"853-5937" was the fourth UK single and the second US single released from Squeeze's seventh album, Babylon and On. While the track did not chart in England, it managed to reach number 32 on the US Hot 100 charts. Songwriters Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford both dislike the song immensely, and they have prevented it from being included on any of the band's hit compilations.
