No, it's magic, apparently, but I am not belonging to the group targeted....

STATUS QUO did worse from 78'ish too 81'ish then John left and they made more bad records . Cant comment on the band in the vid as I have no interest.

The duck thinks he's hilarious but he's just a complete tool. That and he can't sing.
CUOY? Yeah, we know you're a backstabber, Cletus.

Hi americanquo, I presume you mean the direct rip off of Dimples? Yes, I don't understand that either, cos the lyrics and the tune are almost identical. But I can only assume that as JL Hooker died in 2001, no one from his estate could be bothered to bring a breach of copyright suit against Quo. This track came out on Heavy Traffic around that time. Maybe its even a tribute to him, who knows. But it ain't original, that's for sure. |

I'm sure there are some who've ordered the live cd.

Check out his version of Dimples on his latest album. |

Thought I recognised that footage - I filmed it! Windermere gig on 18 June. I remembered the date because it was the 32nd anniversary of my first Quo gig.

Dear God Almighty, this is tragic. 100 percent agree. And to think Francis was very critical of the first reunion tour along with suggesting fans of FF wanking themselves. |

Creeping (CUOY) should actually be called The Stalker Song... its quite appalling lyrically if you're a woman. Whereas the original Dimples is about loving and admiring this woman's qualities. Her walk, the way she sings and her dimples. That's rather lovely.

It's probably just me.... but there's something wrong when seeing Andy 'creeping' around the stage and walking backwards....it's just not Quo...faaark when I think of the Quo I saw back in the 70s!!! I know, I know plenty of people still love to see this but hmmmm...I guess I'm stuck in the past. :-)

Fortunately, the stalkerish overtones of Creepin' were balanced out by the political correctness of The Oriental, which received The Guardian newspaper's Song of the Year 2002 award.
