Lyrics below:
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)
The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how their missus always look so bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like, "How's your father?" and they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats (cool for cats)
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats (cool for cats)
Shape up at the disco and I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions and she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later and give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)

I'm Australian but seriously where would the world be without British music from rock to ska and everything in between amazing and thank you
G’day mate us Poms are just blessed this way my friend ! Have a good one ☝️
@@tonyjlorns1727 hey mate Aussie bands made some great music in the 70s and 80s what I was trying to say is British music lead the way
Me too brother, some of the best music in the world. Apart from the Angels, Rosey Tats etc etc
@@scrumpyhunter8561 oz rock was on a different level..could never compare aussie musos to anything else...they are on another level
Do you remember that they had to be called UK Squeeze?
His accent makes this song so much better than it already is.
So true
It does !!!
@@bogmanstar889 innit sounds so chav and is not proper English
That's pretty much how most of my bloody mates talk, mush.
@@bogmanstar889 sauff laudern
"It's funny how the missus always looks the bleedin' same". The whole, wonderful song is a series of witty, , observant, genius couplets. Like all things of beauty, this song is a joy forever.
You should listen to Marillion "Punch & Judy"...
I kiss her for the first time, and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee so I give the dog a bone
Never a bad lyric from Squeeze.
God!!! Squeeze were the perfect band. The song writing, the musicianship, the quality. They should have been the next Beatles. Their songs will never die and that is a legacy to be proud of!
I played this for my cat and he did seem cooler afterwards
LastAvailableAlias 🤣😂😹
lols
Brilliant lol 😊😊
I grab em by the front paws and make em dance like a person when this comes on.
They love it (not)🤣
You have a cat?
"I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone"
Went right over my head as a kid.
I never knew that so many women owned dogs....
I'm shocked!
Yep, used to sing that line at home, amazed how I never got told off now
You caught up then? :-D
I get it. Her dog was hungry.
A lyrical masterpiece. Sounds as good now as it did on release.
Just saw them tonight, and the whole audience was singing. Love,love, love them.
I couldn't get the night off for their show with Psychedelic Furs in St Louis.
I was privileged to see them front row in Philadelphia just a few months ago. Literally made me cry, being a British 60 year old who grew up in London ! Took me right back there.
I saw them two nights in a row with The Psych Furs and they were excellent!! Second row for the first night. AMAZING!!!!!!
Jealous! Saw Psychedelics at Camden Roundhouse a few years ago, never seen Squeeze but 🤞
The music, the lyrics, the video, the vibe - this pop song is a fresh as ever.
Theo video has a Punk vibe that I dig.
Chris Difford and Glenn Tillbrook were an amazing songwriting team. They deserve a lot more love.
Difford and Tilbrook equal to Lennon and McCartney.
Lyrical genius
They deserve a bit more recognition than they got
They're still at it...
@@crlchs if not as prolific most certainly as artistic , wordsmiths, same calibre as ray davis or ian dury
Those two women are doing the absolute most lol.
fancy seeing you here emezie!
love u
Absolutely moist
Bopping along big time
According to " Squeeze Lore" the two females were paid in Amphetamines to be extras lol hence the cringe dancing lol. And speaking of.... This song is so addicting!
Hey - careful - the blonde was my mum!! 🤣
Squeeze were absolutely brilliant. Up the junction, labelled with love.... classics.
Up the juction did not mean, got a idea called M25,
Yeah
As influential as the Beatles in a lot of ways. America likes to claim credit for the Beatles and Squeeze - Because America loves their music! We do, we do, we do!!!
Pulling Muscles from a Shell
@@crlchs I've never heard an American claim credit for the Beatles and I've been around a lot of Americans.
Squeeze were such a bunch of talented guys. I love the vocalist's nonchalant attitude on this song!
And don't forget Jools Holland. As good as it gets.
Music is passed down from Father to Son, when i was a child my Dad listened to The Squeeze, so now im older and my Father has passed away i find myself listening to these songs and know all the words from growing up with them. Music aint like this nowadays. And i thank my Father for introducing me to the Squeeze. R.I.P Dad love your son Paul.
SIMO 2017 same with my mother :(
Edward Sanchez sorry to hear that brother. Shit is hard when you loose a loved 1. At least we still have our memorys of the people we have lost. Good luck for the furure matey.
SIMO ❤❤'s
I feel your pain. Both of mine are gone, but the music and the memories will never die. They were good times.
SIMO We'll all be with Dad soon mate ;)
My grandad used to play this in his car while we were on our way to pick up a chippie every Thursday , I’m now 15 and still doing this with him cos a legend lol
I'm listening in 2024
I'm listening in 2044. So you're prior to WW3
same
American girl here, yes! British music is The Best!!
this song. is a working class anthem. masterpiece
Too right. When the working class had cool and strength, knowledge and style.
#theresaguydownthechipshopswearsheselvis
💯 This and "Common Man"🎯🎯
Total brilliance and hilarious - 'Davy Crocket rides around and says it's cool for cats.'
When it comes to perfectly crafted catchy songs with clever lyrics, Squeeze were pretty much in a league of their own. This is just fabulous.
