Squeeze - Is That Love?

[andyh109]

I'm a straight male and I fancy Glenn Tilbrook!

[phonemonkey3]

U2 is awesome? U2 are awesome? Grammar doesn't matter the statement will never be true.

[newfuckingwave]

@ladyactor holy tits i didn't even say anything about u2. and i'm not blaming you for that classification. i'm just attacking the notion of calling real artists 'pop' artists, the same title affixed to miley cyrus and lady gaga

[busterkeatonsbriefs]

@zakieboy123 Everybody is welcome here ok.

[ladyactor]

Comparing Squeeze to U2 is a bit Retarded - squeeze is Pop,and U2 is Rock ...

BUT - I DO LOVE THEM Both!!! ;) [And it's beat me up with your LETTERS - your walk-out Notes...]. k?

[newfuckingwave]

@ladyactor the classification of 'pop' is ludicrous. the monkees were a 'pop' band - created by a record label, with songs written by hired songwriters and instruments played by session musicians. squeeze were real artists - they played their own instruments, wrote their own music, and did both better than most other bands of higher regard. yet because their music is 'happy' and non-political society automatically pidgeon-holes them as 'pop'. same thing happened to duran duran

with you on the mcartney thing.incredibly talented.Loving squeeze too but probably too many talented musicians in one place.In my experience they never last for long .....

[WhiteyMarsh]

beat me up with your lettuce...

[2degucitas]

@WhiteyMarsh you got me hooked on that line

[redsxfn2001]

Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford were brilliant ...

[TheInnerSense1]

they are gigging again, go see if you can.

[XxmcrlooneyxX]

I'm 15, loves Squeeze for about 4 years now. I met Glenn Tilbrook last month & got my picture with him. I also met the drummer Simon Hanson, he is lovely really nice to fans. He spoke to him for about 20 mins and got 2 pictures with him. Along side McFly, Squeeze are my favorite band. They both put on amazing shows and are amazing to their fans.

[TommyCheese12]

squeeze have a sound that would fit into any generation.

[TOKguy]

are they are lip-synching? As this is exactly the same as the album version, it seems yes.

[skinnyrichard]

love it and funnily enough so does my 23year old daughter.............fuck she knows real tunes when she hears em lol

[thighmister]

Way to cut off the end, you monster.

[cinedores]

he looks like the cannibal killer

[charleybo36]

Yes Squeeze are gr8! but the diifference is Squeeze aint Rockers! u2 bon jovi n even coldplay rock it!! but i do prefer squeeze!

[MrBlueSky14]

seeing them in Glasgow on 23rd Nov

[raqul74]

Saw them @ The Hard Rock Cafe last night... they were still spot on, can't wait for the tour.

[UncleSlim64]

I don't think Squeeze could ever have made a bad record if they tried.

[har413]

I LOVE THIS SONG (now that is love...)

[FlipJick]

FUUUUUUUU THEY RUINED THE ENDING! I love how he says it like "Moi moi moi" instead of "More ya more ya more ya." It just makes it a more unique song.

[Djian1970]

My favourite track from the critically acclaimed "East Side Story" album.

[azuladisima]

como me gusta!

[dirtycrawlers100]

Classic!!

[yarmork]

Saw them live in 1984 in a suburb of Chicago. So glad I was there!

[lauraevans2020]

God, I feel old watching this!

[ramanon]

Now The Squeeze are before my tim barely Every old song I rediscover is an instant classic for me. Cool For Cats should be a staple of cheese and school disco as much as Come On Eileine and Karma Chameleon, Up the junction should be on all the love song compilations... These timeless songs need a champion to get them mainstream!!

[sonicfrogdotnet]

I played this song in my college band oh so many years ago. It's really fun to play!

[MultiGilligan]

I saw them live once

[laurence28r]

just one of their many great songs! all so well constructed!

[likebigg]

this is class

[Yaldarra]

squeeze should have far more acclaim..brilliant songs perfectly delivered ..fantastic

[danielthomasslade]

they will always be apprieciated by proper music fans. soory about my spelling!

[bonzodog10]

That Steve Wright has to YAP over everything !

[deathfromabove77]

Lennon was ludicrously overrated. Turned more into an "icon" in the 70s rather than an artist of real stature. His solo records were mostly shite.McCartney got a lot of flak with Wings, but gimme his body of work ( with the obvious exceptions) over Lennon anyday....Anyway, Squeeze are classic and in a perfect world they should be selling out stadiums , not fucking U2, Robbie Williams or Hannah Montana

[TheNicholas0202]

@deathfromabove77 Not true, John Lennon was hated during the 70s, thats why his records never sold. John became an icon again when he died in 1980. His records weren't shite, as much as I love Squeeze, they are no where near his genius.

[yarmork]

@deathfromabove77

I'm not going to say overrated but his last album was failing miserably until he was shot.

[existentialcwby]

@deathfromabove77 well said. mccartney was always a better artist (of course lennon put out amazing stuff but on a whole mccartney is better - 'lennon is the lesser of two beatles'). after the beatles broke up, lennons ego got so bloated that he deluded himself into thinking he could create world peace by lying in bed all day, and his art suffered incredibly (make art now, protest later, i say). i just discovered squeeze, but i cant wait to find out more of their stuff. they and xtc kick ass.

