The three girls in the back get more and more bored as the song goes on
Ah yes… the Squeeze song that got them pigeon-holed as a laddish Cockney act. I love it, but it sounds very little like the vast majority of their catalogue (which is closer to mid-period Split Enz or early Crowded House).
Tempted is more representative, but still atypical given it has Paul Carrack - who was only a Squeeze member for five minutes - on vocals.
No Milk Today by Herman’s Hermits.
Writtten by Graham Gouldman of 10cc fame. Amazing how many hits this guy wrote for others before finding fame.
That’s a song of despair told in terms of domestic details, and very effectively.
“And I would sell my soul for total control…over you”
Now that’s songwriting.
It happened one summer, it happened one time
It happened forever, for a short time
A place for a moment, an end to dream
Forever I loved you, forever it seemed…
I did a version of this for a regional radio station based on a regular occurance at a local fast food outlet… it was called ‘Take the S Out of Rooster and it’s… ruuuuude’.
you are a lady of many talents Koala…
I had to search a little for this. It’s bad but I loved it at the time. Much like I did Steve Urkel and his show (Family Matters) and Golden Girls.
