The funny thing is that there are guy in the tube producing silly things like" the best bass intro ever" or shit like that and they even fail to mention this fast and furious peace of none other than Mr.JJ
A constant reminder of times before ALL music became dollar signs in some producers eyes. Creative and true, this music can never die like the music of today does in less than a year.
I first heard this song on RUclips, then one day I heard my dad playing it on the turntable, I was like 'He knows this band too?' My dad keeps his hobbies and past life very secret, sad thing really. We have more in common then I originally thought.
Wonderful lyrics and melodies. I just cannot fault them, their early records were out of this world. Their rhythm and timing is perfect. Still miss them. Like us all getting older and into maturity like a good wine.
One of the best bands of their day and there were so many great bands around then. Golden Brown is a personal favourite of mine, I got trapped on that fly paper for a few years. I have no regrets though, what’s the point of regret. My only regrets when it’s my time to go will be the things I never got round to doing or didn’t try at least once.
I still remember being 5 when my dad showed me this music video and I was scarred for 7 years but I can’t even joke this song is such a bop and it doesn’t get the fame it deserves 🖤❤️
The bass and drums from 1:50 are simply the best. The keyboard is magnificent, but the bass and drums are just awesome. RUclips compression crushes it; listen to a high quality version.
A few years back when Hugh was doing a solo acoustic gig near me (utterly amazing), he added a new lyric to this, and it went: Whatever happened to, Zinedine Zadane? He gave a head-butt... That got him sent off!
@Connie Daye _..and Gentlemen in England now abed will think their spoons accurs'd, and hold their breakfast cereals cheap, whiles any speaks who broke fast with me on this, _*_Rice Crispies day!_*
Recognised as one of the first punk bands that diversed into the early years of new wave Pretty clever as most bands just continue to carry on as they began
I've known these guys for 10 minutes only and it's already pretty obvious their creativity is up there with Talking Heads, The Clash or even to such as The Yardbirds and The Who.
The ONLY song i can honestly say i remember the time and date i first heard it, and thought WOW what the hell was that. AMAZING. no other song has ever left such an impressionon me
you could actually hear the 80's gearing up from 1977. I remember it distinctly, 'what's that?' i said. 'That'll be the 80's getting ready' came the reply. If you stood on a chair you could glimpse it just over the horizon
The line about Trotsky getting his ears burned just had to be made into a cartoon. It could have been done 'Tom and Jerry' style or 'Itchy and Scratchy' style, but Terry Gilliam style seems just right for this song. I think it's that both the Pythons and the Stranglers have become heroes, in similarly rebellious ways and in the same era.
Saw these guys live when I was 15yrs old, in Toronto. My friend and I snuck in with a huge group of ppl cuz the doorman couldnt b bothered to check all the tickets, lol. We went and stood right infront of the stage in the mosh pit. Good times
@@andrewmatthews6861 saw Lou Reed, and Jim Carroll around this same time. Thought I'd died and gone 2 heaven. Altho Carroll was high af, and sucked big time. Yes, they were great times!!
A few days ago I heard this on the radio station and my heart stopped and I jammed and had massive flashbacks to this after like 7 years this was my childhood I remember getting dropped of at elementary school and almost everyday I heard this I was born in 2006 but I grew up with very 60s - early 20s Era music and kids at school laugh at me for loving this music but that won't stop me.
Never either before or since heard a song for the first time like I did with this song and thought WOW what was that. can still remember hearing it for the first time as the first song played on the top 20 rundown on Radio One In October 77
Lots of Rock and especially New Wave music holds messages and prophecy from GOD aimed at the Devil and the fallen angels and all who follow them. This song is one of 1000,s. Read ACTS 2:17-21 in the Bible and it will shock you.
“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ I AM SHOOK
Alan, I totally agree with you. Still the same passion to listen their so amazing songs and especially "Golden Brown", which has been as a providence for them, when the band was in a very difficult situation and at the same time, it is an unforgatable romantic waltz for the public. Thanks for you coment.
This is fantastic. Much better than the one released on the official DVD. One small quibble: The line in the first part is "dear old Lenny," not "dear old Lenin." Fairly soon after release, he started performing it as "dear Lenny Bruce" to avoid the confusion. Much respect.
sort of joke you find in the "Big Lebowski" movie . In this movie one guy quote Lenin and another guy understand Lennon and keep on saying "I am the walrus".
I met this song first time I watched for the punk video from the 70´s, it was a first saw passion, great live video compilation, wonderful song, fantastic group. I´ve never seen this videoclip, but I though it´s so cool; thanks for posting
Broke the mould these guys with there music, of there era, they broke all the music influences, from punk, to to rock, to pop, to ska and mods, genius the every one of this band!!!
First you couldn't smoke in them or buy dodgy baccy from underneath the counter, and then it became like at least £5 a pint. Killed themselves, really (well, they were kinda forced to). Shame.
Re-reading Simon R Green's Nightside series. When the hero of the series shows back up in Strangefellows (the oldest bar in the world where Merlin is buried under), the bar starts to play this song. Now that I've listened to this song... It definitely fits.

