"Eminence" has only one m, and there is no such Who song as
"Teenage Wasteland."

Sorry for the typo, but Teenage Wasteland was the anthem of the
70's.

"Teenage Wasteland" was never released by The Who, and Pete
Townshend's version only came out in 2000.

How could it be the anthem of the '70s?

are you English? It's very English to have other people do your work

"Teenage Wasteland" is on my iPad and Ipod. My 63 year year old father
likes that song too!

If Google doesn't work for you I suggest Bing. Try to Bing "Teenage
Wasteland". It's a must have listen for any WHO fan...

Those are lyrics for a song called "Baba O'Rily", not "Teenage
Wasteland." I can see how google might make that mistake.

Anyway, I'm not looking for the lyrics, I'm looking for where I can buy
a song by The Who that was supposedly all over the airwaves called
"Teenage Wasteland". Can you point out a source? Amazon.com doesn't
seem to have it, surprisingly.

I like the saxophone or organ or whatever that song starts with.

"We're all WASTED!!!!!" I bet, whatever.

Baba O'Rily??????


No search engine I used has lyrics for that song. You made that up!
Either that or you must be confused with an Irish guy.

As to "Teenage Wasteland", maybe your router or a firewall is blocking
your attempts to find this song. Are you in China or North Korea?

Yes. It's probably being censored by the state.

Look: this is alt.music.who and we have to ask you if you don't start
respecting all these WHO fans then we are going to have to ask you to leave.

Making up stories about song titles and who plays WHO is just not in
good taste and goes against the FAQ of this group.

Teenage Wasteland is considered the best song by these members of
alt.music.who and you just have to accept their democratic method of choice.

The British use the metric system, right? I have always wondered why
this wasn't "I Can See for Kilometers" (aside from the fact that
that's a lot harder to sing/say, I guess.)
