I just found this out by accident... In the song "Catholic Girls", Frank Zappa sang "I got one for a cousin, so send me a dozen"

Status Quo influenced by Zappa? Did they ever comment on lifting that line for The Oriental?

"We all want to intellectualize about music, but it's an emotional thing. Do you like it? Yes. Then there's nothing else to say. Do you not like it? No. Then there's nothing else to say. You don't have to say it's shit or the band are shit. And I believe, too, the most overused words are "great" and "shit." - Francis Rossi
