Odorono

"Odorono" is a song written by Pete Townshend that was first released by English rock band The Who on their 1967 album ''The Who Sell Out''. Townshend sings the lead vocal rather than normal Who lead singer Roger Daltrey. The song praises the virtues of an actual American deodorant named "Odo-Ro-No". It has been covered by Petra Haden and Acme Rock Group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/search/track/Odorono/order:default-asc )
==Lyrics and music==
The concept behind ''The Who Sell Out'' was to make the album sound like a pirate radio station, including fake commercials between the songs. "Odorono" fitted with the concept by being a phony commercial for a brand of underarm deodorant, but it is also a substantial song in its own right.〔 The lyrics tell the story of a woman singer who has just completed a successful performance and awaits a handsome man named Mr. Davidson to come backstage to congratulate her.〔〔 In the words of Townshend, "it looks like she's all set, not only for stardom but also for true love".〔 But when Mr. Davidson bends over to kiss her, her body odor turns him off, ruining her chances at both stardom and love.〔〔〔〔 The song ends with the admonishment that "Her deodorant had let her down / She should have used Odorono".〔〔
The song represents the increasing importance of narrative in Townshend's songwriting.〔 Townshend was proud of the song, stating that he "dug" it because "it was a little story, and although I thought it's a good song, it was about something groovy — underarm perspiration."〔 And of the singer's hopes being disappointed, Townshend went on to say: "And you know, without getting too serious about it, because it's supposed to be very light, that's life. It really is. That really is life."〔
The Mr. Davidson in the song may have referred to Harold Davidson, who was a famous booking agent in London at the time the song was written.〔 Although the song is a fake commercial, a real deodorant product named Odorono once existed.〔〔
The Who recorded "Odorono" on October 11, 1967 at IBC Studios. In addition to singing, Townshend plays rhythm guitar on the song.〔〔
