Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from Pete Townshend's abandoned, futuristic rock-opera concept, this darkly humorous track explores gender expectations and adolescent anxiety. The complex, multi-part vocal harmonies and Keith Moon's frantic, explosive drumming provide a chaotic but meticulously structured pop arrangement.
