In anticipation of tonight's BBC4 programme on Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, here they are in 1980 with one of my favourites:
No, it's not a great video. I don't think Squeeze were ever really that kind of band. For a much better inside-a-pub video from around that time, you can't beat the Flying Pickets - but those lads were actors, whereas for Squeeze it was only ever about the music.
Here's a great live version of Labelled with Love. And Tempted. The Lennon-McCartney comparison isn't far-fetched: they really did write great songs.
And, despite numerous personnel changes and the occasional hiatus, they're still going strong.
