- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Official music video for the single "Babooshka" by British singer Kate Bush, taken from her album Never for Ever.
Released as a single in June 1980, it spent 10 weeks in the UK chart, peaking at number five. It was an even bigger hit in Australia, where it was the 20th best-selling single of the year.
The track features John Giblin on bass.
"Babooshka" became Bush's second top five hit in the UK and was certified silver for sales of over 250,000 by the BPI.
No matter how long I'm away... I always return to Kate.
Hi ObsoleteOddity! I watch some of your videos.
@@TomPlotagon Thanks Tom :)
ObsoleteOddity No problem! Have a good day! :D
One of my favourite YT channels is a fan of one of my favourite artists. Who would have known?
@@HandyAndyTechTips Cheers Andy, I've always been a fan of Kate's music.
being slav and watching this has me feeling weird, because never in my life have i seen a half-naked woman dancing and screaming "grandma" at the top of her lungs
I just spat out my tea laughing at your comment! Brilliant :D
God I nearly choked on my crumpet at that comment 😂
You don't have to be Slav to not have seen that.
My nickname has been babushka since forever, I was a baby when my family started calling me that. I learned its meaning when I was a little older and realized they knew all along. They knew they were calling me grandma.
Do you know Baba Yaga?
Kate doing what Kate does belting out timeless songs. Its awesome seeing these old classics becoming top chart hits again 37 years later! Amazing!
You either liked her music. Or you didn't. I didn't
@@normanberg9940 ok
Oh Kate
kkk
@@olivia5256 Female artists of that generation just never appealed to me. With the exception of Debbie Harry maybe. And I'm not entirely sure if that's not just because I had a teenage crush on her. That era was just so dominated by Queen, Roxy Music, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Spandau Ballet, OMD and so forth (Not U2, highly overrated).
The next generation however would go on to spawn all the greatest female artists, Sinead O'Conner, Dido, Alanis Morrissette, Suzanne Vega, Via con Dios and many more. They completely outshone the men of that era. To be honest, besides The Verge none of them were memorable.
That's just my opinion pf course. But over the decades my opinion hasn't changed.
I lost my parents during covid. My dad was such a huge Kate Bush fan. As soon as I hear that first chord at the start of this song, it takes me right back to being a little girl again. Sitting beside my dad in his huge work van, driving through the countryside as he takes a drag of his cigarette, and we are yelling "alllll yours!" with the windows rolled down. I miss you every day, dad. Thank you so much for leaving your love of music behind for me to show to my daughters, we love you.
What a lovely recollection. Music can evoke such strong and emotional memories. x
I feel sorry about that, but it's so wholesome that you think of that moment when you hear this song.
Covid’s a bitch, sorry for your loss.
My 💙 goes out to you!
That is such aa cool memory
❤KB
Honestly, Kate is more than a singer, she’s an artist and performer. She can really do it all, write and sing and be a visual artist.
Ela entrega
That why shes got the UA-cam For Artists symbol next to her name (the music one)
Writer composer and producer
Also a singer
She’s literally the worst thing to happen to music
“IM ALL YOURS GRANDMA-“ LMFAO- i stg ik it was a mistake but its still hilarious
I know it was a mistake but I do kind of feel like her using that name to catfish her husband gives the song another layer of meaning. Like she was hinting to him that although she is being all seductive in her letters and is making him think he is having an affair with a younger woman, she is still really his old wife.
Although calling your seductress "grandma" by mistake is still funny.
I’m polish and heard babushka used to also refer to a scarf
@Alexander Caplenor oh ok sorry for my mistake its just what i had heard what it meant
@Alexander Caplenor babushka means grandma. don't confuse people
@@arrowloll2574 babushka means grandma
Loving the fact a new generation are finding this amazing, brilliant, beautiful women I’ve been following since 1978! Yes I’m old 👵🏻😂
I'm 20, just discovered this song today and I can't seem to stop listening to it.
She joined in 2010, I think you meant you’ve been listening to her since 1978? Either way that’s awesome!
