Hugh Cornwell - Strange Little Girl

[courgan09]

Hugh, that is f...ing brilliant, it´s really hard for me to find the right words, it´s just unbelieveable good!

[Madgethecat]

fantastic, one of my favorites :D

[TheToonboy989bass]

saw him at exeter pheonix a few years back tried to get a photo with him and my son he didnt want to know been buying his records since 1977. The guys a tosser

[LabiaLicker1]

@TheToonboy989bass Yep! Love his music,esp with the stranglers! But totally agree with ya- An utter stuck-up prick,in the flesh! Shame!?

[geobruf123]

great version. i prefer the original groove though. if he came back to the stranglers id go crazy

[BottomBoosh]

If somebody has the whole programme of him on Sky Arts Please,Upload It!

[Mr1DanSmith]

What a great advert for the music industry. Well done Hugh.

[paddymacinblack]

..Just asw this on Sky Arts today,.didnt realise this clip(have seen it previously) was from this programme. Do you have access to uploading 'Cadiz'?? really nice version here!! Cheers!!:D

[chanctonbury63]

HC son of Guildford.

[incpuable]

Just perfect...

[eightiesrarities]

great stuff

[muidarule]

Love this! And I'm and 18 year old!

[BEAUTYCREEK]

Hugh Comeback to The Stranglers

[LabiaLicker1]

Well! youtube @ 3am,2 bottles of red wine,and the word "Beiber" used on a

Hugh vid- Really?

[michelle353]

let me sing with you

[mindlesspup]

Cool to see him playing a Canadian Godin Seagull guitar.

[ekolke]

Great!

[418mhzcablefree]

What a classic! I met Hugh after a Hoover Dam gig . . . what a nice bloke.

[oblongfan1]

hugh you must come to fliorida when you tour in the states, please, got to meet you while youre alive.

[Gomarshit]

damn soo bummed i missed his show in chicago last year... hopefully next year

[brbrbr1]

Thats not music, totally lame, some oldtimer with a couple of chords.

(damn at 1:35 I literally had tears in my eyes)

[oblongfan1]

@brbrbr1 justin beiber fan?

[LabiaLicker1]

@brbrbr1 Then what ya looking at this for ya fucking gob-shite gay fuck? Fuck off,and look@ Justin Beiberphile shit,probably to ya taste?

[brbrbr1]

@LabiaLicker1

Once again I forgot, that sarcasm doesn't work on the Internetz. Get a grip on yourself.

[mandova63]

@leonaofficial : re album sales = not registered on any sales chart. What era are you living in? As you don't know about music sales stats shut the fuck up & post something constructive, you fuckwit ;-)

[Zilimanjero]

whatsoever; great song, great cover. thanks.

[20basher]

your nothing without jet dave and jj

[NightGallery]

@20basher I've listened to both Hugh's solo output, and that of post-Hugh Stranglers. It is obvious that Hugh took the talent with him. Stranglers without his songwriting, guitar and great voice are nothing but a nostalgia act. Period.

[greenonion1000]

Oh dear, why not just pack it in? Thought you "didn't need the money"? Now the Stranglers - new line up - are coining it in again you're suddenly back on the bandwagon. What a despicable twat, no wonder JJ wants to smack you round the head ;-)

[katoness]

@greenonion1000 eh thats nice, let the man play. Its no water off your back, so why the bitterness and anger. JJ Burnell is a bully!

[NightGallery]

@greenonion1000 I've listened to both Hugh's solo output, and that of post-Hugh Stranglers. It is obvious that Hugh took the talent with him. Stranglers without his songwriting, guitar and great voice are nothing but a nostalgia act, and it is THEY who need to "pack it in". JJ is simply jealous and bitter.

[leonaofficial]

@greenonion1000 coining it ? Live concert royalties split how many ways ? Stranglers MK2 album sales = so poor not registered on any sales charts .

[deklenemary]

so teoll

[MrMiket79]

Seeing this on TV got me into the stranglers. So glad to see it again. thanks for posting it

[stanleyknowsbest]

if he is going to sing stranglers hits what was the point of splitting up with them...good song though

[kotsos1978]

i was wondering the same.....

[BigRandyDave]

because he wrote nearly all the songs douchebag

[stanleyknowsbest]

@BigRandyDave

you obviously don't know the history of the stranglers once he left the band twat

[BigRandyDave]

if you want to start throwing fisty cuffs then go ahead, who said anything about writing songs after the stranglers split? he sings the songs that he mostly wrote for the stranglers whilst they were together, thats what i said.

[stanleyknowsbest]

@BigRandyDave

He didnt write most of the songs

you idiot ....burnel wrote more than he;s fair share

[BigRandyDave]

@stanleyknowsbest

Thats like saying why would Noel Gallagher sing oasis songs when hes not in oasis anymore. dont call me an idiot i was making a point. but you obviously cant hold a conversation without name calling so go and tell teacher on me then if it bothers you that much.

[stanleyknowsbest]

@BigRandyDave

you insulted me first. Anyway Hugh Cornwall refused to sing stranglers hits

at he's concerts at first ..stating if you want stranglers songs go see the stranglers

but when he realised he couldn't make it

as solo artist he started singing them at he's concerts

[BigRandyDave]

@stanleyknowsbest

You insulted me first, you sound like a 3 year old.

But either way hes a good singer no matter what he does, and i saw the Stranglers as they are now in southampton and they were just as good.

Now you get two different sounds of the same songs and they are both brilliant.

[stanleyknowsbest]

@BigRandyDave

and no he didn't write most of the songs

[deftonesfan192]

Do you have the vid for the song "cadiz"??

[easterngold]

Isn't this just amazing. du du du du du...O my hero!