Alright.
Now let's get a puff on Jules's blunt. Great keys andall.
Ian Dury's ghost says "Hold my walking stick."
I remember hearing this for the first time on a Saturday morning on Donnie Sutherland’s “Sounds” -a tv show here is Australia back in the 70s and into the early 80s I think. I sat there with my tape recorder and taped it off the tv and listened to it over and over
One of the catchiest songs ever, it keeps playing in my head. It's the vocal rhythm that really does it for me
The drum fill half way through the first verse is stunning
I overlooked it massively. Thank you for pointing that out! Very clean staccato work!
Simple, understated and effective. Nice.
Love the drums on this. You know what they say, less is more and sometimes simple and understated is better.
There is no Era I love more, than the music scene that took place between the late seventies and mid-eighties. Squeeze was SO COOL!!!
Yes, there was so much great New Wave, Post-Punk, Synthpop, etc. during that time. I feel so lucky that I got to be a teenager at the same time that this creative musical movement was unfolding.
Daniel Marquis you mean cool for cats
And with boatloads more freedom and leverage to be whom they were than we're seeing today. They could take two or three years between albums, as fellow Briton Adele has indicated she plans to do, and people would still be paying attention. That's why decades later they've got plenty of gas remaining in the tank and not subsisting on Power Bar elements.
+Daniel Marquis It really was the best time for music. Punk, Two Tone, New wave, even all that New romantic stuff sounds great today. I feel sorry for young people these days.
this era was the end of Britain (as we thought we knew it.(oh how profound is thee)). It was Englandograd. British industry was ruined. The empire was long dead. Thatcher and co. were loading weapons and preparing for the massive counter-assault. Within a decade teenagers were going to raves, taking E, loving acid house, jungle, drum 'n bass and boys knew that being a DJ was very cool for cats and this kinda stuff was for grandparents. The very thing we thought was kind of neat - the street corner naff slice-o-life attitude of this song was transparent irrelevant to them. I thought this was cool but only understood a few lines of the last verse..disco, girl, wall, home, dog, bone, nasty rash, fail, reality is different from TV.
Can’t believe this was from 79 ! Thought it was early 80’s!
Just so good 😊
I'M LISTENING IN 2024!
The girls are simply amazing - I just can't get enough of their vibe!
Michelle Collins is one of them
@@dandronemoan4041 Never was able to find out the other.
How do their sunnies stay on?
@@dandronemoan4041 Even she isn't sure of that.
@@MountainGoatSoftware Oh yeah -- of Kenny Everett fame!
These guys were cruelly underated because they industry cast them as a teeny band.Actually they were superlative song writers. Much admired by musos who knew their stuff.
Although they’re admired in the biz I don’t think Mr Difford ever got the accolades he was due.
Well, I DID see 'em at Madison Square Garden in 1983 or thereabouts, supporting "Sweets From A Stranger." Most bands don't make it that far! Don Snow on keyboards...no offence to Snow, but when I saw them again with Jools Holland, hoo boy!
Bty, brilliant drummer with Mr Gilson Lavis if I'm correct, really tight but inventive too
'Squeeze - Another Nail In My Heart (Official Music Video) 2150pm 24.7.23 it's funny how a band like this had so many band members when it's a case of 4 piece at the most... they must get really crap wages what with all those blokes beggaring about at times trynna make it look like they know what the craic is...
What a groove like energy assume is not speed's.
I saw them in 2022 and they sound exactly the same as all their studio recordings. Proper band.
The world was cooler than we realised back then
Very
Special tunes
I soooo miss the late seventies, early eighties. Take me back. I didn’t know what i had until it was gone.
Can I come with you and stop time that would be paradise
Yea walking over a bridge and seeing The Jam, The Clash and Mods painted on it as I walked to the record shop to buy Too Much Too Young
Bittersweet times. In and out of love - and the music coming at yer. YES. Didn't know what we had. Then it was gone....
@@calicocatz7890 I fell deeply in love with a girl, a song I used to play to remind me of he was liar by the sex pistols... It didn't end well
@@somethingelse4878 Hopefully you won't look back to what you have NOW in 10 years time and have the same thought 🙃
Everyone's dancing and having a party but one of the best drummers is maintaining his own cool and is drumming away seeming oblivious. You gottta love Gilson!!!
How many times have I played this song? Not enough!
One more time..... At least...😁
It's quite hard to believe that the band that gave us the masterpiece that is Up The Junction, also gave us this antithetical but equivalent masterpiece! ❤
Good point. The narrator of Cool for Cats quits when he's ahead. I'd like to think he isn't the same person as the protagonist of Up the Junction.
@@chrisamies2141 I'd say they're either 2 completely different people, or the guy from Cool for Cats has grown up when it comes to Up the Junction!
💯💯💯
And both videos filmed on the same day!
@@MickyMadHatter cool, thanks for the info, i never knew that! 👍
Years ahead of it's time.
Lyrically brilliant.
It will never grow old.
----just the listener's
This captures the late 70's perfectly. Cracking tune
This is sheer brilliance. No pretentiousness, just a great tune and everyone looks like they are enjoying. And the dancers/backing singers are really banging it and giving it some! What energy. Thank you for sharing.
All these years later, still a banger.
Those dancers are amazing. The energy!

