Well done Viv. You've just earned yourself a 1 week forum suspension. 😲Excuse me… pot and kettle spring to mind after your cheesy efforts 😜 If I suspend myself the forum would inwardly collapse. curiousgirl banned me once but promised never to do it again. Not sure I trust her though, I think she had her fingers crossed.

Like it or not it’s put Quo back in the public eye. Nearly 3000 views & 100 comments on this board in 2 days. It’s doing what it’s supposed to do. Advertising & getting across to people. Wait while the 1min 06secs appears on national tv.

They did a few Coles ads noizeboyz and it was a hugely successful marketing campaign for Coles. The M&S ad is so similar to the Coles concept that I knew there must be some connection. Turns out the CEO of M&S, Stuart Machin, spent a decade at Coles in a very senior position before returning to the UK fairly recently! It’s allegedly the 4th most successful advert on Australian tv.

I wouldn't mind if all the supermarkets weren't totally fleecing everyone at the moment. Lowering prices my arse.

Quo must be unique with this, the first emotion when hearing them is happiness, what could be better than that. I remember hearing The Wild Ones for the first time and when they started the "I Remember The Summertime" I actually burst out laughing, I was so happy.

I expect John Fogerty will be happy with the pension top up too. I wonder who re-wrote the lyrics?
<cringe snipped> Can't believe i just typed that out.
It really is something seeing it on a screen, isn't it? Brrr. Maybe it's just me, but I actually quite like the "and they've dropped them and locked them" bits, could have worked for an anti shoplifting ad! It's just you! I usually cut Quo a lot of slack, but nope. Not this time. Also I would have thought it better to keep the ‘ I like it, I like it….. line rather than locked it and dropped etc. Thank you. That is the biggest hook of the song and putting new lyrics on that bit feels wrong in ways I can't even explain.

Riding alone with the thoughts of a scone in my head Thinking all day of something to eat that's not bread I just needed a munch,I missed out on my lunch Everyone dreams of some grub that they own I've decided what'll go on my scone And it's Butter Now. You should get a trophy for that. Holy heck

What a lot of people have missed is how good Francis' vocal is. His voice sounds better than the 2003 recording.
The piano/hammond, some guitars and prob bass are from 2003 recording...not sure if drums were re-recorded.
I hope they do another album, as his voice is still excellent, and the band live are extremely tight.
