Roger Daltrey: Roger Daltrey

Quotes 

• Roger Daltrey : [deleted scene]  How are you doing out there, New Springfield?

  Marge Simpson : To be honest, it's a little chilly.

  [gets hit with a microphone] 

  Marge Simpson : Ow!

  Roger Daltrey : Shut the fuck up, Marge!

• Homer : [shouting a song request]  "Magic Bus"!

  Roger Daltrey : [agreement from the other townspeople]  Okay, we'll play "Magic Bus" if you tear down this wall.

  Homer : [oblivious]  "Pinball Wizard"!

  Pete Townshend : Oh, hell, I'll do it meself.

  [he turns his amp up to "Whuh-Oh!" and strums the power chord of "Won't Get Fooled Again"] 

• John Entwistle : People, please. What's all this fightin' about?

  Pete Townshend : Apparently, they have two different area codes.

  Roger Daltrey : Well, I'll be chuggered. That's a sticky wicket. Why not just buy telephones with auto ring-up? Or as you Yanks call it, speed dial.

  [intrigued murmuring] 

  Roger Daltrey : Radio Shack has some great ones.

  Pete Townshend : Ah, says you.

• Mayor Quimby : Give us back our concert, Simpson!

  Homer : So, New Springfield's looking pretty good now, isn't it? With our ample parking and daily Who concerts.

  Roger Daltrey : Daily?

  Homer : We'll talk.

• Guard : Oh, so you wanna see the Who, huh? Well, I'll take you to the Who.

  [throwing Bart and Homer into the band's hotel room] 

  Guard : Here's your Who!

  Roger Daltrey : I thought we fired that guard.

  Guard : [sarcastic]  Oh, yeah, right. I got fired by the Who. Whatever you say, pal.

  [whistling and doing the "crazy" hand gesture at his temple] 

  Guard : Wacko.

• Homer : I implore you to move your concert to our town. Don't play Olde Springfield. Or, as it is sometimes known, Sun City.

  Roger Daltrey : But we have a handshake agreement with a concert promoter, and that's a sacred bond.

  Pete Townshend , Roger Daltrey , John Entwistle : Sacred bond.

  Homer : Come on, what happened to the angry, defiant Who of "My Generation", "Won't Get Fooled Again", and "Mama's Got a Squeeze Box"?

  John Entwistle : We know our songs, Homer.

  Homer : But those Olde Springfield squares are just gonna make you cut your hair, turn down your music, and wear frilly shirts like Keith Partridge.

  Roger Daltrey : [taken aback]  Keith Partridge? Who huddle.

  [huddling and muttering together] 

  John Entwistle : We'll do it.

  Bart : [high-fiving Homer]  Yeah!

  John Entwistle : Just send a cab for us.

  Homer : What, is something wrong with your legs?

• Homer : Wow, the Who!

  [laughing gleefully, he smashes a lamp] 

  Homer : Whoo! Rock and roll!

  John Entwistle : [Bart starts kicking the drum kit's bass drum]  What the hell are you doing?

  Bart : Duh. Trashing the hotel room.

  Pete Townshend : But we promised the desk clerk we'd be good.

  Roger Daltrey : Yeah, we don't want to lose our pool privileges.

  Homer : Whatever. The point is, I'm Homer Simpson.

  John Entwistle : The mayor of New Springfield?

  Homer : That's right.

  Roger Daltrey : The crazy mayor of New Springfield?

  Homer : That's right.

• Pete Townshend : We were expecting a bigger crowd, Homer.

  Homer : Oh, don't worry, they'll be here soon, and then they'll see who's got the better town.

  [giving Roger a setlist] 

  Homer : Now, these are the tunes I want you boys to play.

  Roger Daltrey : [giving it a once-over]  Wait a minute. Homer, a lot of these are Grand Funk Railroad songs.

  John Entwistle : And we don't know "Pac-Man Fever".

  Homer : Oh, come on, it plays itself.

  [taking Pete's guitar, strumming and singing off-key] 

  Homer : A Pac-Man fever/A-doodle-ee-do/It's a-drivin' me a craa-aa-aazy!

  [waving to Lisa] 

  Homer : Look, Lisa, Daddy's in the Who.
