Pinball Wizard - Elton John

Pinball Wizard - Elton John

It genuinely is so eerie and makes you feel like you're in Tommy's mind and feel the same anxiety and stress that he felt.

Especially the chorus part where the vocals all overlap... it genuinely scares me sometimes. They are genuinely all geniuses for being able to put the feeling of Tommy's helplessness into a song.

I gotta say the movie version is catchier and displays a more loud silly sense of evil, but the dreadful disgusting evil of the album's version seems like true evil rather than some silly jester-like evil.

I understand it had to be shorter and less graphic so the movie could be all ages and get more sales at the box-office, but a graphic version of Tommy would've kicked ass with the original version.

But Paul Nicholas did a damn good job doing a more dark song than his usual happy party songs and boat songs. When I listened to his music I expected him to be a hard rock musician like The Who but I had no clue it was gonna be so giddy.

Paul somehow could do such evil character roles despite being such a happy fellow.
