Question for the Who - WTF is Squeezebox? We sang this a lot on the school bus and I think we felt we were singing something vaguely dirty. Thirty years later I’m not sure what’s going on. Anyone?

Because to be honest here, I’m thinking mama is nothing more than an accordian player with a sleeping disorder:

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

On the other hand, there is no doubt what’s going on in Disco Lady:

Shake it up,
Shake it down;
move it in move it round,
disco lady
move it in move it out
move in and about disco lady.

Yep, she’s making jiffy pop popcorn.