The most underrated band of all time, what a band !!! come on.
ridiculous. The best band of all time. he he.
They were underrated esp for originally hitting the scene as a punk band then moved with the trends and a huge influence on the beginnings of new wave
Number 7 on the list. Though Can should've been number 1 not number 8.. ruclips.net/video/MaWHttrnUSQ/видео.html
I love music and they're all number one...with a few excepting lol
AGREED!
Rock In Peace Dave Greenfield.
💚
Indeed
The Stranglers really deserve to be in the Rock And Roll hall of fame, These guys are awesome!
That’s an awful lot of exclamation marks
They had something
Fuck disgusting Rock And Roll hall of fame
The keyboard runs & solo on NMH are exquisite and timeless and were created by a genius. R.I.P. Dave Greenfield, your musical legacy lives on.
This music video is Just wonderful. Love it
Amazing song and band. I'm fortunate enough to have seen them last year. RIP Dave Greenfield
This song has one of the greatest intros of all time AND one of the greatest endings of all time. And the stuff in between is pretty awesome too.
The funny thing is that there are guy in the tube producing silly things like" the best bass intro ever" or shit like that and they even fail to mention this fast and furious peace of none other than Mr.JJ
The fact this isn’t the actual music video and this RUclips account created this video is astounding.
this music refuses to go stale..... fresh as a daisy....yet it's about 38 years ago...how can that be possible?
A constant reminder of times before ALL music became dollar signs in some producers eyes. Creative and true, this music can never die like the music of today does in less than a year.
long life lyrics. use by eternity
People have been saying the exact same thing since 1920, if not 400 B.C.
GOOD_MUSIC_IS_TIMELESS
It still fits perfectly with the zeitgeist.
What ever happens...don't give up on music and thankfully we can still enjoy these great artists
Masterpiece with Dave Greenfield on keyboard! R.I.P I enoy last year in Sibenik, Croatia with Stranglers!
I first heard this song on RUclips, then one day I heard my dad playing it on the turntable, I was like 'He knows this band too?' My dad keeps his hobbies and past life very secret, sad thing really. We have more in common then I originally thought.
That's really sad. I try to teach my kids everything I know about music. They're not always interested, but we've bonded over a few songs and albums
The genius who is Dave Greenfield, sadly is no longer with us. R. I. P fella.
One of the greatest punk songs with Dave Greenfield's characteristic sound. Such musicality - brilliant band!
Well said!
Rip to a wonderful keyboard player.....never to be forgotten.
Wonderful lyrics and melodies. I just cannot fault them, their early records were out of this world. Their rhythm and timing is perfect. Still miss them. Like us all getting older and into maturity like a good wine.

I have no regrets though, what’s the point of regret. My only regrets when it’s my time to go will be the things I never got round to doing or didn’t try at least once.
Rest in peace, Dave Greenfield.
I always wished he did something with Stevie Wonder.
RIP Dave. Hello everyone coming to listen to this ace song in his memory x
can we appreciate how cool the editing of this video is
Dave Greenfield - one of the greatest (unsung) heroes of rock music
I still remember being 5 when my dad showed me this music video and I was scarred for 7 years but I can’t even joke this song is such a bop and it doesn’t get the fame it deserves 🖤❤️
One Less Hero. RIP, Dave.
J aime beaucoup cette chanson de The Stranglers. Le seul groupe punk anglais encore en activité , 42 ans leur début. Respect pour eux vraiment 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Quoi, ils sont toujours en activité ????
@@edmontculhachier6788 : Bonjour à vous, oui ils sont toujours en activité

This song was, is and will be sounding right. Its timeless. After so much years it still remains totally fresh

I remember the same with the Fall of the Roman Empire. I heard it crash, it was a Wednesday,
Very monty-python-esque, this video, but you have to admit this is just a great song and certainly fits 'em.
The line about Trotsky getting his ears burned just had to be made into a cartoon.

Never tired of this. They are fantastic!!
Dave Greenfield is a genius!
The first ever 7” single I ever purchased back in the day as a kid of a mere 19 wow what times we had.
Me too, Virgin shop in Brighton, after hearing it in the 6th form common room
First record i bought - still sounds amazing today. RIP Dave Greenfield
Brilliant bass playing throughout the exquisite keyboard solo
Welcome to the greatest keyboard solo ever.
You must have lived a sheltered life.
@@jasonscott5798 He probably means in a pop song...I don't think anyone is saying it's Mozart. It is damn good though.

