Squeeze - Up The Junction

[zkxb]

Squeeze : Brilliant

VEVO : Ass clowns

[rossvilla4]

graet song it is a lot better than morden chavey music

[TallFastLoud]

The slight changes in the chord progression of the second verse are perfect

[babymoondancer]

@TallFastLoud Aren't they? I like how the final key changes are setting us up for a happy ending, but it's not.

[rockine33]

good song

[TheUnclerickie]

Underrated, Understated, but a fucking brilliant snapshot of what was so right about music as we moved into the 1980's.

[Masterkavi]

This, is simply brilliant.

[kmbs2010]

jools holland is a seriously cool dude

[AKaFergeee]

My favourite song of all time....... coming from a 15 year old who's generation are forced to listen to utter excrement! Bring back 1979 please :(

[therealribbit]

I'm viewing this now.... for everyone else.

[MrAlexIsWeird]

Y THIS NO HAVE MORE VIEWS

[fulhambob]

I fucking love this lot.



[dianeglenn2002]

Can someone confirm to me that this was number 1 in June 1979? I am sure it was when my daughter was born.

[M1st3rB3nn]

@dianeglenn2002 I'm afraid this great song only reached number 2. Reading about June 1979, the number one was one of:

up to the 12th - Sunday Girl by Blondie,

12th to 26th - Ring My Bell by Anita Ward,

27th onwards - Are Friends Electric by Tubeway Army.

[irishdarts22]

i wish music like this was still being made. beautiful!

[Akco007]

@irishdarts22 You're in luck it is. You just have to look for it. Try listener- wooden heart.

[Chauchat7777]

"No more nights smakin' smelly"?

Ok-- what is he saying, please?

[Vyvyan92]

@Chauchat7777 No more nights nappy smelling

[265Feral]

@Chauchat7777

Its 'nappies smelly'! Great song....

[ccbryann63]

So young! What a string of fabulous albums they had. I like how the video is (appears to be?) shot just in someone's kitchen, with the girls making tea in the bacKground. Glenn is playing the guitar that Chris plays in the "Cool for Cats" video. They were just blokes in a band...

[ASBOMAN]

What a tune. before my time and brilliant

[TOSHT2011]

5 people have never been up the junction

[YelenaRoX]

this song makes me feel nostalgic, but this is the first time i've heard it.

[Renasense]

Love this song since i was 2, all because of the reference to clapham!

Was my favourite song when I lived in clapham! Classic!

[jason69332]

adverts youtube need the money? lol love this song tho

[helengrocks]

sound quality is terrible on this. I wish this were posted with good quality sound.

[kempouk]

@helengrocks THATS ALL WE HAD IN THEM DAYS

[zephy1001]

Amazingly good song shame about Having to watch a hair colour advert beforehand 

[2008Sameoldfitup]

great

[DoubleVisionandco]

I hear some similarity to Gwen Stefani`s "cool"

I think she kinda barrowed a little bit from this tune.

[caerus12]

Wow - what a great song still - I've loved this since the day I first heard it when it came out. And Jools Holland looks so cool on this - with the shades and the cigar. Brilliant.

[Davidindigitaland]

Yawn yawn yawn.. sell me sell me... Alas a lac a day dee.. Over one minute of adverts shite Great song thoughg

[newfuckingwave]

@Davidindigitaland well the video is FREE so it's not all that bad

[derekthesec]

[tigerpaint1964]

[HollyRollerNovocaine]

[xMadelienex]

Lyrically this song is so simple and so beautiful.

[04jhayes]

this really a good song the 5 people who hate it wud most likey are justin bieber lovers

[minnigaffman01]

my pal wullie died this was his favorite song .



[Alexm799]

Looks like my old Science classroom in Mill lane before they called it some incredibly long and verbose name as part of this academy re branding nonsense.

[ijohnh]

brilliant oldskool

[tomsibub32]

make me proud to be from south east london

[sophiekitten1]

@tomsibub32 Makes me proud to be British-i'm a scot and i love it!Thanks.

[xMidnightGamer]

@tomsibub32 why squeeze are shit !

[claredai]

justin bieber,jls,lady gaga,take that and the saturdays this is a band who can actually play instruments and the songs actually have meaning and they write them. God bless squeeze!

[MissLJ78]

is it just me or does the lead singer look off his face (stoned)

[MissLJ78]

LOVE IT i had the biggest crush on this guy , even though this was out b4 i was born .. so god knows wat he looked like then .. TOP TUNE THOUGH

[Bloodgod40]

The people in the background are making drugs

[hottestbabe1000]

Bring it all back...life is shite today with crap music....where did it all go wrong..??...!!!

[algerbraistj65]

@hottestbabe1000 The musics still there just got to look a little harder these days, you will never beat the old school though , written from the heart :-)

[splinter360]

Only just found these guys. hah. But better late than never. this is a brilliant song. And wonderfully touching lyrics. "I'd beg for forgiveness, but begging aint my business" Wonderful lyrics.

[krakenwave]

@splinter360

"The devil came and took me

From bar to street to bookie..."

Fucking classic

[cyprixx]

If this was the only song they made, they would still be great.

[julesthemadman]

I have always believed my ideal film, summing up my taste in humour and serious drama in one, would be called "Carry on Up the Junction"... This song could be the theme.

[swedeseed]

this song is an absolute national treasure...a 7" lilac vinyl copy should be preserved and on display in the British Museum

[RogerPymp]

Well let's face it we've all been up that particular place without a paddle.

