of the songs below aren't listed in the alphabetical song list there :)

Which makes me wonder ... has anyone ever put together a list of all
the songs that The Who covered either in the studio (first couple of
albums) or live?  Ones I know of:

    Anytime You Want Me
    Armenia City in the Sky
    Baby Don't Ya Do It
    Bald Headed Woman
    Barbara Ann
    Batman
    Big Boss Man
    Boney Maronie
    Bucket T
    Daddy Rolling Stone
    Eyesight to the Blind
    Fire
    Fortune Teller
    Goin' Down
    Hall of the Mountain King
    Heat Wave
    Here 'Tis
    I Don't Mind
    I'm a Man
    I'm the Face
    The Last Time
    Lubie
    Man With the Money
    Please, Please, Please
    Saturday Night's Alright
    Shakin' All Over
    Shout and Shimmy
    Summertime Blues
    Twist and Shout
    Under My Thumb
    Young Man Blues
    Zoot Suit

Can anyone else think of any others?
