🎵 The WHO - Squeeze Box REACTION

[@mfournier8033]

Squeeze box is a musical instrument. Double meaning in this song, yes. Give A Quick One While He’s Away a listen. Everything the Who does is top notch music.

I always remember the scene from “Freaks and Geeks” where the daughter was playing this song for her parents. She acted all innocent, and her mum was buying it, but her dad was not fooled for a second. 😉

Such a good show! No wonder it lasted only one season.

Kind of a “reaction video” all on its own!

[@fawkthescene666]

And the mom does the exact same air accordion as the mom in this video 😆. I love all the home scenes with the Wiers. The mom and dad are a fukin riot!

[@jonathanmartin3767]

Mama knew what this song was about right away. Look at that face. She is reminiscing some days earlier in life.

[@DouglasHall1947]

Lex's Mother's an absolute delight! You can certainly see where Lex gets he sense of wonder and delight from.

[@donstand2195]

You got that right 1000 percent correct they are just alike when it comes to music

[@johnpressey5900]

The term squeezebox (also squeeze box, squeeze-box) is a colloquial expression referring to any musical instrument of the general class of hand-held bellows-driven free reed aerophones such as the accordion and the concertina. The term is so applied because such instruments are generally in the shape of a rectangular prism or box, and the bellows is operated by squeezing in and drawing out. There is a double meaning, of course!!!

[@bostonwhofan]

There's an episode of "That 70's Show" where the teens are heading to a concert by The Who that night. The mother asks what type of music does The Who play. So they started playing a tape of Squeeze Box. At first Mom thought it sounded like a nice pleasant song......until it got to the "in and out, and in and out, and in and out" part and then she got a horrified look on her face and shrieked "OH MY GOD!"🤣

[@colorfulcups]

Never saw that episode, but this clip of the same situation from a Freaks and Geeks episode is great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGq6mqmrrqqShrc&ab_channel=RumorsDaily

[@krectus]

You're thinking of Freaks and Geeks.

[@williamhill6447]

Totally a double entendre Brad-- you’re all right. Lex’s mom is so cute with her expressions during the song.

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

Even as a kid, I knew there were "naughty" implications in the lyrics to this tune. But... a squeeze box 🪗 is a musical instrument that's played at chest level, very similar to an accordion. Mama's always right, but I also think Brad has something there too. ✌️

[@dennismoore3383]

I was in elementary school in the 70's. I definitely enjoyed this song without understanding it until much later. LOL. For a similar double entendre song check out Little Willy by The Sweet. Us kids loved that one!

[@jethro1963]

Yes, this channel definitely needs more Sweet. Of all the songs I knew as a kid and didn't know who performed them (before Google) I would say The Sweet had the most. Little Willy, Poppa Joe, Fox on the Run, I knew them all for 50 years. Would love to hear them on this channel (they already did Ballroom Blitz)

[@saintsataniko2116]

Same! I also never ever realized this was The Who until now. Can't even remember the last time I heard this song, but I just remember that chorus being catchy and having no care nor clue what it meant.

[@StuartGray]

Big Balls by AC/DC is the shit at that.

[@sjw5797]

The most exuberantly happy song Pete Townshend ever wrote. Just a middle-aged couple enjoying the bliss of marital relations. Plus, Pete playing the banjo!

[@barence321]

I always liked "Going Mobile." So much fun!

[@freespirit61]

they could play it on the radio back then since it "could be" an accordion

[@brianforgie7724]

You could do The Who reactions for a week their catalogue is so varied. Great band back in the day. Lucky too see the original 4 and it was electrifying.LONG LIVE THE WHO

[@jefftucker9225]

"Squeeze Box" was originally intended for a Who television special planned in 1974. In the planned performance of the song, the members of the band were to be surrounded by 100 topless women playing accordions, So yeah it has a double meaning

[@gnipgnop-yn6ox]

A squeeze box is a small version of the accordion that was very popular back in the day. This song has a double meaning.

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Behind Blue Eyes" and "5:15"!!!

[@richarddefortuna2252]

A "squeeze box" is an accordian, but there's a definite double meaning to the term in this song. ;-)

[@Mr05Chuck]

Mama knew what a squeeze box was

[@richdiana3663]

Been listening to this song for years and never knew it was the Who. What!!!

[@ronaldmilner8932]

I bought this album in 77 or 78 and when my girlfriend saw the album, when I wasn't looking, she whipped out a pen and connected all the dots!! We have been married ever since!

[@firedoc5]

Love mama's reaction. She's really getting into it. The song is so catchy that it can get stuck in your head. Love to see people's reaction when they finally realize what it's actually about.

[@seangilbert19658]

"Squeezebox" is a slang term for accordions.

[@benjamineferko1657]

Love your Mom Lex. She's got a great attitude and sense of humor. Great reaction.

