“Golden Brown” is a song by the English rock band The Stranglers. It was released as a 7” single around late 1981 and early 1982, on Liberty.
There has been much controversy surrounding the lyrics. In his 2001 book The Stranglers Song By Song, Hugh Cornwell clearly states “‘Golden Brown’ works on two levels. It’s about heroin and also about a girl”. Essentially the lyrics describe how “both provided me with pleasurable times.”

I haven't heard this track for ages! Brings back memories. I agree with Alliban - They don't make music like this anymore indeed.

On an unrelated note, I like my chicken wings fried up until golden brown as well. Nothing to do with the song however chicken wings are a great snack when you have the munchies from the funky buddha. So there is a connection afterall............... moving on now.
