youtube Golden Brown, The Stranglers Haven't heard this for years.

Summery, hazy days of 80's......la la la la, very pop mainstream, but you have to love it.

It was released as a 7" single in January 1982

7" single - lol

I used to love that song, you really need to hear it with headphones on though, it sounds so much better.

It was about heroin, wasn't it?

NigellaTheUndomesticGoddess · 09/06/2008 21:42

never a frown.
that's golden brown.
heroin? or cannabis?

cadelaide · 09/06/2008 21:45

wouldn't call it pop mainstream, really.

Nothing else like it.

love Omar's version too, beautiful song.

aDad · 09/06/2008 21:51

lovely song.

I heard No More Heroes fairly recently as well, and forgot what a great tune that is. Makes me want to leap up and dance every time!

We had Rattus Norvegicus in the car a few weeks ago. Sadly, I had to remove it because the DCs were starting to pick up the lyrics of Peaches, and were singing them in Sainsbury's!

lol, ImPink!

DD(3) sings 'Pimper's Paradise' by Damian Marley very sweetly.

RustyBear · 09/06/2008 22:11

DD's classic howler -she thought Gordon Brown was a song by the Stranglers.....

StealthPolarBear · 09/06/2008 22:13

I used to think it would be a good campaign song for Gordon Brown!

ImPinkThereforeImSpam · 09/06/2008 22:15

Texture like...?

StealthPolarBear · 09/06/2008 22:16

i couldn't think of that - just the "Never a frown" line
Ironic cos he is always frowning!

ImPinkThereforeImSpam · 09/06/2008 22:17

So he should!!

StealthPolarBear · 09/06/2008 22:19

OK
"Gordon Brown

lays me down, with my taxes he runs
throughout the night

with GB"

ImPinkThereforeImSpam · 09/06/2008 22:31

ImPinkThereforeImSpam · 09/06/2008 22:35

Once Tony's chum
Wears me down

Into the night
No end in sight
Always a frown
