STATUS QUO - IN THE ARMY NOW

Pete says: "I remember hearing this song for the first time on Top Of The Pops (how I miss that part of my youth!) and for some reason it stuck with me. It's not the most frilliest of tunes from Quo, but I think that's its genius, it's simple and so memorable as a result! The lyrics are very poignant, especially in these uncertain times, and on an impressionable twelve-year-old, there was just something about it all that excited and terrified at the same time. An absolutely belting tune!"


From the album

Five men with 80s hairstyles wearing leather jackets pose together. Text reads "Honeymoon Suite" and "Racing After Midnight." Edgy mood.