@@wisterias8408 I hope you know that to 'follow' isn't a term used only on-line, in this context it just means to be interested in something
Your not old, your old if you are 100
I used to watch this everytime when I was 10 but now I'm back
Kate Bush was so iconic for what ever it is she's doing in this video
@lemonvalkyrie1521 And this is just one of a few dozen videos. There is more to her than just this one theatrical entry.
"was so iconic"-Do you have any idea what your cliche ridden brain is trying to say?
"was so iconic"...Do you have any clue as to what you are trying to say? Cliches say nothing...
@James-pq3qq probably iconic as in "memorable, significant, special, rare" but that's just me understanding the word in this context. Maybe you think they were commenting on the framerate of the video or how the sky is blue. Maybe you could argue it if you don't know what iconic means eh? You could always just google the word james and find it makes sense in the context of ops sentence.
@@javaras6674 Right?? You said that so well! The fact that he commented that twice too like why is he hating 😭
Kates going viral. Deserved.
Yes, it is. She's wonderful
And some ...class act 👌
Talent is timeless.
She's at No. 1! 😃
@Hisduchess But it was, and now she is. Better she is discovered by a new generation through Stranger Things, than never discovered at all.
I was pregnant with my daughter Kate when this came out...For some reason everytime i hear it years after, I get that morning sickness feeling ...how weird how music leaves a mark in strange ways sometimes.
Is she named after Kate Bush?
I feel the same about Orinoco Flow by Enya :)
That's fascinating. Sense memory is a powerful thing.
That’s beautiful!
Tunes are the pins that transfix the butterflies of nostalgic memories.
To everyone commenting on why she uses the Russian word for grandmother to depict a sexy temptress, Kate explained in an interview once that she popped the name into the song, assuming it had come from some fairy tale she’d heard as a child, and that it just sounded right. She didn’t learn until later that it meant ‘grandmother.’
I was wondering about that too! Thinking the whole time, "damn that must be one hell of a cougar if she's singing about grandma like that"
It might be a coincidence but it kinda goes with the lyrics if you overthink a bit
Then again, if it weren't for our grandmas being sexy at some point, none of us would be here
Well grandmas can be sexy
Did she get it confused with 'Baba yaga'? I could see that happening.
Every teenage boy was in love with Kate when this came out. Good times.
Agreed!
Ik she used babushka as a mistake but I like to think in way it’s intentional. She’s
doing this because she’s an old women and using that as her fake name is so powerful. She’s kinda showing him how “yeah I’m old and maybe someone’s grandma but I can still make you fall in love me” that’s the babooshka power haha
that's exactly what i thought the whole song meant???
Superior interpretation
What was it meant to be?
@@leleticiaa yeah but she didn’t know what babooshka meant. She used it cause it sounded cool
@@alibyxe6400 well the usage of babooshka was cause it sounded good haha
I love how in all her songs, she tells a story.
ON GOD 🙌🏼
Thats pretty much how all songs go of you never noticed
@@leofinallyunderstands omg really? Most songs are people just yapping about fucking. But like her songs are detailed and focused on a certain thing
@@leofinallyunderstands also her songs hold a lot of emotion instead of just singing lyrics.
@@tr..sh.lover.493idk what ur listening to, that’s not what most music is about lmao
How can a song sound so modern get so much like the time the song was released
You should listen to her The Dreaming album. Released in the early 80s but it’s more daring than like 99% of music now lol
exactly
History repeats
A lot of indie has roots in 60’s and 70’s music lol (granted this was 1980 but still close enough)
Because of amazing production. 1980 was a brilliant year for music generally.
Her ability to tell a story is genius
The 70’s and 80’s were definitely creative times I can’t find much like this anymore
As an experiment I looked up the UK Top 40 and picked 3 songs at random to watch the videos. It was truly dire stuff.
Nonsense! That's cos you're not looking in the right places. There's plenty of _phenomenal_ modern music being made.
Yeah there's a lot of shite rn, but no doubt there was also a lot of shite being made in the 70's & 80's. It's just easier for rubbish music to find a platform these days
@@DodgyDaveGTXList some songs
Sia, Robyn, Aurora..
@@lewisnerthat's mainstream music, you won't find Kate Bush type music there at all. You need to look at more left field and alternative music.
