Did Status Quo have any other popular songs? I have never heard one.

Everyday they play a Status Quo song we never heard before.
They are like DePeche Mode. Huge hits in England.

50 Shades Of Blue

Not that I don't know a LOT of songs from this era, but I didn't recognize it as a cover when CVB did it ... I soon found out it was cause people talked about it, but ... not at first.

I dig Goofy Ben Stiller on Keys ... btw, are these dudes all wearing wigs?

Status Quo was huge in Britain with close to 30 top ten hits there but this tune was their sole hit here, strange.
