Momma's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night

[ZenLefty]

So, ZenLeftyGirl and I were talking about this song by the Who. For the longest time, she had no idea what that line meant. "What's a squeeze box" she asked me? I can't believe she never knew. I mean, the song's lyrics make it very clear.

She goes in
and out
and in
and out

Cause she's playing all night,
And the music's all right.
Momma's got a squeeze box,
Daddy never sleeps at night.

It was very embarrasing. I had to actually tell her they were talking about an accordian. :o

1. no no no no

EVERYONE knows its a song about those 'Laugh Box' toys from the 70' and 80's. you remember they came in a bag and when you Squeezed them, they would make this hysterical laughing noise?

*sheesh* :D

[ZenLefty]

3. But she couldn't play that all night

And the music wouldn't be allright.

Believe me, if my honey were squeezing an accorian all night I wouldn't sleep either. x(

Hey, did you run into my boss in Mexico? He left the same day you did. Big guy, bald, republican, doesn't do to well in the sun.. More importantly, did you run over my boss in Mexico.

2. I always thought they meant a concertina, but same difference.

[ZenLefty]

7. I guess it could be

But accordian players are said to be more passionate about their music, playing well into the night.

10. You'd have to talk to XNASA about that.

;-)

12. Oh yes. I'm often up very late.......

...playing with my accordian.

My right hand on the keys and my left hand on the button.

[ZenLefty]

13. Interesting technique

Does it make better music that way? I hear that people who are very good at it can play accordian all night long.

14. I AM an accordian player...

... and have to admit that is true! :evilgrin:

16. Mama's got a squeezebox that she wears on her chest

And when daddy comes home he never gets no rest

You don't wear a concertina on your chest, but you do wear an accordion.

[XNASA]

4. Well, yes and no.

It well could be an accordian. Then again......

It's quite obvious for sure. Of course there's always the middle 8 which goes:

She says, "Squeeze me, C'mon and squeeze me,
C'mon and tease me like you do, I'm so in love with you."
Mama's got a squeeze box - Daddy never sleeps at night.

6. You mean there are ess-eee-ecks-ual overtones??

My ears!!!!!! :o

[XNASA]

8. It's not for me to judge.

I'm an old accordian player from way back, myself. Started when I was 8.

[ZenLefty]

9. She just really likes her accordian

It beckons to her when the moon is full. Squeeze me, c'mon and squeeze me... It calls to her and wants her to play polka.

5. Entendre, please. Make mine a double!

:)

[ZenLefty]

11. Oh, you're talking about the Concertina

I guess it could be that too. Nudge nudge nod nod wink wink say no more.
