u must have a cool mum. ure mates must be followers not ground breakers. Just great great stuff listen to the snarl , that bass and keyboard solos loud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The use of the past tense "did" - as in "I did go to the store" or " We got wet 'cause it did rain" - is never used in modern British English. It seems to be a speech feature of the USA that was once widespread but now seems to be mostly common to the Atlantic-South (eg Virginia), where I have come across people use this qualifying tense all the time.
if you like music, or play music, or listen to music, or want to do any of those things, buy this album and play it at full volume. your neighbours will thank you. mot
what a killer bass sound for a record from the 70's...imagine what a punch to the stomach it must have been at the 100 club!!! I love everything about this band, they are so fucking unique!!!
i go onto this video and i get an advert for cher loyd, chere fuckin loyd!! seriously!?? where is the sanity in this world!!!!!!! anyway, top fucking song!! :D
Hello. I'm 15, and who honestly cares? This band is clearly amazing, it's just a shame more people my age can't see that. They prefer to listen to the charts because they're all sheep and want to be popular... Quite sad, really. I'm going to see The Stranglers on Saturday :D And I am SO excited :)
I'm 15 too haha :) I love the Stranglers. Mainstream music is crap. The only good modern band really is Kasabian. They produce rock and change sound every album. I saw them two months ago.. It was amazing and the new album will be incredible. Your so lucky! I'd love to see the Stranglers. They are for us British to be proud of. Thank god i'm not the only one who thinks mainstream music is crap! :)
@Gigimolly11 Yeah I agree, Kasabian are great :) I love Vlad the Impaler. I might be a little bit biased by the fact Noel Fielding is in the video :P One word. Nom. And The Stranglers gig was last night... It was AMAZING. I was right at the barrier and it was so loud, but it was so worth it. I was about 3 feet from JJ... and at the end he lent down to give me his guitar pick but some bitch snatched it away :'( Still, I got to touch his hand! :D I got the drumstick from the support band too :D
@Gigimolly11 I know right :) awesome! I swear JJ looked at me and we sang "walking on the beaches" together, while I was jumping around and he was doing his cool dude funky bass dance moves :P And yes! I must see Kasabian :) haha, and yeah we probably would! :O that sucks! some people are such assholes :(
@charmiancharm I was brought up on this music too, born in 90. Thats so cool, your mum was a groupie :D maybe JJ is your dad!! :O jk kiddo, don't panic x
I like Lady Gaga...I really dig the Stranglers...hey- lets get it together and like who you like...every artist has their own appeal to someone - somewhere! Let us know who you like since we have similar tastes...that is how to get the word out other than slamming someone! How about the "Dead Boys" or Steve Earle or Lucinda? Or?
They never got any promotion in America and never really made it there. But in the UK they were among the best. Got voted the top band from the punk era in a survey in the music press a couple of years ago.
You get people in America going on about punk and how they influenced the UK scene and they miss this side of it altogether. In the UK people are scratching their heads going 'erm America..what influence was that?' Basic difference of viewpoint. Rattus Norvigicus, No More Heroes, The Raven.
For my money the Stranglers were amongst the best in the world and they influenced many generations but Iggy Pop and the Stooges 1969 ,Patti Smith at CBGB's 1973, Ramones and Blondie at CBGB's August 1974, Lou Reed were all influential figures in New York punk before The Stranglers were formed.
The Stranglers were actually the opening band for Patti Smith and the Ramones British tour in 1976.
@Barristered thanx for your answer,bcause in the 80 i saw them at the gibus in paris and we spoke french and one of my friend said me he was french,but truly i thought that weird bcause he hadd a little accent!
@Barristered Yeah I think this is why punk became such a phenomenon and has lasted so long as it has. There were all these bands in the US and also a bunch of bands in the UK and they were doing stuff in a similar vein but then when punk happened it was like a common cause on both sides of the Atlantic. There was suddenly all these possibilities that got everyone fired-up. I still find stuff I didn't know about at the time which turn-out to have been real influential, get quite surprised by it.
I love the Stranglers & this song...as a 16 year old playing their cassette I would dance around my bedroom in a music induced frenzy...none of my friends had even heard of them!
@momatmach1 of that era, no bass player matched JJ for his attack, tone or prowess. there is no question he completely stood alone in the 80's as a 4 string powerhouse!!!! the only other bass player that had a greater impact on his genre in that time frame was Cliff Burton.
I saw 'em twice in '80/'81 when they toured through Texas. The 1980 show @ Spit in Houston was the best show I will ever see. The band's wits and emotions were strained to the nines. They stopped and walked off mid-set. One hour later they retook the stage with an anger and passion that overwhelmed and obliterated the fortunate few of us that stayed I will forever hear JJ in the encore, "....and when you find me all alone, the UNITED STATES has never been my home!" Bring back Hugh please!
I met them in person and we had a few drinks (others say a lot!).... My only complaint is that they are not together, like I met them. There can not be the Stranglers sound without JJ, Dave, Jet and Hugh.... it is not only the songs, it is who created and performed them.... RESPECT to them all. RESPECT to the British sound and their genuine punk.

