That has to be "thighs" unless the program is using a politeness app.

Lakky means to be homely, (almost) servitude. Do anything for you.

Bit of artistic licence for a three syllable number. The song is, is it not, a calypso? Quo's only one? I'd rather have my "rude parts" run over with a lawnmower than listen to Bula Quo to find out if there is another calypso,so let's say LL is the only one. Funny how once upon a time,Quo were able to do something different that wasn't mind numbingly bland M.O.R.

Regardless of the lyrical meaning/of the word Lakky, this is (Imo), one of quite a few gems on Ma Kelly, and I love FR's lazy style solo(s) on it. In later years this along with SF, could possibly have been bigger hits than MG if they were re-issued by Pye in the early '70's, (again Imo)...

I think the song is inspired by Arthurian legend & the Lakky Lady in question is just a colloquialised title for the Lady of the Lake with the song commenting on how she had let herself go somewhat in the years subsequent to handing Excalibur to Arthur. How very dare you....!

Gates, the constant calypso and bossa nova remarks can mean only one thing: are you taking dancing lessons?

The Ma Kelly album branches straddles and transitions really well the former era to the upcoming blues boogie. I always thought that as a fledgling band in the pop/fiskadelic period they had already shown glimpses of innovation and subtle influences with songs like Technicolour Dreams, Make Me Stay A Bit Longer ( a little flamenco-esque this one) and others. They carried this innovation through experimentally to both Ma Kelly and the heavier and more definitively rocked up DOTH album and its why I can take the 1968 to 1971 period alone as packed with fascination and contrasting and clever music. Play that whole era to a defiant critic of Quo who think they are limited and one dimensional and I think they have no argument. Let alone what was still to come.
They might have been underrated when the main course began immediately after this time, but I think they were equally underrated in the early>transition period. All very much why I am a fan - its not all about the hey-day (as fantastic as it was) there is more on offer beforehand to my own tastes.

Catlady, I totally agree with your Post. "The Ma Kelly album branches straddles and transitions really well the former era to the upcoming blues boogie. I always thought that as a fledgling band in the pop/fiskadelic period they had already shown glimpses of innovation and subtle influences with songs like Technicolour Dreams, Make Me Stay A Bit Longer ( a little flamenco-esque this one) and others.

All very much why I am a fan - its not all about the hey-day (as fantastic as it was) there is more on offer beforehand to my own tastes." I've said in a few of my Posts that the QUO were a very diverse and versatile music group. This is why the critical discussions about their 'different' albums are futile and redundant, because they were always a band that, ironically, were going to play a variety of music styles. Nobody told the members of " status quo " what the Latin meaning was, because they kept changing, evolving and experimenting. Most of the releases were great, some brilliant and a few were in the WTF category. May be, even the Aqoustic albums are just a part of this fantastic QUO journey. One of my earliest childhood memories is hearing POMM and thinking "oooh! what's this?" because when you're 7 years old you don't think WTF 2 years later I heard DTDustpipe and I thought OMG what is this? This is the best sound I've ever heard. It was track one on RED HOT HITS of that year and because it's such a short song 2 minutes, I played it over n over n over n over!! My words cannot give the credit to those great songs that they deserve. To me STATUS QUO will always be the most under rated band in history. I too love the '68 - '71 period. Vale Rick Parfitt

Vale Rick Parfitt There are probably three main reasons I've been a fan
1) The massive diversity of the 68 to 71 period + fascinating and exciting transition. 2) The main hey-day. The most popular period on this mb. Amazing for all the obvious reasons that don't need repeating and could never be matched again afterwards 3) Because, despite slapstick promotion and some corny songs and gimmicks, there was still plenty enough to keep me interested in them in terms of the back catalogue in more modern day Quo era. Having accepted that the FF had been and gone for so long (up to the reunions), it was easy (for me) to accept them on the best offering of their own merits and not feel let down by comparisons with the vintage earlier periods.
It was the re-visitation offered by a late day FF that broke remaining appeal of 3)
A process of slow alienation had already been in process after about 2009 because of the static increasingly karaoke style and orientated set that parodied the old and refused to adapt instead to the fresh and new and accept what their own catalogue could offer. For me probably the biggest criticism of CQ I have, and which has unfortunately descended even further to the shambles that is now present.

Not true mate other wise you'd hear "Good lack treacle" on Eastenders which uses the cockerney cretins phrasebook for scripts. I wouldn't know, as I have never seen a nanosecond of Eastenders, and plan to keep it that way. It's TV for the intellectually crippled. But how do you know?

Because it's on the BBC....therefore it's "right on, politically correct" shite. I don't need to see it to know that it's shite. If I drop a hammer, I don't need to see it fall, to know that it has, in fact, fallen. What if, unbeknownst to you, one of the beardies leapt up and grabbed it before it fell. Methinks your argument is seriously flawed.
