My father always used to sing/play this song for me as a child. He would tell me that it reminded him of the way the sun hit my blonde hair when I would play outside as a bairn. This song will always remind me of my father! Ever since I was a child I promised myself that we would dance to Golden Brown at my wedding because it was our song. I’m so thankful he’s here today and I think that’s what makes me love this song even more. There’s so many memories (good and bad) attached to this song that makes it so timeless. It brings me great inner peace.
The way you worded that I thought you were gonna say he died. In the words of Stanley from the Office: “What is wrong with you?! Why’d you have to say it like that?!”
"Right now, that's the last thing on Tommy's mind. If Gourgeous doesn't wake up in the next few minutes, Tommy knows he'll be buried with him. Why would the Gypsies wanna go to the trouble, of explaining why a man died in their campsite, not when they can bury the pair of them and move camp? It's not like they've got Social Security numbers. Is it? Tommy, the tit, is praying. And if he isn't, he fuckin' should be."
Sheer genius!. This band are true pioneers, one of the most innovative and creative of them all. They never fit into a genre, their styles were all their own and how those songs are indelibly stamped now in the human psyche, fabulous!. Way to go lads, we will never see the likes of you again!.
i really like this song because the waltz-like off beat, harmonies,mix of varied & well played instruments & great lyrics (which i like the story). i think the stranglers were certainly original and rare.
RIP Dave Greenfield! What a legend ! The band’s keyboard player who sadly passed away last year with COVID! Such a lovely guy apparently according to the other band members as well ! ☹️
I'm glad that people are discovering this beautiful song from modern movies and shows. I'm 27, but I would love if my generation could "do a little homework" about music (so to speak) so that the generations after us can continue to hear and enjoy this music
i'm 16 and am only beggining to learn what all the genres for the songs i grew up listening to are and all about the cultural movements associated with them, and it really is fascinating and allowed me to find more lesser known songs that i now wish i heard sooner.
@@bethanybrookes8479 check out early 1960’s AUSSIE GARAGE MUSIC, and THE MASTER APPRENTICES: WAR OF HANDS! It’s Amazing! I’m 59 this week, grew up in USA 1960’s
my mom and dad love this song. I remember them playing this song. it brings back memories and feeling i thought i would never gain ever again. thank you
I am searching for this song one month!😂 I heard it out of the cafe shop and i finally found it in one video on youtube titled "100 New Wave songs of80'"
When I was reminded of this song I had to pick up my guitar and learn it . I'm not gonna lie it made me shed a tear. This is a case study in emotive music. Amazing!!
@@nakodile Once you know the chords you just use your thumb for the bass notes and pick D G and B strings together with your fingers after each bass note to get that harpsichord vibe
❤ Johnny, I imagine the Floppy Sock Waltz with you. I trust your dancing completely. I saw you carefully dance with the Undersea Queen in your movie with the Octopusfaceman. I know how to relax, Elizabeth ❤
@@Witnexxx It's still an amazing song that I listen to frequently. I knew people would be searching for it after the UA episode but 🥴 I was not expecting to see this 💀 Also you were pretty close! I'm 21 now. iPod is dead though. 😂
***** 30s - 50s Germany and France are my favourites. "Ankle photos vintage" just means the models are so beautiful that they don't have to be immodest to be considered attractive. ;)
The music in this song is absolutely wonderful. So off-kilter and classy-sounding, which is odd given the type of guys these people were, from what I've heard. Fantastic song.
My best friend was an almost 7 foot tall half-Japanese guy, in the first year of my first degree. Told me that, because of my constant playing of this song after forcing him to watch _Snatch_, this was stuck in his head for the entire 24-hour flight back home for Christmas break. Our Russian exchange student friend remarked-- "he's fucking HARD." That was in the year 2000. Wonderful memories. What a moment this song is. Wonderful.
I heard this when I was a small kid. I still hear it as an adult and father of three kids. This is timeless and just endlessly beautiful. Perhaps just like heroin, but that I wouldnt know. God thanks ;)
_Hash browns, texture like sun,_ _Lays me down, with my sto-mach full,_ _Throughout the night,_ _no need to fight,_ _Never a frown, with golden hash browns._ _Every time just like the last,_ _Riding shotgun, every break-fast,_ _To distant macca's,_ _Takes both my dollars,_ _Never a frown with golden hash browns._ _Golden hash brown, finer temptress,_ _Through the ages her quality's less._ _From far away_ _Sells for a day_ _Never a frown with golden hash browns._ _Never a frown..._ _With golden hash browns..._ _Never a frown..._ _With golden hash browns..._
I was 15 when I bought the single It's still as good as it was the first time I heard it and Now I even understand what I am listening to. The stranglers were huge and still are.
Always loved this one something so frigging unique and cool about it.. Even if the subject matter is far from that, the song has a dreamy magic that captures them feels......
Since so many modern musicians lack talent, it's nice to know I can backtrack and look for good British stuff we missed out on in the US. It's like the benefit of brand new music without the suckiness.
this is so beautiful, i cried the first time I heard it - I was around 10. Im 22 now, but I have loved The Stranglers since I was 8. "No more heroes" was the tune that really made me love them at first. I also love that one of their greatest(imo) album is called "Rattus Norvegicus" as I am from Norway and have 4 rats. I will always have a special place in my heart for The Stranglers ! Ramble on!
I had a dream about this song ,and I didn't know what it was, and so I had this strange song stuck in my head that i had never heard of?....... Then THAT DAY it came up on the Radio! How strange? I asked my mum what it was called and she said golden brown so i searched it up on TH-cam and it came up with this! ever since i have been an 80s kid (lol). I am still trying my hardest to remember if I had listened to this before but my brain just gets all fuzzed up! (This IS true)
man, i heard this song so many times and i have never had the possibility to find out wich song it was, till recently, this song came on the radio and i heard who made it. its a song that now stands for this time in my life and i'll never forget it.
This tune came out on the radio today(uk) i remember it well.Had to you tube it wen i got home from a hard days ploughing the fields.Great tune,as for the herion bit...i dont do drugs,so not a CLUE!!!!!
Heard this song for the first time in the Snatch movie, and today heard it again on The Umbrella Academy
I just had the exact same epiphany
I heard it in snatch 😊
Same here
When Brad Pitt kills the gypsy
I'm half Irish it reminds me of Irish music lol
it's songs like these that make me wonder what other masterpieces I might never have the good fortune to hear
Facts
Man. Makes me sad but hopeful. We have to find them somehow

