The Stranglers - Duchess

[drxerxes]

I always loved this song and it sits beside The Manics - If you tolerate this - similar riff.

[zimbo24560]

There is no god for foolish things and love is a drug because when you're strange you are crazy and why?you are so dangerous for society,it's s a stupid idea ok go,

[PNETriffid]

So can somebody who remembers the 70's tell me if a 'Rodney' was the equivilent of a 'chav', or merely a 'plonker'? I would also be interested to know what a murry thow (spelling) from 'Get a grip (on yourself)' refers to.

[jinxer70]

@PNETriffid their saying 'rowdies', not rodneys

[PNETriffid]

@jinxer70

Hallo mate, thanks for the reply. 'Rowdies' certainly makes more sense but to me it still sounds like 'Rodneys'. I checked three lyrics websites and they all say 'Rodneys', not that that means you're wrong of course.

[Giraffeburger101]

The Punk I grew up with were Daft...

[ediblecheddar]

@Giraffeburger101 i hope thats not meant to be an insult >:(

[Giraffeburger101]

@ediblecheddar Not in any way what so ever, I'm talking about Daft Punk, thats why the two words were in capitals.

[ediblecheddar]

@Giraffeburger101 lol i meant i hope it wasn't an insult to daft punk lol

[sidecar9000]

i was born with the punk

[KenOfKent]

Raven Tour Southampton 1979. Damn good, were they punk? I think they referred to themselves as a "family band"!

[mopbrush1]

bob on this

[Skulldini]

This one is kinde of Beatle-esque sounding.

[civ1]

Screw EMI ,someone re-post this elsewhere- NO more ads please!

[01suiteness]

I love the story behind this, before my time, but knowing that, this shows another face of the Stranglers talent when songwriting

[SpiritualDimensionX]

@01suiteness

Yes, a very talented band and each member had something special to offer. lyrics, base, keyboard player etc

There was nobody doing what they did.

[ShizomaruKun]

De mis favoritas <3

[dcanmore]

the Rodneys now run the world ... god forbid!

[thenaughtystep]

Love this song - sometimes play a fingerpicked acoustic version - probably their most underrated one...

[prolemember]

noscript (firefox addon) blocks the vevo thing (didn't even know there was until I read coments about it :P )

[MrWhoswho1]

I don't want to watch ads featuring a fucking woman beater.

[ZLUGGO]

One of the best songs ever.

[MrBazzabee]

VEVO IS SHITE.... VEVO IS SHITE...... VEVO IS SHITE !!

[babyshaker90210]

@MrBazzabee Vevo helps the band, and it keeps Youtube free. It's a necessary evil.

[sawyerbobby]

@Ianous before youtube used to be awesome,no region bullshit,simple layout design,now its just fucked up,but thanks to apps or extensions or addons as they call in firefox

[AnalysisMusicTv]

subskribe me plz and ill subskribe you back!

[TheUndert0ker]

Is this old or made to look old? A band called The Stranglers would be pretty edgy for the late 70s/early 80s, which is what this video looks like. Either way, pretty sweet tune I like this!

[LeeRatbag]

@TheUndert0ker - the Stranglers have been around since 1974, this track is from '79. Classic band, one of the greatest ever.

[odendahlt]

Peace, love and happiness for all 8-)

[solid408]

Vevo=lame

[jdangerously80]

@solid408 damn straight it does

[rojm]

vevo go to hell

[sawyerbobby]

@Ianous use google chrome browser then get ad block extension,blocks ads on youtube

[Nannirk]

@Ianous What's wrong with this one?

[DaveFilms007]

cool -love to work on a film like this

[Iknowurlookingatthis]

I kinda like this!

[remdrper]

Hello, I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ in the summer of 2003 because I realized that I had broken God's Commandments and that He was going to judge me by them of judgment day. The same is true for everyone reading this. The good news is God Loves You! and sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins and if you're willing to repent (turn from sin with God's help) and put your trust in the Lord Jesus only to save you, He will and give you eternal life.