It's suddenly become cool to declare how young you are on videos of music from before your time. Does your age matter? Why do you need to diss your generation in order to appreciate music from another?
This is one of my favourite Stranglers tracks, it's almost haunting in a strange way. I think the chorus' melody does it!
@lapispinoza Harsh words, my Moronic & Retarded little friend. You will get yourself into trouble with comments like this though. I suggest you calm down & be careful.
If commenting to me is making you this upset then I suggest you stop doing it.
Thanks for the extra laugh you just gave me by adding those commas in there for some unknown reason. :)))
You must be very sad & lonely just sitting there all day, thinking up nonsensical things to write to me.
@lapispinoza Still using a comma like a dumbass. Do you know what an apostrophe is & where to find it on your keyboard? Shit, you are so dumb! Hahahahaha!
I like the way you're trying to sound all clever now, but still managing to look really dumb! Hahahahaha!
@lapispinoza This is really getting to you, isn't it! Hahaha! Give up & stop torturing yourself.
You don't seem to understand that with your lack of intellect, all you succeed in doing is making me laugh. I enjoy seeing you in such distress caused by your own foolishness and stupidity.
Do you know how to write in English? I apologise if this comment has caused offence as I see now that English clearly isn't your first language.
Or maybe you're a retarded simpleton? Yes, that must be it!
Please try harder though if you wish to insult me. Maybe add a bit of originality and try to do it without being coarse. Add maybe just a hint of intelligence too if you can dredge some up from god knows where. :)
@pato0231 I'm starting to meet a few more now, i was brought up by my Dad who is a die-hard fan, so you can thank him for bringing me up to world-class music :)
@LowOIL Oh, go on Technobanana. You & your boyfriend just gang up on me then!
Seriously, you 2 must be so homo to be even replying to my comments. I love winding mugs like you up, so please continue to comment. If you think Technobanana is such a hero, why don't you look at some of his other profane comments on other videos! LowOil sir, you are a Cunt for getting involved. Feel brave do you?
This is known as 'Cyber Bulling' apparently, so your friend says. Yes, 'BULLING'????? So stop it now!
One of my favourite Stranglers songs, as a 15 year old it's hard to convince people to like proper music instead of XFactor crap. Seen them 15 times, soon to be 16 in Brighton. Most under-rated band in the world.
@CrazyStubs3 Most younger people like them, its not that hard to belive really .... but this is one of my fave songs too, this one london lady and straighten out are the best :)
@RHiNO1OO - Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm in my forties now and I still belt out every song off this album in the shower, especially Down in the Sewer. It drives my girlfriend daft!!
who the fuck is justn bieber ???...i realy dont no..but everybody calls him a cunt...if he is a cunt then he is a cunt ...please help..cant be botherd ta goggle this cunt
In memoriam to Gary (Ning) Nyhon and Gary (Gorilla) Strachan. Gone but not forgotten. One a suicide and the other a drug over dose. I miss you two and without your influence would have never "Listened" to the music. Skin heads rule !. I see Ning in his Cherry Doc Martins and his FUCK YOU ALL attitude to this day. I see Gorilla with his high powered MC, terrorizing all and sundry. Who would know that two fellas would love me as much as they both did. Bye Guys, I love you both.
If you're sick of watching people mindlessly hovvering over your buisness, then this would be the perfect track for you. They're just hanging around. With the leather all around me, they're just hanging around...
When your endlessly trying to be a master in your own right.
I would love to talk about my fave band eva the Stranglers all night but some of their vids arent very pc. This song, Hanging around shows their class and their punk heritage at the same time. They became more succesful with the likes of Strange little Gir and Golden Brown which would have been a number 1 if not for the Jam making a straight in hit that week with Going Underground . I love the Stranglers. A superb band that made me love music scene for a while. This one is called Hanging Around.

