This week’s One-Hit Wonder is ‘Cool for Cats’ by UK band Squeeze {UK Squeeze in Australia}. The song features a rare lead vocal performance from cockney-accented Squeeze lyricist Chris Difford, one of only three occasions he sang lead on a Squeeze single A-side. A #4 hit in 1979 the title phrase is a reference to the 1950s/60s UK TV series Cool for Cats, the first English series to regularly feature rock ‘n’ roll music acts.
