That would be The Who with "Teenage Wasteland."  (The official title was "Baba O'Riley".)

The official title is "Baba O'Riley", not was.  Neither was Teenage Wasteland ever the title.  Named by Pete Townshend who drew inspiration from Indian guru Meher Baba and composer Terry Riley.

Every now and then we resurrect a topic I like to call "songs with the wrong name."
I'm not going to look for it, but you know the songs.
Hey, this might make a good everything trivia question.

I meant, on the album, the official title was "Baba O'Riley" because that's what was written on the cover.  Thus, my usage of the past tense. 

No relation to the Swami Sali Maharishi Baba, or Sali Baba for short.
