looking back it is almost a piss take..almost as if they were trying to distance themselves from the the rock band that played Milton Keynes..almost as if they are winding up AL and JC..sad thing is for me the contrast was not as noticeable back then..must have had the Quo blinkers on..never mind Rhino what the fcuk is Rick looking like in that clip..the man that sends shivers down your spine as he opens with Caroline..one of their worst ever singles.

My God, this is horrible. I mean, shockingly bad. This should be illegal. It is still a piece of music that could potentially give you ear cancer but you really had to experience what it is was like to witness that clip when it was first aired in 1986. There were people on the old official message board who used this track as an example of how Quo had "matured and progressed".

And coming so soon after the last gasp of the original lineup, it must have prompted a lot of suicidal thoughts. Hell, I just heard it and it caused suicidal thoughts.

Their record sales absolutely collapsed in 1988 and 1989 and never recovered.This track is one of the main culprits of that.It was the last single release until Ain't Complainin' in '88 and left such a foul lingering stench that nothing could erase the memory of it.

The name became a joke , a few on here might disagree but they've got blinkers on .

Also... Rhino is a dopey lookin' dick. Regardless of what we like or don't like, and you know where I stand. We should never get that personal. Its out of order. Agreed.... you would never do that would you Rockin?

Shame cos I think the song was actually good, it was just recorded all wrong and yes Rhino really doesn't do himself any favours with his dance here. Not planning to watch the video as I have better things to waste my time on (see what I did there?) but I agree with you in saying that the song itself isn't that bad, but the arrangement really makes it as bad as can be. I mean, after all Francis wrote this in the early 70s with Bernie Frost. It could have been done by the original lineup and would obviously have sounded quite different.
