Lyrics Below:
The jewel, the prize
Looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find
I heard a rumor -- it was just a rumor
I heard a rumor -- what have you done to her
Myriad lights -- they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights -- at your primitive best
A tourist oasis -- reflects in seedy sunshades
A monstrous oil tanker
Its wound bleeding in seas
I heard a rumor -- what have you done to her
I heard a rumor -- what have you done to her
Veiled behind screens
Kept as your baby machine
Whilst you conquer more orifices
Of boys, goats and things
Ripped out sheep's eyes -- no forks or knives
Myriad lights -- they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights -- at your primitive best
0:01 the fabled siouxsie burrito... it is said one blooms in the desert every thousand years...
Esta Fortaleza I will like a siouxsie burrito .
She is a modern Cleopatra
had a belly laugh at that one!
@@kaori_kanzaki Nice reference.
verdad que si juan carlos bodoque
my mum showed me siouxsie and the banshees a few months ago and now i'm absolutely in love with siouxsie sioux
me too!!
Great artists does not know about générations or ages, they are eternal and its music sound timeless, you made a great choice, Siouxsie and the banshees are one of the most creative and original bands of all time!
@digitally insane true !
In France, we pronouce kind of "siuksee", but i know that you must say "suzee" in the english way
@digitally insane My mom pronounces is see-oo-x-ee but i think it's meant to be pronounced Suzie
Always loved Siouxsie.
First record I bought was happy house♥️
Guess they blew all the blue screen budget on Spellbound xD
The most expressive eyes in the music industry. Her eyes cut through steel.

...diamonds too 👁
Good description. Incidentally almost never looks directly at the camera. This is one of the few videos she does.
Still one of my favourite bass lines. simple, clean and grunty. Nice chords too .
quite true. influence for The Cure, too...
kiwijohn01 yeah, it still sounds as fresh as a daisy and still eerily prescient ...
kiwijohn01 yes love the that bit where it picks up tempo.. kind of wish it lasted longer
easy peasy too
Had the same thought- Love playing this on bass like mostly all of Severins early stuff.
I have no words to describe how perfect this is
I what sense?
Guido Octavio It’s just an extremely good song
I have; sensational, gripping, emotional, wonderful, purfik.
@@guidooctavio3982 It's perfect yes, seu idiotaa!
+1
Bass ,drums,guitar and vocals Just stunning
McGeogh, how he plays a guitar to make it sounds like a keyboard is pure genius R.I.P.
The sound of the guitar on this is out of this world. John had a very unique guitar style; like Johnny Marr with effects and a more outside the box way of playing.
John McGeoch was in fact a being influencr on Johnny Marr. Both Marr and Morrissey have expressed their administration for Siouxsie and the Banshees
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 Yeah, I can see that. I still prefer this John's playing over the Smiths' anyday.
John was 1 of the best ever
John mcgeoch, never forget John Mcgeoch...what a sound RIP.
They are so good, man, literally every song is a banger.
She looks beautiful in this video
Beauitiful
I've aye thot she looked beautiful, ma face would be glued tae her gusset gvn 1/2 a chance, l'll deal wi any charges,she'd drop them like when l got charged for my dog dancing in the street,this is Scotland they dae that kinda shit.
@@davidmaccormack7067 er.. dare i ask what a gusset is?
evepv I'm Scottish so I feel I should know what it means but I've forgotten.
simp
Cracking song. All four of the band at the top of their game here - all bouncing off each other musically...welly lugging....
Those eyes just draw you in, gorgeous
This song can never be replicated.
It can be by talented musicians
YEAH YEAH YEAH Ccomes close
My 20 in the 80's..Siouxsie is the band i followed the most...20 times or more every where in Europe, from London to Berlin i saw them in concert.....and every day since i put a record of Siouxsie on my stereo....!!!!!
its impressive please interwie ?
Am I the only one that thinks the opening scene is HILARIOUS? I love the Banshees but the way they toss Siouxsie, rolled up in that rug, is just really dorky :)
I think a lot of Banshees music videos are funny. Like the falling cat in Spellbound, the kids that swamp Siouxsie at the end of Playground Twist, the music video for Happy House in general.
You're the only one
Cleopatra presented herself in a similar way to Julius Cesar
@@The_Lion_that_Barks I think that was the ideia.
@@The_Lion_that_Barks That actually only happened in a movie
A real treat even after all these decades - old school in the blood, the old days are alive .. it was nice 💖🖤🍷
Great sound 👍 Brits are definitely the best and Siouxsie's eyes just hypnotic !!!

