Odorono

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating The fake ads in the original Sell Out album were assembled by the Madison Avenue team of Entwistle/Moon, with "Odorono" the exception, being a pretty decent Pete Townshend full-blown song (Townshend also wrote "Jaguar" for the expanded Sell Out). This is enjoyable, but honestly, more clever stuff is being penned daily by high-schoolers with a sardonic bent. Bruce Beatlefan February 7, 2008

Lyrics

Premiere Drums! (x 8)

She sang the best she'd ever sang
She couldn't ever sing any better
But Mister Davidson never rang
She knew he would forget her

She'd seen him there
And put herself to ransom
He had stared
He really was quite handsome

She had really looked her best
She couldn't ever look any better
But she knew she'd failed the test
She knew he would forget her

Triumphant was the way she felt
As she acknowledged the applause
Triumphant was the way she'd felt
When she saw him at the dressing room door

She was happier than she'd ever been
As he praised her for her grace
But his expression changed, she had seen
As he leant to kiss her face

It ended there
He claimed a late appoinment
She quickly turned
To hide her disappointment

She ripped her glittering gown
Couldn't face another show, no
Her deodorant had let her down
She should have used Odorono
