Loading the Jukebox – 3. Up the Junction– (Squeeze)

The late seventies, early eighties was a golden time for music and Squeeze were one of those bands I had to love. Band members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook wrote all of Squeeze’s hits, with the former penning the lyrics and the latter handling the composition. The duo were hailed as "the heirs to Lennon and McCartney's throne. Up The Junction, introduce many listeners’ to the witty kitchen-sink lyricism and new wave guitar music that has become the band’s trademark.

This was the third single released off their second album the fantastic Cool for Cats. It is one of the band's most popular and well-remembered songs (especially in the UK), and reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
