If we thrive under Xia then from now on I will side with the Chinese over the Yanks in every economic, land, maritime, or territorial dispute.

I think I'm turning Chi-i-nese
I think I'm turning Chi-i-nese
I really think so.
Doo-doo-doo-do-do-do-do

you do know the song is about wanking?

As is Pictures of Lily by the Who.

Don't even mention "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo.

Oh, go on, then.

10 cc and The Pet Shop Boys.

How on earth did the Quo move from that to the turgid, two chord bollocks they churned out for most of the rest of their career?

[peter w]

It is a great tune. Gareth Bale on the hammond organ too.

[Ian.]

I never knew that song was by Quo. Blimey, I didn't know they had it in them.

Exactly my reaction. I can't stand Quo but to be fair I've only heard the usual shite, I actually liked that song above.

Totally right Martin. It is a great tune, much better then the demin clad shit that followed.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Give Quo's first album a listen it's well worth it. Although I suspect they spent sometime listening to The Move

[Sexual Ealing]

No they're strangely quiet in Bordesley Green tonight.

One of them must have uncovered a stash of bubble wrap.

*Applauds*

I remember reading that their early sound was guided by their management, who wanted them to chime with the zeitgeist. Once it was up to the band themselves they were able to pioneer the meat and potatoes genre that's made them one of the shittest bands ever.

[Malandro]

The latest tangent - songs about wanking. This thread is a big favourite.

They were trying to be the British CCR.

[mr underhill]

But without the John Fogerty swamp wank groove?

[Stirchley Villain]

Obviously... Or the talent.

[Saunders9]

Who's who now updated on the official site. Good to see Sir Brian there and no Mr Riley
