Does anyone remember the group Squeeze? They were best known for the song Tempted in the 80's and were destined to make a big name for themselves. But for some reason Tempted seemed to be Squeeze's only hit and was later redone in a 90's remix that was featured in the 1993 movie Reality Bites. Was singer Elvis Costello originally part of Squeeze too? Because I noticed that Elvis Costello sings background vocals in Tempted as well. Did Squeeze ever have other hits besides Tempted in the 80's?

Tempted is the only Squeeze song I like. But they did have another chart hit in the U.S. in the mid 80s with the song Hourglass, which is absolutely stupid and I hate it.
