This is FUCKING AWESOME!!! Only Keith Moon could have wrote this wild masterpiece. This song sums up his personallity and drumming style AWESOME!! The solos are out of this world.
I'm no Who fan, but this is awesome. Dr. Demento played it, but it should have been his theme song, particularly after 1990 when he quit playing 78's. Up to then it made sense for his theme to be "Pico and Sepulveda," a 1947 song about California, but as time moved on this should have been his theme song. Nothing says Dr. Demento more than th is song does.
As well as Moonie, Featuring John on tuba, trumpet, piccolo and of course bass. Love his mock fanfare at 1:50. The track was recorded purely as a joke and as with the rest of AQO during a very turbulent period for the Who when they were considering splitting up.
There were a lot of great tracks on "A Quick One" but this was always my favorite. (Boris the Spider also high on the list.) Flail away, Keith and cohorts! 100 stars!
That's exactly what I thought when I first heard it on The Kids Are Alright. Only The Loon could write a song like this one. And boy, is it awesome or what.
oh really the teerm "air drumming" exists? i always thought its just a stupid invention by me haha ... i guess i air drummed to this soooo often, it just gets me high like keith moon haha
The DRUMS! I love the whimsy of this. So very Keith.

One of the best examples of Keith Moons unpredictable drumming. If you heard this song for the first time you wouldn't expect that crazy solo.

By the way, the bassline -as always- is great, and the rythm guitar by Pete is simply magnificient. He drives the crescendo with true mastery.