[thirdlegUK]

i bet you are reading this while adverts are playing

[chazs001]

someone said michelle collins made her acting debut in this vid, cant see her.

[terryjohn]

@chazs001 yes she did..another vid.through..

[TheBelly58]

May 79, I was 21, just met the First Ex Wife, life was great and this song reminds me of that time. If only I'd known that the lyrics would map out the rest of my life...Ha! And don't they look so young! I know I sound like a mentalist, but I love this track. Going to have it at me funeral.

[doodlebugintheveg]

You have to love the green pants :D

[doodlebugintheveg]

You got to love the leads green pants...

[jamesupjimmy]

very cheesey lyrics

[MangaMusician]

@jamesupjimmy i dont think that cheesy is quite the word

[jamesupjimmy]

@MangaMusician what is the word then

[Huskiemusic]

@jamesupjimmy perfect?

[liamtrotsky]

one of the greatest songs ever written and quite apt for our times one would think.

[Eddi91]

best bit is when the woman passes jools a cup of tea... cool as fuck

[neonatalpenguin]

Jools Holland may not be the coolest cat in the world, but he's in the top ten.

[TheLynneebrown]

The devil came and took me from Bartestree to boogie... any Herefordians out there?

[HappyScaff]

I Just wish VIVO would fuck oFF!

[xtstevie]

@HappyScaff How do you get rid of this nonsense good friend ? Brilliant song ruined !!!

[InjexDnB]

@xtstevie How has it affected the song in ANY way? It's exactly the same as any other youtube video, bar the "VEVO" in the bottom right and the ad beneath the video.

[TheDonrogers]

That brings back memories.... thanks

[TheNicholas0202]

I love his shirt

[rwillemars]

[IGotTheChatlogz]

[leahdale100]

my mum thought alot of this band! I'm so glad she liked them, she died recently and the artists she liked has heleped me through some tough times.x This song we listend to together a week before she died and she remenised how she loved this song and many more by squeeze! I am very lucky to have listent to this song and heard of this band through my late mother Gillian Gibson 1970-2010, I recently bought the Squeeze albub off i-tunes! Thank you my beloved mother for sharing you memories with me.x

[cunningsophie]

@leahdale100 Great song.hope you're gettingthere. :-)

[Biffawozere]

@leahdale100... im a bit choked after i read your comment - its amazing how certain songs stay with us - this takes me back to when i was at school when i was 15 - peace n luv to you .... :))

[Sean4NO]

@leahdale100 Hey your comments touched me..glad you find comfort in the tunes your mum loved and liked. hope every tune you listen to gives you good memories and smiles.

[agdtk5]

@leahdale100 Bless you. You must be quite young if your Mum was born in 1970. I think it sounds like she has done a lovely job in bringing you up. I lost my Mum too, last Christmas. She was 76, but very fit and well and her death was a terrible shock. I too find myself watching her favourite music on Youtube, because it makes me feel closer to her. I hope you have lots of support during this sad time, and I'll bet your mum is very proud of you. xx

[Kingcarl1213]

@leahdale100 It is an age thing, I love them too, sorry for your loss but you will always have the memories she left you with, I lost my daughter in 97, my Dad in 06 and my little sister in 2008, some times life is shit, but big hugs Darling.xx

[DamnedDamnedDamned1]

@leahdale100 That's really really touching to read it sent shivers up my spine x

[ToxicTurquoise454]

[godkingRoss]

[billyboi85]

[helpimafishcake]

Jools was a cool dude!

[brikel]

loved this song when it was first released and still do to this day

[bioux101]

No chorus yet you wouldn't notice because the melody is so strong, Ace

[INDIANBLANKET]

@bioux101 It was only until you said that I realised, you're right, the song has no chorus. Song is so great, it doesn't need it.

[MrElegos]

@INDIANBLANKET No chorus, yet it's still fantastically catchy.

[drjwthorne666]

@MrElegos That is the genius of this tune

[gerretl]

This is the bst song ever written. A three year relationship in three minutes.Genius

[rvpstudios]

I saw them in Hamilton, ON. at the Festival of Friends. They were AWESOME! I can't believe I saw them in concert for FREE!

[Superjuniorbox15]

[ThiefInLaw]

Cool as shit how everything rhymes. 

[Greffah8]

All I can say is the song is AWESOME.

[Cyberfender1]

[3fam123]

Classic song, timeless lyrics

[vulpecula999]

does there have to be an advert on every fucking video !!!!!!

[bryemycaz]

One thing ive always noticed with this vid and Cool for cats. is that Glens Singing this one and using the Gibson whilst Chris has the Fender, then in Cool for Cats Chris is singing and has the Gibson whilst Glen has the Fender.

[SlavicPurpose07]

great song along with cool for cats, great lyrics too...

[Rabbibunny]

0:03 Looks like Jackson didn't die but went back in time to play for an old British band ...

[protzy16]

@Rabbibunny That's Jools Holland! But I do see the resemblance lol.

[rundle1958]

Jools on keyboard and cigar

[amsamuel]

Cool song.

DOWN SOUTH!!!

[MrSlowcountry]

Hmmm I think I'm going crazy...I heard this once long ago, and I thought it was one of the Beatles, likely John Lennon. Obviously not, but I though it sounded a like him.

[sipg1]

this song started my long relationship with rubber johnnies..............

[Stevetheoaktree]

Great cockney band :)

[bluevalleysongbird]
