The Lyrics
Let's play "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"! For $100: Name Abbott & Costello's favorite rock band. Is it A) The Who, B) Yes, C) The Band, or D) The The?
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
I woke up with a contract all signed to play baseball for a team.
Reported to the park that afternoon and the coach told me about his scheme.
"You'll be playing right field, and I'm gonna call you 'Where.'
When the ball's a base hit to you, throw it to the first baseman there.
His name is Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
That's all you gotta know! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Tell ya, he is Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
And that's all you need to know!" (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
I ran onto the outfield grass with this guy named Because.
He tossed a ball over to Why and then he stopped to give me some pause.
"Today is catching," he said, "and Tomorrow is on the mound.
The first baseman's got the team's best bat, when he hits, it's a mighty sound.
His name is Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
That's all you gotta know! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Tell ya, he is Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
And that's all you need to know!" (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
(instrumental break)
You are Who, are Who, are Who, are Who...
(instrumental break)
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
The infield tossed the ball, I Don't Know to I Don't Care.
The horsehide sphere went to What, and he threw with such expert flair.
I told the first baseman, "Bud and Lou think you're just the tops!
And the way you hit the ball, this team won't have no more big flops!
And You are Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Tell ya, tell ya, You are Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
And that's all I gotta know! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Ah, you are f---in' Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
And You are Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Tell ya, tell ya, You are Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
And that's all I gotta know! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Ah, you are f---in' Who! (You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!)
Ah, you are Who! Who! Who! Who! Ahhhh, you are Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!
You are Who, Who, Who, Who, Who!

A better title might have been "Who's On First?" Unfortunately, that one has been taken.
Great parody on a classic comedy skit. Good blend of the arts here. Mike, you do well when you got those meds workin' for you. 5x5x5
Five chalupa's, Man
Nice job on this one. Regarding William Burroughs and cell phones, he would have regarded the users as ones with big red babboon asses that talk.
Now, this was brilliant. But still sporty.
