"Strangers" is a song written by Dave Davies and performed by British Rock group The Kinks. It was released in November of 1970 as part of The Kinks' LP Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One, which is best known for producing the hit single "Lola". "Strangers" is one of two tracks written by Dave Davies on the album, the other being "Rats".
Although never released as a single, it has remained popular with fans to this day, especially after it was used in the 2007 Wes Anderson film The Darjeeling Limited along with two other tracks from Lola versus Powerman. These were "This Time Tomorrow" (written by Ray Davies) and "Powerman" (co-written by Ray and Dave).
A live version of "Strangers" was recently recorded by Norah Jones and is featured on the Deluxe Edition of her 2009 album "The Fall".
