The Stranglers - Nuclear Device

[callingltu]

The only nuclear device there is JJs bass

[dlokmir]

"you cluddy vice" is what i sang before i learned the words

[kylanmat]

Dont no why but this song always makes me smile think its cause the music funny

[GamesFrontiers]

Is this the worst music video ever? 

Bunch of middle-class middle-aged pseudo-punks write a ludicrous song about an obscure Australian conservative politician’s supposed desire for nuclear weapons… Cornwall was, and is, a flake.

Hugh is hot!!!!

[johnanthonyp]

I was talking to a friend about my heroes(there are some) and the comparison with the Doors came up and who was better. We're both in our 40's now and agreed it really doesn't matter. They were both brilliant. I told him that apparently Dave had only heard two tracks of theirs and his first love was the Beach Boys. Hear the harmonies here and that is so evident : ).

[pornocollection]

lol cant help but laugh at this song, its just the way he says "nuclear device" with a big grin on his face and that hat on

[burnt62]

Nuclear Device. Its on the covers and labels of their vinyl discs. Also, its filmed in Australia where Britain carried out nuclear test explosins in the 50s.

[skwijeebob1]

It's actually about the then Premier of Queensland, the late Joh Bjelke Petersen. You could say he was not a fan of the band! But then The Stranglers weren't the most endearing folks back in those days!! don't get me wrong I loved them, still do...

[NormanNormality]

It was actually filmed in Portugal

[LaffinCoo22]

Maybe it was Devised.....

[squidpants]

reminds me of Stiff Little Fingers, whic is weird because their song "Suspect Device" came out the same year

[brien67]

SLF released suspect device a year earlier and is about something completely different.

[squidpants]

maybe so, but they sound similar. both good songs!

[LaffinCoo22]

what kind of hearing do you have.. Gotta Sus, Sus, Suspect Device and Nuclear Device - stop taking the Pills

[choppedlogic]

Cornwell comes in at six stone from the sight of those khakis...

[DANICOS60]

GRANDI!!!!
