According to the Cool for Cats Songfacts, the song title is a reference to the UK TV series Cool For Cats, which ran from 1956 to 1961.
Released in March 1979, the song was the second single from Squeeze's Cool for Cats album. It featured a comparatively rare lead vocal performance from Squeeze lyricist Chris Difford, one of only two occasions he sang lead on a Squeeze single A-side (the other was 1989's "Love Circles"). The single, slightly edited from the album track, peaked at #2 on the UK Singles Chart, making it one of the band's biggest hits. Difford brought a cockney accent to the way the lyrics were sung which makes it distinctive as well.
