    Started in the late '70s. "Cool For Cats" was a hit back in the late '70s. Also "Up the Junction". A little more new wave/post-punk with a funky vibe in their earlier years.
    They had a Hall and Oates vibe to them at times, kind of blue eyed soul. Doo wop like.
    This song/video here was early '80s. "Black Coffee in Bed" and "Hourglass" were other '80s hits from them, video/song. "Satisfied" also in the early '90s.

    The band's original arrangement of this song was more an up-tempo Beatlesque pop song -- but Elvis Costello was producing the album, and convinced them to slow it down and inject more of an R &B feel. And the result was this -- their breakout hit.
    As for the lyrics, Brad...
    It IS about being tempted -- and succumbing -- and being found out -- then being dumped -- and then dealing with the consequences.

    Hey guys, the guys with the deep voice was Elvis Costello, who produced this track for them and is not featured in the video. You can hear his low voice near the end of the song. The 2nd singer is the actual lead singer for the group, Glenn Tilbrook. They let Paul Carrack sing on this song, and he did a fantastic job. You need to start checking out some Elvis Costello and The Attractions. Elvis is a great writer my personal favorite besides the Beatles. Squeeze is up there too.

They sound great together if you haven't heard that track.

    I want to speak to your comments about the lyrics. I'm a huge Squeeze fan with a lot of familiarity with their writing.
    Chris Difford, who writes the lyrics for Squeeze's songs, wrote the lyrics for "Tempted" while in a taxi on his way to Heathrow Airport. Squeeze was due to tour North America. Chris began the lyrics by literally writing down everything he had packed and that he waa seeing on.this journey to the airport. The homey and familiar images are a metaphor for leaving behind the comfortable and familiar aspects of a committed relationship to begin the "unknown" of being tempted into an affair. It's such a brilliant and unusual perspective to begin with, and that's what makes Squeeze such a great band.

    When this band's greatest hits album came out, it was weird for me because I felt like their songs were already familiar, although I'd never heard of the band before. While I wouldn't say the "Singles" album is full of radio hits, it's a quality album, virtually every song will get you singing along.

    They're a quirky group too. Well, this song is more mainstream than earlier stuff. Squeeze (specifically Chris Difford and Glenn Tillbrook) was being called the new Lennon and McCartney for a time there in the early 80s, and their songwriting was up to it. React to just about any other Squeeze song and you'll get even fewer views and likes than this. As Nick Lowe sang "And So it Goes". I love it. Oh yeah, the deep vocal on the recording was provided by Elvis Costello; guess they couldn't get him for the video.

    Love, love, love Squeeze! One of the bands in that second British invasion in the '80s. Fun story: They appeared here in concert last year and the date happened to coincide with the birthday of one of my friends. He bought tickets for himself and his wife to see them. While they were having dinner at a downtown steak house before the concert, he looked over and said, "That's the guy...that's the lead singer from Squeeze over there!" He was having dinner all by himself. As they were leaving, they stopped and spoke to him, got some photos with him, and he signed a menu to wish my friend a happy birthday!

    I love Squeeze - their greatest hits album "45s and under" is one of my all time favorite albums. All of their MVs are pretty low budget and maybe a little awkward but songs are amazing.

    I always thought that the bit about getting dressed and packing his suitcase is basically him preparing for a weekend getaway with the temptress. That's how they relate to being tempted. On his way out, he has a sense of guilt as he sees the church and the carousel where he spends time with his family. The memories call to him, but he knows he'll forget them once he gets to his booty call.

    Squeeze is very very very underrated. I have enjoyed there tunes back in the 90’s.
    Tempted is my personal favorite. There are more Squeeze songs I like.”You need to hear “Black Coffee in Bed” Glenn Tilbrook’s vocals on that track is awesome. ❤❤❤

    This song is typical Squeeze at their very best. Most of their songs follow a formula: boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl dumps boy, boy can't move on. Here, the singer is depressed because the woman he loves left him, he's interested in another woman, but he can't allow himself to act upon the temptation because he is still in love with the woman who dumped him. Their songs are exceedingly clever and require one to pay close attention to the lyrics. In my opinion, they were the best song writing duo (Difford and Tilbrook) since Lennon and McCartney.

      Paul Carrack is still very much alive and still performing. I think you're thinking of the other "Paul" that sang lead with Mike and the Mechanics, Paul Young. He passed in July of 2000 of a heart attack.

    The singer Paul Carrack is great with the band, Mike and the Mechanics from which Mike came from Genesis with Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Their song "In the Living Years" is absolutely beautiful and shows the beauty of Paul`s voice. You should check it out because it is one of the great songs of a lifetime.