Still can't get over the fact that she's basically screaming 'granny' at the top of her lungs and that it's supposed to be a sexy pseudonym, but holy balls do I feel this song in my very soul. Those vocals, that haunting chord progression, that fretless bass singing along, it's all great stuff.
@Jessica Buttgereit ask Elton John he cant write for toffee .... she was writing this at 17 ... what was you doing slipping a finger in yourself thinking you were a woman
granny in russian is "Babushka" not babooshka lol
WHEN does she sing those words???? Mmmm
I love how she isn’t saying grandma, babooshka is the name of the woman she is pretending to be, aka a younger version of her to see if her husband would be faithful in their relationship. You can tell she doesn’t mean “babushka” or grandma because it’s “babooshka” not “babushka”
@Jessica Buttgereit So? This isn't a video about Taylor Swift, who is nowhere near as creative as Kate Bush.
Anyone else notice that like in almost 40% of all her songs there’s a glass shattering sound effect in there somewhere? I just love that lmao
I just realized it’s because it was the signature sound on the fairlight, the first sampler she used 😅
Great observation! I've probably heard that sound in her songs ten thousand times since the 80s, and never realized it was in so many 🧐
@@aidandelgass4701 not just the first sampler she used but the first sampler period. She was one of the pioneers of using sampled sounds. She was also one of the first people to make and use a headset mic-the first one was a wire coat hanger with a mic attached to it so she could move while dancing on her 1979 Tour of Life. She’s insanely innovative.
@@razrv3lc so true 😤 she and innovation are synonymous
Sound effects from the Fairlight appear in her other songs too, like a train whistle at the end of Cloudbusting, as well as shipping forecasts in And Dream of Sheep
So amazing to see this again. My first recollectable encounter with Kate Bush was in the Royal Norwegian Navy in 1981 or '82. One of the guys was a super fan, and had collected every cassette tape he could find, and I was intrigued by what I was hearing. Later in 1982 I started studying Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland (yes, we did have real computers even long before that). Some time that year (or maybe '83) I happened into an electronics superstore in Waverley Market and came across the first LaserDisc player I'd ever seen. I can't recall having seen one again, but who cares, it was playing Kate Bush and Babooshka. Everything around my experience is in vivid memory to this day: the amazing idiosyncrasy of everything Kate Bush did , the LaserDisc player and technology (this was live video and music off of a disc in 1982, and I didn't even have a television), the superbly presented high end electronics superstore, and of course the enigmatic and totally mesmerizing Kate Bush herself. Such an incredibly innovative and creative talent, totally "left field", doing nothing like what anybody else was doing. Incredibly, 30 years later I found myself living just up the road from the Rose of Lee pub in South London where she did her first live performance. Kate Bush is arguably far removed from my musical heart ("black" music -- soul, dance, house, reggae, latin) but a first class seat in my heart is permanently reserved for her.
This woman has made so many iconic songs that have returned after a few years. Love them all
they never went anywhere, YOURE ALL just catching up haha i bet she LOVES it too :)
@@DaiSenshiMounir so, so true man..
They never went away
@@DaiSenshiMounir Well, I just replaced all of the albums in my vinyl collection. So she's making money out of me as well.

The fact that this is my son (1991)'s favourite song is reason enough for me to feel confident I have not totally failed as a mother.

WHOT DO YOU MEAN 40 YR OLD
@@portiathetoxicrabbit3393 The song is around 40 years old, the video isn’t that old because UA-cam didn’t exist back then.
“Babooshka” by English singer and songwriter Kate Bush tells the story of a mature wife who is feeling insecure in her marriage. So to ascertain how faithful her hubby is, she initiates a scheme to send him love letters but under the disguise of another woman by the name of “Babooshka”.
“Babooshka” is actually a representation of wife’s younger self who she feels her husband would be more attracted to than who she actually is in the present. The ultimate conclusion and thus meaning of the song has been interpreted in various ways. Babooshka’s generally interpretation is that the wife, in successfully tempting her husband with the promise of another woman, ended up destroying their relationship. However, it has also been suggested that ultimately the wife realizes that she indeed is “Babooshka” and in the process regains the desired admiration of her husband.
ugh not me misspelling disguise as guise😭
why do i have so much like thingys
damn shawty ty
ohhhh- as someone who speaks russian as his 1st language- i thought she was trying to say grandma and mispronounced it really badly.

