This made me think of a question that's probably been raised before:

What's the strangest or best cover of a Who song you've ever seen. Could be anyone, even famous acts, but especially in a small local club or something like that.
I personally used to be in a band called TERRY's KID. We did original material, but when we first started out we had to do a lot of covers to fill in our sets. We used to do "Baba" a lot, although i hated doing it cos the singer (me) just tore it to shreds (i was more of a yell & growler than a singer). Anyway, we later developed a kick-ass version of "A Quick One" which was really fun to sing (even if the bassist & i couldn't reach all the notes - especially the Ox's "you are forgiven" at the end).

Was at a show last night at a local club and a cover band called The Mixed Nuts were playing. They do about as random a selection of covers one's ever heard, from hip hop to 80s schlock rock, to Elvis Presley. Anyway, mid show I recognized the opening chords of WGFA and looked up directly at the lead singer/rhythm guitarist and he motioned for me to come up and sing it (he had seen our last open mike night gig there and liked us). I was pretty drunk, but jumped up on stage and sang my little guts out. It was a blast. The looks on the people's faces were priceless ("who the fuck is this guy?").
Also, Who Are They goes into the studio this week, hopefully, to record a few demos for our press kit. Wish us luck as the definitive (and only) Who coverband of the southeast.
