“lovely buttocks”

Wow – good job putting this on! Good sound too. I scratched my copy of that single on some party years ago when it fell off the cupboard and someone danced on it. it sounds exactly the same. Daltrey and Townshend themselves are embarassed by this song but i think it’s amazing. It was the last thing before they went all pompous with tommy.

I’ve got the ‘Best of the Who’ on German Polydor vinyl (cat no 184152)…the whole lp is identical to the uk release ‘Direct Hits’,but the german vinyl has an echo feel throughout soundwise..and Dogs is no exception..great to hear a vinyl version – thanks for posting this!!

One of Pete’s forgotten (unfortunately) classics!

amazing song ik was nog een jochie dat met een grote transitorradio onder mijn arm de buurt kennis liet maken met o.a deze fucking amazing song

If anyone has an mp3 of this they’d like to send me I’d be most grateful. Cannot find it anywhere! Got it on vinyl but no way of transferring it. One of my favourite Who songs.

grande e fresca canzone della mia rock band preferita. da rivalutare assssssolutamente

Nope, it’s “There was nothing in my life bigger than beer, ‘ceptin you little darling…”

forbiddenvalley September 1, 2010 at 7:05 pm

…such a great song..something from their long and forgotten past…fantastic!!!

A great writer of little stories in songs ; always finding inspiration from sources others would never think about.I love it as the love story centres around their mutual love of the dog track and especially as towards the end the lyric changes from ‘with a Greyhound at either knee’ to ‘with a BABY on either knee’….

Cravatman September 1, 2010 at 8:22 pm

Brilliant. Thanks. Never heard it from the 45.

robotica99 September 1, 2010 at 8:22 pm

This was deservedly the A side in the UK! B Side was Call Me Lightning.

jonvalinski September 1, 2010 at 8:55 pm

Brilliant song by the brilliant WHO.

buchananstreet September 1, 2010 at 9:14 pm

possibly their best song ever – deserves to be one of the ten best rock songs of all time but our dull times have forgotten it. daft pricks.

Sids60sSounds September 1, 2010 at 9:50 pm

Oh yes, all my clips are direct from vinyl!

eshannonhouse September 1, 2010 at 10:32 pm

This does sound fuller and ballsier than the boxed set mix. Is this directly off a vinyl 45? BTW I thought is was “bigger than bigger” not bigger than beer. LOL.

mugwamp4 September 1, 2010 at 10:58 pm

one of the greatest lines in all of rock …”.nothing in my life bigger than beer!!”

Quadrophenia47 September 1, 2010 at 11:41 pm

i never heard daltrey sing with his british accent. cool

blatspanner September 1, 2010 at 11:47 pm

this is fuckin’ amazin’.

sirmelancholia September 1, 2010 at 11:49 pm

Whoa! I’ve never heard that Harmonica before. This sounds like a different mix than the one on the Maximum R&B Boxed Set.

The Who cut a lot of non-LP tracks in their heyday, and they all turned out to be good…..
