Squeeze - Is That Love?

[ChasBeauregarde]

This appears to be the original video. Restored audio sounds great, video looks like it was converted from VHS recorded from an aerial TV signal. Actually looks kind of cool. I predict the next big special effects for filmmakers and videographers is the shifting analogue TV signal. BTW a great song from East Side Story. Thanks for posting!

[Lagrangeify]

Genius!

[scarahdee69]

my kids think the lyrics go ...beat me up with your lettuce....lol

[Kedbuka]

@scarahdee69 funny!

[enrobhcit]

Squeeze what can i say what a bloody good band with music you can understand not like this crap today ...wake up world go out and buy the best of squeeze you really do not know what you are missing......................g­od save the queen

[7mmike7]

If I put a girls legs up she won't be readibg!LOL!

[uhhsam]

for those wondering what beatles song this is similar to, it is "i'll be back" from the album "a hard day's night". mainly for the chord changes when they say "that is love" and "back again", respectively.

[upahill23]

I always sing 'beat me up with your lettuce'. Its a song about a violent greengrocer!!

[2degucitas]

@upahill23 Good one!!

[djquirke1]

beatles shmeatles ! squeeze r 100% origi

[RobertRuhi]

One of the best Squeeze songs from a brilliant outfit

[iBeep2009]

basically they ripped off the beatles , and passed it off as original to a generation who were too young to remember the B sides.

[nirvanaandthebeatles]

@iBeep2009 not to sound like im trying to protect squeeze, because im on this video by accident, basically, but i'd like to know your opinion on the song by the beatles that this is a rip-off of. i listen to the beatles quite often, but i cant see what song this is supposed to be copying

[WalnutterProductions]

@iBeep2009 i rather everyone just ripped off the beatles, much better than the shit in the charts these days

[barekitten]

the very epitomy of love.

[musikbox08]

no VEVO?

awww shitter im pissed mate ;)

jk down with VEVO up with squeeze <3

[616ShadowFox]

my dad loves these and i have listend to them for as long as i can remember

[TOKguy]

I'm 8 now and I've liked them since I was 3.

[Johnny75416]

This one is beautifully Beatlesque; Tilbrook & Difford crafted superb pop songs

[bassmanjoe]

10 DISLIKES???????????????

[landslidepurist]

Brilliant song. Highly recommend the 'Singles 45s and Under' collection that this appears on.

[84Josey]

my dad got me into squeeze - will always be a big pasrt of my childhood! _ am 26 now! x

[TheStiggzOfficial]

The teasing glances....

[hibeegirl17]

glenn tilbrook...georgeous xxxxx seen him when i was 14 am 39 now still love him xx

[ziggybin]

ever seen tilbrook play hendrix  brilliant ,i was shocked

[bigworld3001]

Difford, Tillbrook, Carrack...Magic!!

[UKSandman]

Remember this acoustic at glasto (around 2001 me thinks) couple of years on the trot if i remember. Happy days.

[metfanal]

saw squeeze 7/18.......wow....tillbrook sounds like it's still 1979!!! outstanding

[Tycho114]

@metfanal  Yup, they sound great on this tour.

[MOTHIKAS]

The greatest Beatles song,that wasnt written by the Beatles.I cant pay any higher praise.Great song.Great sound.Great everything. And a great song.

[ignitethejourney]

this is love.

[rgglick]

GREAT.

[shiona0906]

tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee

[dirtycrawlers100]

Absolutely love this song!!

[rujadae]

awesome band - brings back memories

[lemonrhyme13]

Favorite Squeeze Song! My parents used to play their greatest hits tape in the car when I was little and I got hooked. They deserve more popularity here in the United States for sure.

[delta28648]

yes Argy Bargy and East side are crucial recordings

but if you are lucky enough to have seen the tour with Elvis Costello doing the Get Happy album songs you are lucky indeed

so much talent on one stage boggles the mind, ticket price? six bucks : )

[keddw]

They certainly taught Crowded House a thing or two!

[hmlessalky]

Awesome post.

[ArgentineJu]

I never tire of hearing this - now is that love?

[bigworld3001]

Great to see Paul Carrack in there!

[MrLaydownsally]

yeah takes you back to school days , saw them live in thier prime . fantastic

[vagabondicus]

"O" levels - 1981.

Mam and dad's front room. Radio 1.

Give me a time machine.

[blakewaugh]

wicked group....remember my dad and his friend using rakes as guitars.... happy memories..

[Arkady63]

East Side Story was a brilliant piece of work. There isn't a bad track on that album.

Argy Bargy and East Side Story were most definitely Squeeze at the top of their game.

It must've been a good feeling, being in the midst of making an album they knew were going to be winners.

Cheers for the upload.

[XxmcrlooneyxX]

I actually LOVE squeeze.

One of the young ones who actually likes decent music. im 14 :D

lol ♥

[ecksact]

Thumbs up from me, kid!

[MultiGilligan]

@XxmcrlooneyxX I'm 14 now also and I saw them in concert when i was 12

[XxmcrlooneyxX]

@MultiGilligan nice. I'm not far of 16 now and I've seen Glenn once and Squeeze once, amazing.

