I Love it. Switching around the musical duties for the lip-synch! They are all right on the money phonies too. One of the greatest bands ever. I saw them at Colby college in 1987 on mushrooms. Quite a bit of fun. They were so great live. They opened with a killer version of "Take Me I'm Yours". Absolutely blew me away. 10 times better than any big arena concert I have ever gone to.
I loved Squeeze, discovered them in 78/79 when I was 11. This song has always been one of my absolute top favourite songs. 1979 was a bloody brilliant year for music. Ohhh the memories! lol
An absolutely stunning song - brilliant lyrical construction, wonderful melody from a truly gifted songwriting partnership Difford and Tillbrook. Adore this number.
fantastic band, real tunesmiths, had the pleaseure in meeting Glenn Tilbrook when when came through Auckland Airport around 2002, damn good chap and I think he was a bit bemused at my shock in seeing him, remember first hearing "Cool For Cats" in a pub in Croyden, I was with me Dad of course.
I live in the US and have loved squeeze since I was 20, now im 40 and love them even more...I didnt hear to much of them in the states so I don't know too much about them But I love them!!!
Hahah shows what they thought of Top of the Pops. All playing each others instruments. Glen has a quite elaborate drum kit to hide him away. Jools on guitar acting hilarious.
@@MetalboxJ I think The Stranglers did it in 1977 as it was no more heroes but I'm not sure about Iron Maiden before that as they were relatively unknown if they did it before 1977. The general public wouldn't have seen it just the first lot of fans.
Hello out there all the way from Australia. This band, this song! Too clever for most. Bloody hell, what I'd give to see and hear an act this good again.
Yeah Im seeing squeeze this weekend since their on their american tour, sadly del amitri never comes ear me... and by that I mean withing a six hour drive, I would love to see them though..
the golden age of music,1979,squeeze were brill and introduced me to my first ever coloured vinyl,purple,after that i wanted everything in coloured vinyl,the obsession quickly past though,i have a few squeeze songs in coloured vinyl,slap and tickle,etc
Love this pisstake, damn hilarious. This was one of those fantastic moments in song writing. I had the pleasure of meeting Glen Tilbrook at Auckland Airport back in 2001, I worked for Air NZ and he came into our quiet terminal and I checked him in for a domestic flight, I was so shocked, had a great chat to him and discovered what a damn good bloke he is.
Thank you, this made me so happy. Great band, great song, great fun. Why are nobody doing things like this anymore ? Too much pop music is just plain boring nowadays.
That was mimed so convincingly, and so "tongue in cheek" the way they are all playing the "wrong" instrument. Tillbrook is "beat perfect" on the kit, you would have thought it was him playing it on the record!!!
i love the days of miming haha! :) i do believe nirvana played a show and dave grohl just held up his drumsticks, dont quote me on that but my teacher told me that :)
Saw muse on a you tube clip on an Italian show where they all swapped instruments just for a laugh. Now I know wher they got the idea. This is a classic track from a band I've seen more than once. Great live, and Tillbrooks vocals are amazing.

