About this song
The Who wanted to see whether they could get away with a song about explicit sex, and it seemed to work. A later comment compares the song to the band's more defiant earlier work.
What it's about
The song is an extended double entendre that compares an accordion, called a squeeze box, with squeezing a woman's body parts in bed.
