  • the guy has an Auschwitz ss officer accent

  • @BayouBluesMan Huh?

  • rubbish! they got a great kinks song and made it something naf and horrible.

  • Love song for the ordinarys....

  • FYI, Two Live Crew made a dirty rap of this song in 1990.

  • Prefer the Kinks version, but this one's still pretty damn good. Stranglers are my favourite band, easily.

  • Well, their not the kinks, but they're not trying to be. Decent cover. :)

  • better than the kinks.

  • kinks r 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000x Better

  • One thing I just can't stand is any kind of brass section in an otherwise nice raw rock number like this. It's like wearing a ripped tee shirt and jeans with a bow tie.

  • brill tune,,,mind the palais days dancing away ta that ...kiddin on was playn guitar....brill

  • The lead singer's hot.

  • @Museegirl0018 Agreed !! How Hot is Hugh Cornwell :D

  • The Kinks version is the best...this is weird. So modern...

  • @FiFoj not to modern its 22 years old but also about 20 years older than the original

  • @BigishJim1 I dont care, i like classic rock...this is a pop version with gay vocal

  • @BigishJim1 how can it be older than the original? jw.

  • @FiFoj you obviously never heard stranglers' music.

    pathetic

  • @oblongfan1 Nevermind, I am a punkrocker :)

  • You know, while watching this it kinda reminded me of the Hives... Anybody else of the same opinion? I love the Stranglers though...

  • i much prefer the kinks version. this guy looks so plastic-y

  • bom demais.acabei de ouvir na radio e fui ver no playlist o nome da banda.

  • nope

  • JJ Burnell MAKES this video! Love the Stranglers! \m/

  • Comment removed

  • Follow that..........

  • One of the best covers ever! The original was AWESOME, and this just matches that AWESOMEness

  • still luv the stranglers....but kinks version prob better

  • Thats true.

  • I saw the live two weecks ago. They still rock

  • Amazing solo !!!

  • Strange...In The Guitar Hero Aerosmith, have a music called "All The Day and all of the noght(cover)*". I Think The Stranglers do the cover version!

  • Well we can see who the hives take their look from....I agree with the comment about the Kinks..They were the Punks of their day! and inspiration for many bands alike...did Blur copy the Kinks....I think so.

  • gaaaah! whys he using s strat? i loved his tele sound

  • It's a Strat kind of song...

  • I luv this song, go Stranglers

  • I had a huge crush on the sax player LOL

  • trop bonnnnnn pour les oreilles

  • et pour les yeux aussi.

  • excellent cover.

  • Saw the boys (minus Hugh) in downtown manhatten a few years ago with the new lead guy and new guitarist and they were fucking fabulous!!! Best live show I've ever seen by far...maybe 200 people in the club

  • the true Godfathers of melodic punk - listen Hugh's current stuff - killer...so is his bass player...yummmmm

  • So I'd say the true Godfathers were the kinks

    There are live Versions that sound exactly like this one

    exept maybe for the guitar solo an the saxophone^^

  • Great!

    Coxynuma.66.

    Great band.

  • This is what the original song was meant to sound like.

  • actually I think that the version of Wavegroup is much better, that's the one included in Guitar Hero Aerosmith

  • ha thats what i thought...just a bit more punchy and defined ,crisper edges.??

  • Yeah. I'm not so keen on the sound of the snare drum in this song, though. Far too 80s.

  • Srranglers are dated , didnt stand the ,great ,test of time (timeless)INTERESTIng history lesson ,retrogaze.

  • who the f. voted for less than 5 stars?....

  • i did sorry: )

  • OMG THE LEAD SINGER LOOKS LIKE DR.COX FROM SCRUBS i just realised this

  • Ha ha so he does lol

  • tokyo hotel is better

    IT IS A JOKE

  • I love this song.

    And for me, it's better than the Kinks' original.

  • Yeah, for me also, I enjoy more than the Kinks' version...

  • shame the made it weaker than original stranglers where grweat though the keyboards kinda made the more pop than punk i think

  • Hugh workin the Stratocaster! Damn great version of this song!

  • But the kinks must been proud of this

  • great cover

  • Kinks do it much better

  • Indeed

  • Not nearly as good as the Kinks version.

  • fuckin awesome version

  • COCK A DOODLE F DOO

  • mycheezyhelm bin to see the stranglers latley /listened to their new tune???

    thought not!!!

  • This songs rules! The Stranglers keep the soul from this song, the Kinks must to be proud

  • I searched for this video 'coz this song popped into my head out of the blue today, after not hearing it since the 90s. ') Thanks for uploading it.

  • clicked the wrong one sorry.

  • this release was the first sign of the imminent demise of a once great band. the stranglers were effectively reduced to a karaoke act by the time hugh (rightly) jumped ship

  • I agree that with this cover the wind direction was changing and sh*t was about to hit the fan, but the boys had been doing this tune in clubs when they first started out, and this version is exceptional. Just too bad JJ and Hugh couldn't get along.

  • THANKS SO MUCH IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVV­VVVVVEEEEEEEEE the Stranglers... now I feel all tingly inside ah

  • the stranglers fucken rock man, seen them live in inverness on the 19th of sept 2006, and i'll never forget that date till i die jj burnel is a fuckin god people. long may he live...

  • I love this version - mostly because I love the Stranglers.  They were/are phenomenal...

  • ストラングラーズは 名前だけは 洋楽聞き始めた頃 よく耳にしましたが 音はほとんど聴いたことありませんでした。

    しかし これは 聞いたことがあります。

  • この曲は、ボーカルのヒューコーンウェルが在籍していた時代では­、終わり頃の曲です。ストラングラーズのオリジナルでは無くて

    原曲はキンクスの曲だったと思います。