Actually one of the textbook examples of “when you’re happy you enjoy the music, when you’re sad you understand the lyrics”
Absolutely. Another textbook example is Stoney End sung by Barbra Streisand which mixes the upbeat melody with the tragic lyrics to great ironic effect.
Another example of an upbeat melody but sad lyrics is Luka by Suzanne Vega
The lyrics have the same plot as The Pina Colada song 😂
I must be happy because I can’t understand the lyrics ???
@@isaackellogg3493basically she wanted to test her husband whether he would simply fall into her catfishing shit or not, so she used a pseudonym and started sending letters, as expected the husband got the letters and started reading it. So to test further, she decided to meet him with her character, thus putting her marriage at risk due to paranoia that she's getting old
I was 18 when this was released. OMG I've never got over it! The widow's weeds for the song were so so, but the chorus - well that's another matter. I don't think I'd ever looked at a woman like that before...........................and even now, seeing it so long after it was released, I still get that "frisson" that I got then. Such a beautiful woman! Thanks Kate.

@@kieran40k89 like?
Kate Bush was the originator but Tori Amos was definitely inspired by her voice and theatricality, and St Vinncent was inspired by her electronics.
I personally prefer Kate Bush, but you can definitely hear traces of her in other musicians.
@@pipergc3469 but to have her range... Unlikely
@Akash Jha 👏👏👏
I remember when I was 6, I would play this song over and over. So lucky have parents with great music taste. I love how all of Kate's songs tell these enthralling stories.
That is so wonderful!!
That IS lucky! I was trying to overcome Jim Nabors and others that I only now appreciate. But then? Just, no.
Im the same. My mum would play led zepp, deep purple, fleetwood mac, guns n roses, Rush and loads of others, obvs kate bush. I do the same with my kids now. My wife likes stuff from all the way back to the 50s, so theres quite a range of music in the house.
this song legit changed how I listen to music permanently. I remember like 3 years ago when my father (who is a huge kate fan) showed me this for the first time and it blew my mind. I'd easily put this in my top 10 favorite songs of all time, so I'm stoked beyond explanation to see the rest of gen z finally starting to notice this song
Your father has the best taste 😉
@@beathusk1018 he sure does! I heard about oingo boingo, the pixies, soul coughing, weezer, radiohead, the clash, and vampire weekend because he played them around me all the time when I was little. I owe my music tastes to him :^)

I loved the 70's. Kate is one of the reasons. Countdown on Aussie tv on a Sunday afternoon was never to missed. The new and greatest artists always presented by dear old Molly.
I have to say, this is genius level creativity. The dance, the words, the music, the facial expressions, the whole thing is hypnotically haunting. Absolutely amazing!
It’s not that creative bro calm down 💀

@Tom this was very innovative for its time.
@@Tom-tf1duYou live in this hyper colorful world of media and yet forget that creativity is a legacy, she is a creative force for her time.
She's always been amazing! The words are powerful. How she changes her eyes from wide to sinister. It's all in the story being told. Kate was and is the queen of indie.
I was 10 years old when this video was released. I used to freeze in front of the TV watching Kate Bush dressed as Valkyrie and wishing the video would never end. I'm glad that newer generations are discovering this phenomenal artist 40 years later.
I did thanks to MTV 80s. I was born in 1988 so i'm too young to remember the 80s.

Awesome comment! Doesn't matter if you're a youngster coming from TikTok or someone who loved her before smart phones were even invented.
This single was released in 1980, so actually 42 years old.
Tiktok is run by commie China, you know this right? Sad there are so many Tiktok puppets so eager to give it all away.
