Entertaining song version - thanks!
"Pinball Wizard" term still hackneyed nonetheless.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:I find it amusing how most of us would rather be called a "pinhead" than a "pinball wizard."
I find it amusing that you know what most of us “would rather”.

Not sure what you're driving at. I see pretty universal disdain for "pinball wizard," and "pinhead" is interesting in that while "______ head" is a widely used idiom for any enthusiast of whatever, "pinhead" predates that usage as a deprecatory slang word for someone suffering from microcephaly or, by extension, any stupid person, despite which pinball folks embrace the term. That's the amusing part.
Sorry I didn't explain before. What, are you both kinds?

Sorry, I just don't see that out in the real world...just in this thread.
It’s the same reason as a former skydiving instructor I cringe every time I hear free fallin by Tom Petty. People learn your interests then beat certain songs to death!
