Recorded at Pye Studios, London in October 1966. John's creepy crawly story, the very first song he wrote for The Who, endured as a live favourite throughout their entire career. The band even played it on their 25th anniversary re-union tour in 1989.

First off, I LOVE this track - Fuggin' CLASSIC, M8 !
Secondly... i found out some missing lyrics to this song and goes a lil' something like this... "Maestro, if you will..."
What's this seepin' out me arse ?
Feels like tiny sherds of glass !
Shootin' out like ASS-ter-oids,
Rippin' up me Hem-or-rho-ids...
Ja-la-pe-ño Pep-pers !

Love that reverb on Pete's guitar at the end.

John had a couple of tarantulas: Doris and Boris. I think Doris ate Boris. This is a great tune to play whilst watching "Eight-Legged Freaks."

As my parents knew this song, I grew up calling wolf spiders 'Borises'. So every time there is one in the house, I always go, 'there's a boris!'

Great song, however the info on here is incorrect..."Whiskey man" was the first song he wrote for The Who...he came up with "Boris the Spider" when Townsend asked him about the 2nd song he had written for the Album "A Quick One"...it's all in the book "Before I get old, the story of The Who"...

@PatOShea I just typed out the info that was in the CD-booklet for A Quick One. Townshend with an h by the way. (sorry I could not not do that :)) Did you know John thought of the idea for Boris The Spider when he was talking with Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones bassist) about names for animals ;) And John was actually VERY scared of spiders when he was young :) hehe