Agreed! I started listening to Kate a few years ago and my dad has been a fan since he was a teen himself in the 80's. we regularly "nerd-out" over her music
She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym
To fool him
She couldn't have made a worst move
She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like
His wife
But how she was before the tears
And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see
If he
Would fall for her incognito
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny
How she
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out
I'm all yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
All yours

Well said 👏👏👏👏☺️I love everything about her. She knew when to step back, and get on with raising her son. She’s awesome, the complete creative package in my view. She so deserves the interest from a new generation and the success that brings this time around. 🇬🇧
She spoke - SCREAMED - truth in her lyrics and her videos to the patriarchal society of which we American females are more than ever now under their thumbs in 2023. We're regressing, not progressing. But in the end, the only losers will be the patriarchs.

I only recently discovered more of her music, and all I can say is... damn! I wish the radio stations hadn't deprived people of her wonderfulness! I guess people thought that U.S. audiences would think her other songs were too weird. Over here, some folks do have poor tastes when it comes to music, but some of us love Kate's innovative and totally unique style. She doesn't mimic anyone else; it all just comes out of her mind.
She really knows how to express herself! She's intense of course sexually and artistically! You got to respect her!
+Skye ID They didn't play much Kate Bush on Norwegian radio back in the day, but I fell in love with her music in the 80's, have most of her CDs, and have been a huge fan ever since then. She's an enigma and she sings poems. I have the same 'love affair' with French singer Mylène Farmer. They are both brilliant and speak to my soul. Watch the Kate Bush 2015 BBC documentary here on UA-cam!
People who find her weird are not comfortable with themselves.
+Skye ID my god, Kate was one of the sexiest women alive, she just wrote as she saw, listen to the man with......god....she wrote that at 14, gilmore helped her produce the tune, well, seen the beauty in her music
+Skye ID Hey there Skye ID....Over in Melbourne ( Australia ) we have a radio station that's totally supported by donations & run by volunteers. This station has NO set play lists & No adds...The DJ'S / announces play whatever they feel like ( including profanity tunes ) This station has introduced myself & countless others to music that I thought never existed...I have been a paid member for at least 5 years now & I feel that I'm actually part of a community ! Of course you can pick it up on the web WWW.RRR.ORG.COM.AU The station is called 3RRR FM 102.7 MHz B.T.W Kate Bush rocks !
I've been a fan of Kate Bush for many years. She is a unique, lovely, creative genius with a great voice. 😊
Songwriter, composer PRODUCER. A musician.
I know Kate Bush didn't know the meaning of the word "babooshka" at the time of writing the song, but I think it actually fits spectacularly?
The story behind the song is that of a woman who wants to test her husbands loyalty because she fears that her husband thinks she has became ugly and old. She writes him letters from an alias and makes him fall in love with "Babooshka".
It has the unintentional meaning of blindly following that which sounds beautiful. The husband betrays his aging wife in favour of "Babooshka", literally "grandma".
I like to pretend that in the world of the song the wife knowingly choose this alias to see if her husband would she through the persona or sense something was off. But her husband, only being able to see things for what they are on the surface, never did. I also like to pretend that this was the wife empowering herself through the word babooshka - reclaming her right to age and seeing herself as an old AND powerful woman.
Edit: Hi, everyone! This comment got a lot more attention than I expected so I just want to clarify something really quick: I am aware that there are many other interpretetions of this song, but this is just the story and reading I came up with. If you have any other opinions feel free to share them in the replies but please be nice and respectful to eachother. That's it and I hope you have a nice day :)
I like that interpretation, it fits with the theme of the song and video, which clearly depict a woman taking back her power in a marriage gone stale. The lyrics tells a really intriguing and original story with clarity and passion. Just love how sexy and strong KB looks in her 'warrior goddess' guise, WOW!
I also like how Babooshka in the lyrics also kind of sounds like; Ka(te) boosh (bush) ka yaya, referring to herself behind the alias
@@chocom.5392 Never thought of that! Everything about the song fits - it's simply genius.
Bravo.
She's an intelligent woman and knows what she's doing.
I think she's amazing.
Thanks for explaining it for me ; was beginning to think it was just another name for vagina .
Listened to the song weathering heights and fell down a Kate Bush rabbit hole. But it was a good choice
Me too I had a dream I was back in my teenage bedroom listening to my kate Bush vinyl singing along to Wuthering Heights.
