This week’s edition of Retro Friday (I mean, Music Monday) features the band Squeeze, and the song Pulling Mussels From the Shell.
Squeeze is a New Wave band out of Britain that emerged during the 1970’s, and continued recording successfully into the 1980’s and 1990’s. I don’t know what it is about Squeeze music that makes me feel so happy-go-lucky, but ever since I can remember, when ever I hear a Squeeze song on the radio, it just brings a ray of sunshine into my day.
My two favorite Squeeze songs are as follows …
Pulling Mussels From the Shell
Something about this song just makes me want to burst out in song and dance around the room. Weird, I know, but it is what it is!
And my second favorite Squeeze song is …
Tempted
Such a great little song. Probably Squeeze’s best known song. It was originally recorded in 1981, but then was re-recorded in 1993 for the “Reality Bites” soundtrack (great film, too!) … Tempted ’94.
So as I head off on yet another road trip … here is some Squeeze for your listening pleasure!
Pulling Mussels From the Shell
Cheers!
