Keith Moon - Fiddling About

[GoblinTinkerer]

Parents of the year.

At least they get their just desserts in the end. :I

[spudmuffin99]

i've always wondered which side of the family Uncle Ernie was on...

[bellmelvin90]

Ok how do u guys get on that subject :/

[28j06h42mn12s]

Those eyes 3:16 , mraoow

[TheBookWorm1718]

@modladd See that's what I don't get because people talk about how to preserve the tooth until the dentist can put it back in by keeping it in a glass of milk until you get there.

[DarrenBonJovi]

I must try the old egg in the pint o Newcastle Brown sometime! :-)

[TheBookWorm1718]

@modladd Once you get a tooth knocked out like he did HOW does the dentist put it back in?

[TheBookWorm1718]

@modladd I thought that he dove off the diving board into an empty pool. In any case  heard the dentist put that tooth back in. How, I'd like to know.

[fortheloveoftunes]

I think that the more less obvious perverts are even creepier .-)

[wackyshack360]

Why don't you have a seat...

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

I personally think pedophiles are sick bastards but Keith Moon playing perverted Uncle Ernieis hilarious! Only he could pull this off and leave to the imagination whilst sound effects and him laughing like a mad hatter played in the background. Keith FOR THE EPIC WIN! God rest Keith's soul.

[MegaCaveMan14]

good old Newcastle Brown Ale at 1:09 :)

[Darkghoans1]

This part is funny ahah XD

[normanby100]

Townsend asked Entwistle to compose this song (and cousin Kevin) because he felt uncomfortable writing it. H'mmmmmm! Good to see Keith Moon immortalised on screen in one classic role. His dissipation meant there was little make up for the part - and he and Oliver Reed were a friendship made in heaven - or hell.

[allaboutdmagic]

Who'd leave their kid with such an obvious drunken fiddler?

[TheTmny876able]

He looks like Robert newton's son! (blackbeard)

[Theakker3B]

It's funny they got Keith to play his Uncle. Roger Daltrey is actually oldier than Keith by a few years. Keith would have been 28 when he did this.

[megahawk98]

R.I.P Keith moon

[bwc3821]

The funny part is Keith was just wearing his usual clothes and breifcase.

[angeldeb82]

Man, I remembered hearing the song from the film adaptation, and Keith Moon was so weird, his "singing" voice sounded more like he talked like a West Country pirate rather than singing! :P

[Blaze1289]

@angeldeb82 He does have an actual singing voice; he used it on a few early Who songs and his solo album. To be honest, it's not much better, lol.

[emilymariemccartney]

Is it bad that I seriously got turned on when it went dark and Keith/Uncle Ernie started making those sounds? 'Cause I did.

[cstakolich]

I feel like they had so much fun filming this.

[gingafan12]

I love Keith but, wtf did I just watch? o_o

[PieAndLove]

My friend who's as obsessed with The Who as I am watched this before me.... And said "I just saw the "Fiddling About " part of "Tommy".... And...Er...Yea... I still wanna watch the whole thing though! :D"

So. I come here.

I'm a little creeped out now... XD

[cait72590]

Ugh- am I the only one who can't watch this all the way through?

[geegeefaggot]

I wouldn't complain. ;D

[PASCHDigiMedia]

That weird synth sound said all that needed to be said about the character.

[TheHitman1990]

Fiddle a-bite ! Fiddle a-bite !

[ObscenityOlivia]

Just to clarify, that does not mean he was doing what Uncle Ernie does to Tommy. He used to sing me Happy Jack and Boris The Spider too.

[ObscenityOlivia]

My dad used to sing this to me at bedtime, no word of a lie. He didn't do it in the demented voice Moon uses here, though.

[MisterBouncyBounce]

i wish i was a dumb fuck so i could enjoy this piece of shit like all the other morons.

[mrfishingrod]

2:57 he's reading "Gay News" hahahahaha

[Faulman200]

Justin Beiber was on the end of the phone.

[MaccaRevenge]

i love the who, and tommy but this was very creepy. 

[Moocow002]

How would you feel if you were on the other end of that phone at 1:11 ?

[shweet0161]

do you think its alright? Er...... No I certainly do not

[gilteed77]

Johnny wrote this song

[LAYLAPAULMCARTNEY]

his eyes are pretty

[gilteed77]

ive wanted keith since i 15, to bad he was dead. hes crazy and wonderful. Too bad, he died when I was about to 1 yr. His b-day just passed Aug 23 1946. I love Keith

[CaptainComrade]

Pedobear: the Musical

[XxDazedandConfusedx1]

get some keith

[Scarperguy]

This'd be very scary were it not Keith Moon molesting Roger Daltrey.

