- Reacting to my new wave QUEEN. What a great flashback! One of the best hits of the 80's alternative scene. A song that is still relevant 29 years later.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - / @siouxsieandthebanshees
This is my favorite New Wave song of the 90's? What was yours?
Peekaboo-Siouxsie and the Banshees....my sister and I danced like idiots in the living room watching the video on MTV. Remember when they actually played music videos??🤣
I definitely love spellbound and the Staircase
Would like to hear Dear Prudence by The Creatures which was Siouxsie and Budgie from the Banshees great song. The UK had hundreds of great 80's songs that never made it across the pond and it's nice to see you playing some nice diverse tracks from the era, love your enthusiasm for the greatest music decades of the 80's and 90's, I would like to suggest quite a lot of obscure tracks for your channel from the UK! that I think would be well received and never charted in the US. Here's a few The Adventures-Broken Land, Voice of the Beehive-I Say Nothing, Lene Lovich-It's You Only You, King -The Taste of Your Tears, Sparks -When Do I Get To Sing My Way to name but a few
@@boojiboy6236 I only know of the Siouxsie and The Banshees version of Dear Prudence ua-cam.com/video/M6rrTROoZIw/v-deo.html , when Robert Smith was "temping" with the band. Was there another version by The Creatures?! Meanwhile...Sparks? There's an obscure one! I (like to) think that in Canada, we had a bit of an edge over the U.S. when it came to first hearing and welcoming so many greats bands of the 2nd British Invasion. Music that has stood the test of time.
@@MadcapShambleton Thanks for the reply!, my apologies! for some reason I thought The creatures released Dear Prudence but it was Siouxsie and the Banshees, and I am glad in Canada you were more fortunate to hear a lot of British bands that the US missed out on. Sparks have just recently released their 25th Album to critical acclaim in the UK!
I just played this song for my 14yo daughter and she went freaking ballistic over her. There is hope for the future!
That’s so wonderful!
I love how this has no down votes. Siouxsie is eternal
You shouldn't have said that,as some moron has done it,probably in spite.
I remember the very day I first heard this song. It was a bright, sunny afternoon in Southern California near the end of the school year. I was visiting a friend when I overheard this from the living room. I immediately dropped what I was doing, ran to the TV, and was utterly entranced until it was over. The sound just blew my 11-year-old mind. I became a fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees ever since.
What an awesome memory. I love that our music is so enduring and classic.
Okay as usual I'm late to the party
Don't think she can top this but what are some other good ones?
I only found Siouxsie and the Banshees last week and I already love them. From someone who mostly listens to music from the mid 2000s I can say this is a banger and a half
OMG I was "Spellbound" when I saw her at Lallapalooza '91. She is so talented and beautiful, I get butterflies every time I hear this song!
That year was the best lineup by far. Souxie along with Rollins band and Jane's Addiction!
every club I went to in the 90’s and every time they played this song I just grabbed my beer and went straight to the dance floor by myself and always ended up dancing with at least 3 girls at the same time 🥳 just dancing and nothing else’ I never did this for any other song and kindly thank each girl 😢... this all came to an end when I finally fell in love with that one chick that puts a stop to all this fun 😬!
Still listening to this at age 68, love her style and the feeling I get. Kudos to you... Excellent pick. Do Peek a Boo also. Thank you.
Thanks for listening! She is awesome!!
I saw Siouxsie & The Banshees open for David Bowie on the Glass Spider Tour at Angel Stadium in 87. It changed my life!
I was there, too! 👍🏼
Siouxsie Sioux's cryptic lyrics were an ode to actress and sex symbol Jayne Mansfield
Not to mention the breaking glass imagery. Poor dear died in a car accident.
We came out of a party in the Hollywood Hills and went to party on the Sunset Strip in L.A. We heard this song going on in an off the beat club, walked in, and there she was with the band singing this tune. We were absolutely floored!!! Such good times long ago!!!
You are the only person who stands up and dances during your reaction videos! Yes! Go on, girl! I'm dancing with you! 💖💖💖
Yes, this one makes you want to be on the dance floor!!! Anybody wanna dance?
I may have been a toddler in 1991, but, later in life, I learned how many great things came out that year. This is no exception.
March 2023. I just watched your video. I loved seeing you groove and smile to the tune. I smiled all the way through it. Great tune. Thank you for posting it and being so cool. Cheers!
My favorite Siouxsie song.
