Squeeze - Goodbye Girl - Live on TV circa 1981

[@hapijen4828]

🎵🎶🎸'Sunlight on the lino' - one of my all time favourite classic lines. Excellent songwriting & an evergreen classic song.

[@joanmsmith5561]

The lyrics are pure genius, and the music is also. Sublime.

[@modenaro1776]

Miss music when I was 20, like this.

[@spacey118]

This song makes me feel cool knowing it

[@chrishall62]

I remember this track playing on the record player in the 6th form common room at school 1979/80. Brilliantly underrated song

[@stevemisog]

I love Chris Difford's gruff vocal harmonies, just one of the factors that make Squeeze so distinctive. That and his amazing lyrics. This is my favourite Squeeze track.

[@peterwhent66]

Trivia fact: It's not a harmony. Chris Difford sings exactly the same note as Glenn just one octave lower. It's their sound. Quite unique and quite brilliant.

[@reallist8050]

@@peterwhent66I love that fact bc I love their vocals together

[@peterfriedman2830]

One the best melodic hooks of all time. Pure genius.

[@mistag3860]

Its the Muppets tune...listen! its nicked lol, deep from childhood...clever yes, musical genius? you decide.

[@simonpage9201]

They are absolutely amazing live

[@stephentimoney6951]

Saw them in Dublin last week, incredible show! They still sound phenomenal!

[@hamishmctavish7329]

I love the raw quality, brilliant band and singer

[@jillwiggett1702]

Saw Squeeze the other night at the corn exchange in Cambridge. They were brilliant! Great talent and lovely guys.

[@simonpalling3215]

That is so chill. So much good Squeeze stuff that has gone unremembered. Well....NO MORE!

[@alyssakeezer8681]

God he was such a cutie ❤

[@crazycat6132]

This is the best version, with the “plinky, plonky” bits😁

[@iirachelmadness8677]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE THIS SONG GO SQUEEZE GO SQUEEZE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@glenpendlebury77]

Just love them.

[@slapiro]

Back in the 80s I was totally into the Beatles. But these guys are next. If I had followed squeeze more I would have been completely crushing on them. Excellent songwriters and adorable.

[@thayc3262]

Genius

[@jasons8499]

Marty my good man, that is not a lip sync job. It sounds nothing like the studio album cut. Squeeze pulls off a clean live show - seen em several times.

[@matthewstetson1840]

Heh. It's obviously lip syncing which isn't the end of the world.

[@jasons8499]

Believe what you want.

[@aircomp]

​@@matthewstetson1840 Nope. Not lip synched. He sings "bar room" instead of "pool room" in the first line. Also he's just a touch flat towards the middle of the song. In his 60s Glenn still sings this nearly flawlessly.

The cabasa hanging from the stand 😅

[@paulmacca]

This is the Album version - my wife has moved to Guernsey - not Jersey (or Boston)

[@krisscanlon4051]

I demand this is played at my funeral wake cremation funeral pyre and or gentle dumping...sunlight on the lino woke me with a shake...some luck...my life story

[@williane5122]

glenn and chris look so good. thats it thats the comment

That's songwriting man...

Glenn Tilbrook, I'm in love with you xx

Who isn't?!

Me

[@davanmani556]

Do you think Ed Sheridan was influenced by him?

[@Thylacine64]

I think Gilson is such a sexy drummer

[@stephanienewbern769]

Me as well!

[@BaronKimball]

Nice.

Fantastic?

Are you confusing the line "The room was almost spinning"? if you are I hope this helps.

Who is on keyboards?

[@bumpkin4316]

Don Snow. He is also known as Jonn Savannah.

[@popegeorgeringo]

Lip synced......I came here to see a live performance as advertised. Not so.

[@philliesbabe0503]

Marty Ross ...seen them more times than I can count....this is not lip synced. Definitely not like the studio version

[@GoSolar]

@@philliesbabe0503 idk...that fade out at the end certainly doesn't sound live...

[@anthonycrawford9873]

What a shame. Guess you'll have to get off your fat arse and pay money for a concert ticket

[@popegeorgeringo]

@@philliesbabe0503 There is a backing track ... that’s obvious. The vocals are live. I’ll brt you a 1000 bucks. I know the percussion instruments never sound like that outside a studio.. look again.