[Lambretta2244]

The loon is so funny !

[abridgedfanboy]

One thing I like about this version over the original is that Keith Moon actually makes Uncle Ernie sound legitimately creepy, and the darker symphonic/synth parts of the song add a layer of suspense to it all.

...Didn't stop people from wanting to get buggered by Keith Moon, but them's the breaks.

[Danazawa]

Pete Townsend was researching a book about fiddling about - so wheres the book Pete?

[crazyforkiba]

@KillEmAllFire AMEN. I was actually terrified lol.

[Able195]

Trolls, fiddling about since 1998

[Shar1179]

@georgeharrison22543 Was he now? Now i gotta go watch that....

[georgeharrison22543]

@Shar1179 Oh...I thought it was Tommy's real dad, not Oliver Reed...My mistake.

[Shar1179]

@georgeharrison22543 LOL! I'm sorry...I should've said stepdad...

[georgeharrison22543]

@Shar1179 Haha no problem. Either way, both are great actors in their own respective ways. :)

[TheHotrockfan]

it is disturbing how cute keith moon is even when doing disturbing things to his nephew lol

[182fooz]

Tommy's parents are pricks

[xNeverxBlinkx]

Tommys father looks exactly like Vince Vaughn!

[iamobeliskquake]

@xNeverxBlinkx thats his stepfather

[moontheloon518]

Now I know who called me at 1:12. Well HAAAA and WHOO WHOO back at you

[moontheloon518]

I have an uncle and His name is Ernie. NO LIE JUST THE TRUTH!!!!

[Sakuya727]

@moontheloon518 Me too! I'm not kidding lol!

[MsLackingcreativity]

when i first heard this song i thought he was talking about robbing the house....

surprise.

then again i was 12 years old and didn't know what it meant to be a virgin so...

yeah, I wish I had Keith Moon for an Uncle Ernie

[MrCaioliz]

Brain is a good thing I think everybody should have !

[Sakuya727]

Keith is SO DAMN HOT! I wish he would do that to me ;)

[bowiewondergirl]

I dont know what bothers me more...the fact that uncle ernie is cracking an EGG in his beer or that he doesnt dispose of the shell properly...

[LittleMissJoky]

@TheTrippybutterfly Oh, I didn't mean it like it might sound :O I love Keith Moon, he's brilliant, it's just so awkwark if you're watching this scene with your parents ^^' R.I.P. Keith :)

[XxDazedandConfusedx1]

@LittleMissJoky omg. so I just have to say. I was watching this and my mom had never seen this before and it was literally the most awkwardest moment of my life.

[jamesjonesrocket]

@TheTrippybutterfly will do, thanks for the tip, lots of love x

[TheMissfriss]

@TheTrippybutterfly Lmao, yeah I'm not sure what I was writing there. Still Keith Moon is a legend althrough he was a weird man. :p

[jamesjonesrocket]

@TheTrippybutterfly what are your favourite gloves? have you ever seen those socks that are like gloves, they have little bits for all the toes. If you like gloves, you'll probably like those.

[TheBookWorm1718]

This is just a crackpot thought I had a while back, if Tommy was ever remade as a porno, Uncle Ernie flapping his coat open and shut during this bit would be a whole other thing altogether.

[TheIrishEnigma]

That last minute with Oliver Reed is just so awesome looking, such a great actor.

[WestCoastBushcraft]

e_e

[TheMissfriss]

Keith Moon had bad habits, lawl beer with raw eggs. YUmm

[moontheloon518]

So that's who called me at 1:12!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[annavoig19]

the last thing keith moon is here is sexy, weird people...

[EpicPicklezzz]

0:01

GOD Roger has gorgeous eyes ♥ <3

[bowiewondergirl]

....omg why....O_O....i feel raped just listening to this......oh....god....i need a shower...and a therapist...therapist...th rapist..DAMNIT MY SHRINK WANTS TO "FIDDLE ABITE"!

[TheRippingCorpse]

An utterly dark subject made funny - these guys rule!

[LittleMissJoky]

watching this scene with your parents. *pokerface* :|

[holyshitdude91669]

@LittleMissJoky i shit you not, that fucking happened the first time i saw this.