This came out in 1982 and is still an amazing song
the sign of an infinite classic.
it will sound interesting 200 years from now, and 2,000 years from now.
My father always used to sing/play this song for me as a child. He would tell me that it reminded him of the way the sun hit my blonde hair when I would play outside as a bairn.

he was probably stoned on Golden Brown Rocks...
Wow!
It's because he was on the gear
The way you worded that I thought you were gonna say he died.
In the words of Stanley from the Office:
“What is wrong with you?! Why’d you have to say it like that?!”
It's too beautiful. It's making me cry
It's about heroin
Ikr ur crying about heroine peculiar?
Maybe, this is a good song with good music???
I do agree there
@@soulsaver369 I don't care. It's just good music, even though I know what it is about 🤷🏻♀️

Heard this in a pub once as a kid and I've been searching for it for years, I finally found it after recognising it in UA.
Love all the Snatch quotes everyone has commented. Such a great film.
i really like this song because the waltz-like off beat, harmonies,mix of varied & well played instruments & great lyrics (which i like the story). i think the stranglers were certainly original and rare.
First heard this in 1983 as a kid loved it then and still do now!

Never found that comment again to thank him lol
I woke up this morning with this song in my head!! Why?? Haven’t hear this song in decaden! It is one of my favorites❤️
I remember when this first came out in the early eighties, I instantly loved it then and still love it...
Such a great song - so good that it describes H without ever being obvious. Still throws me back to my dark days even 15 years later.
Hammerhead (1987)
What a nice song!!!! Who still listen in 2020??
@Stay Humble yeah but its still good

Listen to it again I’m here to remind you :)
Hi again!
TH-cam brought me here and couldnt be happier about it
I got u bro
I love this song, there's nothing else that sounds like it.
I wish the Stranglers did more songs like this.
Anybody seen snatch?
I’ve seen A snatch, but no.
Yes love that movie that's where everyone should know this song
When the pikey knocks Tommy the tit out lol
Classic,classic song.Still sounds fresh today
I remember when I went to see them last year and they played this. I went crazy! Such an amazing concert! Amazing band with awesome songs!!!
When I was reminded of this song I had to pick up my guitar and learn it . I'm not gonna lie it made me shed a tear. This is a case study in emotive music.
Amazing!!
I’m learning it on guitar, too! I don’t know how I’ll capture it, it’ll be hard to replicate such a good song.

