@wallerpaul70 Robert Williams was the drummer in Captain Beefheart. It was released in 1979. I'm not sure what you mean by "why did he record it". For the fucking fun of it!
So good to hear this again after so many years ❤. The Stranglers had been my very best music buddies in the late 70s and early 80s. Still love them - and will see JJ and his new team in fall.
I always loved this - never realised it was a Cream song as the sound was so "stranglers" !! Great avant garde album "Nosferatu", some classics",Loser in a Lost land" ,Mothra,Irate Caterpillar.Some great lyrics."See the actors leaving Stratford,Shakespeare holds no secret still" BRILLIANT
@@jonblazeinc The clash I think we're almost pop music in comparison to the Stranglers who I don't think we're really a punk band anyway. They were lights years ahead of all the rest musically and lyrically.
In fact 'stringcus' is just an alias I use. I am Stringcus but when I'm all alone, I dress in Mother's clothes and I become Norman and I masturbate while Mother watches. That's why they call me Norman Normal. I'm one Hell of a guy.
Absolutely Goth before Goth, Punk before Punk, New Wave before New Wave. They were first but never recognised. Anthony Wilson hated them as he was a journalist and so did Jon Savage - read anything by them and they slag the Stranglers.
@@Thomas-vc3un Yes I know I was making a general comment about the Stranglers and how before they signed they were very much a Punk rock band, not a 'Punk' as it became to be known as. But the stranglers were a big influence and dabbled with Goth and New Wave and Post Punk (Black and White arguably the first) with songs like Peasant in the big Shitty and iN the shadows and Hugh was being quite Goth with Nosferatu which I know was 1979 but the stranglers were dabbling in 1977.
SteveRes, or is it Soo ...thanks for upload .always liked this cover version,but not seen the video.......Don't bring Harry ??? - I think he's moved in already..
Excellent video. I love Hugh's head hang. Reminiscent of the Black and White album cover of the previous year. Hugh was quite fucked on some hard shit at this time.
Best put you right there FP. Hugh Cornwell didn't write the music to Golden Brown at all. He just added some words to the keyboard riff Dave Greenfield had come up with. It's ironic, considering Greenfield hardly wrote any of The Stranglers' songs, that it turned out to be their biggest hit by a mile!
'He Just added some lyrics' ....yup that's right- just get somebody to do a keyboard riff & 'add a few lyrics' & Bingo ! You got a massive hit record .....
Love the Stranglers to hell and back, but unless this is fake, it seems Dave Brubek is responsible for the riff: ruclips.net/video/2Qs1J612nZs/видео.html
@@doiseyfilms Read the information under Laurence Mason's video. He did a tribute to Dave Greenfield in the style of Dave Brubeck. That is Laurence Mason playing saxophone. He also used video footage from "Take Five".
Hugh Cornwell now that is a Front-man Stranglers are the Cream of New Wave in my book add a little cocktail of punk in for good arcahic measure. His delivery of the wordage in this mysterious track is like a great actor. Ever felt lonely in a Railway Station waiting on a platform in Killarney Eire for a train cuz l have with me Boike & l absolutely loved it answering to no man or beast.
I heared the Cream original first my fav Cream song though I'm not at all a Cream fan. Clapton is a Jerk and Baker was a bigger Jerk. I bought the Hugh Cornwell Nosferatu Album when in came out and this for me is light years better than the original.
Hugh was getting fed up being with the other men in black.Smack and out of prison.I remember my older brother buying this lp,and playing this.I loved it.
If only the rest of Britain was this intelligent for they are all truly Losers In A Lost Land... Turning up at B&Q, Mcdonalds, and the local Coffee Shop to have a gas about their new Carpets - new Kitchens & the blasted rest of their surly shite. Of course l love this rasping encounter of sounds - drumming way out ahead of its time, spoken as a drummer myself. Oh the rhythmic itch it still gives me man. Marvellous to behold... Mark Anthony.
I seem to remember that the mix that accompanied the compilation video was different - much more akin to the original and in my mind much better. Have you joined two bits together? Or perhaps my memory is failing me?
I know a touch of stranglers history. why did hugh make this album with robert williams.Who is he and what is he doing now? Was this recorded about 1979 .Cheers
My brother had this on a 45. I could swear it was labeled as Stranglers though. It was b/w “straighten out” i think… actually not sure which was the a side.
I would say the lyrics would = 1/2 wrote; but agreed without daves little ditty it would not have amounted to much, but without each's the input a lot of the songs would have been non 'Stranglerical' each member submitted his component to each hit..... read the story of the keyboard player of procul harum and whiter shade of pale and how/why he was awarded his roylties... To be honest if a lot of hughs solo stuff had been suported by the stranglers it would sound better.. dave= walzin- black too
Ha ha love The Stranglers and saw Hugh Cornwall live last night....great voice, great musicianship. But this?...it's either deliberately wrong or he doesn't understand how the tune is meant to fit the chords. Singing in the wrong key.

