I played a fun set backing a pretty young lady last night. We did squeezebox. Somehow, this song flew beneath my radar--new one on me. The Who?! Where did that come from?
It's a fun song. I felt odd tingly stirring feelings that I couldn't identify as I watched this young lady sing the song. It's about an accordian, right?
(And jellyroll is about baked breakfast goods?)

Reminds me of how my bass player's 3 year old daughter used to sing:
"I'll put a nickel in the juice-box
And play that Truck Drivin' Man!" |

"Mama's got a squeezebox"
Maybe she's part of this group,
Main Squeeze Accordion Orchestra
18 Accordions played by girls with pigtails.[This message was edited by Alvin Blaine on 17 April 2005 at 07:57 PM.] |

I played it for years in a biker band called Torque. Always went over well.
Yeah a fun song, I wonder where Pete's head was that week he wrote it, lol.

| I could speculate on exactly where Pete's head was at, David, but I'd get banned from the forum. |

"Squeeze Box" was probably written to provide karma balance over the lyrics to "My Wife". "Gonna buy a fast car put on my lead boots and take a long, long drive...",
"Gonna find a tank and an aeroplane, 'cause when she catches up with me won't be no time to explain..." |
