"Rockin' All Over the World" is a rock song written by John Fogerty, formerly of Creedence Clearwater Revival. It made its debut on Fogerty's second solo album in 1975. It was also released as a single, spending six weeks in the US top 40, peaking at #27.^[2]

Status Quo recorded their own, heavier arrangement of Fogerty's song for their 1977 album Rockin' All Over the World. The cover peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart and also charted in several other countries. In July 1985, Status Quo opened Live Aid at Wembley Stadium with "Rockin' All Over the World".^[3] Fogerty has given the cover a positive appraisal, occasionally making joking reference to it as the better-known version in introducing the song at UK gigs, and has talked about how the success of Status Quo's version came during a "very dark period" in his life and "made [him] feel much better". In an interview with Uncut magazine, he said that "it's wonderful to have a cover that's much better known than the original" and stated that he didn't mind that many people mistakenly believed that Status Quo wrote the song.^[4]

Reception

Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh considered the song a good choice for the album's lead single, although he claimed that it was "little more than the formulaic CCR sound with the title repeated over and over, like a chant."^[5] Billboard exclaimed "Good news for rock and roll fans. John Fogerty is back, capturing all the deceptively simple magic frantic feel that made Creedence a groundbreaking rock group in the '60s," praising the vocals, instrumentals and the title.^[6] Cash Box said that "every kid in town should sit up and take note of the simple drive, and cut out all that complicated crud."^[7]

Status Quo version

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. Quo's version was their 8th UK top ten hit, peaking at #3.

At Live Aid, Status Quo began their set (and thus the event itself, being the opening band) with "Rockin' All Over the World" 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 "In My Place", after much was made of Status Quo's absence from the concert in the British media.

The song has found widespread usage in the sports world. In 1988, to support Sport Aid, Status Quo re-recorded the song as "Running All Over the World" with slightly amended lyrics. It reached #17 in the UK Singles Chart. In the 21st century, Status Quo's 1977 rendition has become both an anthem of English football and European football more broadly, including as German side Bayer Leverkusen's post-goal track (a song played over the PA system whenever a goal is scored by the home team).^[10] The song is played over the PA system after England international matches, to which the crowd sings along. It is also popular as a crowd chant, with both original and modified lyrics, at various clubs around England, including Arsenal^[11] (modified, "Saka and Emile Smith Rowe"), Millwall^[12]^[13] (original) and Wrexham (modified, "Super Ben Foster In Goal").^[14] The song was also adapted by England and Manchester United women's teams fans as "Tooney and Lessi Russo". Following Alessia Russo's transfer to Arsenal, Ella Toone admitted that she was upset to hear the chant modified as "Lotte and Lessi Russo" when Manchester United faced Arsenal.^[15] Bolton Wanderers uses the song whenever the home team wins their matches at home. A portion of the song was played in the background music of the episode of the ITV Sport show English Football League Highlights when Katie Shanahan was presenting a match between Millwall and Sunderland.

Another re-recorded version by Status Quo - a cover of the original 1977 record - appeared on their album Riffs in 2003. The song was reprised once again, in 2014, for Status Quo's thirty-first studio album, Aquostic (Stripped Bare), as an acoustic arrangement. It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.^[16]^[17]

-==Other versions==
-Other versions of this song have been recorded by [[The Georgia Satellites]] and [[Bon Jovi]], and also by artists outside the English-speaking world such as Dutch [[Bertus Staigerpaip]], German [[Wolfgang Petry]] and Spanish [[Platero y Tú]] (outro of "Si tú te vas" song). [[Carl Wilson]] recorded it on his 1983 album ''[[Youngblood (Carl Wilson album)|Youngblood]]'', and [[The Beach Boys]] themselves added the song to their live act in the mid-'80s.  [[Bruce Springsteen]] has performed the song a number of times during his famous live shows, and it was the final song played in his 2009 [[Working on a Dream Tour]]. During [[Hard Rock Calling]] 2012, Springsteen appeared on stage with Fogerty to perform the song with him.
-The song has found a usage in the sports world as well. In 1988, to support [[Sport Aid]], Status Quo re-recorded the song as "Running All Over the World" with slightly amended lyrics. It reached #17 in the UK Singles Chart. In the 21st century, Status Quo's 1977 rendition has become both an anthem of English football and European football more broadly, including as German side [[Bayer Leverkusen]]'s post-goal track (a song played over the PA system whenever a goal is scored by the home team).<ref>https://www.bayer04.de/en-us/news/bundesliga/b04h96-facts-and-stats-against-favourite-opponent</ref> The song is played over the PA system after England international matches, to which the crowd sings along. It is also popular as a crowd chant, with both original and modified lyrics, at various clubs around England, including [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/03/28/emile-smith-rowe-claims-one-teammate-cant-stop-playing-rockin-all-over-the-world-viral-chant/ | title=Emile Smith-Rowe discusses ring leader of viral chant | date=28 March 2022 }}</ref> (modified) and [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17j4rFPAaLY | title=Rocking All over the World &#124; Millwall - Charlton Athletic &#124; South London Derby | website=[[YouTube]] }}</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/millwallfc/status/1089530970691100672 {{Bare URL inline|date=July 2022}}</ref> (original). Another re-recorded version by Status Quo - a cover of the original 1977 record - appeared on their album ''[[Riffs (Status Quo album)|Riffs]]'' in 2003.
-During an episode of the 2013 [[BBC2]] series ''The Story of Music'', when presenter [[Howard Goodall]] was discussing the ''[[galant|style galant]]'' popularised by composers such as [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], the song was performed by a [[string quartet]] and classical singer.  The performance was used to illustrate that using a restricted palette of chords was just as much a feature of late 18th-century music as it is a feature of modern-era artists such as Status Quo.
-The song was reprised, in 2014, for the Status Quo's thirty-first studio album ''[[Aquostic (Stripped Bare)]]''. It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's ''[[Roundhouse (venue)|Roundhouse]]'' on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by [[BBC Radio 2]] as part of their ''In Concert'' series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/status-quo/2014/roundhouse-london-england-bccc99e.html|title=Status Quo Concert Setlist at Roundhouse, London on October 22, 2014 - setlist.fm|work=setlist.fm|access-date=25 February 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/t5RRN4k2Y2dDhcxdtkfjfN/status-quo-acoustic |title=Status Quo - Acoustic |work=Radio 2 In Concert |publisher=bbc.co.uk|access-date=25 February 2015}}</ref>
