[utube4717]

[dorkydorkone]

VEVO, fuck off.

THE STRANGLERS, you are one of the best bands ever.

[mancmuso1]

They were the dogs bollocks!

[FlyingRobbie]

fucking gorgeous!

[TontonRico]

J'aime le regard féroce de Jean-Jacques à la fin...

[annewinwood]

I'm listening to this in memory of Martin Rushent - he was instrumental in the Stranglers and lots of other bands (Google, if you don't know) - I knew him (slightly) when I worked for Albion Records and I'm just taking a moment to remember him, his family and his contribution to music...................

[swampdodger33]

long time ...i know its lack of language skills, but ,FUCK , still top o the pops

[MENSFORTHHILL99]

My Grandma used to like this one. She was tough.

[chrisdable]

They killed his cat and raped his wife.

[Angusismyhero]

This song makes me so pumped, and I always want to get into a fight when I hear it ... not that I've ever been in a fight!

[MaxJNorman]

@Angusismyhero you and me both

[Zeppelinguy666]

i like how the clock at the bottom is sped up haha

[warlockboyburns]

raw!

[verobinful]

Nothing better than "The Stranglers", in my personal opinion/ A diamant wich is not polished. Une pierre précieuse à l'état brut/...Just AMAZING.

[annafumi]

Pity they aren't still together, they could have played this as guests on X Factor lol.

[Haladran]

@annafumi The Stranglers are still together! Or maybe I'm missing your point? :P

[annafumi]

@Haladran No your not missing my point, I just prefered the original line up.

[vegbloke]

It snowed heavily the time this was released, just imagine it, England 1977, i was still at school, champing at the bit to get out.

[missdaisyxxx1]

OMG goin t see em on saturday aaarrgggg lol x

[jayjay4000]

The Stranglers are their most sinister!

[bainty666]

wtf is JJ saying at the end?

[Haladran]

@bainty666 Et si j'les trouve,

Mon pauvre chouchou, enculés!

J'les aurai!

J'les aurai!

Which translates to something like:

And if found 'em,

My poor darling, motherfuckers!

'll Have 'em!

'll Have 'em!

[TheSunnyboy747]

Dave Greenfield is still the best keyboard player of all time. I saw him down two pints one after the other while playing this song live on stage. What a skill! And thats just downing the pints one after another.!!!

[vegbloke]

I just wish he wasn't still playing in 'The Stranglers', we all have to back to what we used to do when it's all over.

[Gypsymist63]

rok it to the moon.......

[lexomillia]

Great group!...and yes...the biologist was Dave, if i remember well. (au clavier).

[AndyUnwritten]

THAT SOLO OWNS

[markbjedimaster]

five minutes is one of the best from a great and underrated band

[chuckxtc999]

supposedly based on the movie"straw dogs",which dustin hoffman and susan george..

[sewitt60]

This track sounds like Franz Ferdinand especially the guitar. One of my favourite Stranglers tracks, underrated in my opinion.

[feline1973]

I think the Manic Street Preachers based their entire career on this video.

[mightywhite41]

lol at david57917,it certainly did work,sounds weird putting it like that,best british band ever.........

[dave57917]

a biologist .a classical trained guitarist. an ice cream man.and a psychedelic keyboard player... in 1977!!.....it shouldnt have worked.....but fuck it did ..

[ady10001]

@dave57917

Haha nice one, who was the ice cream man?

[lexomillia]

@ady10001 Certainely JJ Burnel! ah! ah! i know the biologist was Dave.. (in the syntetizor)

[Maxshard]

@ady10001 Jet Black the drummer, he had a little fleet of them.

[keltyk]

@dave57917 -Dave G Keyboards- 2nd time I saw them was 79 at Loch Lomond- Psychedelic keyboard player indeed- He went off on one and played the most tripped out crazy shit for half an hour mid set--- Extraordinary--- It was confusing since they were meant to be a sort of punk band--- but it was a great performance-- never heard them do anythying like that again

[SatelliteDoll]

Its just excellent! raw and dead sexy

[universalself]

my fave-perfect(studio version)their best song 4 me

[heyyyitsthatONEgirl]

love them. < 3

[Revolver7654321]

off there album The Raven/Side Two/Track One/BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

[Forestamtul]

YOu lot disgust me with your bad language and names with the disgraceful words.

[Alembic25]

You need to get out more.

[GANGARENE]

Yessssss...fucking brilliant....what a band...this is the Stranglers at their best and it didnt get any better than this...

[shitforbollocks777]

great vid ..but why is the embedding disabled? should be able to share it !

[Rawlinson18]

EMI, Every Mistake Imaginable.

[woodesroger]

@shitforbollocks777 its cos its under EMI, the record company

[Rawlinson18]

Aint JJ just the best thing ever?

[axford]

Love the song... Can't imagine what the video director might have had on his hands? "Okay, we'll shoot the lads at 4:00 a.m. after they've been up all night drinking".

[estebanx]

The clock is nice. Ends at 5:00 even though the song is 3:18.

[Givemeafukingname]

The original single could be bought in 2 versions

one that lasted 3:18

one that lasted exactly 5 minutes

I still have the 5 minute version.

Stranglers: Best band EVER

[almklit]

Are you sure I never knew that, I will have to check my copy!

[yinyangcity]

godlike.
