Quo's uncool Christmas tune
Rockers STATUS QUO are competing for Britain's Christmas number one single with the "uncoolest" song of their 40-year career.
The Rockin' All Over The World hitmakers released their first Christmas tune, It's Christmas Time, on Monday (08Dec08) - and they're not kidding themselves about the quality of the festive favourite.
Frontman Francis Rossi tells WENN, “The song is obscenely commercial - it’s perfect for Christmas. If you are worried about being cool, don’t bother. It has to have every cliche in the book.â€
But the track is well out of contention in the race for the coveted U.K. Christmas number one - the winner of Saturday night's (13Dec08) TV talent show X Factor is the clear favourite to land the festive chart-topper with a new version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
