Golden Brown

[shaytwah]

PLEASE FORGIVE ME- I WENT AND FOUND THE ORIGINAL...THIS IS A MUCH BETTER VERSION...FROM WHAT I COULD TELL THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY REAL HIT THAT THE STRANGLERS HAD...I REALLY DUG THE VOICE OF THE LEAD SINGER OF THE STRANGLERS---THEY REALLY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL

[WeareFOTO]

@shaytwah :/ The Stranglers had 23 charted singles and released over 15 albums. Good research bro.

[YellowPopeye]

2:02 and 2:05 is me - 14 years ago. Aha - can't believe I found this video. :)

[ldnsw2]

@YellowPopeye nice



[nerobat]

I think that it's 1 of the best stranglers cover !

[xxxnxc]

pure shit!!!!! stranglers forever!

[QTKittenz]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG THE OBOE LINE IN THIS IS SOOO FRICKEN SEXY! :O

[McCann71]

Wow, this is the very, very cut version for Kids Television - massacred!

I will try and dig out the full length version, it was my very first directing job after college!

Omar was a total pleasure to work with , considering we had a shoestring budget and only a day to shoot (yeah I know it shows! )

And yeah, it was all about drugs, hence the opium den setting.

[demonwarfare]

this must be about heroin any1 agree???

[snoopiesdad]

@demonwarfare could be or possibly a woman

[MyArseForHire]

met this guy in brighton pushing a buggy. he seemed to be buying a house. i said hello. i felt daft tho

[skinnydipper16]

Interesting cover, I like it, even though I think I shouldn't

[MsKimsingh]

one of the most under rated artists ever!!! today's British so called r'n'b singers owe it all to him..

[saxonfield]

Beautiful!

[no1justchillin]

Never heard this before, but I liked it. Nice one Omar!

[RabbitWonderful]

A great cover version, done completely in the style of Omar's music. Which was unlike the original.. So different from today's cover versions which more or less sound like a tribute act.

[Artsyblack]

@RabbitWonderful He does amazing covers. Have you heard his version of Bob Marley's "Natural Mystic"????

[loverskaeters]

Cette musik est Magnifique .......

[THCmuzicalmasta]

excellent cover tune, up beated tempo,

let's see this make a come back this summer people...

[bannau]

i don't like this at all.

[nebzdafunkinguy]

the original is great...but this also has it unique style....great job

[mannerisms]

Credit where credit is due... This is an amazing cover.. By far the best cover version of any song if I ever heard one..

[lornacnh]

V good version was just thinking I hate covers unless I have herd them before the original but his voice is great.

[almklit]

I agree this is the best cover version of all the covers of this great song (and there are many). Long live the Stranglers who managed to free themselves of this drug sometime ago.

[fodigie]

thank you youtube! i've been trying to find this track for ages!!! not a bad version of a classic tune!!

[bludreams1]

i'm in this video!!! lol, not seen it for years

[MrSlaveMentality]

@bludreams1 lemme guess ur the poster guy at the beginning??

lol!!

stop tellin lies...!

[babymojo1]

lets get back to music.!!!...this is a classic cover by Omar. Omar just gets better and better.....

[rellstylez]

Why does he has white people in a song called "Golden Brown."

[angelamezcua]

its dreg related

[OurLordJeremiah]

Its a song about Heroin, hence the line

"Golden Brown, texture like stone"

[OurLordJeremiah]

Texture like sun,  Sorry :P

[fairplay28]

texture like sand btw

[rosewoodbassist]

sand? WTF?

[Debutante24]

REALLY?!?

I thought he was talking about getting with sistas. Bummer.

[wingdingblue]

who the f**k cut the video - it is utterly crap!

[AMINE9CH]

i love those chinese clothes ,he got a very goooood taste ;)

[28wimpie78]

Klote cover, ze laten hier prima zien hoe je een prima nummer aan gort help. Verschrikkelijk!!!

[neATL]

If this man is within 200 miles of you performing. He is worth the trip and the price of admission.

[iroc31407]

You best believe i did my fair share of driving to see him four days ago.

[MrSlaveMentality]

i know best $5.99 i ever spent

[bizziehandler]

OMar Omar OMar the most unrecognised unappreciated talent in our country.. Big live much love king of uk soul

[T3rryS0u1]

Yo Sir/Madame SamBeKIT, 'It's more like The Red Hot Chili Peppers singing a Stevie Wonder song...O they did HigherGround SO WHAT THE FUSS wha wha

P'z

[ShaeJ]

This song is origionally by the Stranglers, and is about Heroin.

[1selfmademan]

Ya.. thanks. Knew Straglers had the original.. neva knew it was bout heroin.

[1selfmademan]

This is my first time watching this video.. after listening to this song for almost 10 years, I thought it would have a black girl (golden brown) in it.. lol

[1selfmademan]

well the orignal versio was song by a group of white dudes.. maybe they had a crush for a golden brown chick?

[d1thundergod]

omar is midas...

[altafc]

sickest tune by Omar bravo Dawg

[distrofia]

i prefeer stranglers but thank you :)

[Highlanderxcite]

Awful, The Stranglers cannot be imitated.

Music nowadays sucks ! Original version is so much better.

[saraband69]

You really are being a bit narrowminded highlander. This is a great take on a classic that has done the stranglers proud.

[d1thundergod]

due to stupidity of the first order,Highlanderxcite has been ground to youtube dust...

[SamBekit]

well maybe when Higlanderxcite hears it, it's like Backstreet boys doing a Bob Marley cover

[Applebaum]

i remember him performing this on Zig and Zag- Omar was kinda jammin with them live on big breakfast it actually sounded beautiful. love u omar...i dont think he was trying to better the stranglers..he just added his twist- he's so disctitive and sadly underated. Im sure The Stranglers thought it was a beautiful take on it

[alRB211]

Nobody could do a better version than The Stranglers but at least he tried to make it his own.

AL

[waldo197720]

I don't normally like 'covers' but Omar covered this perfectly with his own distinctive style......awesome! 5stars

[mymoonbeam]

I love this version by Omar so glad i searched hard for this clip , its going straight to my favourites, thanks for posting this.

[BeautifulDiva123]

This version is AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE it!!!!!
