I just turned iTunes onto shuffle and it gave me this song. It was about ten seconds in when I spotted this graph while surfing on this site. How often does Pinball Wizard come up that that would happen?

That’s why I said I thought that the threat-starter person (too tired to think of the abbr.) was probably thinking of Elton John instead of Billy Joel.

There are actually three versions of Pinball Wizard by The Who. In the first (from the ’69 album) Roger Daltry sang. Then (72 Tommy Album) Rod Stewart sang. On the ’75 movie soundtrack, Elton John sang and added a piano part. All three have the who playing the other instruments.

Then I segue into, “See me, fear me. Shoot me, kill me…”

But then again, I’m admittedly weird.

I discovered “Tommy” when I was either 11 or 12 by going through my dad’s record collection. I hope you can find it and watch the whole thing. It’s amazing.

There are other factors that should be considered. For example, how often does this Pinball Wizard get a replay? Has he been seen to fall, and if so, how often?

Other than these considerations, your analysis is reasoned and highly accurate. :)

His parents tell him “you didn’t see anything, you didn’t hear anything, and you won’t say anything to anybody”. His parents try everything to make him better including taking him to a cult. Then they discover that he’s good at pinball, and I can’t remember what order the rest of it is in but I know that in the end he’s ‘better’ and starts his own cult and the cult people revolt and kill his parents.

In the movie though, the lover kills the dad instead of the dad killing the lover.

He’s in the Pinball Wizard scene of the “Tommy” movie, if memory serves, and he sings “Crocodile Rock”. Not Billy Joel.