I love this song, there's nothing else that sounds like it.
paprika the parade...almost like this song
+MrDarkAkari imo
nomad mountain outlaws sound pretty similar, they even cover this song.
+xeokym Because it's not in 4/4 like most pop songs. Plus other things ;)
Sounds like Indila - Love Story
"you stay until the jobs done" - MICKEY
mickey is a dead boy is he is not prYing
I think the last thing gorgeous George said in the whole film was... That's it... I'm out
Here we go, the army of "here because of umbrella academy" will invade this channel after years collecting dust
.
Who cares what it's about, it is a classic, plain and simple.
It’s about Heroin
Alfie don’t care
Fella Jobbie good for you
It's about heroin
What a song is about is the whole point of the song you dumbo
C'est une chanson magnifique qui restera gravée pour toujours dans mon cœur !
the melody sounds like something from medieval ages.
'Baroque' music is the term you are looking for.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 I'm thinking more like medieval country folk,it's too pop for baroque heheheh

i feel you..
I agree 💯. This is my favorite song as well.
This and "Walk On By" are by far my two favs for the last two months and still going strong.
also one of my favourites
Browsing pics of vintage women and listening to this with a cuppa tea...oh my.
So very English. ;)

Totally hypnotic. I love it.

I am here because I am old and I remember the 80s
Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my might she runs

No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

_Takes both my dollars,_
_Never a frown with golden hash browns._
_Golden hash brown, finer temptress,_
_Through the ages her quality's less._

Right after episode 3 I came straight here.. I love this song already
Goldem brown
Yes
Such a great song. Am captivated by the adventurous 3/4 - 4/4 time signature.
If you play this song over and over ..... It sounds like , song have no end !!! Awesome :D
It's odd how this one was released in '81 but it has such 70's vibes. I love it either way. 💞
I don't know. In the 80s it sure felt like an 80s song.
This song is about heroin. Everyone knows it from Snatch but The Stranglers were a real honest to god punk band that sang about some serious shit.
Holy shit. I thought it was about Cairo, especially because of the music video. Well damn, that's a whole different perspective
Punk as fk..
love this song playing it for my dad R.I.P love u loads forever missed and forever in my heart :(
Addicted to this song, someone please stop me! Can't stop replaying!
I was 15 when I bought the single It's still as good as it was the first time I heard it and Now I even understand what I am listening to. The stranglers were huge and still are.
my own weed brought me here.
This guy gets it
But weed's way more HC bruh. Heroin's for puss
***** lol its about brown heroin u maniac
damn. i already know the song is about heroin.
still. its a damn good song to listen while i make some smoke :)
Oh, the shivers man! This is one of those songs you wish you could've written!
you gotta tame your ego ;-) what counts is: it exists for us all to enjoy. i'm sure you could write other formidable songs!

Yeah the shivers from withdrawal. Ahhhhhhh.
This song always makes me want to get roaring drunk and sing sea shanties all night.
screw that shoot up jk
My dad used to play this on the guitar when I was younger. Finally found it again.
One of the best songs I have ever heard. Thanks for posting. Great Band. First heard them in the film "Sexy Beast"
The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on....
First Snatch brought me here, then it was The Umbrella Academy ☔️ 😎
The best outro ever....
absolutely love this song without a doubt , my dad showed me this and i’ve loved it ever since.
Always loved this one something so frigging unique and cool about it.. Even if the subject matter is far from that, the song has a dreamy magic that captures them feels......
Everybody’s here cuz of shows, I just like the song 🤷♀️
This song is amazing, the best part starts at 2:50
