"Baba O'Riley" is a song performed by The Who, recorded on the album Who's Next in 1971. The song appeared in the Miami Vice episode "Out Where the Buses Don't Run".

NotesEdit

• A live version of the song is used on the show, as opposed to the original studio recording. This is the only time this occurs in Miami Vice.
• Roger Daltrey is the lead singer for all but the middle portion of the song, where Pete Townshend sings the line "Don't cry, don't raise your eye, it's only teenage wasteland". Due to this line and the chorus that follows, many people mistake the title of this song as "Teenage Wasteland".
• The song is used as the theme to CSI:NY (which ran from 2004-2013), on which Edward James Olmos guest starred in the seventh season in 2010. Another song on the Who's Next album, "We Don't Get Fooled Again", was the theme to the Miami-based crime drama, CSI:Miami, that ran from 2002-2012.
