2000 Great Songs #1326: Does Stephanie Know?
Squire were an 80s UK skinny-tie power pop band, chiming Rickenbacker guitars and a healthy dose of mod revivalism. 1980 single "Does Stephanie Know?" is sweet, sweet bubblegum, not built to create an impression that lasts long beyond the final chord but plenty of fun during its 3-minute duration. Kinda feels like The Jam might've sounded had punk never come along. Bonus points for sporting some Kirsty MacColl backing vocals.
