Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The family and I (downtown and d-man...magic kristen is off at college) went to our friend's house for the big game. Downtown cooked some sliders with a nice chipolte mayonnaise dressing and some chicken skewers...really yummy. During the halftime show, my cell phone started ringing. The ringtone was Magic's...DMX's Party up (Ya'll gonna make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here). I answered it. The following is a close a transciption as I can remember: "Dad" "Hey girlie...what's up" "Who's the band doing the hafltime show" The Who. "The Band doing the Super Bowl halftime. Who is it?" "The Who" "The Band doing the halftime show. Who is this?" The name of the band is The Who. I know I could have milked this for another couple of minutes...but it was pure gold.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Awesome! http://tripatlas.com/Who's_on_First The 1960s comedy group The Credibility Gap recorded a variant in which a rock concert promoter (Harry Shearer) attempts to advertise a concert, headlined by The Who, The Guess Who, and Yes in the ''Los Angeles Times''. When the advertising manager David L. Lander asks him why he does not simply write the ad copy down, Shearer closes the routine by saying, "If I could write, I wouldn't have had to steal this bit!" Eugene Levy and Tony Rosato performed a variation on this theme on the TV series SCTV, with the rock groups The Band, The Who, and Yes. The final punchline changed to "This is for the birds (Byrds)!" "Oh, they split up years ago!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