[MultiGilligan]

@XxmcrlooneyxX heck, you are right!!!

[zeLudoo]

@XxmcrlooneyxX Haha, I'm 14 too, it's rare to see people of your (our) age who are listening to true music

.

[pjrg1919]

@zeLudoo 16 here, true music's alive and well in my book. Although "true" is slightly misleading to say, its all a matter of culture. 60 years ago the Beatles were the destroyers of "true" music, its all perspective and personal tastes.

[zeLudoo]

@pjrg1919 Of course, I agree, but I don't think it's the same for squeeze.

[begonaify]

@XxmcrlooneyxX me to!

[Fioneenacockeen]

class track

[normsfletcher]

My assets froze while yours have dropped - classic!

[edublancov]

yeah i know and free? haha

[edublancov]

where can i get this song? thanks!

[davidbowe]

i tunes

[whammy0000]

Squeeze,the last band to not only sound fantastic but tell it like it is.

[REIworker]

yeeahhhhh!

[prettyoddchild]

I love squeeze! i was singing this song last night!

[Cyberfender1]

I have lived this song. I feel it pertains to me. my ex used to " Beat me up with your letters,your walk out notes" I was soo wipped(like butter)

[SodeyPop2]

sounds like a funky 80s version of the beatles.

i <3 squeeze

[beamerman1964]

i love this song brings back so many oh ?/

[springsteensucks25]

Cool video! I did not know existed for this song.

[kahetel13]

thanks for posting this song :) great lyrics , music and memories :)))))

[TruthAxe]

Brilliant solo. Perfect, in fact.

[zillaged]

great chuffing tune though!!

[zillaged]

all 80's videos were shite, unless you had the budget to hire john landis!

[carastrathieee]

if you liked the song the video wouldnt be a problem

[setking46]

great band,fantastic music8 but sadly shite videos

[setking46]

squeeze what can i say? they made fantastic music but shite videos!

[xSmartBombx]

This one and "Up the Junction" were my faves back in my college daze at FSU in the late 1980's but I discovered SQUEEZE in high school from "Pulling Mussels from a Shell" when I was a guitarist trying to learn Yngwie and Randy Rhoads licks on the guitar.

[stupidcunts]

"beat me up with your letters your walk out notes" :) lol

[tseekr379]

Holy sh*t! I haven't heard this song in years - I've almost forgotten about it.... thanks!

[ddgsuzie]

great group

[ddgsuzie]

great song

[knabein]

was squeeze in the international womens haters club? it just seems tha afew of their songs deal with bad women? great band! great song!!! miss those days...

[felicita29]

never heard it in the netherlands for sure !!!!

[eddiet90]

wot a tune

[porker3]

Love it...close to the perfect brit 3 minute pop song!

[nyr9430]

OMG OMG OMG OMG

I NEVER KNEW THAT THIS SONG WAZ BY SQUEEZEE!!

i <3 squeeze!

[GreekGuy9999]

This song can't hold a match to "Hits of the Year". Too bad that video is so painfully bad it never got airplay (and rightfully so). What were they THINKING????

[twgigante]

vid bad-song great

[tayloreh]

View no 50,001

[LiLWitch1]

lol! GREAT SONG! "No, you're schmoopoie scmoopie disguise" - seinfeld NICE commment! love it....so fits! then again the surf JR.Brown stuff so looooooooove it!

[2degucitas]

Just so Beatlesque, they are perfect. I loves me some squeeze.

[lifegardgrll]

Excellent melody, words, guitar hook, etc: "You left my ring by the soap; now is that love? - Beat me up with your letters, your walk-out notes; funny how u still find me, legs up with a book and a drink, now is that love that's makin you think?" - brilliant.

Glenn Tillbrook /Jules Holland RULE!!!

[Imheretotestify]

jules holland sucks crank!

[MyChemicalToxicX]

I love this song ^^

[ePhilosopher]

"No, you're schmoopoie scmoopie disguise" - seinfeld

[Brokenneckj]

Love squeeze, forgot about this song, isn't that great when you find a song you forgot exsisted....

[fishgirl314]

Are you F'in kidding me??? This song has it all. True heart AND a dance groove!

Stacey Elise, have Jason clear the dance floor.

[mistermadam]

mmm ... I'll be back ?

[erictburchfield]

ummm, you guys are like totally, ummmmm, cool i guess. i mean i like this song and a couple others but not like everything you guys do. like in a list of my fav. bands i wouldnt put you in the top 10 but ironically i would put this song in my top 10. wierd how stuff works out. you guys rule! (sometimes)

[zxz1]

good shout

[beatrixxy]

I love the lyrics and the melody of this song so much. It is so perfect. I had never seen this video before, so thanks... they were giants!

[thehumanbeast777]

biddy, it's actually a harmonic minor scale, and not pentatonic

[dnarbbrand]

My favourite Squeeze song as well!!

[goodgrief78]

This is my absolute favorite Squeeze song...so freaking tight.

[Arkady63]

Cool for Cats, Argybargy and East Side Story were Squeeze at the top of their games.

Squeeze was my very last "favourite" band.

