Probably one of my top 3 videos, the band interacting with everyone in this mall somewhere, happy mode... (But who is the kid that plays Rick's guitar all over, and what are he doing now..? Just curious)

I've often wondered that too. Was he known to the band? Or was he just a random passer by? I think it's a great video too. Everyone having a good time and everyone happy. Lots of smiley faces

Yep, funny video indeed. Reminds a a bit of The Wanderer video - the band taking people by surprise, interacting with whoever happened to be there. As a bonus I really like the song - as opposed to TW.

Never really been a fan of this song, Quo by numbers for me. OK, but what about the video ? What I like about the song is the energy, the way it sweeps you away. It might not be the most imaginative, but it even has a change of tempo, which I've always liked with Quo songs. And for some reason I like the lyrics. In a way they sum up Francis ..

This was the high guitar phase where for some reason Rossi shortened his strap. For some reason it didn't look right.
No idea why he went through that phase

No idea why he went through that phase Maybe the explanation is as simple as him having had spine/back/shoulder problems ? It was about the time when he started working out and going to the gym too, which would've over time helped with physical/muscular problems. In consequence the guitar could come down again later ?

No idea why he went through that phase I'm not a guitar buff, but I know that people who play more technical stuff usually/often have their guitar higher than those who just thrash away playing easy stuff. It's meant to be easier to play with it higher (I'm sure someone will correct me or know the details). I don't know why Francis did it though after 40 years of playing with it lower down??

It also coincided with the Simon Cowell waistband under the armpits look
Conclusion- it's all Rhinos fault for bringing in the Dexy's style influence😀

Didn't they film this in Kingston Shopping Centre? Always thought it was a bit of fun. Love the song.

The song's OK. Only time I ever heard it live was when Quo No played it at The 100 Club supporting Rhino back in May.
The video? Hmm....
Fun I suppose is the operative word. Fair enough.
