Squeeze - Hits Of The Year

[unexpectedno4]

i love this video for all its 80s 'qualities'...but have you seen the video for 853-5937? it's even worse :)

[2degucitas]

I think this is the song that was playing in my head today!! I found it! Thanks!!

[22sammycat]

Perfect album

[mlukas]

Prophetic and just as relevant today, sadly, as when it was written..

Amazing song! Loved it ever since it came out. Cracked me up back when it first came out how a lot of people, without listening to the lyrics, thought it was this happy go lucky song about radio hits...

[modifydbear]

Squeeze at their most hilariously dated. Never really could have been a big hit, for which I imagine they are now grateful. Love that dancing though.

[DavidRogers007]

Great energetic track. TERRIBLE video! Rumour is that the guys were pretty unhappy with the plans for the video but knew they had to play along - look at the fun Chris and Jools are having in the background! (The part we're they're swinging the guitars and bowing to eachother).... they are taking the mickey by the way! Brilliant act of rebellion towards a director who tried to take a great British band with substance and turn them into watered down Bon Jovi look-alikes!

[notasbrightasicouldb]

fantastic song. amazing musicians. amazing band. horrible a&r, styling and video. what did they do to my beauties?!!!!

[Oregonduck2008]

Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti is the album...It was finally I-tuned last year!!!

[hombredemezcal]

... is this song in Itunes?

I want a copy!!!

Pleeeasseeeee!!!

¡Gracias!

[chrism823]

Slippery When Wet? My share is waiting for you--you're welcome to it.

[chipdaniel2]

Thanx for posting this early video of mine. I am the co-director/editor and producer of the clip. If you add my name to your more info section, it will get more plays as I have tons of fans of my over 90 MTV and VH-1 music videos. Best, Chip Miller (filmmaker & music video director) Hollywood, CA

[GreekGuy9999]

@chipdaniel2 Chip..you should be shot dead for ever being a part of this!!!

[castertunes1967]

this iseasily the high water mark of this album...such a tight band!..."king george st." is also good

[bigworld3001]

nice bouncy little tune. wasn't it about hijacking, though??

[drlarrymitchell]

I just sang my son George to sleep with this one.

That little boy has some good taste- just like his Daddy!

[Canedude08]

What's funny is that youtube is the only place where you can find this song..Squeeze is almost ashamed to put this song on Itunes..

[DoroteoVilla]

Awful video. Had I seen this back in 1985, I would have bought "Slippery when wet" instead of this! My life may have turned out completely different. I may have turned out to be a real douche bag but hey, I would have gotten laid more. I guess that's what the "butterfly effect" is all about.

[KyleeDick]

I love this song. I haven't heard or seen it for many years.

[Comptekhs]

I wonder is that a midi controlled Akai wind air instrument or is it just a synthesizer keyboard and he is fake playing that in the video?

[Lparr00]

Aaaahhhhhhh....80's Glenn.....

[GreekGuy9999]

Rumor has it this video was made for $3.25 and a couple of glass beads.

[omddeb]

I really, really like this. OK, it's a tad 80's-ish, but the song is very good.

[GreekGuy9999]

Okay, we have a guy going spastic with an accordion at :35 and having caniptions at 1:48.

THIS VIDEO IS SO VERY WRONG!!!!

[bigbobvub]

This is an underated tune. Great beat and guitar licks. Don't read too much into it, its just a song.

[cathysteria]

omgoshh ur comment made me laugh so much as i watched the video hahaha

[HotEast]

LOL! I used to dance like that back in the 80's, but I had to be pretty tanked to do it.

[puppetxchan]

Thanks for uploading! I love this video!

[NijelBoswell]

i enjoy their Dancing, however i find that it shows no reason how they can do that without actually playing their guitars. If i could do that in real life, i would be glad.

[paulsmartialarts]

Glenn looks like he's about to have an anxiety attack when he wipes his brow. They are clearly jet-lagged and not enjoying themselves. I recommend anyone to watch this on DVD to see the full horror in better detail, like Jools' facial expression at 0:45...

[rotsa1]

The drummer Gilson Lavis is a deal ringer for NFL Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells.

