The article has been restored four times after being converted to a redirect, so I am nominating this for discussion to produce a consensus on whether the song is notable. I propose restoring the redirect to Dog of Two Head.

Only inspecting the sources in the article (permalink): wp:Before source searches:
 * The first source is clearly not wp:independent.
 * The second source is not wp:sigcov.
 * The third source is not wp:sigcov.
 * The fourth source, however, may be valid. The fourth source is WP:USERG per Richard3120.
 * One result on newspapers.com, which is from Canada.
 * Doing an online search, the front pages do not offer any wp:reliable sources that contains wp:significant coverage. Filtering for news, the four pages of results look like passing mentions only.

Therefore, I conclude that the song is unlikely to pass WP:GNG as it fails the multiple criteria. As for WP:NSONG, there are three points in which the song meets none of them, so the song is unlikely to be notable under WP:NSONG. ~ Aseleste  (t, e &#124; c, l) 10:44, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Dog of Two Head. Clearly does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NSONG.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dog of Two Head. I'm a big fan of 70s Quo and know this song well: it's a world away from the hard rock boogie that would soon make them famous across Europe, being a curious, downbeat Irish jig-style song played on what sounds like acoustic guitars and mandolins. It was released as a single by their old label to cash in on their new fame, but didn't chart anywhere, and it's unlikely to have got much attention from the UK music press in 1973 as it was clearly a leftover from the band's previous era and sound. The editor who restored this is right that it has since become a popular song among the group's fans and has become a concert staple, but that doesn't really translate into notability outside the band and their followers: none of the current sources pass WP:RS or WP:NSONG, and Songfacts fails WP:USERG because it's a random collection of anecdotes added by anyone, none of which are verifiable or attributable.
