Default Brake Squeek

I have a 2000 LX and when I let off the brake pedal, the brakes squeek. I know it's the back brakes, I figured that out by listening around my car and having my dad work the emergency brake back and forth. So, I took the rear wheels off and the drums, and sprayed the whole thing up with brake clean. This helped a little, but it's just as bad now. The brakes work fine, but the squeek is annoying. If anybody knows what this problem is, please let me know.

I think there are parts in there that are supposed to be lubricated?
Don't have my repair manual here with me but I can check later.

is there still plenty of lining left on the shoes? do the insides of the drums look ok? one side or both?

The shoes and the drums are fine. I have a Chilton manual, I'll check to see if anything needs to be lubricated, thanks.