[allanwestwood]

@existentialcwby having read ur comment i think imagine is the second best song ever,,do you agree with that??

[existentialcwby]

@allanwestwood yes, of course imagine is the second best song ever, second only to lady gaga's 'poker face'.

[existentialcwby]

@deathfromabove77 oh yeah, and fuck u2 for so many reasons, but especially for not putting out anything good since the joshua tree, for bono thinking his fucking ego holds the world together, and the edge for being pretentious enough to call himself 'the edge', and for being an incredibly overrated guitarist (anyone can sound good with enough reverb, echo and distortion, the real trick is to play well without those effects). our opinions are not very popular though, so lets be careful.

[uclrichard]

@deathfromabove77 you've never heard 'plastic ono band' or you've no taste....all wings is shite....

[williambenton]

@deathfromabove77 I think its apples vs. oranges. I grew into the Lennon catalog and can only think of one record I don't listen to so much- absolutely cannot get into McCartney; he's a sanitized personality that translates accordingly into very "safe" music. He's an incredible technical talent though. And, with that said, we have what might have been the fire and gasoline that was Lennon/McCartney songwriting.

Ab-so-fuckin'-lutely on yer closing statement(s).

[carlymoseley]

@deathfromabove77 true true, looking forward to some new material (other than spot the difference) from Squeeze - I heard a rumour some was on it's way.

[skinnyrichard]

@deathfromabove77 so fucking eloqently put :-)

[spaceman979]

@deathfromabove77 absolutley, you put it so well, lennon was overrated, hugely overrated, as for squeeze ! sublime, perfection

[bleo34]

Did I just read John Lennon only succeeded because he got shot?

Bizarre.

[jonasosaurus]

Yeah Thats REALY bizzare

[chillbocamron]

One of my favorite songs and bands!

Thanks for the post!

[HaroldEarlMusic]

yeah man.

just cos he didn't get shot people don't recognise it lol

it must suck to be in a job where dying young is the only surefire way to succeed...

[69Coult]

fully agree preoo

[Pre00]

better pop songwriter than Lennon...great guitarist too

[88gretschman]

in your tiny mind!!!! im sure mr tilbrook would disagree on that one, but i will say he is a great songwriter.

[bleo34]

Stretching it a bit there. Squeeze were a great eclectic pop band but Lennon wrote some really cutting edge pop stuff for his era.

[mickauld]

in reply to u ppl who wonder why they aren't live top of the pops ddn't do real live performances till the 90's to bring back viewers who where sick of ppl just goin on and takin the piss lol

[debs4mysweetbaby]

Totally agree!

[moncheto]

Kimi Raikonen

[speghetto]

They are lip syncing. It's a great song, but they aren't even performing it! Too bad...

[debs4mysweetbaby]

These are early MTV videos to studio cuts..

Nobody did them live unless it was a live concert.

[edelvb]

yeah Y.A is handy for that, hope you liked what you heard, they are a brillant band..

[xokristiebaby18]

Yahoo answers brought me here :)

[zakshadow666]

i am a huge huge fan but the only resemblance i see is glen with ... sorry but frank skinner !!

[roryfromlondon]

superb tune

[vulpecula999]

what sort of moron wrote that caption - you can see the resemblance between Tilbrook and C. Richard !!!! There is no resemblance whatever - Tilbrook is a highly talented singer/songwriter/musician. C. Richard is a talentless tit

[renotsecniv]

This band is fantastic.

[sameoldfitup2008]

Great Band Man........

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

Nice close up footage of the lovely Glenn Tilbrook and a great Squeeze song as well.

[omddeb]

He is lovely, isn't he? Such a cutie. Love this song.

[alanoc22]

@LiveCrueltyFreeNow IIts my favourite Squeeze song, and i like most of their songs.

Give me Squeeze over U2, or Robbie whats his face, anyday, and Mannah Hontans, he,s good, hehehe.

[ratfinkrodder]

Great song i grew up listening to squeeze, Big fan... went to see them last year. They still sound great, Met glen T in Asda's aswell.

[willminkorea]

I'm looking for a good version of "If I didn't love you." Great song.

[ePhilosopher]

drink" absinthe

book" faulkner

song" mantlepiece

[vulpecula999]

great song - once again spoiled by the moronic captions written by that tit wright

[formula602]

Is that Paul Carrock on keys?

[MACKattackLOWRY]

:41

IS HAT JOHN STAMOS!!!???

[jamierourketen]

brilliant lyrics to every song they ever wrote,gt lived next to me in bromley,was always to scared to say hello!!!!

[commandoroadster]

3 decades on, and melodic hook-laden Squeeze songs like this still sound so superbly brilliant !!

Maybe they still could be commercial today if only they were marketed better? Glenn/Chris/Squeeze have fan-bases worldwide! They can out-play most guitar players in any of today's bands! They've deserved more success with their absolute mass of brilliant musical talent both as solo artists and as the great band SQUEEZE. Should be millionaires but I just don't think they're ever marketed properly.

[170607Amused]

My 5 year olds want to be rock stars too - hope their dreams come true. If they're anywhere near as talented as GT and the others, I'll be a happy mummy!!

[velopraeceptor]

Great song - fond memories. Back in the early eighties they were (rightly) hailed as the new Lennon and McCartney. Love this song. "You called my bluff, I'm not so hot..."