This song has such amazing lyrics. Love the riff also.
God bless Dave...legend..
Grew up with punk rock, and the Stranglers, even after all these years...just get my boots stomping !!
The musical interlude is among the best ever!
+malarki5 Do you mean the bit of RJD2 at the end?
Not sure what the instrument is called but its the - lets call it the 'piano' part. Brilliant!
Alan, I totally agree with you. Still the same passion to listen their so amazing songs and especially "Golden Brown", which has been as a providence for them, when the band was in a very difficult situation and at the same time, it is an unforgatable romantic waltz for the public.

These guys were amazing live, love em!
One of the best animations of rock ! I love it !
A great song and a brilliant video! Well done.
Mark.
Been a fan of The Stranglers since 1977 as a 11 year old. Still like them stil
Holy shit this video is so good that I actually thought this was the official video fro so long, brilliant!

BransonBrennan Wait, its not?! Bloody hell!
I genuinely thought that....
Well I guess I can this little club! lol
Room for one more lmao
A legendary song of a legendary band
UNIQUE Gordon Unique and sadly missed
A totally "In you face!" kinda song. Sweet memories of a time music came from the guts and no holds barred.
Unlike today's Trash Mark
Who is listening 👂 2020?
Me nigga.
YO!

here am i
yes lovely to hear you all again, and miss you , you Stranglers you!
Very very sadly missed Patsy won't c there like again 😢😢😢😢😢
This is fantastic. Much better than the one released on the official DVD.

A sound from my youth. Very surreal video, so Pythonesct!
The Original Stranglers are badly needed today NOW!!!
Broke the mould these guys with there music, of there era, they broke all the music influences, from punk, to to rock, to pop, to ska and mods, genius the every one of this band!!!
This animation is incredible. Monty Python anyone?
neadst oh 100 percent has monty written all over it
fantastic solo dave ...fantastic.goodbye
Very sad news, a keyboard genius.
Beautiful Song, Amazing Album, Great Band!!!
Whatever happened to Travis Touchdown?
He got sucked into a video game inside his videogame
He's back baby. No More Heroes 3 coming to the switch.
@@matane2465 fuck yeah! moe
You crazy son of a bitch
You actually did it
You absolute madman
love the horror at the end of the video = ) You can never go wrong with that entire album deadringer. RJd2 and dj shadow. just mwaaah
I'M IN IT TO WIN IT BABY!
#1 HERE I COME!
Oh wait, wrong thing.
Wrong thing but with the same name. Huh.
I remember seeing them live back in 1987 and they were f***ing awesome!!
Obligatory reference to the Suda51 video game.
It was probably named for this song
Love this song and superb animation too.
one of the great records of the era
Also one of the best games by Suda51
My old man got me into this kind of music from a very young age, i appreciate him for it
Travis Strikes Again:No More Heroes!
one of the best intros to any song in the history of song intros in the entire universe of song intros
First heard in a dodgy boozer in the East End. What happened to those? Different era. Would give my left nadger to go back to then.
First you couldn't smoke in them or buy dodgy baccy from underneath the counter, and then it became like at least £5 a pint.
Killed themselves, really (well, they were kinda forced to). Shame.
After the 60's70's and 80's the music has never been quite the same. maybe I'm getting old. LOL but those were great decades of music.
MASSIVE THANKS TO YOU STRANGLERS! that keyboard is something...
A brilliant band Patsy
Top track now 30 Oct 2018 and I'm 52 ! Rock on ! Loved everbodies comments about Moby track you're all good people
If Thanos kills everyone in Avengers 4, I want this as the end credit song
Classic stranglers, cracking song, amazing video!!!!!!!!!!
This is simply brilliant. I love it
Never knew the stranglers were this good!
outro song is rdj2 the horror for those wondering
Thanks, I was wondering.
ruclips.net/video/1_rwb9NgHR8/видео.html
for the original original
Thanks for this! Glad someone knew, as 'time time time song' didn't exactly get me anywhere!!
I love RJD2! Thought that his video had autoplayed, but that would be strange after 80s music. But no, it was a short film tacked on the end...
one of the best punk songs
Even though my dad turned into a total loser and ruined his life...I thank him for the music.
HAHA, WHAT, wow, thats exactly the same situation with me!
american beauty
I blame the damn TV set but at least i learnt from his mistakes
1Willum1 I’m sorry for the place your father reached in your heart: learn from his example and lead a “Big Life” , to restore your family honour.

Thanks to this video I meet The Stranglers. Ten years, wow...youtube is geting old.
Brilliant !! Last time I watched I must have been on drugs .. Now I must be on more :)
