OL' 'BLUE EYES' IS BACK 

Limp Bizkit's remake of the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" is a new 
entry on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 72. The original peaked at 
No. 34 in 1971. 

"Behind Blue Eyes" was written by the Who's Pete Townshend. 
This is his first writing credit on the Hot 100 since his record "Face 
the Face" peaked at No. 26 in January 1986. 

The charting of Limp Bizkit's "Behind Blue Eyes" marks only the 
second time a cover of a Who song that appeared on the Hot 100 
has returned to the chart. The other Who remake to chart was the 
New Seekers' medley of "Pinball Wizard/See Me, Feel Me," which 
went to No. 29 in 1973. 

Elton John and Rod Stewart both received airplay on their respective 
remakes of "Pinball Wizard," but neither released the song on a 
commercial single, so neither version charted on the Hot 100.
