If it was the Teardrop Explodes, surely they redeemed themselves with the best
album title ever, "Everybody Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes."

The Squeeze (or the UK squeeze depending where you're from) were not SKA.
They wrote some great songs of a school best described as Kitchen sink
dramas.

Fuckin' good stuff mind,I love 'em.

I haven't heard it in several years, but if I recall correctly, it's just on
the off beat; it's not ska.