[stowbury]

They were also my last favourite band, but I think they reached their peak slightly later with Sweets From a Stranger in '83.

[Arkady63]

They were the nuts!

[kdw456]

You called my bluff i'm not so hot, great lyric!

[Arkady63]

The greatest lyric in the history of language was written by Lavis & Tilbrook in their song Up the Junction:

"And when the time was ready, we had to sell the telly..."

;-)

No line greater could ever be penned by the hand of man.

[scott715]

This song is genius.

[biddymagee]

love the intro............minor pentatonic...hic!

[shanehems]

saw them at reading in 88 they were fantastic

[Ethergirl]

Squeeze is one of our influences. If you like an upbeat pop song, please take a minute to check out our first music video, "Where's Jeffrey?" - Ether Park

Thanks!

[dannym2008]

have you got a website

[Ethergirl]

Hey dannym,

Yes we have a myspace page, go to myspace and put in Ether Park ( comments here won't let me put in url). Thanks!

Take care!

Sue of Ether Park

[bigworld1001]

great to see fellow squeezeheads out here...cheers to u guys!!!

[barrelh]

Sing my 6 year old daughters to sleep with this every night. We all think it's pop perfection. They call it "The more these girls forget". Timeless classic.

[icantgetnosleeep]

completely underrated band.

[CaptainWii64]

This is one of my favourite songs in the whole world!

[merseyside]

1981 its from

[bowsey2007]

love this song my fav squeeze song is take me im yours what a class tune

[inphaserat]

Youve left my ring by the soap,

Now is that love?

You cleaned me out you could say broke,

Now is that love?

The better better better it gets

The more these girls forget

That that is love.

[inphaserat]

You wont get dressed you walk about, Now is that, is that A teasing glance has pushed me out, Now is that, is that The tougher tougher tougher it gets The more my lips frequent Now that is love. Beat me up with your letters, your walk out notes, Funny how you still find me right here at home. Legs up with a book and a drink, Now is that love thats making you think.

[inphaserat]

Youve called my bluff Im not so hot,

Now is that love

My assets froze while yours have dropped,

Now is that, is that

Its the cupid cupid cupid disguise

That more or less survived

Now that is love.

Beat me up with your letters, your walk out notes,

Funny how you still find me right here at home.

[inphaserat]

Legs up with a book and a drink,

Now is that love thats making you think.

Youve made my bed the finger points

Now is that, is that love

The more you more you more you cool down

The easier love is found

Now that is love.

[lippy170]

Abit of a naff video but a classic tune

[onlyed87]

Great song. Not great video.

[KARENCOGS]

Awesome song. brings back alot of high school memories. I even got my 12 year old into them!

[Rodjeure]

Greeeaaaaaat pop song.

I remember " esatside story " a good forgotten album.

79-81 , what great years !!

[Arkady63]

Cheers for the vid.  Well done...brilliant song, too!

[pollypop]

Great song, very Beatles. Video is intentionally dodgy quality by the way.

[Deeperpurple1952]

so it's meant to keep sticking ??

[pollypop]

Prob your comps fault, are you thick?.

[Deeperpurple1952]

only video I ever played that sticks, so the answer is, it's not my comp, I've watched about 5 more since, no problems..so go stick your head up your arse, if it's not there already.

[pollypop]

Head not up arse no, just accept it's supposed to be like that and stop acting like a dick. What a stupid argument!!.

[Deeperpurple1952]

That's all I asked in the first place..you started with the insults..so you expect to get them back.

[dklyde]

Gave me a headache!

[gymman1031]

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

[lippy170]

Why nt the UK?

[gymman1031]

I think they are coming to the UK! Check the Pollstar website.

[lippy170]

Cheers x

[gymman1031]

Are you going to get tickets?

[lippy170]

Defo if there over here in the UK. Hopefully there touring all over so i dont have to travel to london or something haha.

[lippy170]

I love this song, i love all of thiers. But ive always seemed to play 'The last time forever' & 'Pulling muscles from a shell' the most. Squeeze are fantastic and the main singer is very sexy and wot a sexy voice ;)

[Ella1464]

Lol, I remember how deliberately bad this video looked, and always thought there was something wrong with the picture, at the time. Great song, another fave of mine.

[hairyhunkcy]

Great song, weird video

[SkateFY]

Is this really the only version of this out there? Terrible quality. Thanks for posting anyway.

^^^ The actual video is like that. Meant to look liek that

[sexyonion]

Is this really the only version of this out there? Terrible quality.  Thanks for posting anyway.

[NickShavrr]

Great song. Great band. Seriously, who wrote better pop songs than Difford and Tilbrook? This one's a classic.

[Handpicked1993]

Its normal in the music business for tremendous music like this to be ignored by the US charts...yet bands like the Eagles (shudder) sell a trillion albums.

[robinkitty]

well, yes, but the ocassional bright american, like me :-), can find good music like this!:-)!

[MeSoSollyWan]

Pretty good, it's very different than Tempted.

[dlpine]

Good song that I wasn't familiar with.

[jeffhanson60]

Great song. Too bad it didn't do so well on the charts though, making UK#35.
