this era was the end of Britain (as we thought we knew it.(oh how profound is thee)). It was Englandograd. British industry was ruined. The empire was long dead. Thatcher and co. were loading weapons and preparing for the massive counter-assault. Within a decade teenagers were going to raves, taking E, loving acid house, jungle, drum 'n bass and boys knew that being a DJ was very cool for cats and this kinda stuff was for grandparents. The very thing we thought was kind of neat - the street corner naff slice-o-life attitude of this song was transparent irrelevant to them. I thought this was cool but only understood a few lines of the last verse..disco, girl, wall, home, dog, bone, nasty rash, fail, reality is different from TV.

In my family we were talking about my nephews music taste and whats on offer for him in the current Top 10. I liked a lot of the music in it, I'm not going to trash it or condemn it, there was lots of good music in there, maybe I couldn't relate to it like him but I wasn't going to write it off. So we compared what was in the charts when we were his exact age. I had..Blondie, Gary Numan, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, some stuff from the Grease soundtrack, Bee Gees, Boomtown Rats, Cliff, The Stranglers, Kate Bush..the list went on and on. It was hard not to be a little bit smug. Maybe in 40 years time I'll be humbled by how many of his Top 10 went on to immortality. But I'll be 91 by then and probably won't care.

When it comes to perfectly crafted catchy songs with clever lyrics, Squeeze were pretty much in a league of their own. This is just fabulous.

Nice to see Jools plying his trade hammering that keyboard in the early days

Seems there are a lot of comments of people not understanding the song, or complaining about the bridge, or saying that it's just a plain bad song. I don't see what's wrong with it. I like it a lot. It's a quirky, new wave/post-punk song, and I think it's really fucking cool. Maybe I'm just weird, but that bridge is really explorative and I like the way the song just sort of falls apart and gets really spacey and airy. I guess not everyone is cool for cats.

I suppose it makes sense that people don’t get it, I mean most of the song is composed of (predominantly cockney) slang, and a good portion of it is also innuendos. I mean, I didn’t get a lot of the references until I was in my late teens, and I’m very familiar with slang originating from in and around London, as it’s where I’m from, and my mum filled in any gaps that I would have had from growing up abroad.

@@patrickhayes3099You're absolutely right. Older folks always say their generation's music was the best and hate the younger generation's music. That's just obviously true.

This band had some talent. Difford, Tilbrook, Jools Holland on keys, Gilson on drums, and later, Paul Carrack.

Absolutely one of the finest bands out of Britain. Ever.

There's so much I love about this track, but perhaps the best bit is that Chris Difford sings it in his own Sarf London accent.

I've watched this on several occasions with the children and they absolutely love this video. Why can't we make these brilliant tunes and fun videos anymore? Everything is marketed and talentless.

Backing singers up front and manic as they should be, and Jools Holland looking cool in shades and smoking a huge cigar. It's always a great video to watch.

I was in Willesden Green in 1984, half a world away from home, no money, and having a great time, and my love of Squeeze was a key thing that brought me to London. London became home, still is, but I'm now half a world away in Boston. Listening to Squeeze makes me cry now.

23 years in London , great fun x

So glad that nobody ever said "Girls, take it down a bit"

I saw this on the tv the other day and it transported me right back to that time. I played the album so much that the couple next door complained. I remember it so well dancing around my formica furniture in the bedroom. It makes me feel sad that those young women dancing around with the black leather jackets and red spandex on will be middle aged now - just like me! The confidence - the cocky swagger it all changes when you're older - then the next generation re-claim it! Thanks for the memories.

Good to hear some youngsters appreciate our music. Nice one sunshine.

The percussion is so basic and flat...... and works perfectly..... a true masterpiece of talent.... have always loved this song.

Chris Difford changed me forever with this song. Mind you this was my first cassette tape ever at the ripe old age of 7.

The masters of lyrical genius Difford and Tilbrook gave Squeeze the perfect pop formula to create some of the best pop songs ever classics that sound even better with time.

Friend just sent me this video. Between the dancing girls, the lyrics and the musicians energy I’m hooked😭😭😭😭

Looking forward to seeing them live for the first time next month!

We had some great music in the 70's and 80's here in Australia, but it was Britain that always had the best and set the trends at that time, imao. I still have my single of Cool for Cats, along with my entire vinyl collection...and my grandies can pry it from my cold, dead arms!! LOL.

I love the bridge and the choreography is a hoot! What a great tune. A smile on my face everytime I hear it, and better yet see them perform it. Thanks for sharing the video....Wonderful!!!

Happy 40th anniversary to one of the coolest songs ever.

I hope and pray my kids listen to these hits of the 70's and 80's when I pass on, I miss those years soooooooo much Eh!

If they grew up with you playing them in the house then I can guarantee they will find their way here. I haven't heard this song in 20 years since my dad took us on holiday in the car its just randomly popped into my head and I had to look it up and found I knew every word!

The backing singers/dancers genuinely seem to be having a lot of fun and are into it, great to see. I didn't even know you could overdose on Red Bull in 1979! :)
