Question
Ok I really like this old song.  CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER THE NAME.  The guy that sings has a raspy voice so I can't in my head think of what the lines of the songs are.  Seems like the first time I remember hearing it was from Miami Vice (TV).  Starts off with at least a good minute or more of running up and down synthesizer.  Singer sounds to me like could be Joe Walsh, but it's not.  And the only words that I "think" is being said in the chorus are......."It's a put on"
I heard it on the Pilot episode of Fox's "Glee" recently.  Just briefly. The beginning only.  HELP it's driving me nuts.


Answer
 I immediately recognized the song you are thinking of,   and I knew it to be by the Who
 but I had to do a bit of research to find out the name of it.
 It is a cool song,  I have heard it a lot but it never occurred to me what the name of it is.

 The name is Eminence Front by The Who.

 Great song, and good question.  Thanks for asking it,  I would never have bothered to find out
the name of the song otherwise.
