1st song I ever got in trouble for listening to. I was 15. Still trying to convince my 81 yr old mama that its a song about an accordion 😂😂😂😂

Squeeze box. Mine and my late husbands song. R.I.P. Terry Alan Farmer. I'll always be your squeeze box. 5 years gone. What a sad life it is without you my love.😘😘🥰🥰

One of, and most people don’t realize it, best love songs ever. Nuff said!

I used to dance with my colicky son to this song. It was on a cassette tape, so had to rewind it several times and replay it over and over. When I would stop he would fuss until I played it again and again.

Crazy or not, this has always been one of my favorite songs.

My Mama used to sing this song when I was little. I had no idea it was The Who. She always was cool like that.

Townshend's playing is so effortless. Just looks so natural

Best live version of this song 🎸

.......stunning video, of a stunning show...I especially liked the 9.4 second break by Peter....../s

Love how at 1:48, Townsend puts his pick between his lips to finger pick the banjo part, then at 2:00 grabs it to use for the rest of his guitar solo.

I recorded this on cassette when it was on the radio, still sounds good...

I know this is a silly song compared to most of The Who's songs, but it's always been my fave. They're so legendary, they certainly have the right to be silly. Bet THIS 1 never gets used as a "CSI" opening theme, though!

Awesome 71 still love this tune

That was an impressive guitar solo by Pete!

muy buen rola me gusto mucho su cancion eminence front alla x 1983 estaba en la secundaria me toco una epoca chida con estos cuates nunca la voy a olvidar

The Who are playing all night! And their music's all right!

Pete could really play banjo after all. This is in my opinion his best recorded solo.

this is one of the best rock songs ever!!

What a great song. I saw you guys back in your young days. Great entertainers

Heard this on SiriusXM 70s on 7 yesterday. 1st time for what seemed like a lifetime

This my favorite song by The Who.

Mama's got a squeeze box She wears on her chest And when daddy comes home He never gets no rest 'Cause she's playing all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night Well the kids don't eat And the dog can't sleep There's no escape from the music In the whole damn street 'Cause she's playing all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes in and out and in And out and in and out and in and out She's playing all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me Come on and tease me like you do I'm so in love with you Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes in and out and in and out And in and out and in and out 'Cause she's playing all night And the music's all right Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night

Awesome song from a great band!

I believe this is the show from Toronto, right? In any case, this was a major deal here in Canada as the final show of their "farewell" tour was at the legendary Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. I remember recording it on VHS from a live television broadcast. Man, I wore that tape right out! Love the new waver fashions and haircuts that Pete and Roger are sporting too.

my 96 year old grandmother is dancing to this Either good song or her meds

Guess my mind is in the gutter. I knew the first time when I heard the song, what they were referring!!! And yes, I knew it also was referring to an accordion, but with their play of words you knew which "box" they werent referring.

The Tune says it all and makes it feel good too...

Great memories with this song. 🥳.

I'm trying to play it sitting down, and Kieth is jumping up and down! What a master!

That was great, remember when 💯

Mental picture of a woman who has taken up the accordion and who plays it loudly and constantly. It makes her happy, so much so that they haven't the heart to ask her to stop.

i love the who and whatever the song means its awsome!

This song is crazy great

Pete's solo is awesome! what a musician!

Always loved this

One of favourite who songs

Brilliant. But I always think that Pete misses Keith being there.

You 're Absolutley Right. ❤ Perfect Song

I think they're talking about an accordion

I was 15 years old too when I got in trouble with this song

I agree with you Sharp 1972 however its a Schecter Telecaster also made in California. Tom Keckler was their top luthier and he now lives and works in Memphis.

The Who are one of the greatest songs ever

I love this song!

Love this song!

Very cool lead!

my most favourite Who song ever.

Brilliant band.

love this song

First time i heard this song was my first time in a strip bar.. i was 17 lol. Great song Great memories

Great song!!

I love this song!!!

I’m 63 & still listening 🎧

I starting to think this song isn't about a Squeeze Box. 😜

Grande los Who!!

When I was little, I thought this was a song about a woman with a torture devise that she put her husband in at night.

CLASSIC ! Townsend never sounded better. jen

This is just a great song.

Funny song. Love it!

Ms Crow, this is how it's suppose to be sung

THIS WAS AWESOME - THANKS LUCY FOR POST Ô¿Ô

awesome song just learned how to play it at guitar lessons man pete is the best on guitar would love to have that shector

Where did 50 year's Go ❤🎉

I think this song is supposed to be written from a child's point of view, and this is how the parents explained it to the kid.. lol "in and out and in and outtt" classic line

fuck yeah! I watched this video at least 50 times on VHS, drove my girl crazy....

i have always thought they looked similar!! but this REALLY shows it!! :-p

Very cool lead.

@imdoubtful "The drummer playing in this video is beneath jones and moon" Um...the drummer in this video IS Jones.

Pete Townsend what a music man

Anyone know what year this performance is from?

When I watch this now I realize they were one empty shell of what the original Who was. Kinda' sad

Poor daddy, maybe he sleeps at work. LOL

Dang Kenney's arms tho

oh yeah, just saw them again on the Quadrophenia tour in Manchester last July....absolutely fucking brilliant! As for this gig...I watched it simulcast on tv/radio way back wnen....too bad they've never released a FULL DVD concert vic - the VHS one cuts a bunch of great songs out...x

I've searched but I have not found any video of Pete Townshend playing the banjo on this song. I've seen other videos of Pete on the banjo but not with this tune. I wonder why?

This must be around the time Roger Daltrey would fight with the wind.

Great Clip! Thanks for posting!!

they could make a gem out of three simple chords

beautiffull solo at 1.50. Nice song.

Gracias por compartir

they made that song look so simple

Best who song ever .😎

Awesome.Lol what if Mama had a chainsaw and daddy never slept all night

The theme song to "Stiffs". 😀

She goes in & out in & out...Fucking class..So c'mon Squeeze me like you do...

My fave WHO song

Fantastic song

Let's get this straight. A Squeeze Box is an acordian. So, it's about an acordian.

Toronto 1982 is it?

brilliant from the guys

Sometimes, fret marking dots are on the SIDE of the neck not on the fretboard.

I like that song Mama's Got A Squeeze Box daddy never sleeps at night😅

This is how I like to dance around the house.

Wow what get Tune remembered it well

Negrea christian : Pete asks, " Do you wanna hear some more about it?" I always chuckle :)

Hey I am Loria I love to dance to this song I love it in2022

For years I thought he was singing about a women's mammary glands ! Just goes to show how gullible we can all be ! Now I'm reassured that the who ( whoever they the " who " is ) tell us it's about an accordion !

@imdoubtful So if your first comment said Kenney (not (kenny) Jones is the drummer, why would you then say "The drummer playing in this video is beneath jones..." Jones IS the drummer in this video.

LIVE PRETTY SONG

THE WHO IS GREAT EVERY TIME!! TOWNSHEND'S GONNA TRASH THE STAGE AGAIN!, the dj

Just is NOT the same without Keith Moon. None of their songs. Moon made it signature and owned it.
