MAY 1979 (33 YEARS AGO)Squeeze: “Cool For Cats” b/w “Model” (A&M 2146-S) 45 single is released in the US."Cool for Cats" was the second single released from Squeeze's Cool for Cats album. It featured a comparatively rare lead vocal performance from Squeeze lyricist Chris Difford, one of only two occasions he sang lead on a Squeeze single A-side (the other was 1989's "Love Circles"). The song, slightly edited from the album track, peaked at #2 on the UK Singles Chart, making it one of the band's biggest hits. Difford brought a cockney accent to the way the lyrics were sung which makes it distinctive as well. The title phrase is a reference to the 1950s/60s UK TV series Cool for Cats, the first British series to regularly feature rock 'n' roll music acts.

@ritchyfox Pity the girls couldn't be there! The version on their "Spot The Difference" album is surprisingly close to the original. Chris' vocal has got smoother in recent years but he almost managed to reproduce the roarness of his earlier recordings.

This version is class, the instrumental parts of this song are brilliant.

@paulsmartialarts Yes I recorded it but the BBC only played about a minute of it so it's not worth uploading.

Have you got 'Tempted' too? I think that was the other re-broadcast song they left off the DVD.

Crikey, I just watched this concert on beeb 4 about an hour ago, followed by Difford on Songwriters' Circle on the same channel. '82 was a great year to be at a Squeeze gig, all the East Side Story hits.. ah, great memories, thanks for the post.