Love this. As soon as the song started you were dancing and smiling. You can see you really love her. I grew up listening to them as my parents were punks in the 70s/80s and my mum styled herself on siouxie
Your Mum sounds amazing!🤩
I’m 26. Best song ever. Makes me cry: this song got me through a lot
Nice! Recently "re-"discovered Siouxsie Sioux after being far too long off my radar; going through a renewed "phase" of The Cure as well. How I wanted to look like her back in '80's high school but didn't have the confidence. She is truly masterful, and it's been great to catch up on old interviews to really see her good nature and intelligence.
This was the first cd I bought. It's amazing how closely your playlist mirrors mine! You rock!
What a perfect song. What a voice, my goodness. I went through a very intense Siouxsie phase when I was 16. I mean, nonstop listening of everything they ever made. I love that their stuff is mainstream enough that a 16 year old can dig it and yet edgy enough to reach major musicophiles.
I love this song - but you can't beat Hong Kong Garden. Classic.
Hermosa
Absolutely love her music and music! Timeless
Does this ever happen to you? I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head. I probably haven't heard it in 5-10 years. it took me a few minutes to place the name of the song and singer.
One of my favorite UA-cam things to do is watch reactors to movies and TV. They cut out all music because that gets copyright claimed immediately. I am glad you found a formula that allows you to enjoy and review music! That is one thing I have been missing.
Perfect song 💯
Perfect Siouxsie 💯
Good god girl! I never comment, but you are Exquisite and your judgment of Siouxsie is beyond belief. All hail the Ice Queen!
Thank you : ) It warms my heart to know people still recognize true talent like her. Hail to the QUEEN!
For the longest time I remembered hearing a song that I absolutely loved and for the life of me couldn’t remember who sang it or the song (I thought it was the Cardigans but it wasn’t). Low and behold this song finally played on Sirius XM and I flipped out! This was less than a year ago and I’m 50 now! This song is now one of my top 10 all time songs
Spellbound would be my favourite her and her band. Lot of other great stuff from The Scream (Mirage), Kiss in The Dreamhouse (Circle, She's A Carnival), Happy House, The Staircase (Mystery) but this is a lovely late effort where she looks naturally beautiful without all the iconic makeup and the style is different but recognisably Siouxsie. She was definitely a presence, a lot of stage charisma and that distinctive voice. One of the strong female new wave icons of the 80s (along with Kate Bush, Chrissie Hynde, Annie Lennox and Debbie Harry amongst others)
This is by far my favorite Siouxsie tune, with Dear Prudence a close second. BTW you have a beautiful smile.
When this song came out, my friends and I literally lost... our... shite. It still bumps.
Back in the day in Chicago there was a show called JBTV on in the middle of the night. This guy Jerry Bryant worked in radio or radio advertising during the day and played obscure and new music videos at night. He was really invested in showing new bands and British ones that maybe didn't get a lot of airplay in the US. That's where I saw this video and got it on VHS tape. I still associate the song with being 18 and naive and, well, in love with the wrong person 😄
I want to review YOU: I love the way your face lights up when Souxie first appears. I can see the reverence (if I may) on your face for this legend of punk music. Thanks for the review.
I'm a "boomer" and I love her too. So did many of my "old" friends.
I love the joy on your face -I have the same! 🤣
Great song, def in the top 5 new wave tracks on that era. Pretty In Pink, Bela Lugosi's Dead, Johnny Hit N Run Pauline, Like a Prayer
NAILED IT
If this song was played today at an electric music festival-people would lose their minds dancing to this hypnotic transcending journey.
In Goth Style or just in Her natural look Susan Janet Ballion is stunningly Beautiful,What a Talent and i was so lucky to see her Live back in 1981.
yes, this song IS that good. I played it all day and watched the video too on October 24, 2021.
Can't get enough Siouxsie
Oh how I miss Siouxsie. Nobody like her before or since.
All hail the Queen!! She was great!
I saw her beautifulness 5 times.
She was always like a goddess.
I tossed a eucalyptus leaf on stage and she picked it up, and
pranced off stage.
You are definitely not partial. SIouxsie Sioux is timeless and has continued to attract people of all generations. It is not uncommon to find younger and younger crowds getting into her music.
As they should, he work is incredible!
OMG - the QUEEN of punk!!!!! *bows to the queen*
Sorry, I forgot about "Swimming Horses" and "The Killing Jar". See, now I have to go listen to those now!
It’s a deep cut, but I love SATB’s Green Fingers! Fireworks, overground, swimming horses, sleepwalking, so many classic songs. We got to see her five times over the years!
