At dinner the other night my friend asked me if I knew how to play any songs by Squeeze... "Not yet" I said. So that brings us to this, a quick history lesson about this cool band that I nearly forgot (but I didn't). And a few songs of various difficulty (the original and a lesson). So check them out and let me know which songs you remember and which songs you want to learn how to play.
WIKIPEDIA says this about Squeeze:
Squeeze are an English rock band that came to prominence in the United Kingdom during the new wave period of the late 1970s, and continued recording in the 1980s, 1990s and 2010s. In the UK, their singles "Cool for Cats", "Up the Junction", and "Labelled with Love" were top-ten chart hits. Though not as commercially successful in the United States, Squeeze had American hits with "Tempted", "Pulling Mussels", and "Hourglass", and were considered a part of the Second British Invasion.
