Fucking hell
The Stranglers were a pub rock band who got caught up with Punk/New Wave and had some great moments which in my opinion ended after the Raven Album. Many sweaty gigs were had with the Raven logo and rat on the back on many jackets. Happy days.
Dave Greenfield's distinctive keyboard and JJ Burnels bass made everything come together. Gutted

It’s a great track
Just a shame it’s become a bit of a TV cliche/shorthand for “Wacky”

They certainly inspired many other bands, or copycats.