Sameee
Me jew
Did you mean Wuthering Heights?
Same lol
Genius, creative beyond words, she really is an icon, no one like Kate Its 10pm in Scotland and I have hounds of love playing, with a glass of wine before heading out, always gets me in mood
Most people in America have never even heard of her, if you can believe it.
This is so true, I'm Irish, been living in the US for 10 years and nobody knows who she is! This really shows today's "music" up as the trashy junk it really is
LL 0777, It also shows up the music companies for not advertising her music in the States. If she had been put on MTV at the beginning (albeit a year or two after this came out) her sales would have rocketed because people don't go out looking for music. They need it spoon fed to them by the industry.
LEE VIEW, It is nice (if you are Scottish) that you appreciate this English singer. A sassy sassenach, eh?
I consider it funny that here are many reports that only 40% of Americans have a passport - like it's a "bad" thing.
Love the dancing in the single light at the end and the costume and sword ❤ really accompanies the shattering sound well
This young lady was so far ahead of her time, simply stunning.
Never thought of her as ahead of her time. She was right where she should have been. Big in the UK, the US didn't seem to get her, and what I'm reading is they still find her a bit "spooky, odd witch like" I even read today. None of these words would have been how she was described when I first heard her when I was in school and Wuthering Heights charted. Love her, glad she's reaching a new audience. 💃💃💃💃💃
@@jelly-baby Very big in Australia also.
@@jelly-baby To be fair her most successful song reached new heights 30 years later.
@@jackieblue1267 Yep. Saw her on Aussie Countdown circa 1979. What a babe. My wife was jealous.
@@jelly-baby Not in Canada. Many of us loved her and still do.
I love how parents show their kids these songs and then 10 years later we are frantically looking up the songs because they were just absolute bops. God bless my mother and her incredible music taste. I also show her artists I like and she is dancing to them and man I just wanna say I love my mum.
You mother has great taste in music for sure! 😊
So many mothers would love to listen/read a love declaration like that.
I know a great song for you and your mom to listen it mask sus remix
HAHA you have a healthy relationship with you mother!
Take that!!
My Babooshka was the very embodiment of kindness. She always spoiled me, cooked the most delicious treats for me and sang our Russian lullabies to me. Babooshka - grandmother- care and love !
all i can think about is the guy who dances to this every time he smokes
AGAHSHSJAJS
What guy?
SAME
@@hedvigjohansson7964 @babooshka111 on tik tok
We should all be like babooshka111
This song is immortal. John Giblin's bass is possibly the best bass track in a pop song.
It's incredible she did this back in 1980. She was just so ahead of her times. I was like 2 years old when she did this!
I was 32 and loved it when it came out. Breath of fresh air.
I didn’t even exist 😂
@@jasonburns4071 i was the fresh air at that time, i was only 2. Hahaha
I wasn't even a thought yet. 😭😭 1986
@@ShhheilaASMR same 🤣😭
Maybe we'll see Kate Bush's other songs making a return and reaching the top spot like Running Up That Hill. This shocked everyone outside England. But for many of us we all knew Kate Bush was far underrated. Kate Bush's number one single has simply catapulted Kate Bush back in to the charts - at the top. Thank you Kate Bush for doing what you do best.
Absolutely! Well said.
couldnt agree more
I wrote a fan mail and ummm i was and am having a hard time but like you probasbly havre it worse. I wrote fanmail to netflix after season 3 with some critisms and ideas... i didnt want them to use my ideas i thought they were bad... they used a few of them. Netflix is amazing.
Hi Paul.. I don't think everyone outside of the UK was shocked by Kate's return. I'm a Canadian. Seven years older than Kate and I remember falling in love with Wuthering Heights when it came out in the late seventies. Both my husband and I have been Kate fans for many, many years and there is a whole country of Canadians who are so happy that she is once again being recognized for the genius she is. :)
Kate bush has always rocked.
Congratulations Kate, for the stunning coming back.
What are you talking about ?
