Last night on Supernova, Dilana sung The Whos "Won't Get Fooled Again" and admitted earlier in the week that she did not know the song.

Please respond whether you know the song, or you never heard of it.

    wouldn't it have been easier to ask who has never heard of the song? its kind of well known.

    Of course I know that song. Of course I am old--44!!!



    And I agree with PJ& Toast--I watched Last Comic Standing last night--I think it is on the same time as that singing show.

    Not sure how you wouldn't know that song if you ever listen to classic rock radio or were around in those days (I was born in '81 so I picked it up on radio). Definitely one of their better known songs.

    BTW, I'm sure you know that those lyrics are from Who Are You, not Won't Get Fooled Again.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I love that song! Definitely one of their best and most well-known tunes. For those who aren't familiar with it, check out an episode of CSI Miami and listen closely to the theme song.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    Damn...........my eyes read "Won't Get Fooled Again", but my mind translated it into "Who Are You"...................