In the '80's, they called it "Cocaine".

@@arlington5able It doesn't look like her.
Reminds me of secondary school. 1979 was a brilliant year for British music. Great band, Squeeze.
1969 was better.
Honestly im born in the newer generation but i love classic rock and music from the 70’s 80’s or 90’s.
Arguably the best year for mainstream music. Check out the top 10s
Everyone goes on about the 80's. Late 70's is where all that innovation started.😀
In my family we were talking about my nephews music taste and whats on offer for him in the current Top 10.
I liked a lot of the music in it, I'm not going to trash it or condemn it, there was lots of good music in there, maybe I couldn't relate to it like him but I wasn't going to write it off. So we compared what was in the charts when we were his exact age.
I had..Blondie, Gary Numan, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, some stuff from the Grease soundtrack, Bee Gees, Boomtown Rats, Cliff, The Stranglers, Kate Bush..the list went on and on. It was hard not to be a little bit smug.
Maybe in 40 years time I'll be humbled by how many of his Top 10 went on to immortality. But I'll be 91 by then and probably won't care.
This and Up the Junction are genuine masterpieces
23 years in London , great fun x
Wow........The more i listen to the music of my generation, the more i truly believe just how blessed we were.
Memories come flooding back, lost loves, lost opportunities and always the thought of.................i wish i could have the time back again.
Reality is.......that is not going to happen........But at least i have the songs to remind me of the best days of my life.
I am sure that others of my generation feel the same................so best we can do is reminisce and let those days come flooding back!!!
I sooooo miss those times and i wish i appreciated it more................... Big Jim (New Zealand).
Yes, many of us feel exactly the same!
@@JimmehRulez Edge of boomer. Not really in any demographic. A time of transition. Reflected in the music of the era.
@@MrChannel2010 ok
I've always said that I and my generation grew up in the best time for music. Punk, ska, new wave, 2 tone and all the others that came along from the mid seventies to the mid 80's (before Stock, Aitken and Waterman really dominated everything)
Nailed it big jim
I LOVE this music, but listening to it also gives me a pain in my heart because I'll never get to relive those glory days again. Don't get me wrong, I love my life, but damn I sure miss those days. All I have left of them are great memories.
We didn't have the gadgets because we didn't need them. Today we need them to remember how much simpler, innocent and nicer life was despite the hardships.
Couldn't have worded it better buddy
Know the feeling...miss them too.
I wish we could go back Carlos
Hey Carlos as long as you have not got a rash things are good.
So glad that nobody ever said "Girls, take it down a bit"
Who's listening in 2024
No
Me
Me full blast right now love it peace from black country westmids
Eye am

During lockdown I built a time machine Im going back to the seventies if anyone wants to join me!

