It is 1992 I'm 6 and on holiday with my parents and older brother. Driving trough East Europa in our Opel Kadett Mk2. My parents are blasting The Stranglers on the cassette radio player.
Remember seeing this in a pub on a video jukebox' it kept coming on automatically as it was the most played video, saved me a few quid to spend on my favourite tiple at the time 'tenants extra' anyway great song. 😊
I’m a teenager shopping in Nordstrom downtown San Diego and this Video comes on! Never seen this video on MTV so I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this 80’s treasure ❤
I don't agree, probably the best band to come out of the UK, the music will be here long after we are gone, LOVE THE STRANGLERS, from a 60`s born guy :-)
I think Crazyhead, Terrorvision & New Model Army were most underrated bands in UK; Stranglers had a fair bit of 'success'? - but there's probably other groups we never even heard of.. ; )
I know it's Stranglers lite but this hangs together really well. Enjoy JJ'S breathy vocal suggesting a leering look at the talent. My favourite of theirs from this era.
Just look at the girl She knows the world owes her something and she's alright Just look at the girl She knows she got that something and she's alright She's got diamond rings from her dad She's got fancy things from her dad All the world, it wants this lady All the world, it wants her So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat) So nice and nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat) Just look at that girl She owns the ground she walks on and she walks all over you Just look at that girl She smiles and breaks your heart, there's nothing you can do She's got diamond rings from her dad She's got fancy things from her dad All the world, it wants my baby All the world, it wants her So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat) So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat) Do not tell me Lies you can't support I wouldn't believe you I wouldn't believe at all Even if I saw Just look at the girl Well, where once she wore leather jackets, now she's wearing furs Just look at that girl She walks around owning everything that's not even hers She's got diamond rings from her dad She's got fancy things from her dad All the world it wants my baby All the world it wants her So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat) So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat ) She walks straight ahead (so nice in nice) Walks all over you (so nice and neat) She smiles and breaks your heart (so nice in nice) But that's ok (so nice and neat) (So nice in nice) (So nice in nice) (So nice in nice)

Both the Stranglers and Wire were old skool punk bands whose musical achievement kept them going as well are their tenacity. How odd in retrospect that this now reminds me of Wire's "Eardrum Buzz" which is from only two years earlier!
I wonder whether Hugh liked this song ,? He almost look like his dancing is parody. He only looks engaged in his solo. I’m hopefully wrong. And if I’m right. He was wrong. This is a classic. And I like the whole stranglers inventory of music ……
@@mariajukejax9649 - turns out to be a *Rickenbacker 360 ...* can't help hearing Pulp Fiction tunes whenever someone plugs one in, not that that's relevant.
actually as a dedicated stranglers fan i pretty much hated this stuff but it is a catchy tune but it was like "Sugar Sugar" a song you couldnt forget no matter hard you try. Actually now i can listen to this and enjoy certain aspects of the song ...Just wondering is the prison outfits and "nice in Nice" song a piss take of when they all got locked up when touring france because they got blamed for the students smashing all the windows in the university or something....incitement through music. punk days?
Excellent, je suis Lucky Luke. Résistance, yellow West and résistance France 🇫🇷. Yesss, liberté 🗽 patriots, no accept 💉, Nevers. Please. Ok. Bisous from 🇫🇷 . I love you. Ouii
This was a total piss take. They were jailed for inciting a riot between students. It was just an excuse, the students wanted to riot anyway and this was their chance. Hence the prison clothes
RIP Dave Greenfield 1949 - 2020.
R.I.P. Dave Greenfield .💙
Whoever loves the stranglers is true and real. This is the real sound. Got the know and how people
This was a great song one if my favourite by them
It is 1986, I'm 21, in my mark 2 Ford Escort and this is blasting out on my cassett radio player!

All us 1970`s teen punks , who`d have thought The Stranglers would have never had such longevity after Hugh`s departure . RIP Jet and Dave .
RIP Dave Greenfield. We'll miss you

Fashion Valley Nordstrom? Horton Plaza Nordstrom? 😉
Some folks haven't really got a clue, its a piss take at the French police/authorities/etc. They got banged up in Nice (hence the jailbird outfits).
Hugh Cornwell was a bloody good looking man. Hollywood looks and talent to match. Great band
You hardly see him in this video. Its JJ Burnel who does the singing here.
The Stranglers : the only band ridiculously dressed and that looks very very cool !
They got arrested in Nice
@@raymondminty4923 damn, now that video looks much funner
Dreamtime: one great song after another!
love this song and the stranglers were the most underrated band to come out of the uk
Fucking damn right...
Even punk's documentaries don't talk about them that much, not at all sometimes...
I don't agree, probably the best band to come out of the UK, the music will be here long after we are gone, LOVE THE STRANGLERS, from a 60`s born guy :-)
Underrated????? Fuck off........
Love this song