Yes, "Kiss Them for Me" was the name of a Jayne Mansfield movie. It's so great to compare her look and her singing to when she started in 78. And you're right, this song would FILL a dance floor with everyone saying, "Who's this?".
Im partial to Depeche Mode. I totally love seeing the nostalgic look on your face. Im right there with you.
I've loved Siouxsie since Hong Kong Garden 46 long years ago. My top 3 in no particular order would be 1. Love In A Void 2. Icon 3. Peek A Boo.
I love your video and this is the song when I was in my teen years bi found out who she was and then got all her early music from both bands as Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees an as The Creatures. Thank you for having a great spirit an love of music.
I just now found you and hope you are still doing videos! I'm a Gen X'er and love our music. All the best to you!
I was watching Cat the whole time and imagined rocking out with her. I've never heard this song before until 2009 and still listening to it now love it!
The use of Indian Raga and the cello bridge was inspired at the time. And the song is about the tragically short life of Jayne Mansfield. Who died in a car accident, on her way to a event , the thing being, she was so very desperate for the attention, and the adoration as a crutch, she would "go to an opening of a Piggy Wiggly if you invited her". That was why she was in that car that night, trying to chase down her necessary fix of adoration, miles from home. It is deeply expressed and tinged with the what might have beens, and the if onlys that poor Jayne knew all to well during her life. It also is overflowing with the sorrow and loss of the many fans who loved her, and those who discovered her even after her Death who also feel that empty sadness she seemed to have always shadowing her in her last days. As well as the senseless loss. Even now....she was not Maryln,a thing she was always reminded of, but her brief and brilliant star suffered just as much when it fell from the skies.More perhaps for not being able to attain what she craved. The knowledge, the feeling,of the unshakeable Love of the public....it was always there, she just never got it how she needed it. Again perhaps if she had not died, she could of grown to discern it, conqoured her personal demons....alas we shall never know....and besides Dear Prudence, this is my most loved song from her and the group....and my favorite new wave? I challenge you to listen to the Red Hot and Blue album of various late 80s early 90s artists covering Cole Porter songs. Iggy Pop and Blonde Harry siging What a Swellagant Party, David Byrne's Don't Fence Me In, Anne Lennox does Night and Day, The Tompson Twins hit up Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and check out Too Darn Hot,Mrs Otis Regretts( She's Unable To Lunch Today) and my favorite piece of new wave from that era...I Love Paris...deceptivally traditional and sung in contrary manner to Goth music, yet maudlin enough to bridge La Vie Boheme and early Goths last golden flowering....before the emergence of Grunge and dance mix R and B in the later 90s..
This Siouxsie and the Banshees video continues into the next video/song called "Fear (Into the Unknown)"
The movie is kinda silly, but has a genuine moment when Mansfield reveals the line that gives the movie its title. It can be seen in the trailers but lacks context. She has been told by her shore leave companion how kissing her would not be fair to her since he is married to another. Her rebuke is WWII era shocking in that she did not need to know what his motivations were, nor did he need to worry about her feelings. She is carrying out the wishes of a presumed dead soldier she knew, probably only as a pen pal. In his last letter to her he describes being pinned down by enemy fire, a hopeless situation, then seeing US planes overhead and the proverbial calvary arriving. His closing asks the Mansfield character to pass his gratitude to his brothers in arms when she meets them: Kiss them for me. SIOUXEE artfully and poignantly adds if I am delayed and I may be delayed as a nod to that unseen character and the bittersweet request as honored by the Mansfield charaxter
Heard this song back in early 90s. Loved it since then. Good choice!!!
One thing people have forgotten how to do is edit the songs so that the "cuts" are in time with the music. Same with the band dancing or playing. Sister's of Mercy "This Corrosion" is one of the best edited song videos I have ever seen. Even if you aren't into the song, you have to admit the look and editing of the video to match the music is AMAZING!!
Pure gold!
this is a great song! i had this song and several other new wave songs on a cassette, and now the other songs are coming back to me. in fact "pearly dew drops" by the Cocteau Twins was the second song on the tape
It breaks my heart to know I will never see her in Toronto.😭
Last Beat of My Heart (live) is my favorite of theirs
Been listening to her since 1980. Was sweating on the Sound Factory dance floor in 1991 (SF) when this song was released.
As she entered her 30s, Susan ("Siouxsie") began to take on a Liz Taylor-esque appearance. Love her 😍🥰🤩
P.S. There's a decent mix of PIL's "This is What You Get" and "Kiss Them For Me" out there.