Wonderful lyrics a complete story in just three minutes, love, happiness, disappointment, isolation. A stunning song, always loved it, still great.
I heard someone on the radio the other day describe this as Englands best ever folk song, hard to disagree.
Will never understand how someone can write a song like this at that age - masterpiece
as close to perfection as a pop song has ever come
Love this clip, they're having a laugh swapping instruments as previously mentioned. A brilliant song in every way.
I cannot listen to this song in front of people, it always brings a tear to my eyes.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
I loved Squeeze, discovered them in 78/79 when I was 11. This song has always been one of my absolute top favourite songs. 1979 was a bloody brilliant year for music. Ohhh the memories! lol
Couldn't agree more , same age too
I was also 11 - remeber this well
It was 1980 for me, and I was 10... My mind was blown
An absolutely stunning song - brilliant lyrical construction, wonderful melody from a truly gifted songwriting partnership Difford and Tillbrook. Adore this number.
its good bein english when we have stuff like this, no one better, poetry.
ilove this song,i sang it once with glen tillbrook at a pub crawl he did in guildford some years ago ,it was a dream come true
i ♥ this song sooooooooooo much and anyone that redos this song will get hurt by me!!
Hes so cute and hes playing those drums & singing effortlessly(!)WONDER WHY!
Remember the time that Horace Panter & David Steele swapped places when The Specials & The Beat appeared on the same Top Of The Pops ? Great memories!
My search can end. I have found the greatest video on RUclips.
my favourite song of all time, only heard it today but - can relate to it proppa.
Squeeze rule. Saw Glenn Tilbrook for 4 th time last week, just fantastic.
ahh..the golden age of pop music BI (Before Idol). These guys got me started back in the old country.. a tip of the titfer to them.
Without doubt some of the best lyrics I have ever heard
Some of the greatest lyrics ever penned; very moving actually. What an amazing song; timeless.
When people ask me ''What my favorite song of all time is?'' I don't even have to think about it. Still is it...
I love SQUEEZE.
Yes! to both, glad someone knows the lyrics.
Dave Lee Travis and Mike Read presenting a top pop song. Fuck me those were the days. Gone forever i'm afraid.
Proper song with proper lyrics
tells the story of my life
loved it as a teen
fantastic band, real tunesmiths, had the pleaseure in meeting Glenn Tilbrook when when came through Auckland Airport around 2002, damn good chap and I think he was a bit bemused at my shock in seeing him, remember first hearing "Cool For Cats" in a pub in Croyden, I was with me Dad of course.
classic eighties outlook excellent tune
I love this song
So cool! Miss these guys!
I luv that this group changed it up with singers and such. I always will listen to their songs, they were original and made great music!
It is difficult to imagine that these guys are still touring.
Aye,one of the best songs ever written.Words are sublime.
I saw it the first time it was played on TOPP- I thought it then one of the best songs I had ever heard- and 30 years later I still do!
Brilliant song.
I live in the US and have loved squeeze since I was 20, now im 40 and love them even more...I didnt hear to much of them in the states so I don't know too much about them But I love them!!!
squeeze rocks especially during the summer time
What 30 years later and this is still one of the greatest Bands ever,
45 years later. Same.
Was say this is confidently say this is one of the best British singles ever made or will be made
The ultimate Squeeze line-up!
Glenn - drums
Gilson - Bass
Jools - Guitar
Chris - Keyboards
If only all their albums had been recorded this way!!
What s great little band they were
So sad...the lyrics are pure poetry...and unfortunately so true for so many families.
Love these guys and saw them in concert 5-6 times in the late 70's and early 80's. Never realized Glen Tilbrook also played the drums...what a talent!
Hahah shows what they thought of Top of the Pops. All playing each others instruments. Glen has a quite elaborate drum kit to hide him away. Jools on guitar acting hilarious.
Way before Oasis did it
Just copying the Stranglers who did it a few years before them.
@@tullmonkey iron maiden did it before them.
@@MetalboxJ I think The Stranglers did it in 1977 as it was no more heroes but I'm not sure about Iron Maiden before that as they were relatively unknown if they did it before 1977. The general public wouldn't have seen it just the first lot of fans.
LOVE a DRUMMER who can SING!! This band just dripped with talent! So much great music!
i love that the drummers the singer,
Agreed.
Great track.

Hello out there all the way from Australia. This band, this song! Too clever for most. Bloody hell, what I'd give to see and hear an act this good again.

The songs a classic, so many of the Squeeze tunes are.
my favourite song of that decade
This takes me right back to the seventies.
I used to have the original 45 of this song on purple vinyl!

"The devil came and took me / From bar to street to bookie..."
Sheer poetry. Good to hear it again after so long.

great concert
The 1st single I ever bought, & I can't think of a better 1st single to buy. On pink vinyl to boot.
Glen Tillbrook on shells and Jools dropping plectrums! great
Going to see these in october, cant wait, Legends !!
That was mimed so convincingly, and so "tongue in cheek" the way they are all playing the "wrong" instrument. Tillbrook is "beat perfect" on the kit, you would have thought it was him playing it on the record!!!
Great tune, one of my faves.
ENCORE!!!!!
I love this song!
Going to see Squeeze tonight at the Royal Albert Hall! My wife has never even heard of them - oh well.
¡No puedo creer que ésta canción fuera de 1979!!,¡es tan hermosa!
My 1st single eva...............on Pink Vinyl.
this song makes me cry dont know why maybe cos its sad
Honestly brilliant music
I need a time machine fast!!!!!
Glenn Tilbrook can do EVERYTHING! He is so talented. Love his voice--love his lyrics--Tops Man, tops.
i love the days of miming haha! :)
i do believe nirvana played a show and dave grohl just held up his drumsticks, dont quote me on that but my teacher told me that :)
that closed hi-hat sounds cool.
never mind it gets better in time trust me
@Djian1970 - agree. He looks very comfortable on that drum kit. Great song
Thanks, man- guess the song just reminds me of the good 'ol BU days of the mid eighties!!
Great lyrics and music.
Great song, thanks for uploading. Brings back memories!
