Throwback Thursday: The Who – Squeeze Box
The Who – Squeeze Box
Album: The Who By Numbers
Released: 1975
“Squeeze Box” is a slang term for an accordion, as well as a lady’s private part.. so the band came up with the song to see if they could get away with singing about the joys of explicit sex. Roger Daltrey says in an interview: “What’s great about ‘Squeeze Box’ is that it’s so refreshingly simple, an incredible catchy song. A good jolly. I’ve never had a problem with that song because it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is and I love it for that. Live audiences love it. Nothing wrong with a bit of ‘in-and-out’, mate!”
