rofl... @Morticia01 beat me to it. I was just about to put up a youtube link (I don't do youtube if I can help it). There's lots of Stranglers' stuff that is wonderful but Golden Brown is amazing. Lyrics are very clever too. It was 1982 after all. So, I'm now on to No More Heroes

and that's reminded me of Redskins - Kick Over the Statues...

They need to be loud really... Extremely loud...

I'm very pleased to have been reminded of all this...

Just listened to it - I don´t get all the references (at least I know who Leo Trotzky was) 😄  This kind of music will never be made again 😕

@Morticia01 Great song! I remember, when I was ~16 I wore a t-shirt with one of their covers and did not even know who they are lol. I guess I just wanted to wear it, because it had SEX written all over it haha.

Sometimes I like to listen to songs in languages I don't speak, be it Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Russian or whatever. I have fond memories of a couple of days I spent in a Zulu village 25 years ago, and one of my cousins who used to be the lead singer in a band around then used to do roughly half of his songs in Zulu. I don't speak Zulu, but while I have a handful of Zulu songs in my iTunes library, I wanted to hear a prose poem sung in Zulu. So I wrote one and had an AI sing it, and I think it sounds beautiful. For those who are curious, this is a link to the song:

The Answer You Want (Zulu)

I'll also put the lyrics in both Zulu and English below.
