Sods, Odds And A Piece Of Swag Wilbon Would Probably Not Appreciate For Xmas

“I thought ‘Pinball Wizard’ was Elton John?” complained PTI’s Michael Wilbon earlier this month when the topic of The Who’s participation in the Super Bowl 44 halftime show came up. “You’ve never seen ‘CSI’?” asked an astonished Tony Kornheiser, clearly the sort of student of rock history Townsend & Daltrey’s merchandising arm had in mind when they came up with the garment shown above.

Would that M&T reenact the “Woodstock Slappy” episode of ANIMANIACS, featuring this exchange between crusty old Slappy Squirrel and her cherubic nephew Skippy:

SLAPPY: [As "The Who" plays] Skippy, what’s the name of the band, playing on stage?
SKIPPY: Who.
SLAPPY: The name of the band.
SKIPPY: Who.
SLAPPY: The band, playing on stage.
SKIPPY: WHO!
SLAPPY: THE BAND!
SKIPPY: No Aunt Slappy, “The Band” performs later, “Who” is on stage!
SLAPPY: You tell me.
SKIPPY: Who.
SLAPPY: The name of the band.
SKIPPY: Who.
SLAPPY: The band playing on Stage.
SKIPPY: Who.
SLAPPY: THAT’S WHAT I WANNA KNOW!

… because PTI’s the new vaudeville anyway.