Yes please - Make mine a one way ticket !!
Yes PLEASE
The Flying Hamster - You've already been and returned back to the wrong date. You went at the end of this month;
I fancy this, I fancy that. This song is pure poetry. Love it
Try Ian Dury. Another poet. 😀
Just time travelled back to the 80's. Music is brilliant. This is brilliant.
I still remember when I was old enough to figure out what "give the dog a bone" really meant 🤣
I'm so impressed that the girls not only keep up that pace but that the brunette doesn't clonk her head on anything and they don't knock anything over.
They are also very cool and sexy 2 great qualities for women
they edited that part :D
they probably do, they just edit.
It is amazing how she didnt get whacked by the guitar. Maybe the glasses are covering two black eyes!
Probably took a few tries to get that part.
That Cockney accent singing is damn brilliant, best late 70s song that I listened to.
British music and British TV drama are the best!! 🥰
[02 December 2021] It never fails to baffle me that Squeeze could go from sounding like this to sounding like "Tempted" in two years.
This band had some talent. Difford, Tilbrook, Jools Holland on keys, Gilson on drums, and later, Paul Carrack.
I've watched this on several occasions with the children and they absolutely love this video. Why can't we make these brilliant tunes and fun videos anymore? Everything is marketed and talentless.
"IN A WORLD DECAYING IN ORBIT, FALLING IS THE MOON.!"
no matter what industry we look at (music, wineries, and politics (etc), the earlier days of its beginning & time, hardly resemble developing incline.. for products, the market will fix as it goes, according to labels as related to price - and sounds of songs, in movies, enticed; our older day thoughts would be nice..
but, either way along steps or play, those on stage cannot push, past the point of brilliant compose - the choices are equal to wiggle & tush..
whom did play for, was once in voice, with meticulous pen and energies of choice, but, those days, now rare, can surely attest - that you get what they offer, instead of what's best.!
This was first ever 80s song I loved as a child. Mostly because of my cat obsession
@@scladoffle2472 Bet you don't have children and have been purposely sterilised... pheww!
This guy is rapping. Proper ahead of his time for 79
Happy memories
Haha...Jools when he was young and imitating Joe Strummer. Who else is here during Covid 19 ? Dreaming about the good old days of Madness, The Specials, ABC, The Clash, The Jam, Blondie, The Police.....?
We just thought it was music. Little did we know we grew up in the best decade of music.
They are all still being played.
If I may ? Worthy notables are Heaven 17 ,The Stranglers , Rational Youth , The Cult , Divine , New Order , The English Beat and on and on and on !!!
All but ABC mate
taking it easy while the country caves in to the kung flu lies ... early retirement at 52 takes the pain away ... don't forget The Stranglers ...
@hagstone wow..Debbie. She still is a godness. I was in Love with Agneta / ABBA 😂
The clever wit and tongue in cheek talk is priceless 😁
There's so much I love about this track, but perhaps the best bit is that Chris Difford sings it in his own Sarf London accent.
Absolutely one of the finest bands out of Britain. Ever.
I am a qualified lesbian
those two girls are mesmeric, absolutely brilliant video, everything great about british pop music back in the day
Seems there are a lot of comments of people not understanding the song, or complaining about the bridge, or saying that it's just a plain bad song. I don't see what's wrong with it. I like it a lot. It's a quirky, new wave/post-punk song, and I think it's really fucking cool. Maybe I'm just weird, but that bridge is really explorative and I like the way the song just sort of falls apart and gets really spacey and airy.
I guess not everyone is cool for cats.
I suppose it makes sense that people don’t get it, I mean most of the song is composed of (predominantly cockney) slang, and a good portion of it is also innuendos. I mean, I didn’t get a lot of the references until I was in my late teens, and I’m very familiar with slang originating from in and around London, as it’s where I’m from, and my mum filled in any gaps that I would have had from growing up abroad.
It just rocks. No explo necessary.
I fuckin love cats xxx
7 years ago
it makes sense in most Commonwealth countries
It was huge here in Oz
I loved Squeeze back in the day and still do!
I have seen them in concert many times!!
I'm really glad that this piece of youthful, human greatness (lyrics, video, and song) were captured and preserved for them and all of us. Top piece of fun!
Yes, what was like as a 20 something Gen Xer going out with high expectations and realizing the reality at the end of the night. Male or female. Overall incredible times!
The Brits know how to lift any mood. They’ve been doing it since 1962. UK Squeeze gave a very cool period. Love the accent during the track...
Achingly cool and probably the cleverest thing you'll see today.
...its not likely on the tv if its cool for cats....
Or you could look at an Adam Curtis film and see something cleverer.
@@gliddofglood no
One of my all time favorite videos of such a great tune.
Saw it once in a music program in 1979 and fell in love with the dancing girls. Their dance is so energetic!
I have been looking for it for a long time.

