Quo blimey

It's difficult to know where to begin with this landmark in popular culture. So let's just begin with one simple word: AMAZING.

Of course, in the tradition of Scooter's penchant for badly reima­gin­ing KLF records this is a bit like the Tammy Wynette col­lab­or­a­tion 'Justified & Ancient', except shit. But in the same way that this Status Quo col­lab­or­a­tion is amazing but also not amazing, its shitness is also not really shit, because it is exactly 100% totally and undeni­ably the record Scooter wanted to make. It is a roaring success. And the video! It's the perfect cross between 'Walk This Way', 'Dancing On The Ceiling' and 'Where The Streets Have No Name'.

if Argos have got any sense AT ALL they should dump whichever lame TV ad campaign they've got planned for Christmas and replace it with a mentalist ravecore version of this classic piece of con­tem­por­ary cinema from the year 2000.

Imagine it. A Sugababes vs Quooter, 'Here Come The Girls' vs 'Whatever You Want', Boots vs Argos Christmas Number One chart face-off.
