Disguises (The Who song)

"Disguises" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by guitarist Pete Townshend, and first released on the group's 1966 extended play Ready Steady Who. It, along with "I'm a Boy" are of the earliest compositions in which Townshend questions gender identity and identity crisis', a prevalent aspect found later in his songwriting. "Disguises" and "I'm a Boy" also marks the first time Kit Lambert received credit as a record producer for the Who, something that had previously been credited to Shel Talmy and Townshend.

The thematic concept for the song proved successful and Townshend was subsequently praised by critics. It has since been covered by the Jam as the B-Side for their top-five single "Funeral Pyre" in 1981 and Of Montreal for their 1997 EP The Bird Who Ate the Rabbit's Flower.