GOLD
No you're not being impartial IT'S JUST THAT DAMNED GOOD!
Wowww siouxie 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I didn’t know her till my boyfriend introduced me to her music. Love the uniqueness of her voice. Karen O of the yeah yeah yeahs is definitely channeling her.
I believe "Kiss Them For Me" was the name of a Mansfield movie. This IS a great dance song, it was big then, (#1 somewhere) and it'd be big today. Thanks for doing this song, please do "The Killing Jar" live or video. Or "Swimming Horses".
@@heatherm492 Yes, but there STILL was a Mansfield movie by same name. I do know the story of the song. Been listening to the Banshees forever. (Hong Kong Garden anyone?). Dog in the video reference to the dog who was killed. Also the future star of SVU was asleep in the back seat with her brother. But thanks for pointing that out anyway. I was trying to point out a lesser know trivia factoid.
Dazzle is my favorite
Did you know the lead singer of The Cure played lead guitar for over 2 years with this group?
Siouxsie! My biggest 80s crush!
We(Gen X) did have some Great Music to experience! SO MANY...The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, The Book of Love, The Smith's/Morrissey...the list goes on and on "Forever"....
I think ther reason millennials are so mad is that their music stinks. Poor them
Totally still in love with her!
Amazing track..love this band
I love this song so much too, but if I had to say 2 favorites I’d choose some more somber songs from Siouxsie which are The Last Beat of My heart and The Ghost in You. They’re both amazingly beautiful and full of emotions.
Can't get enough Souxsie! Would love to see you react to my favorite 80's band, the Dead Kennedys. I can't believe that no one has reacted to Riot yet.
Siouxsie is a queen!
Awesome song
I adore siouxsie
Hi Cat, you've got some moves there:))
Thanks for your vidéo. M'y favourite song is Cascade. And the album a kiss in the dream house...
Luv it, Cat! Thanks for sharing, sister.
New Order Love Will Tear Us Apart would be a great one to review. Of course they had so much to choose from that any of it would be good. Also, if you're feeling adventurous there's always the Violent Femmes 😉🎸
Hmmmm,you do know that was Joy Division - before they became New Order
This is my fav new wave song!
I saw Siouxsie do this live.
One of songs they still bangs.
The Thai women love this song .
Temazo , a bailar ahora
I love this song, it's about Jayne Mansfield, you are correct.
Since the first time I heard this song, I was hooked! She's so gifted
@@catsarai-genxrewind5271 I wonder if Mariska Hargitay is a fan
you need to see that video clip of when she was like 16 and hanging out with The Sex Pistols...The old man host hits on her...classic!
Hahaha! I have to find it.
Yesssss 😍😍😍
Love. GX.
You are so nice cause listen the right music!
My favorite song by Siouxsie is Lands End. You will love it.
Hey Cat! As a fellow Gen-Xer, I would love to hear either your memories of first hearing the song or just your thoughts on them. I love listening to the music, but they feel incomplete without reflection. This was on my high school make-out playlist. I was thrilled to meet her in 1995 as well!
Marilyn got elton, Jayne got Siouxsie💟
If you love this you will love face to face
I always had a crush on siouxie back in the day ,,,,,stunning looking
I would chose The Smith's How Soon Is Now. This is not far behind.
Hong Kong Gardens and Spellbound for me 👍
Yeah, never confessed my love to any reaction video. So honeymoon on cupcakes and champagne?
I love this song and i love your review, but our dearest Siouxie and her "Eternal" Banshes, makes me sad because although we get aged (NOT OLD) we should never, ever our image get passed!I love "passenger", i love "Peek a Boo" i grew with all the Punks (Generation X, in th U.S. with Billy Idol, i'm with Robert Smith, now..Sex, Pistols, The Clash, etc.)
WHEN CAN I LISTEN SIOUXIE, SING THIS SONG, THESE DAYS AGAIN...Shall i ask IGGY POP, to do it?!
Was a big fan of the song back in the day and was kinda bummed when the Banshees had to bail due to illness on the 91 Lolapalooza show in New Jersey that I was at. I only last year found out that the song was about Jayne Mansfield...it really took on a new appreciation for the song for me. Downright eerie.....and WHAT? Why did they fade out the song?!?! The ending of the song is awesome on how it builds...unfortunately not in this video version of the song....grumble grumble
Just posted about this on your vid for Cities in Dust :D