Hugh Cornwell is very handsome and genius
So good to hear this again after so many years ❤. The Stranglers had been my very best music buddies in the late 70s and early 80s. Still love them - and will see JJ and his new team in fall.
Hugh Cornwell and The Stranglers are Masters in covering Songs, most of them are better than the Original.
luv the "anti" guitar solo at the end. Still listen to Hugh and the Stranglers, just miss those dirty days.
Never realised there was a video version of this. many thanks.

Ahhhh, you youngling!
Simply bloody brilliant!!!!!
the greatest punk bands from the 70s from England besides all the rest in my book The Supreme are the Damned and the stranglers nuff said
And the clash
@@jonblazeinc The clash I think we're almost pop music in comparison to the Stranglers who I don't think we're really a punk band anyway. They were lights years ahead of all the rest musically and lyrically.
Is that Syd Barrett by another name?
Watch Nosferatu with this as the backing track - truly gothic!
Find a girl.
@@pigglesy A goth girl. Maybe he likes boys? Oh hang on...maybe he is a girl...could be a Lesbian. Such things exist. I know. My mother told me.
In fact she took me to a couple of Rock Bitch gigs to prove it. Dear old Mother. She's down in the cellar as I write.
In fact 'stringcus' is just an alias I use. I am Stringcus but when I'm all alone, I dress in Mother's clothes and I become Norman and I masturbate while Mother watches. That's why they call me Norman Normal. I'm one Hell of a guy.

Post punk!
Sorry. This was 1979, as punk was ending. Pre New wave and especially Goth. But after Punk had petered out.

Robert Williams name is missing, that's very wrong ,this is co. work and, not solo Hugh Cornwel!
Absolutely love the album and great video - Hugh does a passable Max Schreck but Williams seems to be channelling Eddie Munster! Awesome!
I listen to the nosferatu album very often in the eighties.I never thought there was a video to this song.
What a classic video !
Hugh cornwell fantastic Felin xx
Haven't heard this since it came out first time!! Great stuff..............
NOT a Hugh Cornwell solo album. i thought nobody knew about this record, but… there it is!
+brilliantfish I did -)You are not alone.
absolutely
Fuck me this is good as I remembered...with a video to boot. One reason to love the youtubes.
SteveRes, or is it Soo ...thanks for upload .always liked this cover version,but not seen the video.......Don't bring Harry ??? - I think he's moved in already..

Right up my alley.
Another example of a cover being better than the original.

