Status Quo – Whatever You Want

“Whatever You Want” – Single by Status Quo from the album Whatever You Want.
Released 14 September 1979.

“Whatever You Want” is a song by the British rock band Status Quo. Written by Rick Parfitt and Andy Bown, it was released on the album of the same name in 1979 and has become one of the band’s better-known works.

It was written my guitarist Rick Parfitt and keyboardist Andrew Bown who got drunk whilst writing it. After writing, Bown took their work upstairs in order to “Quo it up” by removing some chords, leaving just two during the verses! He came back down and claimed – “I think I’ve done it!”
Francis Rossi claims he was never really very happy with his guitar solo on the track.

The song commences with a quiet introduction, containing a guitar playing notes from chords. Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi used chorus, fuzz and flanging effects on their guitars. This lasts for approximately 26 seconds, and fades out towards the end.