This a GREAT SONG! One of those infectious melodies you just cannot get out of your head.

[sandlog3]

from my favorite squeeze record,"cosi fan tutti frutti". goes beyond their "pub-rock" sound, which pissed off some people. still inspires me to this day...

[bubellie]

The good old days of Squeeze....I miss Jools!

[stugats1]

Saw Squeeze last night in Bsotn. Great show.. This song was nowhere to be found though. Really enjoyed Messed Around and Slightly drunk. East Side Story was awsome

[becky219]

Why does this version seem so much faster than on the album?

[magickrat]

It seems faster because the producers sped up the video to fit more in videos in their timeframe. It's an old trick.

[ksmit]

plus the vocal is up about a whole step.....good catch.

[roshambo1985]

OK I never liked this band till an old College roomate played this album for me. Yes album . STill love this song

[gymman1031]

Did you all know that Squeeze is touring North America in the Summer of 2007?

[becky219]

Got my tix for Sayreville, NJ!!

[CJARCHIVES]

Sayreville, where are they, club Bene or

the Abyss?

[shirazio]

Love this song.  Thanks for posting.

[dklyde]

A Miami Vice parody. Very cool

[NickSayle]

CHEESY VIDEO!!!! great song though from the best band in the world!!!

[sexyonion]

Jesus, what the hell is Glenn wearing.  Is he Martha Stewart? Sounds like Michael Jackson in this video.

[kikkiokioli]

Looks like a reject from a Miami Vice episode. Lol, love Glenn, but man.. so much to mock in this video!

[RachelAnne55]

Jeez, I love Glenn bit this post is so true, lol.

[HotEast]

I agree the video is kinda lame, but the song left me hanging, too. Here's this song that builds up to becoming hostages in a hijacking and concludes with no literal ending or even a more elaborate instrumental close. I still like it, but wish they put another 30 - 45 seconds into the music.

[becky219]

I couldn't stop laughing while watching this! God, what a horribly cheesy TOTALLY '80s video. Still, Glenn Tilbrook is a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. He could sing the alphabet song and I'd be in heaven.

[michaeluae]

Has anyone ever thought of the fact that this song is about an airliner hijacking, a good 15 years before 9/11 and such?

[brucec43]

You know they were hijacking planes long before '85. Geez.

[michaeluae]

Yes, but it was hardly something that was visible in everyday life or pop culture in the '80s the way it is since 9/11. It was considered a remote possibilty and security then was less than tight, in fact, some airlines (including the major one in Squeeze's home country) left the cockpit door open and allowed passengers to visit the cockpit in flight pretty much right up until 9/11.

[almadora]

jools, my sweetheart! come and find me...whisper in my ear... kiss me until i faint. take me, i'm yours!

[kikkiokioli]

I cringe when Glenn wipes his brow at the 2:00 minute mark. What a fey performance. Nice costume change during the guitar solo too, lol. I enjoy Chris & Jools performances though. All in all, not a horrible video, but the song deserved better.

[heavysoul]

i really love this song although i agree the video is weak but i am still very happy to finally find it as i haven't seen it in years. thanks very much!

[sarahfrederike]

Glenn looks so sexy in this video, arrggg, i love this man, his voice is amazing, i love this song, i love everything from Squeeze

[bexappeal]

Glenn Tilbrook is a very sexy man!! Watch the 'Love's Crashing Waves' Video-he's so cute!!

[GreekGuy9999]

What an AWFUL video for such a cool song!!! I openly weep for the boys to know this was part of their history.

[Darwood]

I could have sworn there was another video for this song.

[paulsmartialarts]

Chris Difford: "We had to make a video for this and we were talked into doing it with a film director in LA. We flew in, feeling rather the worse for wear when we arrived, recorded the video, and then came straight back. After all that, it's the worst video you can imagine, recorded in front of a blue screen. When we left, the director put all these goings on behind. It was meant to be MTV-like, so we had to conform to what they wanted, but it cost about $100,000. A total waste of money."

[paleedge]

cosi fan tutti fruiti great album. but didnt get much play in the U.S.

[ghm113]

Thanks, LoveRemoval!! One of my faves from the 85-86 school year.
