I have to say that this is a great version and so fun to see this them like this in a video (from spanish TV?) We all have been there sometime? "She looked to me like a good girl..?"

Nope - not for me, one of many similar tracks that were to follow during the 80s.

Best songs on IYCSTH for me are Accident Prone and Long Legged Linda. The rest is average or bad even. Like A Good Girl is one from the average category. Only average just isn't good enough for Quo from this fan's perspective.

If You Can't Stand The Heat provided me with my first disappointment as a Quo fan after 5 glorious, perfect years. I'm Giving Up My Worryin', Someone Show Me Home and Stones were the poorest Quo tracks I'd heard since I became a fan - and 3 poor songs out of 10 on a Quo album was just unheard of for me. Catastrophic for a young(ish) fan Even the single, Again And Again, was a bit run of the mill. What saved it from being a complete write-off, for me, was most of side 2 which had Oh, What A Night!, Accident Prone (although I wasn't 100% sure when I first heard it) and Like A Good Girl. I love all of them to this day.
I'd heard Andy's original version of Long Legged Linda, which I thought was better, and didn't think Quo did it any real justice. And a writing credit for Rick was just taking the pi$$. Since removed as it happens. Of course, in retrospect, we now know what they (or the record company) were trying to do; giving them that mid-Atlantic sound so they could attempt to crack the American market. Thankfully, it got better again. And quite quickly
