  • See those helmets? ROCK. That's no joke--these guys were the real deal.

  • Townshend played bass on this track as john was on honeymoon, it was released as a charity single for the rolling stones who had been busted for drugs. Some versions have a fuzz box guitar solo overdubbed onto the track.

  • @palladin1969 I belive both came out in '66.

  • Great version. Makes me wonder if this one somehow inspired Townsend to write "Happy Jack" (or had they already done that one at this point?), as I recognize bits of it in there. If it's true that they did this song for Mick and Keth's bail (see TheBostonBoy611 coment below) I'd like to say a belated thank you to the Who from the bottom of my heart!!!

  • I heard that The Who covered this to make bail for Jagger and Richards who were imprisoned on drug possession charges

  • the original is better !!!!

  • Thank you, Alice Cooper! Great show tonight. Cooper's Cover of December 10, 2011. Didn't figure out it was The Who until the last 5 to 10 seconds of it. HAHA! Great cover!!

  • Well, there's a story behind this cover... The Who released in 1967 a single with two stones covers to support Jagger and Richard who were in jail, and this was the first one of a serie they would have released, if they stayed in jail longer, because they announced that they would release Jagger-Richard covers as long as the two were imprisoned to keep the memory for those songs fresh...

  • i love the who but the original is better :D

  • @EuchridEucrow1 the who are ok but this cover is like a copy of the original

    la roux's one is like a new song inspired by the rollings

  • horrible cover well all the cover of this song sucks LOL

    ROLLING STONES FTW!

  • @bootworked

    La Roux's next halfway decent tune will be their first.

    Ignorant prick...
