Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 19

'Who Are You?'
--The Who (1978)

No, a flock of barn owls didn't escape into a recording studio. This title track was evidently hatched when Pete Townshend was double-dared into seeing how many times he can make Roger Daltrey say the band's name in the song's 6 minutes and 16 seconds. Let's just say it reaches triple digits. And those of you who thought you'd get off easy with the single-version "edit" -- that goes on for 5:06.
