This is the saddest thing I've ever seen on YouTube.

Look, I certainly don't begrudge them making a dollar out of their own songs, and they appear to be having fun but, the song certainly had an influence on me all those years ago, and to see it transformed...well...it's just me I guess.

Now I can understand what McCartney was on about.

Ah,thanks for explaining !I was in a Coles supermarket the other day and heard this.I just assumed that it was a poxy cover of the original by some new poxy act.I wasn't paying much attention to the lyrics.

Status Quo don't need the money?

No even a good advert and surely bad for Coles! Fire the mangy arsed exec. who thought this one up.

Let's remember the Quo this way.

Coles?

I thought they were advertising discounted Marshall amps and quads. Oh well.

Just topping up their pensions, bless them.

What's sad is that there are so many things wrong with that "recording studio" I really don't know where to start!

Whenever I feel too happy, I just pop into a Coles and it cures me immediately. In acute cases, it's Bi-Lo.

'Artistic licence' as usual.However,the studio is a real one,probably the most famous in the world (I don't disagree with that claim on their website)

Abbey Road - Studio - Studio Two
