"'Marguerita Time'" is a single by the British rock band Status Quo, from their 1983 album 'Back to Back'. The single was also issued in a Christmas double pack that included "Caroline"/"Joanne".
"Nobody but Francis Rossi|Francis '[Rossi]' wanted to record it," recalled bassist Alan Lancaster. "All it did was advertise that we were a bunch of nerds."
The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album 'Aquostic (Stripped Bare)'. It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance for the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their 'In Concert' series.
Dexys Midnight Runners covered the song on the B-side of their single "This Is What She's Like". This recording was included on some reissues of the band's 'Too-Rye-Ay' album.
