Bizarrely, I'm hearing Black Uhuru in the rhythm section to that one. 

 

I was wondering how I'd never heard it before, despite being massively into music back then. Checked when it was released and charted (Aug/Sept 87). I'd have been on 3 months unpaid leave from my "serious" job (which I quit 2 years  later), sleeping on trains on an Inter-Rail trip around Europe and then working in the Beaujolais grape harvest, which explains how I missed it.....all part of how strangely random life can sometimes be.

I heard it a few months ago for the first time in years on one of those 80's random internet stations while walking the dog.

This song gets a massive amount of flak. Consistently called one of the worst of the 80s, or even worst of all time. 

 

Absolute nonsense. It's a banger.

So simple ,

So brilliant

How comes I am only just starting to appreciate the back catalogue of Squeeze?

 

Always kinda considered them a workmanlike but likeable outfit. But I'm learning their stuff is marvellously crafted. And ageless. How hard is that to consistently write songs that don't age. 

 

My fave, funnily enough one of the few without Glenn Tilbrook on lead vocals
