I admit it's a bit hokey, but I'm still surprised this isn't more covered. I guess someone will use it in a movie one day and then we'll see:

You don't see this played as often as Pictures of bloody Matchstick Men, do you?

That's because Pictures of bloody matchstick men is the only one of their songs you're allowed to like, because it doesn't sound anything like the Status Quo cliche they became with their chug-de-chug-de-chug rhythm.
And not to be confused with Brian & Michael's matchstick men epic obviously.

It's also because there's that TOTP clip of them doing it (see also that Rod Stewart clip with John Peel; the T-Rex clip with Elton John; the rediscovered Bowie clip of Jean Genie). And it was their first hit (see 'Laws of News').

I was nearly gonna do Ice in the Sun, but then I remembered it belonged in a better thread now laugh

That Skynyrd doc also reminded me of the link from this old chestnut too:

There was an Eric Burdon doc on the other night on BBC4:

The RSG doc last week rightly pointed up this Stones gem, somewhat appropriate lately:
