"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English language stone band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released equally a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final runway on the band'southward 1971 anthology Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song equally a endmost number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connexion he had found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human traits into a synthesizer and used it as the primary backing instrument throughout the vocal. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, only re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a projection was abased in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward anthology, where information technology also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often every bit the set closer, and was the terminal song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Likewise as being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing equally i of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Anthology Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The song was originally intended for a rock opera Townshend had been working on, Lifehouse, which was a multi-media do based on his followings of the Indian religious avatar Meher Baba, showing how spiritual enlightenment could be obtained via a combination of band and audition.[3] The song was written for the cease of the opera, after the main graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving backside the government and regular army, who are left to slap-up each other.[4] Townshend described the song every bit one "that screams defiance at those who feel whatsoever cause is better than no crusade".[v] He later said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "Nosotros'll be fighting in the streets", only stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to encounter what you lot wait to run into. Wait nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "maxim things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the beginning fourth dimension."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'due south The Mysticism of Sound and Music, which referred to spiritual harmony and the universal chord, which would restore harmony to humanity when sounded. Townshend realised that the newly emerging synthesizers would let him to communicate these ideas to a mass audition.[8] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-way questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS iii filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He later on upgraded to an ARP 2500.[ix] The synthesizer did non play any sounds direct as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input betoken.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electrical guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's outset try to record the song was at the Record Found on W 44 Street, New York City, on 16 March 1971. Manager Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the group, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was done by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mount bandmate, Leslie Westward, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh effort at recording was made at the starting time of April at Mick Jagger'due south house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with product, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend'south original demo, as the re-recording of the role in New York was felt to be inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electrical guitar and bass.[xiv]

Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow torso guitar fed through an Edwards volume pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given by Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his main electrical guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[fifteen] Although intended equally a demo recording, the terminate outcome sounded then proficient to the band and Johns, they decided to use information technology as the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the finish of Apr.[xiii] [xiv] The track was mixed at Island Studios past Johns on 28 May.[xiii] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a projection, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so good that they could simply be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'south Adjacent.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was start released in the Britain as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwards to 3:35. Information technology replaced "Backside Blue Eyes", which the grouping felt didn't fit the Who'south established musical fashion, equally the choice of unmarried. It was released in July in the US. The B-side, "I Don't Even Know Myself" was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in 1970 for a planned EP that was never released. The unmarried reached No. 9 in the UK charts and No. fifteen in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who'south Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared equally the closing track of Who's Next, released in August in the The states and 27 Baronial in the UK, where it topped the anthology charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Over again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a rock song.[twenty] Who author Dave Marsh described vocalizer Roger Daltrey'south scream near the end of the track as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of it that the song has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Rock 'southward The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension.[23] As of March 2018 information technology was certified Silvery for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

In Feb 2010, the group airtight their prepare during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[xxx] While the Who have continued to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track equally "the quintessential Who's Next track but non necessarily the best."[32]
