userGod, I miss White culture. It's dying now. Everything after the 70's sucks.

tthe who rules
user
I personally find this version better then the original
user
great i have the who album and the movie tommy was kinda retarted tho
user
This is actually my first encounter with the musicians, not the music itself. So it is weird now to see Roger seeing and thinking. ;P
user
I say thw Who is good at the song too(they have it in an album) but elton john is much better
user
The Who was supposed to record this for the movie, but Elton demanded to use his own band--- or no deal. Even though The Who appear on film, it's Elton's band perforning the music.
user
This version was meant for the rock opera, The version the Who uses is the original one, this one is just an adaptation.
user
man, this was a weird movie, but i gotta say this is one of the best parts!

Lyrics:
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feelin' all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it?
I don't know
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a-flashin'
He plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay
And never tilts at all
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He can't beat me now
I've always been the champ
I know every trick
No freak's gonna beat my hand
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
I've never seen him fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wrist
He's a pinball wizard
He's scoring even more
A pinball wizard
For the girls who dig pinball lore
He's scoring more
He's scoring more
I thought I was
The bally table king
But I just handed my
Pinball crown to him
To him
To him
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feelin' all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it?
I don't know
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a-flashin'
He plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay
And never tilts at all
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He can't beat me now
I've always been the champ
I know every trick
No freak's gonna beat my hand
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
I've never seen him fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wrist
He's a pinball wizard
He's scoring even more
A pinball wizard
For the girls who dig pinball lore
He's scoring more
He's scoring more
I thought I was
The bally table king
But I just handed my
Pinball crown to him
To him
To him
