It takes a min or two to properly kick in. Bauhaus appeared in "The Hunger" the movie doing this song in a Nightclub scene. It's a great movie with David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon.
I like this track but its not for everyone he sang the song while hung upside down at Coachella, not a typical Bauhaus song if such a thing exists plenty of others mentioned in the other comments.
Was pretty different when it came out in 1979. Legend has it Goth Music began here. In one of the few interviews Ian Curtis gave, this is the only band he mentions liking. Thanks for giving it a try.
Welcome to the world of Goth, in which Bauhaus were originators along with the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Sisters of Mercy. I've always found this song too long but it should really be experienced in a dark Goth nightclub with dry ice and unsettling lighting effects.
Yes its odd and its long but back in the 80s and even the 90s it was really cool on Halloween when they played it on the dance floor at different clubs. People loved it. Thank You guys for doing it 🎃😸 Definitely something to listen to only around Halloween 😊 PS, im so glad i discovered your channel you guys are cool and react to different stuff than other reaction channels
@@SPKdesign1 I saw BP a lot because I lived around their turf in Melbourne and was a Crystal Ballroom rat. But looking back, I think it was a detriment to my physical and mental health. I first saw Birthday Party when they were Boys Next Door (before Rowland S. Howard joined) and my mates and I laughed through their set. They were thought of as a ''Countdown'' boy-punk-pop band for girls. That changed when the drugs came into our scene and the rest as they say... Keep your eye our for a documentary about BP called _Mutiny in Heaven._
I have my original 12" pressing on Small Wonder records with some delightful skips & pops & crackles ! Great scene in The Hunger with them performing this as David Bowie & Catherine Denueve eye Susan Sarandon ! 🧛♂️ 🦇 🧛♀️
El rostro del señor, pareciera que quiere que acabe luego la canción, es cosa de "CULTIVARSE", así tal vez no sentirán que es una música tan extraña. Probablemente tendrían que haber comenzado por la carrera solista de Peter Murphy
Very Krautrock inspired, the beginning is nearly a lift from Autobahn. I think this was only available as a 12" single which explains the length and it was essentially a dance track. There was a lot of this experimental stuff around at the time
I love this, both the band and the track, it's often cited as the first 'Goth' record. Bauhaus are actually a great band with many great tracks, I suggest you do one of their tracks for a Wednesday, David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the cover by Bauhaus, I promise that you won't be disappointed. Other tracks which I'd recommend are: "Kick in The Eye", "She's In Parties", "Dark Entries", "Third Uncle", "Lagartija Nick", "Stigmata Martyr". They did some really good covers, one I mentioned already and, "Rose Garden Funeral of Sores" which is a cover of a John Cale (of, The Velvet Underground) song, "Telegram Sam" which is a cover of a song by T-Rex.
I don't think there's been any Magazine on the channel! This seems like some sort of weird oversight! :) Shot By Both Sides might be a good starting point.
Great band, one of my favourites growing up. I always admired the guitar player ( he's making a lot of the weird noises you're looking askance at Chris!) as he's pretty untraditional, feedback, playing behind the nut, just sheer noise for it's own sake. They are also Love And Rockets, when they play and record minus singer, Pete Murphy. They are also worth a look.
@@hanierfamily yep, they do a pretty good cover of that. The bassist, guitarist and drummer of Bauhaus, make up Love And Rockets. The Bauhaus singer has his own solo stuff, some of which is pretty interesting. Somewhere along the way, some of them were also, Tones On Tail and I think, The Jazz Butcher. For a further fact of mild interest, the drummer and guitar player are brothers!....edit, actually on reflection , I think its the drummer and the bass player!
As belonging to a generation which remember the breaktrough of the Beatles, the punk and new wave of the end of the 70s was a little overwhalming - but, we had no problems with long introductions. Both the prog of UK and the progg in Sweden had introductions of many minutes (and maybe outros of 10 min!). Isn't there some similiarities with some sort of jazz?
@@TheRot-uq9ylIt was just my feeling. But I checked now. David J had a lot of influences. Among them Miles Davis and Charlie Parker according to Wikipedia. My own association was to Kroumata. But I am not sure if that counts as jazz. - But yes! I have no musical schooling.

Goth classic. Not the single version however a true gem. Sisters of Mecy and March violets were my next door neighbours in Leeds 1980’s

This track was recorded in 1979 in ONE take.

Aye, although in a dark room under the influence o Mushys is quite fun.
@@marcharley6465 Goth necessity
When hear this first time it great most see it live did great live band

'She's In Parties' please !
'She's in Parties' definitely better imho. Also their version of 'Ziggy Stardust' is good!
Both The Hunger book and the film are excellent.
A great song and review.
i first heard this at the crystal ballroom while waiting for the birthday party to come on stage
I would love to have seen them. I did get a chance to see Nick Cave and that was cool.

@@DogInSpace If I can find it on UA-cam, I'll watch it.
I was dancing my ass off back in the 1980ies when this track was played on the dancefloor. Kind regards from a 57 yo German guy 😄

I bought this single at Missing Link Records (Melbourne) in 1979 when I was 14.
We used to dance to this. 😊
Back in 1982 , I had an acquaintance who was mad about this band. They were his whole world.
No one band should be your whole world. That would close your mind to enjoying the rest of the world.
@hanierfamily This guy was in a straight track. I see him now and again, but he never changes direction.

Its art……
Speaking of Ian Curtis, Joy Division's song 'Dead Souls' is trully haunting.
I put it in as a request! It occurs to me it could be done as a comparison with the Nine Inch Nails cover
Ah...those Russian Authors and their Pathos

Can I be the guy to point out that Third Uncle is a Brian Eno song ;)
Id say, She's In Parties might be the next best move!
@@Sandy-dd4leYes, you most certainly can, I'd forgotten that it was a cover of an Eno track.
Saw them support Magazine at the Ajanta Theatre in Derby. Got their first album too.
@@martinquarton184That would have been a great gig, I love Magazine too.
I don't think there's been any Magazine on the channel! This seems like some sort of weird oversight! :)

We remember them a bit.
@@hanierfamily Love And Rockets? They were reasonably well known in The States I think, so maybe Canada too. I'm guessing you'd know, So Alive.
Very much so. And did they cover Ball Of Confusion? That was them, right?

Magic! I'd put 'She's in Parties' just in front of this track tho, only just. 👍
"Kick In The Eye" & "Parties" got the dancefloor filled back in the day and the Dub versions are excellent.

😆 🤣
Classic
Most of the rest of their stuff isn't like this and are a large part of the British Goth movement. . They do a version of Ziggy Stardust.
& Telegram Sam !
