It was Pete on vocals, though, so it's legitimate-- if a bit curious as to its origins. I have to concur that "Baba O'Riley" probably wasn't going to be well-served by a marching band rendition, though I can think of a few different ways to try. Which may be why I'm not a musician.

(On a related note, as I was leaving work for the day yesterday, I heard a marching band rendition of a medley of songs by the 'Oo, among which were "Who Are You" and "Baba O'Riley". I must admit neither of them are particularly well-suited to marching band renditions, at least partly because of the synthesiser tracks. "Won't Get Fooled Again" I can just about imagine being pulled off by a marching band, though.) I did, however, watch the Vee-gas "CSI" premiere, and did rather suspect as soon as Jorja Fox' name showed up in the opening credits that they had decided to spare Sara. If they had really wanted to leave us guessing until the end of the episode, they would have waited until the end credits to say something to the effect of "Special Appearance by Jorja Fox". I see they've also finally moved Wallace Langham to the opening credits - clearly we can expect to see a lot of Hodges this season. Haven't decided yet if that's good or bad.
