I couldn't find the old thread that explained the origins of many CT song titles. Can anyone help me with that? Merge me, if you can be bothered, thanks!

I couldn't remember if Squeeze-Wax showed up in that thread. If the following is old news, I'll quietly damn my memory and delete this post.

Anyway, here is the dictionary definition, according to one slang dictionary, dated 1811:

Squeeze-Wax defined (http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Grose-VulgarTongue/s/squeeze-wax.html).

fascinating....

a discussion of their choice for song titles alone could certainly fill volumes.

would it be wrong to suggest that since Elizabeth commanded the bulk of their song lyrics, she likely also had final say on the titles?

oh, if only i could sit that gal down a while for a good talk......i mean, VOLUMES!