[adammbowman]

@remdrper Go tell a gay person that, you ignorant fuck!

[adammbowman]

@remdrper Go tell a gay person that, you ignorant fuck! I will give you all eternal death if you all don't stop judging people.

[JDilla2812]

@adammbowman says alot about you, he never even said the word gay, and look at you judging

[adammbowman]

@JDilla2812 I judge those that judge wrongly

[4EVERBULLET]

@adammbowman you wont do shit!

[adammbowman]

@4EVERBULLET No I won't but if there is a hell christians may be surprised to find themselves there

[adammbowman]

@4EVERBULLET What are you an Xtian?

[4EVERBULLET]

@adammbowman you make no sense. you talk about giving people eternal death. just for judging other people? welcome to the world. thats how society works.

[adammbowman]

@4EVERBULLET I really don't care if you are confused with me. I don't care anything about you. I hate religion and I will shout it from the mountain tops.

[4EVERBULLET]

@adammbowman if you dont care at all. then why care about people judging other people? your just a confused person in a big big world.

[adammbowman]

@4EVERBULLET no...I said I don't care about you. By the way, why are you still debating me when I have casted you aside?

[adammbowman]

Respond to this video... You can fucking die for all I care..why keep arguing. I don't care for you. But, if you want to keep going back and forth, by all means, let's go, you fucking cunt

[4EVERBULLET]

@adammbowman you sound so stupid. i only responded because you keep messaging me. your the cunt. just look at your comments and tyhe reason you got all asshurt. you can type all the shit you want. it wont change that your a guy who wishes he had a pussy.

[adammbowman]

@4EVERBULLET "you sound so stupid.." go fuck yourself. go take your shrimp, smelly dick and fuck your mom's shit crusted butthole and die...

[adammbowman]

@adammbowman you want to keep going?

[4EVERBULLET]

@adammbowman wow nice one. if your gonna insult someome come up with better material. material a 12 yearold wouldnt use. if i had to guess, you probably dont have a mom. but you do probably have a dad that fucks and beats the shit outta your useless ass

[4843004]

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

Remember when people didn't talk about pocodot?

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

Heard this for the first time ever today on Radio 2 - I don't understand how I can get to nearly 34 and this be the case?!

What a tune!!

[orpheusinundergrowth]

saw the stranglers 3 times-rattius norvegicus the best one-cost me £4 in 1977

[2E0BFJ]

i love thi song and ive seen it live at wyeside music festival

[EggFriedSpam]

I've had this song on repeat for 6 years

[Niafi11]

These dudes are nuts, man. I love em.

[ekolke]

Awesome! I bought all of The Stranglers albums and singles and they are the best! I was listening to their Black & White Album and the Le Folle album. Both are amazing!

[llandudnoboy]

@ekolke

I bought all their albums right up to when Men In Black was released.

I still think Stranglers IV or Rattus Norvegicus as its also known as was their finest album.

Released right in the middle of the Punk Sex Pistols era it was superb

Black & white, Raven, No More Heros were ok but different slightly more mellow music

Every album of theirs right up to the release of Men In Black was purchased the week they were released

Ive still got them as well all in lovely condition

[10ianpanda]

just saw them on saturday night.....this is my favourite tune.....awesome....

[weecoby3]

First single I ever bought. *sniff* Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ...

[jakeybabyla]

brilliant, though seeing it live at the isle of wight a couple of years ago was amazing, just like it was back when they first did it

[devilkitty]

I like it when Stranglers act like Muppets. Good job!

[rpaxon]

My favorite of many great Stranglers songs.

[MoveOverCasanova]

the ultimate pop song - some always claim to write it one day, though the stranglers already made it long ago --- here it is!!!!

[ZLUGGO]

@MoveOverCasanova

You are absolutely right.
