"Annie Get Your Gun" is a single released by Squeeze in 1982. It was not featured on any studio album, but has been included on a number of compilations, including Singles – 45's and Under. "Annie Get Your Gun" (which borrows its title from a popular musical) was the last single released by the band before they broke up, though they reunited in 1985.

Background

After the failure of the band's previous album, Sweets from a Stranger, Squeeze's record company, A&M, asked them to make a new single.[1] Glenn Tilbrook already had put together two songs, "Action Speaks Faster" and "Annie Get Your Gun".[1] He then asked the rest of the band to pick the one to be recorded, resulting in "Annie Get Your Gun" being unanimously chosen.[1] The band was then sent to producer Alan Tarney, for whom Tilbrook played the song.[1] When the band was brought back by Tarney they found the producer had already completed the backing track to the song, only needing Tilbrook and Chris Difford's vocals.[1]

Glenn Tilbrook reflected on the song's recording, "It was like we were in The Monkees. Alan did a very good job, but it was devastating for us because we could all play so well, although I didn't mind as much as the others because I was singing the lead vocal."[1] Drummer Gilson Lavis, however, was insistent that he record a drum track.[1]

The song reached number 43 in the UK Singles Chart,[2] but the song later gained fame as part of Squeeze's live set.[1] The group performed "Annie Get Your Gun" on Saturday Night Live on 20 November 1982.[3]

Difford said that he did not know what the song was about and was "not sure [he] care[s] about it very much either". He concluded, "It's not a great song, but a good vocal performance".[4] The Los Angeles Times described the song as being "about the boisterous pleasures of rocking out".[5] Cash Box said that "it’s the devil-may-care rhyme schemes of masters Difford and Tilbrook that make this song.[6]