Magnificent
Weird as fuck but I love this album. Hugh came close to replicating this sound with the Sons of Shiva album.
What a pleasant find
a lot of bowie and iggy imagery in this one with the hands.... love it
Wasn't sure on first hearing. This is bold enough to be eerily good.
Smashing.
Nice' n' Creamy
hugh was a genius, god knows how many hits he wrote and sung, golden brown, no more heroes, always the sun.....
Hey dickhead, this was a Robert Williams album as well
Golden brown and always the sun were shit…… everything after meninblack was shit…..
Dave wrote most of Golden Brown but the lyrics and vocal melody are important as well
....wasn't 'No More Heroes' (mostly) JJs ?
& 'Always the Sun' regarded as 'a Stranglers hit' or a miss , from their 'it's nearly over years' ?
Did the soul of Robyn Hitchcock enter the body of Hugh Cornwell for the purpose of recreating this Cream hit?
Love it!
I heared the Cream original first my fav Cream song though I'm not at all a Cream fan. Clapton is a Jerk and Baker was a bigger Jerk.
I bought the Hugh Cornwell Nosferatu Album when in came out and this for me is light years better than the original.
brilliant !

Marvellous to behold...
Mark Anthony.
Can't help it. 😂 MR. Cornwell's baggy trousers
Always loved this song.
Great imagery. Would make Murnau and Max Schreck proud.
Damn this is good!
Very good cover.
Now listen to his cover version of For What it's Worth!
Not flares but 'Oxford Bags'. Check out pics of The Stranglers getting on the Viking boat for The Raven cover shoot and live at Wembley. Same pants.
Enormous!
One of the best music videos any of the Stranglers ever did.
@almklit Do you think that with 'just like nothing on earth' they were trying to tell us something?
I seem to remember that the mix that accompanied the compilation video was different - much more akin to the original and in my mind much better. Have you joined two bits together? Or perhaps my memory is failing me?
Fucking love it, thanx a lot
Best covers they did ...was from the Kinks !!
Was the Danelectro merely a prop, I wonder? It'd be cool to know Hugh actually used it on the track.
Epic
Looks the spit of Rick Mayall on drums.
It does.
Invisible drums!
@ashbackwards he was....it was...erm...HEROIN!
Nice one
Very bold to cover Cream...symbolic changing of the guards! Cornwell was bold back then.
I know a touch of stranglers history. why did hugh make this album with robert williams.Who is he and what is he doing now? Was this recorded about 1979 .Cheers
My brother had this on a 45. I could swear it was labeled as Stranglers though. It was b/w “straighten out” i think… actually not sure which was the a side.
Straighten out was B side of Something Better Change. ....you may have got confused
sad but true
He was a fan.
The set of the video is like the cover of the 'I'm Stranded' album by the saints, and the drummer is a Bill Nelson lookalike
Anyone know what this song is about?
no it doesnt. its fucking great
this is pre goth. so important but forgotten. im sure the cure learned a thing or 2 from the nosferatu lp.
brilliant! this is better than the original version
I think it's a very different take on the words made to fit the Album Concept Nosferatu.
German Gym in Kings Cross?
That's the idea I think he was a big fan.
Its a song from an album - get over it!
like
Whey, that was the blackest white room ever.
LOL.......Hugh Cornwell was advised to start a solo career in case of The Stranglers breaking up due to the end of the punk-rock scene.
Wasn't a solo album
You could hang your hat on Hugh's adam's apple
Yeah but where as Hugh top teeth come from
....if that 'bit of leather/string ' round his neck was a few inches higher he'd have asphyxiated..
Makes you wonder if the likes of Bauhaus had al look at this video.
looks like night of the living dead......kewl. Hugh was the man!!!!! Anymore his music has gone impotant though.
Gary numan on drums
Early Gothic Rock.
Ha ha ha

Hugh cornwall looked up to jim Morrison
They're probably Yohji
"Bring out yer dead"
Sorry about Hugh"s trousers...
Robert Williams? Great eye makeup. Looks like he just stepped off the set of Metropolis.
Ha ha love The Stranglers and saw Hugh Cornwall live last night....great voice, great musicianship.
But this?...it's either deliberately wrong or he doesn't understand how the tune is meant to fit the chords. Singing in the wrong key.
I loved that he wasn't in tune, deliberately of course, to me it just sounded right even tho musically it wasn't.
The visual homage is nice but....jesus, is this a belabored performance.
Noncommittal. Meh.
This cover is so bad that ends up being very good.
Awful
