Why would that be “crazy,“ it’s a great song?

[@jenniferfullmer7891]

I used to dance with my colicky son to this song. It was on a cassette tape, so had to rewind it several times and replay it over and over. When I would stop he would fuss until I played it again and again.

[@shadygraves]

My Mama used to sing this song when I was little. I had no idea it was The Who. She always was cool like that.

[@groogruxking2757]

Love how at 1:48, Townsend puts his pick between his lips to finger pick the banjo part, then at 2:00 grabs it to use for the rest of his guitar solo.

[@cdfdesantis699]

I know this is a silly song compared to most of The Who's songs, but it's always been my fave. They're so legendary, they certainly have the right to be silly. Bet THIS 1 never gets used as a "CSI" opening theme, though!

[@derrickleblanc603]

Actually, the TV show "Two and a Half Men" spoofed CSI for one of their episodes (Fish in a Drawer) while Charlie Sheen was still with the show. Also starred Robert Wagner and Jenny McCarthy. They used "Squeeze Box as the theme, I think near the end of the show. George Eads made a cameo.

Teach my 3.5 year old granddaughter good rock n roll songs on rotation. This one she picked up on lyrics in record timing. And by chance, her Daddy has an old Wurlitzer Squeeze Box! 🤘

[@robertkercso1225]

Pete could really play banjo after all. This is in my opinion his best recorded solo.

[@lb6135]

I believe this is the show from Toronto, right? In any case, this was a major deal here in Canada as the final show of their "farewell" tour was at the legendary Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. I remember recording it on VHS from a live television broadcast. Man, I wore that tape right out! Love the new waver fashions and haircuts that Pete and Roger are sporting too.
