just becuase we're thespians so we're amazing like that! :) lol

[lordflanderwell]

@thePinkZelda you keep being amazing...dont end up with your spirit in the lost and found.

dont ever lose the connection...to art,intelligence,the soul of human kind.

[tylojacobs2]

why cant music be this good in the modern day???

[Joeisreason]

@tylojacobs2 because lightening doesn't strike twice -_-

[Islewthecyclopse]

@Joeisreason System of a down was amazing, and serj tankian is equally amazing if not better.

[shoopoop21]

@Islewthecyclopse he tries WAAAAAAAAY to hard to be political. If he took a fucking chill pill and just went with the flow, he might have a better writing record. Look at the who, this very song is about some blind deaf kid who's boss nigger at pinball.

[Joeisreason]

@Joeisreason

[zimkid421]

@Joeisreason When my band get famous it will come back

[saber1994]

@Joeisreason but it does...

[BIGBREN99]

becuz all the good bands and music was around in the 80's

[CreadorMex]

@BIGBREN99 60-90.

[DannyARock]

Because money corrupts people

[CBeliever]

@tylojacobs2

because there is no inspiration except drugs nowadays, there're no drives in most people's lives except money. Back in the 60's-80's, life didn't revolve around what brand of clothes you wore, maybe some judged like that, but a majority didn't.

[Ixnbeer]

@CBeliever Amen Brothere, Amen!

[WorldOpener]

"Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury depicts a society where books are forbidden, making the main character assume the people's problems arise from this lack. A wise old man objects: "The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through the radios and televisors, but are not."

Same applies for modern music: Being modern doesn't make it shallow. People who seek entertainment instead of art and wisdom in music do, through their demand. However, society is dynamic and this may change.

[MeatballAP]

Fahrenheit 451 is an awesome book. It is creepy how close to modern day it is.

[IdeasFromJoe]

@tylojacobs2

autotune

[undertaka11]

@tylojacobs2 idk but i ask myself the same question all the time

[258legolas]

@tylojacobs2 because its all about how faggy people sing sorry to people who disagree with me but its true and sorry to thoughs who practise a differnt life style to me (im straight) just clarifying it)

[plymouthgtx426]

@tylojacobs2 Thats because ppl in the 21st century love to hear TRASH that has no meaning.

[kymburlee1]

@tylojacobs2 because its politically incorrect..haha

[MuSiCLoVeR69x666]

@kymburlee1 I don't see how it is there ARE people who are deaf dumb and blind and The Who is saying that people can overcome any boundaries in there way no matter what the size

[kymburlee1]

@MuSiCLoVeR69x666 I dont beleive people that cant see or hear are dumb.. noone calls people deaf and dumb anymore because thats rude and deaf people arent dumb they can be very smart.. so ya..politically incorrect..

[LadyJay76]

@kymburlee1 - There is more than one definition of the word dumb. In this case I do not believe they were refering to the kid not being smart but rather being mute.

Potically correct or not the definition most fitting is this:

Dumb = unable to speak because of hereditary deafness

[QuipyGirbo]

@kymburlee1

Dumb in this context means he cant speak. It is not a slur.

[johnprimeaux]

@tylojacobs2 No kidding! So simple it's fantastic - something you can grab hold of and ROCK!

[xX10tXx]

@tylojacobs2 simple... auto tune

[MayoMeako]

@xX10tXx

WTFH!!! NOOOO!!!! What are you saying?!!! It's Classic Rock were talking about here!!! Why do you wanna go put shit on a perfect cake? I am up for auto tuning (The backing up song!!! haha), but just leave the classics alone!!!

[xX10tXx]

@MayoMeako No auto tune is what makes music BAD, you misunderstood me.

[MayoMeako]

@xX10tXx

Ok I 100% agree with you!!! I just want to make a statement for kids that don't understand thats all!

[TorgeirSt]

This song got an awesome message to it. You can have your share of handicaps and problems and still be outstanding in your specific fields. Don't be stopped by your limitations!

[IdeasFromJoe]

@TorgeirSt

watch the rock Oprah

he isn't really blind

[PatoxNakax94]

fantastic song!!!!

[Paris2012olympics]

the kids are alright (the song) is so underated

[halfangelfreak]

Right up their with: Kryptonite, Who Are You, piano man, and a lot more.

[fakemo21]
