I agree. Quo make it a more engaging and lively listen but it's basically a rather dull song to start off with. I think that I have read or heard somewhere that Quo knew Robert Palmer back in his Vinegar Joe days through touring so the fondness for the guy may have influenced the choice more than they admit when they're trying to big it up as a "real turn on". To such a tight band as Quo, this sort of "almost hypnotic" thing could be done in their sleep. As for the Bryan Ferry version, he sounds as though he is about to croak it. (Thankfully, he was alive and singing well during the recent Roxy Music tour!)
I had to give the track a listen (probably the second time ever) before commenting and I agree with your assessment. Not an offensive song, but not something I’ll be rushing to play for a third time.
I have to say I was never a fan of this song in general, regardless who records it. But I think Quo's version makes it more listenable. But its a skipper really. But thanks for another great review 👍😊

Yeah I wouldn't have thought you'd have an in depth knowledge of their covers albums.

The assessment of Bryan Ferry’s version cracked me up!
Ha ha, yeah I wasn't too keen on it.
Not a major Quo fan so I have never heard this cover. As soon as this ends I'm going to find it.
Oh right, well let us know how you got on.

Yeah I can quite understand why you would hit the skip button if it came on, but, obviously I don't mind giving it a listen occasionally.
