Whiskey Man along with Boris the Spider were probably my favorites from that one. With Keith Moon's driving back beat and Entwhistle's heavy bass, Boris the Spider was a speaker buster.

"Look who's climbing up my wall, black and hairy very small
Now he's dropped onto the floor, heading for the bedroom door."

About all I can remember.
