Status Quo return for Coles with Whatever You Want

status quo whatever you wantStatus Quo have picked up their big red hand guitars for another Coles ad campaign.

After the much talked about (and derided) Down Down Prices Are Down remake for the supermarket, the British rockers have now reworked their 1979 hit Whatever You Want.

The polarising nature of the previous campaign led to it being the most Googled Australian ad of 2012.

Coles uses Ted Horton’s Big Red for its advertising.

The lyrics:

I want MY bacon [DOWN DOWN]

MY FAVOURITE cheese [DOWN DOWN]

MILK AND Bread, Lovely Pizza, frozen peas. [DOWN DOWN]

 

I want SOME Pasta [DOWN DOWN]

AND Ice-Cream [DOWN DOWN]

Shampoo, shower gel to keep me clean. [DOWN DOWN]

 

I want AUSSIE beef. [DOWN DOWN]

Lots-a foil [DOWN DOWN]

Coles fruit juice, Muesli bars and cooking oil. [DOWN DOWN]

 

I want SOME snags [DOWN DOWN]

Delicious honey [DOWN DOWN]

Toilet paper, heaps-a stuff that saves me money

 

WHATEVER YOU WANT [DOWN DOWN]

WHATEVER YOU NEED [DOWN DOWN]

THE BIG RED HAND

IS YOUR SAVINGS GUARANTEE [DOWN DOWN]

 

SO, GET INTO COLES [DOWN DOWN]

WHATEVER YOU DO  [DOWN DOWN]

PRICES ARE DOWN DOWN

AND STAYING DOWN FOR YOU [DOWN DOWN]

 

[DOWN DOWN, DOWN DOWN, DOWN DOWN]!
