- Black Coffee in Bed. Off 1982’s Sweets from a Stranger, “Black Coffee in Bed” makes the top of our list because it epitomizes everything great about Squeeze and their music.
- Tempted. Here’s another Squeeze anomaly: “Tempted,” one of their best-known songs, features legendary British singer-songwriter Paul Carrack on lead vocals.

And even if you’re not sure if you remember a Squeeze tune named “Hourglass,” you’ll surely remember its catchy chorus: a monotone repetition of, “Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard, see if it can swim, back up to the shore.”
- Pulling Mussels (from the Shell) You know you’ve got a band of great musicians when you have room for a guitar solo and a piano solo in one of your most well-regarded singles.
