Quoted from pmWolf:Probably blasphemy, but I can't stand the "Pinball Wizard" song.
Every time a non pinhead comes over to my house....they reference the song as a joke. Every...single...time. I nod and chuckle, but die a little inside every time.
Also..."plays by sense of smell??" I can't get past that line. It's just not possible. Even Daredevil can't play by sense of smell, and he's got super-human senses.
So....I'm on the Silverball hype train.

It's a reference to the Tommy movie that the song comes from. The main protagonist is "Deaf, Dumb, and Blind", so it just an exaggeration of how he'd play pinball.
