Rob Bolland is active in the music scene for a long time already. In my previous interview with him, Rob already shared the story behind the #1 hit “Rock Me Amadeus” by the late Falco, which he wrote and produced together with his brother Ferdi.
For this week’s vlog I asked him about the story behind “You’re In The Army Now”, a track which came out in the year 1981 under the project name Bolland. The track was very succesful in Scandinavia, but in other countries the song didn’t really became a big hit.
But…. In the year 1986 “In The Army Now” became a big success when British band Status Quo did cover the track. Their version topped the charts in countries such as Austria, Ireland, former West Germany and Iceland. In the UK, Norway, France and Spain it was a #2 hit. Plus in many other European countries the track made it into the charts as well.
For this week’s vlog I sat down with Rob Bolland to ask him about the story behind “You’re In The Army Now”.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

From all the different versions of "In The Army Now" that have been released during the years, which one is your favorite one?
@@fd5927 same for me!
Really fell in love with the original Bolland recording and The Domino Theory as a whole. It's very 1980s sounding, which I love!
The original, Status Quo, Sabaton and Captain Jack. Status Quo version was also number 1 in Poland at the end of 1986
Status Quo. That got huge radio plays, and was a massive hit in Hungary. I only found about it being a cover accidentally, a few years ago
@@petertakacs3180 Loved that song back in the good old eighties! That's true! Non stop play on the radio!
I live in Denmark and we loved the Bolland version and when ever it was played at the disco we would run out to dance and we would sing it while waiting for the bus. Status Q also did it well but I love the Bolland version best it was was also longer,
I saw the original Bolland & Bolland version of the song on the Soviet TV around 1985. I was 12 and it just blew my mind. It was late at night, I went to bed and the song continued to play in my head.
For me it's still the best version.
One of my childhood classics ❤️
Great interview again! Rob seems like such a nice guy
Thanks so much! And yes he is!
He looks incredible considering the circumstances, legendary producer.
Yeah exactly! Very happy I managed to do some interviews with him, so many great stories!
You made a legacy for yourself as an interviewer! Great choices for person to interview and subject as always. Love Ya!
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Got the album The domino theory on cd.
Play it often...great concept album.
It was such a good song that it was a hit twice! The Domino Theory is a very nice and interesting album as well. And wow, they got good direct stories about the Vietnam war to inspire the concept of the album on.
Great interview, grateful, and you're a great interviewer. Love the vlogs. Don't stop. Now there's an interview to get. Alice DJ as in the lady singer.
Thank you! And I did ask Judith already but unfortunately she doesn’t do interviews…. At least she replied hehe. Working on some other 90s/00s names as we speak BTW!
@muzikxpress Thank you for asking Judith on our behalf. Pity she doesn't do interviews as she and the band had a huge impact on my generation. I look forward to every vlog as it's all part of music history, and thus, a huge part of my history. Thank you once again.
There is also a cover version done by Laibach
Cool, I’ll check it out!
The French version from "Les enfoirés" is just a cover as they make a new one each year for the new charity season, and this cover is cool because the original song is cool (this is their only good cover in my opinion). When they do covers from shitty songs, the cover is bad as well 😛
Bolland & Bolland version is much better, than Status Q..., in my opinion.
