Introduction
Have you ever stumbled across a song that just grabs you from the first note? That’s exactly what happened to me with Status Quo’s “Mad About The Boy.” It’s not one of their chart-topping hits that everyone knows, but there’s something special about this track that deserves your attention.
Status Quo, those masters of no-nonsense boogie rock, brought their signature style to this song with that unmistakable driving rhythm and straightforward approach that made them legends of British rock. If you’re familiar with the band, you’ll recognize their DNA instantly – those chugging guitars, the steady beat, and that distinctive Quo sound that’s carried them through decades of rock history.
What makes this particular track interesting is how it sits within their extensive catalog. While the band is primarily known for hits like “Rockin’ All Over the World” and “Whatever You Want,” their deeper cuts often reveal different dimensions to their musicality. “Mad About The Boy” showcases their versatility while remaining true to the formula that made them one of the most enduring acts in rock music.
There’s something refreshingly honest about Status Quo’s approach to music – they never pretended to be anything they weren’t. No pretension, no frills, just solid rock music delivered with conviction. This unpretentious attitude helped them connect with fans across generations and build one of the most loyal followings in rock.
Next time you’re diving into Status Quo’s catalog, don’t just stick to the greatest hits. Take a detour to “Mad About The Boy” and experience another facet of a band that helped define British rock for decades. Sometimes it’s these lesser-known tracks that reveal the true heart of a band’s musical journey.

Lyrics
She never has to worry and she never has to try
She’s never in a hurry and I know the reason why
She’s got her Daddy’s and her fingers in some pies
She makes a double of a trouble with her lies
She says, Oh I’m mad about the boy
She says, Oh I’m mad about the boy
She says, Oh I’m mad about the boy
She’s always late to meet me and she always has to go
To make another entry at another coolie show
She is a dirty little lady but I know
She only has to say the chorus and I go
She says, Oh I’m mad about the boy
She says, Oh-oh-oh I’m mad about the boy
She says, Oh I’m mad about the boy
Don’t tell me your troubles
I’ve got troubles that would make you scream and shout
Don’t tell me your troubles
I’ve got troubles I will tell you all about
No I don’t take a drink, no I won’t take a drink
But I sure take some ups and some downs
You makes me so weary
You pick me up to put me down
Don’t tell me your troubles
I’ve got troubles that would make you scream and shout
Don’t tell me your troubles
I’ve got troubles I will tell you all about
No I don’t take a drink, no I won’t take a drink
But I sure take some ups and some downs
You makes me so weary
You pick it up and put me down
You never have to worry and you never have to try
You’re never in a hurry and I know the reason why
You got your Daddie’s and your fingers in some pies
You makes a double of a trouble with your lies
You say, Oh I’m mad about the boy
You say, Oh-oh-oh I’m mad about the boy
You say, Oh I’m mad about the boy