[edwards21416]

shhh genious at work

[devilkitty]

I like this more every time I hear it.

[Grabarz68]

przepiękna piosenka!

always the sun from Poland

[russscience]

Great song - especially on acoustic

[PliskinLee]

Absolutely class act. Wish it was 1977 again: JUST HANGING AROUND! Come back Hugh. The world needs The Stranglers in their entirity again.

[Joseline1975]

his show last night was amazing!

[TheBleech]

This guy is a legend.

Come back to the Stranglers Hugh..plz

And he's 6'3" ...did you know that?

Don't mess with the Hugh :)

[cujo9]

fucking legendary

[kiss904]

is this the cunt with the mullet in the golden brown vid?

[kiss904]

lol what a "strange" mind you have

[TheMoira1]

thanks for posting this song. it's great! timeless!

[vintagezigg]

Just Wonderful ! I'm trying to get used to appreciating Hugh without the Stranglers.Isn't easy. Kinda sad. He was so cool and handsome. Not that he isn't now. In a different way . I'm looking forward to seeing him soon, in the US .I'll always be a fan!

[seanreillyireland]

Hey Zigg! Glad you liked it! I always thought they (the Stranglers) only missed one thing... that they weren't singing in French! That'd complete the whole 'Film noir' aura they had.

[WESSERPARAQUAT]

Huge is VERY under-rated this is MAGNIFICENT performance AND song

[MoveOverCasanova]

better an underrated gent like Cornwell than an over-rated prick like the one that replaced him in stranglers, and whose name i shall not utter here...!

[RattusNorvegicus67]

hughinblack just like the fine wines gettin better with age... :)

[MrCoxson]

Great great version - available on CD?

[geobruf123]

I love that instrumental section too much!!!. The band kill it in the original!. great great song

[MarqueeMoon95]

He sounds almost exactly the same! Not at all older.

[gerdenshed]

Considering Harry and the monkey on his shoulder.... He's doing great! I'm so glad I got to see this video, the mans a modern day miracle 5*s

Mark....

[lollygaggle]

Survivors of earthquakes being found alive in the rubble two weeks later are miracles. You wouldn't like to reconsider Hugh being labelled a 'miracle'?

Do, do, do. do do?

[gerdenshed]

No I wouldn't...

Mark...

[lollygaggle]

That's cool, but can you elaborate on what makes Mr Cornwell a 'miracle'?

[gerdenshed]

I mean't it's a miracle he's still alive after all the drugs he's taken....

Mark...

[ninelivecat]

That's wicked keep it up Hugh Very Cool

[Firefred1]

Well, he's gotten older, but so do we all - and his singing and playing is still good. The Stranglers were never the same without him.

[RankAndFileGuy]

This guy sounds great, the tone is just nice to listen to. I don't care if he was better when he was younger, right now he sounds really good.

[lilpig12345]

he has aged abit now hasn't he!!!!

[organaphus]

He doesn't look bad for a 60-year old, though!

[maryruott]

amazing! The stranglers weren't the same band without Hugh!

[ksmit]

yeah, Hugh is a master. Although I miss the old Strangler days, he has written some great stuff since......

[deuce1963]

I love shred guitar but it can't ever take the place of a well crafted song .... 1,000 notes cannot take the place of 1 memorable, meaningful melody. Hugh, please keep writting and performing .... you're one of a kind.

[hanging1v]

sad shuggy looks lost without the stranglers, strange old guy where are you going? nowhere

[hotdave86000]

COOL

[Sashthecat]

Fab!

[RoryCochrane]

I always loved this song.

[soundofthenorth]

please upload 2009 songbooks! great stuff

[sofaguard]

i love this version. he can take an old song and make it so fresh and new

[razorsk8s]

i dont know why. but i like this song a lot.

[Hughplp]

A lot of the songs by those brilliant lead players is wank and doesn't stand up against the best Stranglers songs

[EjZakic]

absoulte brilliant Guitar work. Thanks for posting this one :)

[rubyantiart]

i close my eyes and pretend he is singing this to me...

[tgwtrh]

His guitar on 'walk on by' is my favourite ever, boring technical guitar players are ten a penny. He is also perfectly handsome.

[muadib63]

Inutile dire se è bravo o no a suonare la chitarra. Hugh ha il suo modo, ed grande così. Gli stranglers li abbiamo amati tanto anche perchè erano dei grandi cialtroni, no?!

[pongtubepete]

Whether he's a good guitar player or not,He's no worse than any of his contempories.What is not debatable is his amazing ability to write and perform some stunning songs. Anyway,in the late seventies,the odd bum note at the volume they played at went mainly unnoticed!I was too busy jumping and being jumped on down in the mosh pits.

Let us not forget that out of punk came a new breed of music that tore us away from the brotherhood of man,Boney M and the likes!

Hail King Hughey!

[fatboy6846]

can you play better,,,,dont think so

[MeatisMeaty]

Oh, not at all! He did some brilliant things with his guitar on some of those early Stranglers albums. He's aging quite well, too.

[Soniags]

Just a masterpiece by a master.

[coldplayjosh]

he's like 59, but he's still got it... great acoustic version!

[rubencon]

real hero

[ppkbear]

First class. The man is legend.

[pongtubepete]

Sing it to me Hughey! Megga track!!!!

[limolime]

When you see this it would be great to see Hugh even with Baz there in The best band in the world.

[chris19700]

PURE CLASS..!

[goodbyetoulouse77]

Brilliant hugh, still the man!!

[atomicFlyer]

Nice job Hugh! A classic song and artist!

[BottomBoosh]

Still Great !!!

[thebiggestbear]

Thanks for putting this on. Quite beautiful. Cornwell's voice still sounds fantastic. What a georgeous song.
