Dave Greenfield died on 3 May 2020, aged 71. He had been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection on 26 April 2020, a week before his death, during an extended hospital stay for heart-related problems. He is survived by his wife, Pam. Upon news of his death, several current and former members of the Stranglers eulogized him on social media. These included Hugh Cornwell, lead vocalist on their biggest hit, "Golden Brown", who tweeted, "He was the difference between the Stranglers and every other punk band. His musical skill and gentle nature gave an interesting twist to the band. He should be remembered as the man who gave the world the music of 'Golden Brown.'"

@@DannyBoy-vs3gd They were saying that about everyone at the time my mrs mum was in hospital around then and all of a sudden she had it as well?...........bollocks.....they had to keep people isolated and they are government funded so to keep the funds coming in they had to name anyone that died or was sick as having covid to get funding....I don't blame them at all hospitals need to make $ and most patients wern't allowed in at the time........

[@YotamPiano]

The stranglers, one of my biggest inspirations as a musician. They were so varied and versatile in their music so many different titles, I actually never liked punkrock until I heard no more heroes and its genius orchestration! always the sun is my personal favorite, golden brown, such a great classic and great song with the genius harpsichord (into pop music. hell yeah) and now this, love this over the 60s original..... other songs by the stranglers I like very much: nice in niece, all day and all of the night which did GREAT to the kinks, etc.

[@CJ--]

The Stranglers' version is practically equal to the original,the difference is the 1990 studio,which is modern in 24 years! But I like old songs,from ancient technology.

[@jackjude]

They do nothing with it, just add some horns at the end. As if they would think this is the best version.

[@domeperruzza]

Great !...

[@lduranceau8046]

A great cover of ? and the Mysterians' original version. However, the Stranglers did something very clever in this cover: following the shortened chorus, they added horns until the end of the song. What this does is add another level of sound to the song, giving the impression of 'sound coming out from everywhere imaginable', which is actually a superb idea. I can just imagine people dancing to this version. wow!

[@martindevlin225]

[@jackjude]

That's the point where the cover had a point. Otherwise its just a straight facsimile and nothing is brought to the table really. The record company probably wanted to release it as single with a video.

[@stephenedney177]

I remember this from the 10 tour - great version!

[@bodhiapurva3887]

Saw Dave once in the Red Lion pub in Barnet, North London, he was my idol, his magical hands played out some stunning chunes. The band are a shadow of what they were without him and Hugh too. Virtually as good as the original by Question Mark and the Mysterians. Crying 96 thousand tears for Mr Greenfield, what a musician and a gent.

4 de junio del 2023 - mediados de diciembre (19) del 2021 era un día nublado estaba junto a mi papá escuchando música despues de terminar de comer algo de pescado cuando mi papá puso esta canción que no recordaba y fue un gran momento de nostalgia hacia mi niñez ya que esta canción solía reproducirse continuamente en el CD De música de los 80s de mi papá cuando era bastante niño, hasta mi papá se sorprendio al escuchar esta canción en ese momento ya que habíamos olvidado por completo esta canción. Este tema es una de muchas más que me trae recuerdos cálidos y muy felices de cuando era pequeño;)
