And your point is?
This song is sexist, misogynist, patronising, racist, shit - probably the most politically incorrect recording of the 21st century.
Go on, Wolfie, try and convince me that it's supposed to be 'tongue in cheek'!

No, it is more a fun song with silly lyrics. Status Quo have even some Asians in their entourage, and they take it with humour. Especially since none of the members comes even close to being a racist in real life and they usually apologize for the lyrics before playing the song.
The song has indeed quite a nice beat and it is one of the higlights of Status Quo's live show.
It is just meant as fun unlike the comments a certain Mr Lewis frequently makes.
And I am sure that there are songs, which are much more racist than this even if it was meant serious (which it is not!).
