Just seen on Instagram Marks and Spencer’s new ad which has quo singing Saving all over the Store to RAOTW. Feels hugely off brand for M&S
It’s everything you expect.
At least Francis probably got a decent pay day out of it

The Coles/Quo Down Down advertising campaign is recognised as one of Australia’s most successful advertising promos.
Although Quo don’t feature anymore, the Down Down words are used in their ads still…. along with the big red hands.
Funny eh how 50 years after Francis wrote those Down Down words just to fill in a line at some hotel with Bob Young, got Quo a number single plus all these years later it’s still a money earner. Good on him.

Why not. Someone out there might fancy going to see them live or buying a CD and might just think "I wonder what Piledriver or Hello sound like". I'd envy someone discovering Status Quo from Ma Kelly onwards.

I'd envy someone discovering Status Quo from Ma Kelly onwards. But it's not. It's that f***ing song again, the housewives favourite. I've yet to hear someone who rates The Dog, Piledriver, Hello and Quo as their favourite albums rate RAOTW as their favourite song. It's the lowest common denominator pension top-up. |

Unless there is a new album (would it be worthwhile recording a single?), this could be the last recording we hear from Status Quo. Let's just take a minute and think about it  |

You know that expression 'scraping the bottom of the barrel'?
This is what lurks on the underside of that rotten, fetid, stinking barrel. Mind-numbingly awful.