@@beathusk1018 Other song of hers "Running Up that Hill" has shoot up to number one in the charts after nearly 40 years, thanks to the song being featured in the 4th season of Stranger Things in netflix (the series takes place in the 80s)
@@enriquedossantos3283 Yes and I'm really happy! Young people have to know Kate!
she never went away
@@seasorolla Never in my heart for sure 😊
Kate Bush Babooshka is one of my personal favorite song
Me too
I understand why beautiful song and artist❤❤.
This song was a monster smash in 1980 Australia. It is my first memory of a music video. The magnificent and theatrical Kate Bush performing an absolute classic. It was a thrill every time we heard it play on the radio in the car and on Saturday morning television. I was 10 ❤.
The chorus features the word "grandmother" not only in Russian (babooshka), but also in Greek (Yaya). Kate was unaware of both instances at the time she wrote the song, but that is one pretty big coincidence.
How can you say babushka coincidentally. And even more, say yaya after that? 🤔🤔🤔
fits pretty well with the fact that they are meant to be old and hallowed until they take up the mantle
@@MrCiberCiber listen to the lyrics, it's about a woman who tests her husband's infidelity by sending him letters in the name of another woman. the name she chose was babooshka, but it wasn't supposed to mean grandma.
I never new that, thanks.☺️
Tf am i watching?
Iconic, What a Woman, what a Musician, what a composer, what a singer!
The whole package!
what a dancer.
@@Jo-Jo8vs Yes, Sure, Sorry - i forgot!
I remember when this song came out. I was about 7, and thought it was amazing! Still do at the age of 52.
Kate Bush is a creative genius.
She'll be remembered long after other lesser artists have faded from cultural memory.
Testify.
I know Kate Bush because of my mom, and I'm glad that people are appreciating her music again. Especially the aot fandom that i'm in :)
Did you listen to all her albums ?
@@beathusk1018 Yes. "Hounds Of Love" is my favourite, but all her albums are great
@@iwanttoresettheuniverse4870 I love all her songs except Eat the Music
@@beathusk1018 Eat The Music is an iconic bop periodt
@@NathanHautain Yes but I don't like it though 😕
i literally listen to this song every day
So do I 😍
No need to say literally,we believe you 🤷♂️😂👍🏻

I loved this as a child in the 70s and 80s. As I got older many years later I truly understood and appreciated the lyrics. Awesome!
I'm an 80s kid and love that era of music. One of my friends asked, "what do you think of Kate Bush's music?" I honestly don't remember her or hearing any of her songs. He Insisted I go listen to Wuthering Heights. I Instantly fell in love. Her voice is so beautiful and other-worldly. I then listened to Running up that Hill and then this. I'm so upset that I've never heard of her before (or just don't remember), but very glad that my friend introduced me to her music. I'm a big fan now. :)
You must have grown up in America like me, you really have to seek her out. She is so talented, no one else compares.
A local TV station in my Midwestern hometown showed 2 hours of videos on Saturdays before cable came around in the 80s, with plenty of clips from UK artists like Kate, Bowie and such. The same station would also relay Toronto's MuchMusic channel late at night, so I saw plenty of her stuff before I was a teen, even. Then, I thought she was a weirdo. Once I turned 15 and heard her again, I realized she was a genius.
If you were an 80s kid like me, it's more likely your mum was listening to her. This isn't music for children but I did find this on my mum's mixtape in the 80s and loved it. I didn't really discover her properly til my early 20s.
Same here.
I was a preteen when she first appeared on MTV; I don’t always recall knowing what her lyrics meant (because of my age) but I absolutely LOVED her voice and how stunning her videos were.
this women is absolutely hypnotizing. Fucking masterclass artist.
Keep it in your pants
@@certainlysonja grimes messed that up by marrying elon musk 🤢🤢🤢

Im guessing you're from the kingdom aye'
Bad language is wrong
I fell in love with this song as a kid and have loved kate bush ever since. So happy to see new generations falling in love with her as well ❤️
She's always been a ...unique..artist. Very talented
Absolute KILLER of a song: the imagery…the lyrics….the transition from the “cold and forgotten” wife covered in a black veil…into this amazingly seductive and powerful woman…the same woman!!! Brilliant, just bloody brilliant! 💜💜💜💜
watch this video closely. choreography, facial expressions, emotive vocals, outfits, lyrics. Kate Bush is superb and exquisite to the ears as well as the eyes. This is Art and she had a brilliant team working with her.