You don't seem to understand that with your lack of intellect, all you succeed in doing is making me laugh. I enjoy seeing you in such distress caused by your own foolishness and stupidity.
You really are a funny Moron! :)

@lapispinoza Nah, you just seem like a Mug! Hahahahahahahaha!
You are not intelligent enough to hit the mark, my friend! :)))
Your writing is still very poor. Do you know when & when not to use capital letters? Hahaha! :)
Mug! :)

Great band. Great song. Thanks for posting. Look forward to seeing Hugh Cornwell with Fish and Blondie's drummer Saturday at The Red devil Lounge.
I heard that they will play Rattus in its entirety with more songs after including No More Heroes. Wow!

Why have you put a comma after 'you'?
Do you know how to write in English? I apologise if this comment has caused offence as I see now that English clearly isn't your first language.
Or maybe you're a retarded simpleton? Yes, that must be it!
Please try harder though if you wish to insult me. Maybe add a bit of originality and try to do it without being coarse. Add maybe just a hint of intelligence too if you can dredge some up from god knows where. :)
Try again!

@LowOIL Oh, go on Technobanana. You & your boyfriend just gang up on me then!
Seriously, you 2 must be so homo to be even replying to my comments. I love winding mugs like you up, so please continue to comment. If you think Technobanana is such a hero, why don't you look at some of his other profane comments on other videos! LowOil sir, you are a Cunt for getting involved. Feel brave do you?
This is known as 'Cyber Bulling' apparently, so your friend says. Yes, 'BULLING'????? So stop it now!

One of my favourite Stranglers songs, as a 15 year old it's hard to convince people to like proper music instead of XFactor crap. Seen them 15 times, soon to be 16 in Brighton. Most under-rated band in the world.

Blimey i can remember going down to my local record shop when i was14 and buying Rattus Norvegicus when it was released in late 1977.
Ive still got the Lp and its only been played about twice in all those years.
Its still my favorite album of theirs and when i was in school in Cardiff i can remember seeing them in Spillers records in either 1977 or 78.
I got all their autographs except Dave Greenfields because the shop was ever so busy and i had to catch the train home.
Great Times

In memoriam to Gary (Ning) Nyhon and Gary (Gorilla) Strachan. Gone but not forgotten. One a suicide and the other a drug over dose. I miss you two and without your influence would have never "Listened" to the music. Skin heads rule !. I see Ning in his Cherry Doc Martins and his FUCK YOU ALL attitude to this day. I see Gorilla with his high powered MC, terrorizing all and sundry. Who would know that two fellas would love me as much as they both did. Bye Guys, I love you both.

If you're sick of watching people mindlessly hovvering over your buisness, then this would be the perfect track for you. They're just hanging around. With the leather all around me, they're just hanging around...
When your endlessly trying to be a master in your own right.

I would love to talk about my fave band eva the Stranglers all night but some of their vids arent very pc. This song, Hanging around shows their class and their punk heritage at the same time. They became more succesful with the likes of Strange little Gir and Golden Brown which would have been a number 1 if not for the Jam making a straight in hit that week with Going Underground . I love the Stranglers. A superb band that made me love music scene for a while. This one is called Hanging Around.
