You don’t get much better than Squeeze… I love these guys.
One of the most underrated bands in history, brilliant...anyone else feeling there age watching this, 1979 seems like last week
Best times no mobile phones no computers great music
Agreed, I can barely remember how I got to work this morning but can remember this on Top Of The Pops like it was yesterday.
79, the year I left school, this song on the radio 👍
I was 11 at that time. I remember it as if it was yesterday.
Saw them @Fiesta Gardens in Austin summer 82ish! 👍🏼
Perhaps the most comprehensive and perfect song ever written. It is an entire biography laid out before us in three minutes. Sarcasm, humour, and sadness, all in one song.
One of the best songs ever recorded. One verse, no chorus, incredible content. I met my wife in London, she moved to Clapham from Sydney (like the Aussies do). 20 years later we're still married and 2 annoying teenagers to boot. Listening to this record takes me back, makes me happy. And making the kids like it makes me happier.
At least she didn’t leave you for a soldier 😂😂😂
Love Clapham the Aussies don’t they 😂
Lovely!
You sound like a good good man to me, mate. And I hear you about annoying teens!
Brilliant
That ominous chord they hit on the word "incubator" signals that the verses ahead are not going to be happy ones. The chord comes up nowhere else in the song. Absolutely brilliant match of words and music.
The most bittersweet pop song story in under 3 mins.... give you a lump in your throat
It's a heartbreaking song, absolutely love it. Some songwriting. 💯
Tilbrook and Difford absolute fucking legends
This song reminds me of nights out in Whitley Bay when I was 20 years old I’m now 63 .. jeezus where’s the time gone .
Best song ever written that doesn't have a chorus
And that kids, is what real musicians look and sound like... Just brilliant.
Two of the greatest songwriters to come out of London
Sorry mate. Ray & Dave Davies
@@nasdkhan254 'Two of the'...not 'The'...
@@byronmills5952 ok fair enough
The best from south london
Correction: two of the greatest songwriters.🙃😉
The chord progressions in this tune are friggin exquisite 🎸 LOVE Squeeze, man ❤️
No they're not. Its literally chord 1 to 4 back to 1 then 6. Repeat until you do the same in a tone lower key. Nothing exquisite there whatsoever.
@@stuarthossack5351 That's not really labelled with love, is it?
@@neilpeace7734 It's labelled with fact,lol.
@@stuarthossack5351 There is no doubt that musical knowledge has increased many-fold, especially since the internet, but this is still a very popular song amongst many born in the 60's and 70's. That makes it of significant entertainment value. It sold well and was very catchy. At 64 the lead singer has laid down some pretty solid vocals indeed and great credit to him. What you have to decide is whether showing off your musical prowess and entertaining people are in any way compatible ... after all it is an entertainment industry. Peace 😉
@@neilpeace7734 I don't think complexity makes a song. I'm not slagging off the song ,just that I like to correct misinformation in the music theory world 😉
And because I know it all on that front ,I certainly don't think it makes me better in anyway.Thats a misconception I have to live with.I like 3 chords and the truth as much as anything in music. If the song was in the key of G would G Em and C be called exquisite? Well, its the same numbers and music is all numbers. I know I sound anal but I call a spade a spade and don't like when others call a spade a golden spoon.
Brilliant group especially labelled with love 😊😊😊
One of the best songs ever and still after all these years sounding just as good.
Nothing better than a well used Telecaster
Paul merson on acoustic, the geezer is a polymath
Cheers Jeff 😂
It's Merson and Kier Starmer on lead vocals
Brilliant 😂😂
@@steve10 don’t disgrace him like that lol
@@seemourbutts6679 I felt bad typing it , but I love the lookey likey game 😀
Love this song. Absolute classic, Punks and Skinheads loved this song.
i got the vinyl record too beautiful thing
Squeeze are one of the best live gigs you’ll ever see. Been to see them twice and they are fantastic!
In 1990 I went to see Fleetwood Mac live, opening act was announced - Squeeze - I was over the top thrilled. Great show.
Never seen them but they sure can play!
Saw them in a club on the Argy Bargy tour, and was in awe! Magical performance of terrific songs (of course).
I remember how they physically rocked the stage during rhythmic songs like “Another Nail”. They were on a tear and they knew it.
Voice is still right on! Love these guys!
Love this so much, Glen's voice still sounds spot on. You've only got to hear intros to certain songs and back in time you go. Just in case anyone doesn't know, they are touring soon !
I remember hearing this song for the first time, blew me away. Lyrics absolutely fantastic. How many people the song could relate to.
Nice to see Paul Merson playing acoustic guitar with Squeeze these days ! ;-) ;-)
Not heard that one before…
Sad, but the devil tried to take him from ‘bar to street to bookie’
More Piers Morgan than Paul Merson I reckon
Lyrics, vocals, musicianship..simply amazing!
