"Tempted" is a song by the British rock band #Squeeze. Written by the Squeeze songwriting team of #GlennTilbrook and #ChrisDifford, the song features lyrics inspired by Difford's experiences on an American tour and an arrangement inspired by #theTemptations. "Tempted" is one of a few Squeeze songs with #PaulCarrack as lead vocalist, at the suggestion of producer #ElvisCostello. "Tempted" was released as the second #single from their fourth album, #EastSideStory.

My Top 1000 Songs #142: Tempted. Squeeze deliver a Motown-inflected slice of blue-eyed soul without betraying their innate pop sense; that this song wasn't on everyone's lips back in high school is a pointed indictment of American radio. #music #Squeeze #PaulCarrack #NewWave #powerpop https://www.jitterywhiteguymusic.com/2022/12/my-top-1000-songs-142-tempted.html
