The Who, been singing that song about that deaf, dumb, and blind kid, about a pinball wizard during the Super Bowl halftime. While the Deaf blogosphere been complaining missing the national anthem, none took note of the lyrics during the halftime, so here is it:
PINBALL WIZARD
THE WHO
Ever since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball
But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it? (I don't know)
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him
Even on my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
Anyone cares to sign the Who lyrics in ASL, it's good, plain entertainment. Would the best Deaf pinball wizard please come forward. Perhaps Deafnation should host the Deaf pinball world championship in Las Vegas, the odds of winning are better than those bandits.
This is Smokey, stay tuned for the next episode of Deaf Anthology. Good night, Deaf America!