[Finstahy]

I'd much rather hang out with Uncle Ernie than Cousin Kevin.

[Tiddlyhat]

@Finstahy Yeah. Uncle Ernie will just blow up your toilet instead of putting spikes in it.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@tjrtherocksponge I am willing to be tif he were alive during family guy he woulda played herbert.

[Siksaneity77]

i think he is going to fiddle about.

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

Well, who wouldn't want to have sex with Roger Daltrey? ;)

[Pittking86]

@tjrtherocksponge i agree, may all the paedos be spared, but have their cocks chopped off and forced to live without them...lol!

[soccerez1999]

@Pittking86 l

the truth is nobody has control of there fetishes. if you unfourtunately hace pedophillia, its how you act that matters. if by choice a pedophile removes himself from temptation, i think it is commendable. honestly, do you think you could remove yourself from your fetish for that long?

[Cartoonyworld109]

.........Uhhhhhh............

[MultiWebweaver]

My Grandmother fiddled about 1984

[jamesjonesrocket]

never trust anyone in fingerless gloves

[Pittking86]

@jamesjonesrocket what about Rocky Balboa, he wore them in Rocky 1 and 5 you know?

[jamesjonesrocket]

@Pittking86oh yeah he did didn't he, my mistake :)

[mikuz007]

chuck norris is nothing compared to keith who can turn a lamp off with his tongue 2:05

[chamberl]

He's now a Catholic priest.

[lizardrama]

0:01 OMFG!! IT'S KILLING ME!!!

[TheRippingCorpse]

Cousin Kevin and Uncle Ernie are my heroes!

[fredgorey]

ewwwww I need a shower now..

[CodyRicheson]

I really like this song, it has a tinge of The Residents.

[drstarfires]

haha watching that im creeped out... but once its done i just laugh my head off! xDD

[dx3444]

Tommy was raped by keith moon, lucky bastard

[PaandaSpeaks]

GAY NEWS hahahaha

[RRREproductions]

mmmm. i wish Keith Moon was my Uncle Ernie ;)

[moontheloon518]

@RRREproductions I do have an uncle and his name just happens to be Ernie. NO LIE !!!!!!

[ludehead]

"You won't shite as I fiddle abite!"

[MsTVsmasherFIREpyro]

Keith Moon is a sexy Uncle Ernie! :)

[Pittking86]

@MsTVsmasherFIREpyro hahahahahaha..you are totally cool beans. if he was alive still, would you still think he's very sexy?

[Sakuya727]

@MsTVsmasherFIREpyro Ayyee ;)

[iateyourmomsdog]

Man I miss Keith Moon :(

[NeonAngel1997]

I love this man.

[cristytovar]

Keith Moon is my favorite pervert EVER. I love him.

[therealmoshmonkey]

Hahahaha this is so funny I can't stop laughing not because of what hes doing but how its acted out hahaha

[SecretTimeWarp]

Why would you put an egg in your beer??

[gjew92]

@SecretTimeWarp because your keith moon :)

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

@SecretTimeWarp Because you want the audience to think you're more disgusting?

I dunno, some men do put a raw egg in their beer.

[BlackMagnumFilms]

Love Keith's wink-and-grin there to Oliver reed at the beginning

[MsFanmail]

Keith is one cheeky sexy beast

[FromQC94]

@MsFanmail Yes he was so sexy! and Roger too ;)

[impalax327]

Funny how prophetic this song is considering Pete was busted with all that child porn. Also his constant references to "the kids" was always a bit suspect. Strangely autobiographical...

[weallshineon704]

@impalax327 well john entwistle actually wrote this song so

[indychik93]

Tommy maybe def blind and dumb but I think his got an idea something very bad is happening from 1:40- 1:45

[TheBookWorm1718]

I find it funny that Keith was the youngest of them (is that right?) and he's playing the uncle.

[nucleardude11]

man i miss you keith

[DaAliBerryz]

Hahaha This song will never be just a song anymore.

[julialikesstuff]

2:56 Is he reading GayNews? lol

[madrox1994]

Is uncle Ernie the father of cousin Kevin? If so that's one fucked up family...

[rooneyisRAD]

i didnt get what he was doing till the door opened and tommy's finger was in his mouth and uncle ernie's newspaper said 'gay news'

[TheDirectorofFoo]

This is, oddly, my dream role if I ever was in a musical.

