Tommy wasn't disabled, he was traumatised by seeing his parents have sex.
I'm curious f anyone here has seen the movie "Tommy" this is a song from the movie. Sung by Elton John.
It's from the album Tommy, and the song was sung by Roger Daltry
There was a movie adaptation. Since Daltry was playing Tommy he couldn't exactly sing so they did have people like Elton John, Ann Margaret and William Shatner sing songs. Elton John sang Pinball Wizard.
So both of you are correct.
I don't remember Elton John singing it, but it has been quite a while since I watched the movie. 🤔
Elton played the top dog Pinball player that Tommy dethroned. He was wearing boots that were like 3ft tall.

Any guesses what Zep song they are referring to?
Whole Lotta Love perhaps?
Did the person who wrote this even listen to any of these bands because those descriptions read like somebody who just browsed the Wikipedia descriptions of them and their albums.