I was in Willesden Green in London in 1991, half a world away from home, not much money, not having a great time. But then I walked into a pub and heard this song playing.
I was in Willesden Green in 1984, half a world away from home, no money, and having a great time, and my love of Squeeze was a key thing that brought me to London. London became home, still is, but I'm now half a world away in Boston. Listening to Squeeze makes me cry now.
Happy 40th anniversary to one of the coolest songs ever.
Still hits today 🔥
Just played it twice over always makes me smile 😃
Hilarious lines in this aren't there 🤣
Backing singers up front and manic as they should be, and Jools Holland looking cool in shades and smoking a huge cigar. It's always a great video to watch.
Chris Difford changed me forever with this song. Mind you this was my first cassette tape ever at the ripe old age of 7.
Chris Difford is awesome on this. "I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone" 😂😂😂 Modern poetry at its best.
Just a wonderful pop song, and Chris Difford's Cockney accent is just adorable.

@@patrickhayes3099 They will be saying you should have listened to Cool For Cats by Squuze lol
@@patrickhayes3099 Nah, that may have been the case but most music lovers will go, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s YES!... Full Stop. Then came the age of corporate mannequins with good voices but crap songs.

@@patrickhayes3099You're absolutely right. Older folks always say their generation's music was the best and hate the younger generation's music. That's just obviously true.

One of the most underrated in my estimation.....even greater live. Great, great band !.
A bit late, granted, but going to see them on 31October 2017, can't bloddy wait!
@Darren - yes, you are so right. Their albums were great but their live performances were FAR better. I urge folks here who are too young to remember Squeeze to check for videos of of their lives shows. You will enjoy them. :)
I always heard they were better live than on Vinyl. Sadly never got to find out myself.
Absolutely! Tilbrook a very underrated compiser
looking back i have to say i like music from the 80s much better then the 90s
This was actually 1979
always been completely in love with those two dancing girls
The Sweeny's doing 90 cause they've got the word to go. They get a gang of villains at a shed up at Heathrow
love that line!
i used to think it was "The Sweeney's doin 90 'cos they got nowhere to go" like they were a law to themselves, but got the word to go is better
'Eaf-row
@@bannjaxx I thought it was that too.
Urban London music has gone from this to Stormzy
You go to any little London music venues, even midweek you will find quality music far better than the stormzy shit. You got to seek it out.
What a tight band they were.
If only, we could turn back time. Real bands with real players for real people.
Hard to believe this is 45 years old. I was young when this came out, I remember it, vaguely.
I hope and pray my kids listen to these hits of the 70's and 80's when I pass on, I miss those years soooooooo much Eh!
If they grew up with you playing them in the house then I can guarantee they will find their way here. I haven't heard this song in 20 years since my dad took us on holiday in the car its just randomly popped into my head and I had to look it up and found I knew every word!
70's 80's and 90's was the time to be into music
Great song Great group.
Seriously underrated band- musicians, lyricists and Jools! Loved them growing up.
I just found out that Jools Holland was in Squeeze. Was that really him playing those keyboards?
That certainly was! He was part of the original line up and left the band in 1980.
As an American; all of my favorite bands(Squeeze included) from every era and genre are from the UK and Europe.
Robert Anthony yeah us english do music pretty well , i gotta say i loved all that 'NEW WAVE' as you yanks called it ,great music , damn i miss those days , these days it aint got the character , just a bunch of haircuts sounding like girls talkin about money , i listen to music to forget about money , i blame rap and all the hip hop bullshit ,its mainly wankers music
CanadAarrgghhhhhh! the talent was a neverending well we drew from , we were the country in theworld with the word 'Great' before , we took brilliance for granted , personally i love US bands as much as ours ...
yeah/ but dont forget mowton!
I'm British, and to this day I don't really understand where all our musical talent comes from.
@John Smith Well good for America, a cookie is in the post - or mail as you call it.
I saw this on the tv the other day and it transported me right back to that time. I played the album so much that the couple next door complained. I remember it so well dancing around my formica furniture in the bedroom. It makes me feel sad that those young women dancing around with the black leather jackets and red spandex on will be middle aged now - just like me! The confidence - the cocky swagger it all changes when you're older - then the next generation re-claim it! Thanks for the memories.
Good to hear some youngsters appreciate our music.
Nice one sunshine.
This IS ENGLAND ❤
Man! I just thought of this gem, and there it is on good ol you tube
Those birds do great dance moves ...