[MsFanmail]

I think Keith is so good in this scene

[weallshineon704]

omfg only Keith Moon could make something as serious as pedophilia hilarious (and please dont take this the wrong way bc I think pedophilia is sick) may God rest his soul.

[taiyo888]

God this remains the scariest song in the album.

[AliaSparrow]

Woah! I don't condone pedophiles, they deserve to be locked up. But Keith Moon pulls this off with comedy!

[circethesorceress]

Keith Moon was born for this part. Oh, and the drumming thing too. ;)

[robynsegg]

The 1st time I saw this as a kid, I didn't understand it. I knew he was a pervert, but I didn't know just how bad. As an adult, watching this years later, I tried so hard not to laugh. But Moon The Loon kicks ass in this part. A definite scene stealer! You can tell that step-daddy Hobbs is going to S-T-O-M-P Uncle Ernie's arse. Too bad we, the audience, won't get to see it!)

[TheDirectorofFoo]

Only the Loon could pull this part off.

[SnugglySara]

This scene and COUSIN KEVIN both hit home, as when I was in the 5th grade, I endured much worse.

Tortured by a school bully named, coincidentally, Kevin, and molested by a teacher! Confided this to Petey and Roger in their Christmas cards years ago.

[Cocarat206]

If Keith Moon had lived, I believe he could've played the Joker at some point @_@

[twiggypeerzingz]

Tommy's parents left him with the most f***ed up people :/

[SnugglySara]

@twiggypeerzingz Yup!

[Bethfromwigan]

me and my brother and some of our friends acted this scene out when we were little by putting this scene on the tv and miming and acting to it lol. we were crazy lol !. we tried our hardest not to laugh lol !.

[photoshootme]

1:09 - 1:16 never fails to make me laugh

[BluntObject1234]

I like those little hats she's wearing

[ComedicArtist866]

it must have been hard for Roger not to laugh during that scene

[SnugglySara]

@ComedicArtist866 My sweetie.

[ComedicArtist866]

@SnugglySara No way sister he's MINE!!!!!!!

[SnugglySara]

@ComedicArtist866

Wanna mud wrestle for him?

[ComedicArtist866]

@SnugglySara wont that turn him off though? how bout a guitar battle

[MsMoonTheLoon]

I always have to imagine keith standing behind a mic and laughing his ass off making all those weird noises...ooh god he was SUCH a georgeous genious!!!!

[SuperKawaiiPandaGirl]

I wonder if Uncle Ernie has lost a tooth for every child he's fiddled with? O.o

[47smithstreetseries]

FIDDLE ABITE

[evanhaynes64]

if you repeadtly click 0:28 ann margret looks like a fish.

[kraken589]

so did he get caught or what

[thankyoupourlavideo]

@kraken589

Well, that depends. In the film version, it's quite obvious Tommy's father knew, hence lighting the newspaper on fire. He most likely never tells Mrs. Walker about it because he is seen later on in the film helping run the holiday camp. Had Mr. Walker told Mrs. Walker, Tommy would probably have later found out as well, and Ernie would not have been at the holiday camp.

However in the album version, it is unclear whether Uncle Ernie got caught or not.

[kraken589]

@thankyoupourlavideo yea it looked like his father found out but it seems like he would have done something to ernie but instead he seems to just let it go

[moumuri1118]

looooove Keith Moon<333

[GreenDay39smooth]

I love Keith Moon

this scene is hysterical :L

[helgiagustsson]

i love this sceane

[mongrel20]

YES THAT IS INDEED WILLIS.

[DisgustedofStirchley]

Is that Willis?

[BowieGirley]

This is frightening...I love it!

You know, I'm kind of glad that Kieth Moon wasn't there when I went to see The Who..... =3

R.I.P man....

[lazerath123]

the sounds you hear when the screen is black are truely horrifying

[BowieGirley]

xD hahaha ROTFLMAO This cracks me up like nothing else. xD HAHA did he malester Tommy?

[FromQC94]

Keith was perfect for the role of uncle Ernie :)

Funny and creepy at the same time XD

[catblanket14uk]

What was that 1972 movie when Reed played a sadistic Army Sgt. chasing after a WW2 dodger who resorted to dressing as a woman to avoid detection?

[wesmatron]

@catblanket14uk Soldier in Skirts? Is that the one where he wrestles naked with another bloke in front of the fire? Eeeuw ;)