Yup, but move there and nobody knows anything that's older than 2 years.. Weird people..
1:09 love that look of thunder on her face! looks really angry about the roomer she heard!
It's Rumour actually. 😁
Was just going to.. Never seen it spelled that way.. Anorhee bad thing about the Internet... You keep seeing the insane spelling online. I mean i could fuck up but sometimes.. I saw Die of Beeties once... Thats diabetes. And not as a joke. 😳
Very beautiful song! Siouxsie is truly the queen of goth and the priestess of rock...
The rift is pure Darkwave listen to 80's dark wave music people the the cure and other great bands sisters of mercy.
Sisters of mercy is dark wave? I hate to be that guy but I’d describe it more as heavy gothic rock
sic
Post-punk*
@@lose8447 not sure about the heavy part but yes, SOM is a gothic rock band
Love that organic drum sound. On headphones it goes right through me.
Brilliant song that doesn't get much airplay these days. I wonder why...?
Beyond loving this track, what makes me love this videoclip is the way the guys seems to be having fun doing it.
I can even imagine the scene...
Director: so boys, you'd be the Arabian Kni...
They: Lay down, Siouxsie. We toss you... Oh wait, is that a sword? F_ck, this is gonna be a gas...
John Mcgeoch....his awesome guitar riffs layed out the way for goth...Juju was his masterpiece..guitar here is superb
The drum riffs, the bass lines. Damned near perfect.
Absolutely agree with you...John Mcgeoch was exceptional.
Wish Juju had included Israel, then it would be the perfect guitar album. McGeoch's riffs were pure genius.
McGeoch is one of the greatest unsung guitarists. Johnny Marr knows.
@@wideernie mcgeoch/ Adamson. Scotlands finest guitarists

P. S
Hi from Bulgaria
thanks a lot my angel
YEAH! Fucking hard core lyrics!
@@collapsiblechair9112 racist lyrics you mean
I have the complete Banshee catalogue on cd today. Used to have them on mainly vinyl but they got lost over the years. So weird that Hong Kong Garden is not on any album...
Am I the only one listening to this fantastic song?
no way!
No your not . The message these lyrics are sharing had not yet been fully realised. Her witches hat is not by accident. It's a very disturbing story and will be coming to light very soon. Here's a clue Epstein didn't kill himself.
No
no way!
Nope
Siouxsie and the banshees songs will never get old ever green
Que magnetismo tiene esta mujer hermosa, que gran banda y que pedazo de melodía
I saw the Banshees in Scotland, 1981 tour.
I was blown away by them
AMAZING 👏 😍
I saw them too. Edinburgh Playhouse. They were brilliant! 😁
John McGeoch guitar work is amazing!!!
her eyes look into of my soul
Just pure iconic weirdness my dad showed me this amazing legend when I was so little and her lyrics are imbedded in me :)
The chorus is totally mesmerizing.
Masterpiece 🖤
Amazing band
Siouxie auf einem fliegenden Teppich! Absolut cool!!!
remenber forever 80's
أنها أغنية رائعة جدًا ، انا من احد معجبي siouxsie من العراق
لا تستانس ترى الاغنية ضدك
فرحت لان اكو احد عراقي يسمع siouxsie ^.^
@@ghostfries.ليش ضدنا
@@rimqu1 because the lyrics are quite violent and explicit, so some people think the song is racist whereas it only targets very specific violent people, and obviously not all people from middle east 🙂
كل العالم الي قالت انو الاغنية ضد العرب.انا بقول العكس تماما. بسبب انو أغنية فرسان العرب غنية بالرمزية والاستعارة، وتدعو المستمعين إلى الغوص في عالم من الغموض والمكائد. تتعمق الأغنية في سحر الشرق الأوسط الذي كان سائداً في ذلك الوقت، مما يعكس الشوق إلى المجهول والهروب من الحياة الدنيوية. إنه يتحدث عن جاذبية ثقافة مختلفة، ويدمر التصورات الغربية التقليدية ويحتضن الشعور بالتمرد.
Absolutely fantastic song :)
I can't get over how good this song is. It should be illegal to release something this fire.
Especially around 2:01, when the heavier notes on the bass hit at the same time as Siouxsie's perfect vocals.
Absolutely
Yes !!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ what did Siouxie know? What a clever woman ❤❤❤
with the great John McGeoch at the guitar !
That initial scene make me laugh a lot
Poster on the wall. She was my fantasy. And still is.
I still remember how raw and shambolic they were in the early days of Punk! Siouxsie was always unique and original! What great female artists we had back then. Music seems less exciting and original today, with so much dull auto-tuned urban dance trax!!
There's loads of great , original modern music ; you just wont hear it on daytime radio . Especially Radio 1 & 2 .
Gorgeous song I've always loved John McGeoch guiter work hes one my fav guitar players 💜👌🏻🥰
Обожаю слушать их треки.
Особенно нравятся приглушенные гитарные рифы 😍
А голос-то? Голосище! Неужто не в жилу?
@@user-yc5um2pl5v Почему же? Очень даже. Особенно эта песня нравится)
Everything here is on crack. The music, the dance, the filming, the gaze. Everything
She is the queen,her look,her outfit n her voice were amazing.when l was teenager l wanted to look like her n not just me, also my girlfriends lol
I have just discovered this group and I love them
Same
Happy birthday Siouxsie🖤
I love the 'Strange Days' nod McGeoch throws in there
Absolutely love this. John was an incredible guitarist and that bass ❤
Sheer genius, in my very top favourite Siouxsie & The Banshees tracks and videos!
More genius. I always appreciate those who go the extra 100%. 'The gift that keeps on giving.🎉
Beautiful song
Este es un temazo sea el año que sea. 2:02 mi parte favorita, ese riff es grandioso.
la guitare de john est mysterieuse et geniale!
never understood why not on Kaleidoscope .....RIP John - thanks for everything
A magic carpet brought me here... from 1981.
I am still left speechless by this song nearly half a century later. If you want truly great women's music the late 70's and early 80's had it: Lene Lovitch, Nina Hagen, Siouxsie Sioux, Kate Bush, kd Lang, Blondie, Chrissie Hynde, Patti Smith and even the original screamer, Yoko Ono, who IMHO had evolved from mere 'screamy' sound scapes to having more good melodic and quirky original songs on 'Double Fantasy' than John did and I still wear Lennon glasses!
True Icon

