"Still Hanging 'Round" is the fifteenth single by Australian pub rock band Hunters & Collectors, released on 1 February 1988. It was released as the second single from Hunters & Collectors' fifth studio album What's a Few Men?, which peaked at No. 48 on the Recorded Music NZ.[2] The B-side, “John Riley”, is a remake of a traditional song, the original version is by B. Gibson and R. Neff. "Still Hanging 'Round" was covered by Cloud Control on the tribute album, Crucible – The Songs of Hunters & Collectors (September 2013).[3]
The Canberra Times reviewer observed, "'Still Hanging 'Round' is not any different from anything else they have done none since they got bored with being boring. A song about a maudlin drunk, while not being anything new it is still enjoyable."[4] While Phil of Tharunka felt, "[it] is one of the weaker tracks from the What's a Few Men? album, its view of love through the bottom of a beer glass still far exceeds ninety-five percent of the crap on radio."[5]
