The Squeeze rabbit hole is deep and rewarding. "Take me, I'm yours", "Pulling mussels from a shell", "Goodbye girl" or "Labelled with love" are just some of the good songs you could react to.
Chris Difford was awesome on this track. The greatest example of modern day poetry. Very difficult for non Brits to pick up the colloquialisms including 'Sweeney' and the wonderful 'Give the dog a bone'😂. What a track!
5:25 The brunette is Julia Gale who did a bunch of music videos including appearing in the Up the Junction video and Depeche Mode's See You video. She is probably best to known to BBC TV series Grange Hill fans as the character Carol Yates in the first four seasons.
A really cool tune - so much fun, and all those innuendos and rhyming slang went way over my head as an 8 year old charging around the school playground shouting Cooool For Caaats!
Glad you liked it Nick and thanks for the reaction. I had the 7" single on pink vinyl when it came out, an epic tongue in cheek song which still brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it again!
SHIT !!!!!!! the 64 yr old R&R Lady here again!! Gave Me BIGGEST Smile on this one !! Was 80? 81? ( shit don't know years on somethings I'm Old, dates run together, but a least memories stay clear !! LOL) Saw Squeeze 1st Was HUGE Fan of them & The Man they opened for ELVIS COSTELLO ( Elvis C. ties with Tori Amos as most times I've seen...9..met, knew & was saved by her )at Tower Theater in Philadelphia Pa ( Actually Tower in Upper Darby, saw other Favs DEVO & Pretenders there too) Was Right up front, row 3 GREAT Encore!! Both Bands on stage Elvis & Glenn Tilbrook sharing Mic singing "From a Whisper to a Scream" !!.....In Fact Squeeze was Last Concert I saw before COVID hit ( seen 2 after since, Santana & Roger Water's Pink Floyd show) , ... Was February 2020 in Wilmington Delaware... have Great 2nd Hubby, got tickets as Valentine's Gift....EVEN GREATER our tickets were Way in back, I had friend ( Old Girl like me, worked same place) had 2 tickets row 6,the friend that 2nd ticket for didn't show Hubby sat alone in back while I sat with her...was AWESOME on Hubby's part!! Actually Kind of saved his ass, 2 days later, he hadn't charged his phone, took mine to his work, & Killed it, fell out his pocket while moving Slot machine, it slipped & killed phone & I' was SO Pissed I'd recorded. All Concert &&& had gotten up from seat & stood by 2nd row & got Awesome take of Glen''s guitar solo of my Fav song Nail in My Heart !!....Again Hope you don't mind LONG Overshare & history...But you make me Smile & feel like you're a son from another mother ( Glad to say have 2 GREAT kids, shit, both in 30's guess not kids...LOL... always shared music) Rock On Nick !! && You're NOT Insignificant !!!❤
So glad you enjoyed this. It’s my ring tone(don’t judge me please😄) If you think these lyrics are wordy, give a listen to Piccadilly from East Side Story. Little different vibe but so great!!
This is a great tune and good to see the video was allowed through for people who haven’t seen it. Kind of a different (even funnier than usual vibe) from Squeeze. Not sure what you should do next…. For me Squeeze is like XTC or the Buzzcocks I’m that every song was great. a deep deep catalogue.
This video makes Squeeze look cooler than their others. And the two women singers are arousing me lol they look cute. Also I did not know that was Difford but I notice he looks more punk and/or hip or rugged than their other members. Whereas the more posh fashions tend to put me off a bit (bcuz I'm punk as fv
Ok, Nicky Nick…this is random, but this song got me thinking about a killer band that I thought was the next coming of the Libertines or British version of the Strokes. They were called the Palma Violets and their debut album…my god. 2013 release. They have a single called “Step up for the Cool Cats” and I thought cool cat theme! I still listen to their debut album(they have two albums) coz it’s so damn good. They are like if Spuritualized and the Libertines had a beautiful bratty baby. Step up for the Cool Cats Best of Friends Rattlesnake Highway Truss boo
Nick you really need to buy a decent turntable and start buying up the art that is 7” singles. I have around 10 Squeeze singles all in wonderful different vinyl colours ! That song makes me happy !!!
No longer my top Squeeze tune - my tastes have changed a bit as I've aged (aged, not necessarily matured...) but still right up there near the top of any list it's on. When I was at school though I couldn't see past it as it does everything right and nothing wrong as far as my teenage brain was concerned. To be clear, if almost any other band had come up with this it would easily have been their best thing ever. It's just that Squeeze aren't just any other band and have enough top tunes to fill several greatest hits collections. I like Squeeze even more than I like well done reaction videos of bands I like, of which this is one. Thank you, I continue to enjoy and be impressed by your channel. And you.
"I'm invited in for coffee and i give the dog a bone".... Haha, it always tickles me how they get away with some of their lyrics. Just too clever for the censors.
My all time fave band

Some fantastic place is another absolute gem and one of my fave’s!
I saw them on their first major tour, just as "Take me I'm yours," their first hit, was in the charts.

I've still got my original copy on lovely pink vinyl. A lot of their singles were on coloured vinyl. Up The Junction was lilac.

Always like to see some Squeeze reactions! Hope you take a listen to some of their album tracks (when you can). So many hidden gems!
I saw them live a couple of years ago when they supported Madness, they still sounded fantastic and put on a great show
Yeah i saw em at Wembley arena with madness
Squeeze and Madness, now that's a show!
@@InsignificantNick it was a great gig
Wish I knew about that. Madness were Brilliant.
Glad you liked it Nick and thanks for the reaction. I had the 7" single on pink vinyl when it came out, an epic tongue in cheek song which still brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it again!
Give a dog a bone 😮 all these years i thought she had a dog 😂😂 i was a kid when i first heard it is my excuse 😅
Difford and Tilbrook have written so many gems.Take me i'm yours a particular fave of mine
Class
2:28 I must admit that I never noticed that this was a double entendre until now!
What a great song very good music great live band
Squeeze are a great band. For a bit of contrast listen to 'labelled with love'. Another big hit thet had was 'pulling muscles frim a shell'.

Loved that English sound late seventies early eighties. Favorite groups were The Clash and The Specials.
You got to love this.
Cool cats like Squeeze.
This song is so wonderfully sly and fun... For an absolutely gorgeous song from Squeeze try "His House, Her Home"... just beautiful.
So glad you enjoyed this. It’s my ring tone(don’t judge me please😄)
If you think these lyrics are wordy, give a listen to Piccadilly from East Side Story. Little different vibe but so great!!
We brings invented tapping Ian duty and the blackheads along with sqeese.
Another Nail in my Heart and Black Coffee in Bed are my 2 favourites though they've not really put out a bad song.
This is a great tune and good to see the video was allowed through for people who haven’t seen it. Kind of a different (even funnier than usual vibe) from Squeeze. Not sure what you should do next…. For me Squeeze is like XTC or the Buzzcocks I’m that every song was great. a deep deep catalogue.
Try " If I didn't Love You " :)
Yes ! That song is such an earworm.❤

One of them is a fairly well known actress in the UK - Michelle Collins.
Love it. Goodbye Girl next please Nick.
This song goes offffff live

Only American to get the lyrics 😄🤙🍹
He's probably Canadian.
You're not going to find very many songs that are catchier than this one.
'Squeeze ' is London (Cockney), Nick, not British.....
I like Squeeze better than Mike + The Mechanics
