3. Now I'm A Farmer
(Odds & Sods, 1974)
Said Pete Townshend of this whimsical 1970 out-take, "This track is from the period when The Who went slightly mad." Yee-ess. All the necessary early '70s Who ingredients are here; Moony gives it some in proper amyl-nitrate-sellotaped-to-his-hooter style and the Ox acquits himself well, as does Daltrey. But it's Pete's ludicrous words - winking suggestively about eggplants, potatoes and "digging, digging, digging" - that make you, like a drunken Alfie Bass in the Bond films, peer at the label in bleary horror before chucking it over your shoulder.
