Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Pass the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill. Billboards and the buildings, memories of it keep on calling and calling. But forget it all I know I will.' Which Squeeze record will you hear these lyrics in?

Answer: Tempted

'Tempted' was released in 1981 and reached 41 in the UK charts.

The song is sung by Paul Carrack, the keyboard player, and written by Difford and Tilbrook. The song has been used in many advertisements including Burger King and Heineken.
2. 'The lights they flick and flutter he told her how he loved her. Next night he called for her but dad protected daughter. And told him she was poorly a lie was told there surely.' What a great rhythm, but what is the song title?

Answer: Slap And Tickle

'Slap And Tickle' reached 24 in the UK charts in 1979.
'Slap And Tickle' is a euphemism for sexual activity in the UK ... and some of the lyrics, well I am surprised they got away with it in the 80s.
3. 'Amusing ballet dancers distract me from my wine. Across Tibetan mountains are memories of mine. I've stood some ghostly moments with natives in the hills. Recorded here on paper my chills and thrills and spills.' Just name the song to gain some points.

Answer: Take Me I'm Yours

A chart entry of 19 in the singles chart in 1978 for 'Take Me I'm Yours'. All of Squeeze's records were written by band members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrock. Chris wrote the lyrics and Glenn composed the music.
4. 'They get a gang of villains at the shed up at Heathrow. They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again. In and out of Wandsworth with their numbers on their names.' One of their best known tracks, can you name it?

Answer: Cool For Cats

'Cool for Cats' was released in 1979 and was one of two songs that gave the band their highest chart position of two in the UK.
Difford and Tilbrook have been given lots of credit for their writing skills and have even been compared to Lennon and McCartney.
5. 'Alone here in the kitchen I feel there's something missing. I'd beg for some forgiveness, but begging is not my business. And she won't write a letter though I always tell her.' One of my favourites, what is it called?

Answer: Up The Junction

Reaching two in 1979, 'Up The Junction' was the other single to give Squeeze their best chart entry.
The band got their name from an album by Velvet Underground called "Squeeze"; prior to that they were called Captain Trundlow's Sky Company. I wonder where they got their previous name from .. if you know then please let me know.
6. 'He became drinker and she became mother. She knew that one day she'd be one or the other. He ate himself older, drank himself dizzy. Proud of her features she kept herself pretty.' Another set of Squeeze lyrics, what is the title?

Answer: Labelled With Love

'Labelled With Love' was a number four chart entry for the band in 1981 and was in fact the last of their singles to be in the top ten. The B side was called 'Squabs On Forty Fab' and was a disco medley of some of their hit records.
7. 'You wish you had a motorboat to pose around the harbour bar. And when the sun goes off to bed you hook it up behind the car. Look behind the chalet, my holidays complete.' Which Squeeze record contains these lyrics?

Answer: Pulling Mussels From A Shell

'Pulling Mussels From A Shell' got to 44 in the UK charts in 1980. The song was written by Difford about his memories of having a holiday in a seaside holiday camp. The video shows scenes of people on the beach, in the amusements, having candyfloss etc.
8. 'Oh now she's gone and I'm back on the beat. A stain on my notebook means nothing to me. Oh now she's gone and I'm out with a friend. With lips full of passion and coffee in bed.' OK, you know what to do; name the song.

Answer: Black Coffee In Bed

'Black Coffee In Bed' reached only position 51 in the UK charts. Paul Young and Elvis Costello provided backing vocals for this track.
The video tells the tale of a couple getting married, settling down with a child - and then he cheats on her and she leaves him. Not a happy ending.
9. 'I had some excuses some little boy lies, that she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly. She couldn't stand it I'm out of her heart. She dropped her make-up and I found the bar. Now it concerns me.' You must be tapping your feet, so name the song.

Answer: Another Nail In My Heart

'Another Nail In My Heart' reached 17 in the UK singles chart. The song is about splitting up with a partner and drinking heavily to forget.
10. '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.' Last but not least, name the song.

Answer: Is That Love

'Is That Love' got to 35 in the UK charts in 1981. When I watched the video to this track it reminded of The Buggles with the big glasses.
