The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. The original line up was Hugh Cornwell (vocals, guitar), Jean-Jacques Brunel (bass, vocals), Dave Greenfield (keyboards) and Jet Black (drums).

“5 Minutes” is a song by English rock band the Stranglers, released in 1978 as a single. Sung by bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel, it gives an account of a rape that occurred at a shared flat in London he lived in during 1977. The lyrics, sung in both English and French, convey Burnel’s frustrations over finding the five men who committed the attack.
