Townshend wrote the song equally a endmost number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human traits into a synthesizer and used it as the main bankroll instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'due south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a project was abandoned in favour of Who'due south Next, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed every bit a staple of the band'south setlist since 1971, ofttimes equally the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

Groundwork [edit]
The song was originally intended for a stone opera Townshend had been working on, Lifehouse, which was a multi-media exercise based on his followings of the Indian religious avatar Meher Baba, showing how spiritual enlightenment could exist obtained via a combination of band and audience.[3] The song was written for the cease of the opera, afterwards the main grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song equally one "that screams defiance at those who feel whatsoever crusade is better than no cause".[5] He subsequently said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", just stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, calculation, "Don't await to come across what y'all expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle afterwards said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and maxim them for the first time."[7]
Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan's The Mysticism of Audio and Music, which referred to spiritual harmony and the universal chord, which would restore harmony to humanity when sounded. Townshend realised that the newly emerging synthesizers would allow him to communicate these ideas to a mass audience.[eight] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-manner questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the consequence into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Once again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an Ems VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did non play whatsoever sounds directly as information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ equally an input betoken.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[xi]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the start of April at Mick Jagger'south house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to assist with production, and he decided to re-apply the synthesized organ track from Townshend'south original demo, as the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to be inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electric guitar and bass.[14]
Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow body guitar fed through an Edwards volume pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given by Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his main electrical guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the end consequence sounded so skillful to the ring and Johns, they decided to utilize it equally the final have.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[13] [xiv] The runway was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abased as a projection, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Once again", along with other songs, were so good that they could merely exist released as a standalone single anthology, which became Who's Next.[sixteen] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]
