It’s unusual when one of a band’s signature songs has a sound so different from what they usually create, but that’s the case with 1979’s “Cool for Cats.”Sort of a precursor to the rap music that would become so popular in the upcoming decade, the song features a driving bassline, a kick drum on every downbeat, and Chris Difford’s deep baritone on ...
By the end of the 1980s, everyone was sick of Tommy Tutone’s “867-5309/Jenny” song, but that didn’t stop Squeeze from coming out with this phone number-titled single in 1988, off their Babylon and Onrecord. It sounds like a gimmick, with Glenn Tilbrook reciting the number and a few simple lyrics in a sing-songy melody, but then the break hits, with...
Squeeze doesn’t do many waltzes, but they nail the triplets on “Labelled With Love.” Another story in song form, there are several standouts on this song from 1981’s East Side Storyalbum. Glenn Tilbrook’s longing vocals rarely sound better, and the drums are kept spare so that the accordion and jangly guitars are more present. It’s as good a song f...
Squeeze has always been known for writing great hooks, but “Another Nail in My Heart” has more hooks than a tackle box. Tilbrook’s treble-y guitar solo is brilliant, and Jools Holland’s keyboard chords provide a solid foundation. Off their 1980 effort Argybargy, its lyrics tell of love gone wrong and drinking away the feelings (a familiar story in ...
Squeeze may have had their heyday in the 1980s, but their 1991 album Play proved that they weren’t entirely done yet. “Sunday Street” is one of those days of the week songs, and while its lyrics aren’t as interesting as some of their other efforts, the sing-along chorus is glorious. The 1990s production may sound a bit too slick, especially after t...
You know this song. Even if you don’t know Squeeze, you know this one. From 1979’s Cool for Cats album, “Up the Junction”is one of the band’s more popular tracks, which is interesting considering there’s no actual chorus. The title doesn’t get sung until the very last line when the song of working-class love gone all wrong comes to its sorry conclu...
You know you’ve got a band of great musicians when you have room for a guitar solo and a piano solo in one of your most well-regarded singles. “Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)”is a killer 4/4 pop tune full of upbeat melodies, with a theme that got past all the censors because who uses the phrase “pulling mussels” to describe having sex? Yet the so...
Sax on a Squeeze song? That’s new, but on their 1987 single “Hourglass,” it fits. And even if you’re not sure if you remember a Squeeze tune named “Hourglass,”you’ll surely remember its catchy chorus: a monotone repetition of, “Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard, see if it can swim, back up to the shore.” It was their biggest hit in the US, ...
Here’s another Squeeze anomaly: “Tempted,” one of their best-known songs, features legendary British singer-songwriter Paul Carrack on lead vocals. Even though it’s a standard Difford-Tilbrook collaboration, Paul Carrack handles most of the singing, with other band members coming in on the second verse with a line or two and then relegated to back ...
Off 1982’s Sweets from a Stranger, “Black Coffee in Bed” makes the top of our list because it epitomizes everything great about Squeeze and their music. A great story about a disintegrated relationship? Check. Strong melody? Check. Soaring Tilbrook vocals, groovy keyboard, solid guitar lines? Check, check, and check. True, it’s less pop-oriented th...
