I like the song but the video is awful. You can see by the look on their faces this was not a happy time in the band. Alan was mad that the record company had chosen Francis to sing the lead vocal on his song.

Never been overkeen on this. First time I have heard it in years. Very poppy might have been better without Andys keys?

I do think Alan should have sung his own song, but i disagree that his rougher voice would have suited what is a pretty slick, saccharine sweet Quo song - it's too much of a contrast.
Alan's voice with a grittier, rockier song - yep.

It was the right decision to let release Francis’s version as it didn’t suit Alan’s voice for me. It would have just remained an album track is they had gone with it. Sometimes you have to be realistic about thing’s commercially.
