    Babylon and On is the seventh album released in 1987 by the British new wave group Squeeze.

    History

    Eric "ET" Thorngren produced the album, along with Glenn Tilbrook. The group officially expanded to a sextet with the addition of former Soft Boys member Andy Metcalfe; a bassist in that group, here Metcalfe was used as a second keyboard player (behind Jools Holland). However, despite being pictured and billed as a full member of the band, the track-by-track musician listings included with this album reveal that Metcalfe only played on three songs: "Tough Love", "The Prisoner" and "Some Americans". Metcalfe left Squeeze before their next album was recorded, although he worked again with Glenn Tilbrook during his solo years. The album peaked at number 14 in the UK Albums Chart, the highest ranking there for a Squeeze album, aside from greatest hits compilations, until Cradle to the Grave (2015) reached number 12.

    The album was released in September 1987 and gave them their biggest US hit single, "Hourglass." The song became an unexpected US hit for the band, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, which Chris Difford attributed to the video for the song as much as the song itself: "I would think that the video has had a lot to do with it. It’s been played a lot, and everybody you speak to compliments you on it. When you meet fans after gigs, they say, “Your video’s great.” They don’t say, “Your album’s great.” So it’s the first thing they think of."

    The Waiting Game (game show)

    The Waiting Game was a Saturday night game show that aired on BBC One from 17 November 2001 to 15 June 2002 and it was hosted by Ruby Wax.

    Gameplay

    Round 1

    Three teams of two start the game, with one player from each team at the buzzers and their teammates standing behind them. Wax asks a total of eight questions during this round. Once she finishes reading each question, a 10-second timer starts; the point value is determined by how long the players wait to buzz in. Values start at 1 point, then increase to 3, 5, 8, 12, and finally 15 points just before time expires. When a player buzzes in, his/her teammate must answer the question without conferring. A correct answer awards the points to that team, while a miss awards them to both opposing teams. For the last three questions, a miss automatically scores 15 points for the opposing teams regardless of the current question value.

    After all eight questions have been asked, the team with the lowest score is eliminated. If, on the last question, the team in third place buzzes in so early that they cannot catch up, they are immediately eliminated without being permitted to answer.

    "Waiting Game" was the second single release from The Cooper Temple Clause's third album Make This Your Own and reached #41 in the UK singles chart. The CD version of Waiting Game included a U-MYX feature which allowed people to remix the track in their own personal way.

    When the single charted it was the second week in UK chart history, in which all downloads count towards the chart regardless if there is a physical release or not. If the chart was still under the previous rules in which one was needed, the single would have made #36.

    The Waiting Game

    by: Ben Lee

    R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
    I don't need you 'round here
    I wash my hair
    Of all your pain
    It's not enough
    That you think you're tough
    And all that girl stuff
    Don't feel sorry for yourself
    No one else does
    Smash your radio and your stereo
    And you're feeling blue
    What to do?
    As if I could care
    As if I could care
    You're never home much anymore
    You want me waiting at the door
    To kiss you as you walk on through
    I've waited far too long for you
    And I'm not waiting anymore
    My day doesn't revolve around waiting for you
    You think I've got nothing to do
    Just kiss you as you walk on through
    I've waited far too long for you
    And I'm not waiting anymore