Just amazes me how such a talented artist dislikes performing live so much.
Probably informs us that she is not the narcissist that is needed to perform in front of 1000s.
A pity for us but respect to her.
Same with Enya
Such a unique performer, there's none like her.
Nah she reminds me way too much of my middle school choir teacher
@@legallypumpkin You're lucky.
Heard her once commenting on how she worked 3 different skills into her music, Mime, dance and song. The song she considered her best success in this was Wuthering Hieghts.
Hypnowave well he’s dead so your comment is stupid
I agree.
My mom used to play this all the time while I grew up, and to this day this is my favourite Kate Bush song.
Do you have kids so that your mom is also a babooshka by now and still playing this gem 😊?
@@DirkOhde Lovely comment haha. I am 31 now and I am in a relationship. Hoping to possibly have a child in the next years or so. I do want my mother to become a babooshka as well. 😅
I'm super late to the game but the other night, after I couldn't sleep, I decided to check out Kate Bush on a whim. It was like an epiphany! Seriously, she's with Bowie, Prince, and Bjork to these ears--just from an entirely different plane of existence, far ahead from the rest of the pack. I'm honestly overwhelmed by her originality and can't wait to dig into more of her music.
I'll always be grateful to the aliens who brought her and David Bowie to Earth. Special talents.
I just had the same epiphany a year later. And "epiphany" is a really great word to term it. She's been existing in a completely invisible parallel-plane my entire life. It took 30 years to gather all the right tools to appreciate her and her work.
I just decided to do the same thing. She's amazing. Better than Björk imho.
I heard about her through someone I met about 4 months ago. A volunteer at the shop I volunteer at who is just as big a Kate bush fan as you’ll ever meet. He’s been a fan right from the beginning.
i have loved kates music my whole life! Thank you for your genius.
i've never wanted to be a bass more in my life
😂
To be honest, if I was that double bass, I'd be confused af. Like, why is this woman SHAKING ME?! *That is not how I should be played.*
timeless anthem, this song gives you goosebumps, no matter what time you're listening to it. so amazing!
The laugh gets me every time
AGREED
One of the things I love about her is how she made mad crazy artistic performances that got right into the mainstream. Back when tv was limited, her appearances got into millions of viewers homes so we were all introduced to her creative flair. Original, unique and never afraid to be bizarre and different.
It’s weird then that it’s only 2022 that I’m discovering her now and to be fair I was 10 when going up that hill came out and I listened to pop back then and I was never once exposed to her music
I’m not understanding all the love I’m not overly impressed
@@SuperSarahbop you will be, one day
@@ShineMedia1 4 months later and I still am meh about the hype

Everytime I watch this I keep my self frozen. Her Dancing, her outfit her choreography, her story ... perfect

all i think about while listening to this song is Yelena from aot
Yess tall queen 🥵
Yesss queeen
As you should😌💅
YES
RIGHT
I love how her songs tell stories.
Absolutely right. And the maturity of her songwriting was staggering. I was 14 when this came out, and it took me until about 35 to really understand it. I'm now 55, and still think she's a solid gold genius.
Every song does sara
@@Tom-tf1du you've probably never heard a reggaeton song
@@Tom-tf1dunah most songs are about fucking
It's a pity it's taken me to get into my 40s to appreciate how unique, original and ridiculously talented this woman actually is. I could blast this track on repeat all day... ❤
lol. Me too. I have been a fan since the first day I heard Wuthering Heights on the radio way back in 1978. But, it's not until 2022 that I (apart from The Whole Story - which I already had on CD) bought her studio albums and now listen to them on constant rotation. A long overdue deep dive. lol
Music from the 24th century, starting before 1980, when she was still in her teens
Wow, this song takes me back. Remember fancying her in 1980, and first seeing her on tv.
I am here in July 2020. This song never gets old. My husband and I are listening to it during our road trip. Kate is a genius.
She's the best woman in music ever
Be careful, you know quarentine haha...