Two great memories in one, SQUEEZE and the Chris Evans breakfast show! Thank you for sharing Robin
Always loved Squeeze (and preferred them to Madness). Hard to explain, but they remind me of when London was still London
I was so young when this was out at school youth club singing along, nearly 60 now where have the years gone and I still know all the words 😘👍
I like to think we had this, boomtown rats; Rat Trap Specials: Too much to young, (to name but 3) giving us our (Or certainly me) our moral guidance as teenagers.
Still love this song as much as when I first heard it in 79
Just Wonderful!
They sound perfect ,not a note missed or an auto tune in sight
I’m 18 this came up on my recommended and I fell in love with it immediately
Fantastic, Squeeze weren't over rated, they were, and judging by that, still are bloody brilliant!
Squeeze floored me in high school in 1980, but Up the Junction hit home some years later. Great music and lyrics.
Perfection
That beaten up old telecaster is sounding real fine
Bravo, gentlemen.
Superb got tickets to see them in November
More Gold.
Great song
Brilliant story telling and social commentary wrapped up in great tunes, so easy to relate to and enjoy.
Great ,Great, Great.
Still sounds great! Still crushing on Glenn 🥰❤️
Perfect.
Folk music from South London at it's very best. Thank you.
My first all night party back in 79, and this was my world, what more can I say.
Always reminds me of when I started work in May 1979, worked for the same chap until 1996. Always think of him when I hear this song. RIP TWH.
Perfect - thanks!
And that’s how music is made ! … awesome track and performance
Absolutely fucking superb
A song with no chorus, love it.
Dad loved squeeze and when I was a kid in the 80’s he played their albums on cassette as we drove to the park to play football and cricket.
I was so thankful to have taken him
to see them play years later.
so good
God I love this. Such a great song, and so many memories. An American guy, in the 80's I dated a girl from Clapham, and even stayed with her a few months in a flat there, two minutes off the Common...
What a legendary band, I saw them in 1980 and still love them.
Me too.
My all time favourite song saw them a few years ago at Brighton brilliant show very underrated band
One of my all time favourite songs.
Born in '83 here. Fabulous! Far ahead of their time.
SQUEEZE one of my favorites! Good times!
I’m going to see Glenn tomorrow evening in Atlanta. 🎉
My dad had this on vinyl, a purple record. I always remember the lyric " I got a job with Stanley "
Chris Difford wrote some true slice-of-life lyrics, didn’t he?
Hahaha.i had this 7 inch purple vinyl,me sister snapped it in half coz id eaten her choc bar.
@@chasbodaniels1744I honestly only know this one mate 👍
Awesome 😊
Yes yes xxxx
Simply incredible Quintessential song writer's 🎵
Very underrated...great musicians and songwriters.
Great story about a young guy who gave 'life' a good go, but probably just like his father, pissed it all against the wall.
Love Squeeze !!!!!!
What a story teller
Love love love this!
They had some fab songs. Great songwriters.
One of the best 45s ever written.
totally agree brilliant writing
What a great band Squeeze.
And who knew Paul Merson was so accomplished on acoustic guitar.
Haha!
and Keir Starmer lead and vocals
Paul Merson with hints of Simon Jordan i feel
F####ng hilarious 😂
@@leedsboy64and more importantly so could you!!
Still sing it word for word …what a band
Terrific band. 🇬🇧❤️
They always say you are supposed to "show" not "tell" and this song tells a story so beautifully. By the end of the song you know exactly what up the junction must mean and why he's there and you feel for him but know he did it to himself. Such a great band. Miss them.
Love Squeeze great storytelling
This is beautiful. I'm a big Squeeze fan ever since...
Totally underrated band. Squeeze was a brilliant band
Correction: IS a brilliant band!
Saw them live a few years ago..absolutely amazing band
He still sounds AMAZING
Your still the best, brilliant song even after all these years, thanks for performing brings back memories 👍
Brilliant
Just… WOW
Love this. Great toon
simply one of the best songs of the brilliant 1970s seen SQUEEZE loads of times they always deliver
I saw them at the Sage in Gateshead a couple of years ago. Just pure quality.
One of my all time favourites, Chris dyfords lyrics are some of the best ever
What a great song. Funny, sad, and a great tune. One of the few I can recite all the lyrics to
Timeless classic, saw them at Wembley arena last December. Well worth it
Fantastic band wonderful lyricists such lovely melodic tunes.
Seen them back in the early 90s, twice in Preston, I play their music regular, eyes closed chilled with a cold beer!
In my humble opinion, one of the all time best songs ever written, pure genius lyrics
Brilliant, makes you feel good and the guys have aged well. Thanks boys!!
Went to see Madness, warm up band were Lightning seeds what a bonus.
A great classic !
Just the most exquisite song.
That was brilliant, Squeeze are as good now as they were over 40 years ago, even though there are a few missing!👌🖖
Brilliant!
Man that was Awesome! Brings back memories
Love this band, so great to see this video, they have not lost anything, very underrated
Go and see these guys live, they’re brilliant!
Timeless
love this band 10/10
Awesome. True classic
