Tramp (The Stranglers song)

"Tramp" is a song included as a track on the Stranglers' sixth studio album, La Folie.[1] "Tramp" was originally thought to be the ideal follow-up to their Top Ten hit single, "Golden Brown". However, Jean-Jacques Burnel convinced fellow band members that the album title track, "La Folie" was a much better choice.[2] This backfired when "La Folie" only peaked at No. 47 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
