The Stranglers siempre supieron, unas veces más afortunadas que otras, especialmente en su primera y fenomenal etapa, pero casi siempre con interés, acomodarse a las tendencias sonoras del momento. Así, con influencias de la Velvet Underground, Television, The Kinks, Zappa, The Rolling Stones, The Doors o, en general, el garage-rock/proto-punk 60’s, pasaron con facilidad del pub rock al punk, la new wave o al pop de sintetizadores, en una larga carrera principiada a mediados de los años 70.

E The boys and the girls are all dancing around Dancing all night to the crazy sound A It's the newest thing to hit this land E The boys and the girls are holding hands CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go!
E I'm with my friend Bob having a good time I got me some speed and I'm doing fine A But Bob he's not dancing, saying no sir-ee E He's got a lazy eye on a little lady CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go! CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go!

E I see we're changing partners but that's not for me I notice Bob is not joining the party A He's standing on the outside looking in E Wishing that little chickie was with him CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go!
E The party is over and we're all going home I can't find Bob so I'm leaving alone A But wait a minute, who is that I can see? E None other than Bob with that little girl on his knee CGDAE Go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go!
