Pete Townshend song from the Who's 1969 rock opera Tommy, opening side two of the original LP. Set on Christmas morning, it describes Tommy's parents worrying that their deaf, dumb and blind son cannot know the meaning of Christmas or religion, and it includes the "Tommy can you hear me?" refrain.
Performance tips
- Daltrey's lead sits in a strong mid-range, so sing it with full rock conviction.
- The call-and-response refrain works best with a second singer or the room.
