About

This track, according to Pete Townshend, "wasn't as good as this before I did it with Keith. It's not my favourite one on the LP. It reminds me a bit of Sandie Shaw." [2]

In November 1966, the song was, without the permission of The Who, released in Britain as the fourth single from the My Generation album. It hit number 17 in Sweden, but did not chart in the United Kingdom. It was backed with "The Good's Gone".
