I know he's a multi-instrumentalist, but I doubt Andy can get much of a tune out of a plant pot!

A babe like that needs her beauty sleep and here are Quo (an incarnation of), making a racket outside her mansion. I'm surprised she didn't call the police.
I find it funny that they are prancing around as if they are playing Roll Over Lay Down or something of that ilk and yet, nope, this is poop pop Quo. That being said, I like the intro riff etc...and it could have formed into something decent but nope...falls into poop pop.

Not a track I ever liked much. And not a video I've ever watched very often. This might actually be only the second time I've seen it. But it's funny. Listening to the intro again, I'm thinking; 'this is OK, this'. That was unexpected  All it really proves is that I've formed an opinion 30-odd years ago and stuck with it. Without really listening again. Not a very clever trait that  This is going on my iPhone playlist. There might just be a renaissance thing going on here. I'm enjoying this. Either that or I'd better get tested for some form of mental illness. Or at least be seen on the grounds of dubious taste  |

The video budget for this must have been about £4.50p.
Quo videos were by and large dreadful, but this one is staggeringly bad, even worse than Dear John.

I never even saw this until the late 2000s and don’t think many others did too. When we got to the late 80s it became increasingly hard for the promos to be seen on tv. The chart positions may had something to do with it but unless it got previewed on something like ITV’s chart show then you had little exposure. MTV had not quite taken off in uk then and if so they probably wouldn’t have shown many Quo. I probably wouldn’t have seen the Not at all video unless it had been playing on Going live BBC1 when the band appeared to promote it.

I first saw it in the early 90s when I recorded Rick’s One to One interview which was on STV through the night.
Always loved it.

Has anyone who has seen the whole video noticed that Rhino has a broken string in some shots?
Love the song, and maybe is been 12 years since I learned there was a video of the song, those times that only with a german proxy I could see it.

If this praise for dreadful Quo tracks continues then I'm sorry, we'll just have to close down the messageboard.

If this praise for dreadful Quo tracks continues then I'm sorry, we'll just have to close down the messageboard. Tommy, another look by RR007 A much overlooked and maligned song that actually captures the eternal struggle. The lyrics reflect this "Heavens above, his mother would say My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day He's out of his mind, suspended in time" The use of the word "Heaven" reflects the matriarchal despair of his Mother. Only a religious deity can help Tommy who is suffering from depression and hanging from the ceiling in his room, is he dead? We don't know. Further verses reveal a much more disturbing image. "And he tries little lies then he tries to refrain, sayin' Let me go, let me Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go" It's now obvious that Tommy is a prisoner of some Evil twisted cult that has restrained him in his room and Tommy is prepared to lie to be set free. But is that really the case? Have we stumbled on the writers knowledge of or indeed being a witness to the exorcism of a Demon? |

I have always regarded Little Dreamer as 'acceptable', which is not a phrase I want to use when listening to Quo.
It's a bit like 'nice', not the complement it initially appears to be.
However, (tin hat), it's better than anything off of Back To Back.

"tries to refrain"? obviously another example of Rossi's fixation with masturbation |

First time I listen to this song. It's all a bit predictable, derivative and not much Quo. Never again, I'm afraid.