Mom passed a year ago and whenever I hear songs like this...all I can see is her dancing the night away

[@NoBSchannel313]

Squeezebox is (informal) accordion while accordion is a small, portable, keyed wind instrument, whose tones are generated by play of the wind from a squeezed bellows upon free metallic reeds.

[@timcampbell5758]

Always been one of my favourites Who songs. Glad you reached to it. Amazing how they could get songs like this around the on air censors at the time.

[@ronaldcrawford9310]

Hey Momma! Lex and Brad too. Love your show and I also love it when Momma is on with y'all. 2 thinkers and 1 that wants to move with the sounds....

[@OLD-MAN-GOLF-USA]

I have been waiting years for someone...anyone ...to react to this song! One of my old favorites! Back then there were censors for TV and Radio and you had to slip something like this between the lines or they weren't allowed to play it. Squeeze definitely a double entendre!!!

[@rwh2559]

Pete Townshend referred to this song as a "poorly aimed dirty joke"

[@AmandaBrecc]

Last comment prolly. AC/DC everybody goes over the edge with Angus, awesome energy, no one gives a thought to some serious energy unseen in his brother and massive creator of the music. The rhythm guitar in the back. As much energy flowing but never noticed. He is zoned out while in his energy level. Hope he is enjoying the WALK ON. There's a channel "Haksul" And check out some Malcolm Young isolated, like "Jailbreak" Malcolm plays clean, an guitar, a patchcord and an amp. He is my hero. WHen a guy asked me to learn guitar so I could play rhythm this is the guy. I don't play lead, much. I think Malcolm was the madness or inspiration to many lyrics.

[@dbtrek]

Brad's "Naaaaaaaaah" has me dyin' 🤣🤣🤣

[@onetruthmediacompany]

I love it when Momma is on the channel, God bless her.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Hilarious reaction. And yeah it's totally a double entendre. An accordion is the big heavy squeeze instrument with keys and buttons whereas a Squeezebox is just very simple and you play it out in front of you and you push in and you pull out. It sounds almost like a richer deeper harmonica.

[@ernestlopez6445]

Love your mommas laugh 😂 Listen to Momma. I’m 62 and remember this in high school. We of course thought of a woman’s chest too!! Love your reactions!!

[@sporkfindus4777]

I always think of Who By Numbers as being the most rounded Who album. Like it hasn't got many gems like on Who's Next and Who Are You, but it's consistently good throughout. Also, it's got electric and acoustic guitar pretty much throughout so it has a wholesome feel much like The Beatles' Help! I'm an electric guitar bloke, but I do appreciate this sound.

[@csedrivers2850]

I can't believe Brad was the first one to get it. 🤣

[@BlackHatCinephile]

Oh, that's who did that! I know The Who. I know that song. I didn't know The Who did that song. Cool.

When I was in my teens listening to this song, with my friends, we had no doubt as to what it alludes to. It's pretty obvious.

[@Peejay1966]

The Who having fun, and still sounding amazing. Try Slip Kid from the same album. The album cover, by the way, was drawn by bassist John Entwistle.

[@thorfinsky1427]

What a song to introduce to your mother! 🤣

[@JMD1965]

Both of Pete Townshend's (Guitarist for the Who) were professional musicians... This was (initially) a song written by him about his childhood recollections of their neighborhood block parties in Acton, West London, as they were some of his happiest in an otherwise very volatile home life.... But he does admit as composing continued, it did turn into a double entendre', toss-away song he never thought would be a hit. He also claims it was among his mother's favorite Who tunes and that she DID get the joke and loved it!!

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..Your Mom saying."He ain't getting no rest" under her breath was 2 cute!!.Ok..MY HUSBAND ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS SONG..😁

Yes, squeeze box is slang for an accordian. The song is also one long double entendre just for fun. It's has such an happy upbeat sound.

Squeezebox is an accordion or one of those things a Gypsy used to have it is a musical instrament and the dad cant sleep because mom is playing it all night long, It has an inuendo but it is about an accodion, the musics alright and the neighborhood is hearing all night , dog cant sleep . Its a cute song I remember as a kid I was trying to figure this out, I knew it was a instrument but could tell adults where smiling about something else

[@mil2k11]

Mannnnnn, look at that cover. That was back when covers and sleeves could be messed with. I remember the water color sleeve you could paint on Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door album. The spinners on their 3rd album. Alice Cooper had one with "School's Out" which turned into a school desk. Albums were great back in the day. Artwork was a thing - check out some Yes & Molly Hatchet covers. It's a lost art - pun not intended.

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

I Love it when Mama Lex is in on it. My grandfather played the accordion. But it has keys on one side. Concertina, I think is a "squeeze box ". 🪗 Yeah. But, I think they were talking about girls. They call them "Juice boxes " now.

[@thomasp.3796]

A squeeze box is a slang term for a "concertina", one of those accordions you see in back woods hillbilly music that does not have piano keys on it like normal accordions, it just has some buttons that you press as you squeeze together and pull apart the ends of the concertina.