Just a great song from a super cool band
The Stranglers were the Rimbauds of the Punk vibe Nobody got them enough
I know it's Stranglers lite but this hangs together really well. Enjoy JJ'S breathy vocal suggesting a leering look at the talent. My favourite of theirs from this era.
Hugh and JJB trying to dance, brilliant.
Pareille. Rebelle too. I am french. Plus jeune de 62.. i love you. Vive la France, résistance. Yess
Les Stranglers ! Un très très grand groupe aux multiples facettes....
Great song. How great were The Stranglers? Really.
Rhetorical question? Here's your answer, anyway, they were brilliant. Damned fan ; )
Very much underappreciated IMO
Very great.
@@Kelly14UK quite good, good infact, but not great, and thats not being disrespectful to them either. Good band.
Fantastic mate-I miss them!😢
I love how the Stranglers changed and evolved over time. Bands nowadays are usually just charicatures of themselves over and over again
J'adore notre JJ. Il était jeune.
Just look at the girl
She knows the world owes her something and she's alright
Just look at the girl
She knows she got that something and she's alright
She's got diamond rings from her dad
She's got fancy things from her dad
All the world, it wants this lady
All the world, it wants her
So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
So nice and nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
Just look at that girl
She owns the ground she walks on and she walks all over you
Just look at that girl
She smiles and breaks your heart, there's nothing you can do
She's got diamond rings from her dad
She's got fancy things from her dad
All the world, it wants my baby
All the world, it wants her
So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
Do not tell me
Lies you can't support
I wouldn't believe you
I wouldn't believe at all
Even if I saw
Just look at the girl
Well, where once she wore leather jackets, now she's wearing furs
Just look at that girl
She walks around owning everything that's not even hers
She's got diamond rings from her dad
She's got fancy things from her dad
All the world it wants my baby
All the world it wants her
So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat)
So nice in nice (so nice in nice) so nice and neat (so nice and neat )
She walks straight ahead (so nice in nice)
Walks all over you (so nice and neat)
She smiles and breaks your heart (so nice in nice)
But that's ok (so nice and neat)
(So nice in nice)
(So nice in nice)
(So nice in nice)
Si j'ai bonne mémoire, cette chanson fait référence à une bagarre où JJ Burnel était impliqué lors d'un concert à Nice (il pratiquait le karaté).

Seen them 15 times (1977..2007), but the attack in nIce brought me here.
Odd boy
Hugh & dave have the best trousers
J adore.. vive la 🇫🇷 too. Ouii
Tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who agrees these are the most funniest lyrics on the planet???
Of its time "a funny ending" yet it would not be excepted now!
handsome as well as talented
This sounds so similar to talking heads wild Wild life and they were both released in 1986!
Nice.😎 🇬🇧
Well that's one funny video ;-)
The arpeggio hooks! Euro DEVO with french swagger n'est pas?
Proper song from the 80s
Hou, oui. Love 😍
Just look at that girl !
I remember the day they got kicked out of Nice, Jets bro told me how upset they where, Not!
saw the Stranglers on the no more heroes tour 1978
I saw them when ever I could, you name the tour I was at it
@@iancmitchellLucky chap
So Nice
JJ BURNEL !!! THE BEST
So rad 👌
Love Hughs mulberry coloured 6 string rickenbacker
The keys are the best!
I haven't heard this since 1986, i don't know what brought me here but i doubt I'll be back for another 37 years.
Ciao Dave rip.
T es fou comme nous français. Je t adore. . Yesss
Oui, c'est la folie.
JJ in drag at the end? lol
You wanna understand me? Listen to the stranglers and you have the beginning of my existence!
Stranglers will always be Hugh Dave jet black and Jj Burrell but it’s great with all the new musicians
Notre JJ. Yess french. Ouiii
JJ B on vocals
31 years ago
eh oui ça nous rajeunie pas, la claque.
Hi. Yessje t adore JJ. Fench comme moi. . Ouiii
this song is so relevent right now
Original vocalist was Bruce Forsyth & it was called'Nice to see you to see you in Nice'
If I remember correctly, original strangler fans thought they had sold out when this was released.
Just think... Nice was the base Laance Armstrong and teammates like Frankie Andreu resided in when they went to Europe. Had a house there and all.
so nice in price ;P :° :) :)

Ladies: Please wear Full Fashion stockings 24/7, even when sleeping!
Yep, notre JJ french. Houhou
2018??
Some good songs on Dreamtime but not as strong as Oral Sculpture imho
Dave without his moustache?
i wonder if jet black had the same color striped underpants on
nice in nice is nice
In nice, nice in nice is nice as well.
@@Awibrahor nice 😎😎
anyone know what Guitar Hugh is guitaring with?
seems the video's often had smarter instruments on show!
It looks a bit like a Danelectro to me.

Some nice in Nice Poooooland!!!
Another little bit of Dave borrowing a bit of another song with the keyboard at 0:45 from Dagenham Dave, and repeated in other verses
secrethousemate well spotted man 👍🏼
And yet a song so removed from Dag Dave.
I'm silent over this.
R.I.P. to those who died .
That's pretty universal
I prefer the earlier stuff.

wagsouza they got chucked out of Nice idiot

Where the hell's all the United Artists era stuff gone? 'Who Wants The World?', 'Golden Brown', 'Bear Cage', 'Strange Little Girl' etc, etc?
That's good but in the past mate.
U mean the videos right? I was wondering that too..
@@qwargy Indeed!
so horror in Nice...
They look a right bunch of sad old badsards in this.
They even look older bastards now !
Agreed but not as old & sad as they look now!
Maybe you need to look at yourself.
Guess where my Google monika came from.
How hot is JJ here?🤪❤
