Is That Love?

 

You've left my ring by the soap,
Now is that love?
You cleaned me out you could say broke,
Now is that love?
The better better better it gets
The more these girls forget
That that is love. 

Is That Love?, one of many melodic tunes from Squeeze.  The only time I saw the band in concert the show was marred by terrible acoustics.

Squeeze

THC's been feeling in an early 80s melodic pop mood today and who better to fill that need than  Squeeze?  Best known for their only US hit, Tempted, (co-written with Elvis Costello) they produced a slew of bright, snappy songs strewn with witty lyrics.  Here they are doing Pulling Mussels From A Shell:

For a couple of other examples listen to In Quintessence and Is That Love?
