Oh, while I remember, Conway Twitty's song is just bubbling under the "Top Ten Voted" and nothing would make me happier seeing this in the top 10 !!!! S.O.S *** calling all fans*** Oi! ... you with the headphones on! Ah, never mind :p
Got the T shirt?

What? no leftys?
The first single issued from the record, "Rockin' All Over the World," Status Quo's cover of a barely known song from ex-Creedence Clearwater Revival leader John Fogerty, became a huge success all around Europe and, paradoxically, grew to be one of the group's most recognized anthems. Indeed, 21 years later, the song, retitled "Runnin' All Over the World," would be released again as the official signature to Sport Aid's Race Against Time event. Other songs that would claim an obligatory presence in the band's live shows over the upcoming decades included the silly but hooky "Dirty Water," the boogie rocker "Hold You Back," and the country-rocker "Can't Give You More" (featured with a different approach in Rock Til You Drop). The straightforward and danceable "Baby Boy" and the soft ballad "For You" also stood out among the record's winners. (The 2005 reissue of Rockin' All Over the World features improved, remastered sound and a cover of the Beatles' "Getting Better," originally included on the All This and World War II film soundtrack of Beatles songs performed by rock bands from the era.) ~ [Robert Aniento, All Music Guide]

* Makes you wonder what the German band the Scorpions would have called themselves once they knew that name was taken?
Rockin' all Over The World
But wait, its ... ?
"Rockin' All Over the World" has been included on most of John Fogerty compilation albums, marking its popularity and place among his greatest ever work. Other versions of this song have been recorded for example by The Georgia Satellites and Bon Jovi, but also by regional artists such as Dutch Bertus Staigerpaip, German Wolfgang Petry and Spanish Platero y tú (outro of "Si tú te vas" song). Beach Boy Carl Wilson recorded it on his 1983 solo album "Youngblood", and The Beach Boys themselves added the song to their live act in the mid-Eighties. Rock star Bruce Springsteen has also played the song many times during the encore at many of his famous live shows.This song is now a Southend United FC anthem after they began singing "Shrimping All Over the World" to the tune of "Rockin' All Over the World" after the 2004 LDV vans throphy final.
The song is also the goalmusic of the German football club Bayer Leverkusen. It is also played at Leyton Orient* after every home win at Brisbane Road. ~ [Source: Wikipedia]

What does RS think of Quo? [do they know who they are?]
Rolling Stone magazine deemed their '413th Song of all Time' was "The Girl Can't Help It" by Little Richard. Little Richard has appeared in The Definitive 1000 @ #439

Would you believe nothing [no,gasp]... and remember this line "They have recorded over 60 chart hits in the UK, more than any other rock group in history. 22 of these have reached the UK Top Ten".
