Ooooh.. 1977 as a kid this was tremendous. Still is.

the look on both your faces when you realise some of the things he's saying...funnny ..but great band making some truly awesome music , no more heroes, golden brown, bear cage to name but three

I have followed the Stranglers since 1977. I have had the great pleasure of meeting them all over the years. A very intelligent bunch of guys who could play their instruments well.

Always makes me smile...Hugh is having such a good time taking the piss out of a certain type of young guy.

Interesting that these guys were mates with the wonderful 80s celebrity chef, Keith Floyd. The riff of this song was the theme of his BBC cooking programmes

It was meant to be outrageous in the summer of 77, and it was. The Stranglers was an outrageous name, but part of the punk scene. They did a lot of brilliant music.

Thanks for playing this one guys, part of the soundtrack to my teenage years! The organ was played by the late Dave Greenfield whose keyboard skills deserved a lot more credit than he ever got.

One of the greatest songs and sounds

Ive known this song since i was a kid back in '77 and always thought it was" Is she trying to get off with that guitarist" Never realised it was clitoris 🤣

This song is both completely out there yet at the same time as straightforward as the average working class man

Very much reminds me how it was to be fourteen years old. Still a big dumb pleasure to hear this one.

From them I also like "Strange little girl".

Saw the Stranglers at Manchester in 1979. Great band.

This was there first album and they were definitely gritty, mixed in with punk but always musically bigger. Dave Greenfield (RIP) was awesome on the keys and a nice throwback to the likes of Deep Purple, Doors etc. The Down In The Sewer line was a reference to the last track on the album, one that really shows Dave off well and definitely worth checking out!

I had tears as the song went on, your reactions were wonderful. I hope sometimes you watch them back! If my mind still serves me correctly there was a radio edit which suggested she got out of here bikini rather than a body part. Both sleazy and very funny at the same time.

This is more of tye Stranglers classic songs from their early years.

As a school boy .. this was our anthem when on weekly coach trip ..😂

Kia ora hello my friends another great song from a great band i LOVE THESE GUY'S. WICKEDLY AWESOME 👍

I first heard this when I was 6 radio 1 wouldn't play it because of it so called sexsist lyrics. I used to laugh my head off at this one then my much older brother would turn the record over and play " GO buddy Go"and I would start dancing I would love it if you would play that song to. Keep em coming 😅

Got to say that was funny as hell seeing the light switch on both of you turned to each other with big GRINS music is FUN!!!

Great choice of song. Very curious and bouncy. Loads of fun 🏝

Your reaction was wonderful. Rattus Norvegicus was the second album I bought as a teenager. Love the original band.

This was huge when I was a teenager. Loved this song!

Glad this one didn't get blocked, such a great tune!

Thanks guys glad you enjoyed it this is the 'almost clean' edit, in the original when he asks for the sun tan lotion he's a bit more specific about where he wants it applied lol

I also just learned from a WatchMoJo video when the Stranglers appeared on Top of the Pops they could NOT do this song. Instead they performed its b-side "go buddy go"!

I still love the way it was used in 'Sexy Beast'!

Always the Sun by the Stranglers

The band was friendly with a bunch of black musicians, and one time they asked to borrow the Stranglers PA for an event. Hugh and JJ stayed the whole night and were knocked-out by all the reggae tunes and toasting that they heard. First time they'd come across it. They wrote Peaches the next day.

When I was much younger I used to think it was lame that The Stranglers would sing a song about a whole lot of fruit on the beach... I used to think things like ''what next? you going to sing about mangos and apples?'' I had no idea

Another great reaction vid. Stranglers were the 2nd Punk/new wave band I saw live-the Roundhouse in London. First 4 albums of theirs are great. Like others, I'd recommend the closing track of 1st album, Down in the sewer. Also early singles such as Get a grip (on yourself), No more heroes, and Nice n sleazy.

Down In The Sewer, stunning track which closes this album about living in London. The Stranglers at their best.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face! Nice!

Golden Brown is another great track from The Stranglers, I recommend it.

The BBC forced to band to release a more radio-friendly version. They did... only three words were changed! (Guess which three words?) This "clean" remix can be found on the comp "Stranglers Rarities"...

I've been a follower of The Stranglers since the '70s, but will admit to not being a fan of their later material. However, their recent albums such as Giants and Dark Matters are amazing. Take a listen to White Stallion from Dark Matters.

Great to hear this again 😃

Dave Greenfield's organ sound is positively filthy on this one! Can't believe nobody mentioned the infamous live video version with the strippers on stage with the band.!

Listen to waltzinblack and then watch a cooking show by the legendary chef Keith Floyd, who, while immaculately attired in a suit and bow tie used the music of his friends, the stranglers, as his intro and outro to his hilariously irreverent cooking shows which combined superb Food with a good slurp of wine!

Love the Stranglers Punk/Blues/Rock sound

Superb 😎

The brilliant stranglers ,awesome

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah I’ve just seen your post peaches, walking on the beaches!

One of the the best from stranglers maybe of any song of that time

Sure these guys influenced The Fall. Just the lyricism alone!

JJ said “we need a reggae track” so they wrote this. Not my favourite track. But it’s my band and they can do no wrong.

My favourite Stranglers song after Golden Brown

Rattus best album ever made

Great track ,Great reaction :0)

lovely & dirty growling Stranglers anthem...! Love it forever...❤ (yes the organ was fantastic.... it's what the song is about eh..?)

tyvm for playing this not your usual Stranglers song they also did a cover version of Walk on by you may enjoy

I prefer this stuff to their later stuff. I never did get to see them live.

Peaches was a double A side single with Go Buddy go on the other side.

Very cool, heard the song lots of times but never knew the name or who it was by.

Best Punk ever 🇵🇹

Surely there was enough bass in that one!!

Mick Jagger hated it. It was supposed to be a reggae song, but they @ucked it up. I probably reacted the same way when I first heard it, although I was around 13-14yrs old at the time. They had to replace some lyrics for the radio 😂

Tune lol

Originally banned on uk radio when first released 😂😂😂😂❤

If you like this, listen to their cover of 'Walk On By' please.

How about some Dry Cleaning the magic of meghan

Rattus Norvegious had the album vinyl brown rat 🐀

Can I ask a request - David Essex - Rock On ? You'll love it

The guy looks uncomfortable.
