[PETEtownsend19]

is this the who

[cowpalace95]

yes

[Schimoen]

Greatest song ever about masturbation!

There's a possibility that it wasn't Pete playing the organ. If it really was "live" at the BBC, someone else (perhaps Nicky Hopkins) might have played it. That is, unless the organ part was overdubbed later.

my first who song...45 rpm...maybe not the alltime best mastrubation themed song, that would probably be CAPTAIN JACK , by billy joel....actually a very passable rock song, especially for joel

@Rikitocker It's actually about Lily Bayliss an old Vaudeville star!

@PETEtownsend19 Your user name says pete townsend, but your comment makes me think you live in an alternative world where pete townsend is actually george harrison or someone else from those days.

[SupernalOne]

Right, Lily Langtry - part of the slightly sordid joke is that the dad was passing on his totally antique erotica (do a google image search & see), but the clueless horny son fixated on these PG-rated images anyway - and yes, choking the chicken is implicit in the story set-up but it's never mentioned, Townsend leaves that to your imagination ;^)

@Rikitocker

Or it could've been Lily St. Cyr a famous stripper from the 50's if you want to add another Lily.

[Bobsmellslikeyourmom]

@PETEtownsend19 wow

[bondurango]

Masturbation is one thing, but the organ on this version is an obnoxious little pecker.

[Rikitocker]

It's NOT about Lily Cole ... It is about Lillie Langtry ... the song says she's been dead since 1929! His father gives him the pictures of Lillie ... Lillie Langtry was a focus of male fantasy during the Victorian era. Born 13 October 1853 – Died12 February 1929.

Google "Lily Cole French Playboy" - you'll get the point!

1:20...in lieu of french horn, add your own vocalized "Woo AHH Wooo AAH Woo AHHH.." here
