"Squeeze Box" is a song by the British rock band the Who from their album The Who by Numbers. Written by Pete Townshend, the lyrics are couched in sexual double entendres. Unlike many of the band's other hits, the song features country-like elements, as heard in Townshend's banjo picking.
"Squeeze Box" was a commercial success, peaking at No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart. The song is also their only international number-one hit, reaching No. 1 in Canada, and No. 2 on the Irish singles chart.
"Squeeze Box" was originally intended for a Who television special planned in 1974. In the planned performance of the song, the members of the band were to be surrounded by 100 topless women playing accordions.
