Love it, think it's a great "live" song.

Not so keen on the choreography though. It was novel the first time but I think they milked it a bit after that. Especially the fact that they tried to make it look as if it was off the cuff too. Also, not a fan of the Leon at the front of the stage with his drum and band either.

I think it's a great song on it's own right and doesn't need any gimmicks to enhance it.

Agreed.

One of these songs that I've always liked since the early days. I first heard it when my mum bought me the In My Chair single and I remember thinking at the time that it was a bit weird. But I still liked it.

Of course, that was a completely different version to the Dog Of Two Head recording, which came as a bit of a surprise to this teenager about 3 years later

Never really got the full "Manston and James" story, did we?

We only got the who and not the why (as far as I'm aware). My guess would be they chose the pseudonym, because it sounded so different and they didn't want to upset the few fans they had gained by then.
Or it had to do with royalties, although I'd not know how ? :div:

I've read or heard something from Bob just recently (I think it might be an interview that is linked from his website) giving a bit more info on the alias (can't spell pseudonym!) thing. I think he hints that they were trying to be a bit 'cute' - maybe royalties or something?

When I first got into Quo as a boy I never really liked this one. Though I would play it as it was easier than trying to fast forward my cassette tape. (All I had in those days). Then when I was a teenager I got to liking it because of the lyrics this poor boy never had a GF at School or for a long time afterwards

. Of course I go and marry a woman called Caroline though don't I.

Ive got a plan and it's as hot as my pants.

frozenhero: It's been over a year since anyone posted in the shoutbox. Is there anything that can be done to maybe gently revive this forum? Aug 10, 2023 21:27:31 GMT

mortified: This message board is almost redundant. I look in every day, just to check on things. But very few come on here any more. The band winding down will be a contributing factor I'm sure. It's not really social media in any other sense. Aug 24, 2023 10:20:51 GMT

PsychedeliCon: Many other communities that used to operate forums have switched over to using Discord Servers these days, which are a much quicker form of discussion. Also doesn't help that Quo haven't released anything new in quite a while. Oct 22, 2023 8:48:01 GMT
