"Twenty Wild Horses" is a single released by the British Rock band Status Quo in 1999. It was included on the album Under the Influence.[2] The song also entered in Francis Rossi's solo repertoire, along with another song from the same album, "Blessed Are the Meek"; the two songs were included on Rossi's 2011 live album.[3] Rossi described the song's phrase "twenty wild horses and 500 men" as sounding incredibly good, and as the melody was saying there's a sound in it.[4]
