abstract
  • %22Rockin' All Over the World%22 is a rock song written by John Fogerty, formerly of Creedence Clearwater Revival. It made its debut on Fogerty's second solo album (see John Fogerty) in 1975. It was also released as a single, reaching #27. Rolling Stone Magazine critic Dave Marsh considered the song a good choice for the album's lead single, although he claimed that it was %22little more than the formulaic CCR sound with the title repeated over and over, like a chant.%22 Status Quo recorded their own, heavier arrangement of Fogerty's song for their 1977 album Rockin' All Over the World. During the recording of Status Quo's music video to the song, bassist Alan Lancaster was living in Australia. He had refused to return to the UK for the recording, so he was replaced by a dummy with a bass guitar in the video.At Live Aid, Status Quo began their set (and thus the event itself, being the opening band) with %22Rockin' All Over the World%22 which first became an unofficial anthem for the event when the BBC used it to advertise their TV coverage. Coldplay performed a portion of the song at Live 8, with lead singer Chris Martin singing the chorus during the song %22In My Place%22, after much was made of Status Quo's absence from the concert in the British media.
