I heard the first tune somewhere at the end of last week and so with the latest crypto crash I thought how appropriate and so this week's ttt post was born!
And so this weeks ttt post was born!
Yeah here we go with those fun English rockers ~ Status Quo.
Fun Fact this was their only number 1 in the UK singles chart apparently! I do love researching some fun facts for Three Tune Tuesday!
But yeah some of the lyrics really nailing crypto at the moment
Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down…

I said last year with Putin and his fluffing antics and the cost of living as a result of antics coupled with our intent on destroying Mother Earth that we are in trouble. Of course crypto is down, now is the time to hodl and keep building.
I see no sign of this coming to an end anytime soon. I am as positive a person as anyone, but when it comes to gambling I am a realist. And "investing" in cryptocurrencies is just a big gamble.
Let's see if 2024 will bring better news. Personally, I think it will be 2025 before we see any ATH's dotted around the cryptoverse.
That is the beauty of crypto, the experts are the ones making money not giving their so called opinion. Unless of course they are ones manipulating the market!
Next year this song will be 50! 50 I mean what the actual fluff!
Whenever I hear I admit to wanting to bang that head.
What about you does it get you shaking?
The things we learn when researching for ttt!
So I wrote my spiel above and while listening to Deep Down I came across more bones to add to the post and in the process had a right old chuckle!
It just confirms my belief that we should trust our gut instincts!
This is why ...
In July 2012, Status Quo reworked the lyrics to create a three-minute promotional song for the Australian supermarket chain Coles. The chorus chants, "down, down, prices are down". This was released on television and YouTube, the most notable of which depicted a mince rally.
I wonder if @forexbrokr remembers this ad being played by Coles?
"down, down, prices are down"
There is a great article you can read for more info ~ Status Quo rock for Coles commercial
I loved the red hand guitars well to be honest I loved the red hands everywhere.
There is a bit of tongue in cheek convo going on at the end of the video...
One of the producers says “You don’t think people will find this annoying do you?” before being told by the band “No, saving money is never annoying”.
I am sure our Saturday Savings club mentor and leader @shanibeer would totally agree with this statement!
Just to repeat ...
So don't forget my savings partners @coquicoin and
@deraaa to keep squirrelling away your stash!
What a brilliant remake, and when the song is yours I reckon you do what you like with it! Turns out Coles sponsored an Aussie tour for them!
Right then just to totally confuse you I have thrown in a T-rex song called Debora which showcases Marc Bolan before his untimely death and the demise of T-rex.
The reason I included it in this ttt?
“Down Down” was inspired by Marc Bolan
Written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young, “Down Down” was inspired by the Tyrannosaurs Rex song “Debora,” leading Rossi to want to write a chorus that started with a punchy “D” sound. The singer and guitarist also noted that the intro to “Down Down” sounds like their own early song “Pictures Of Matchstick Men,” though the resemblance is an accident.