Sensacional !!!
Essa música é maravilhosa
I love how they have fun when they play with the swords. :)
anos 80 década da criatividade musical
Essa década foi doida
Ao extremo...
@@bersekersilva1264 década de ouro e também de loucuras em todos os sentidos.
Incredible piece of music

i love this song😍
I heard a rumour.... what have you done to her?.. another classic hits the tingle factor every time..
One of the best bands EVER!
2020 and still listening
Fantastic and still as mesmerising! Imagine a record getting radio play nowadays about how unimpressed someone is by Arabic primitive ways of keeping women veiled behind screens and as baby machines, while the man goes off having a good time with boys & goats. Or hearing a rumor about the violence against a woman!
in a few efforts, they made masterpieces
Serei eternamente fã da Siouxsie and The Banshees ❤️
Impresionante! !!!
she is my hero
this is a good song!
magic man what a great nostalgia trip
Fantastic!
CLASSIC..
it's the epic drums and the floating guitar plus the video which introduced me to the band back then in 1981-my absolute favorite track ever!
Wonderful siouxie from Italy. I miss you
Brilliant McGeoch lives through us x
Goose bumps
Perfect!
Adoro essa banda. Voz maravilhosa de Susan
Das hier ist mein absoluter Lieblingstitel der Band!
Amazing...xx
This was when they could do no wrong, that album JuJu is just littered with these great rock anthems. Seen this live quite a few times and listening to it now I am right back in the mosh pit going wild.

Adelantados a su época
pure classic
Amazing....beautiful....i love her voice....the guitars...the drummers... The video director... Unique....ho ho ho!!!
Fantastic to see the video..awesome
That's a true hit, mindblowing
Reminds me of the Fry’s Turkish Delight ad from the 80s!
Adoro esta música! Amo Siouxsie!
Finalmente um br por aqui ❤❤❤
@@amandabraga4593 Melhor banda alternativa da história, bicho
@@carlosdagustini Melhor impossível man. Descobri eles quando eu tinha meus 10 para 11 anos. Hj com quase 18 sei que vou levar essa banda no meu coração até meu último dia
@@amandabraga4593 Curiosidade: Como conheceu com apenas 10 anos? Parentes?
@@thiagocunhadeoliveira6641 pior que não. Meus parentes gostam de pagode e sertanejo. Eu sempre me interessei por músicas antigas tanto brasileiras quanto internacionais, clássica também. Então desde cedo comecei a pesquisar muito, tentando descobrir mais tesouros escondidos que agradassem o meu gosto musical kkkk. Então um dia, achei Siouxsie, esses maravilhosos.
amazing! song.
