U-MV158 - Sonic Youth - Bull in the Heather

[GroovyGuitar02]

this song is a bit like Cocteau twins meets splendora . Vaguely , but if you like that you'll love splendora and cocteau twins .

[kosmiqlover1]

5 year old is kim & Thurstons kid

[crystalmonday80]

there is something really weird about this video but i wouldnt want any other way.

[lizzykiss441]

cool, brings back alot of teenage memories. very cool band :-D

[hollylauren]

Check out an exclusive interview with Kim and Thurston at VBS.tv!!!

[sohipimhop]

i remember seeing this video on an episode of Beavis&Butthead as a kid.

i actually discovered a lot of my early musical favorites from that show...weird.

[esque1954]

Same here

[Windom138]

When this video came out and I was 13, it made me hot. Now that I see it again, it seems nothing's changed with that.

[sohipimhop]

hahaha amen to that brother.

i rock converse with black tights to this day beause of this vid!

[Empyriumman]

Kathleen Hanna is not that much to look at , really, she's looking mighty hot in this video though ....

[symbioticsimians]

@Empyriumman : are you serious? Check out Le Tigre man, she's one sexy babe!

[CelestialJudge]

@micmoore007 This song came out in 1994, and these guys weren't exactly in their 20s by the time this was released.

By the time the Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star album came out, Kim Gordon was already 40 years old, and Sonic Youth had been together well over a decade.

[micmore007a]

I love the 80's !!! The blonde has an old womans face, kind of scary. Great song thou..

[sohipimhop]

90s pumpkin.

[AFirmKickInThePants]

Am I the only one who'd rather punch Kathleen in the face? She makes me extemely nervous

[sidewaysjsideways]

i use to think it said sittin on the bull in the heather its funny how we all wake up over time hey check out my song cold world by sonic death in the video responses above

[Marc3c]

Yup. I too first became aware of this video while watching Beavis and Butthead. I had never heard of Kathleen Hanna or Bikini Kill (or even Sonic Youth). Of course, I fell in love with her immediately. How could a man not fall in love with that bouncy cutie?

I am curious, though. Could someone tell me what's up with the scenes of the prepubescent donamatrix? I mean really, what the Hell is that all about?

[sidewaysjsideways]

@Marc3c the chick with the black hair is from bikini kill???

[Marc3c]

She was the lead singer. you can find several of their videos here on youtube.

[lenora98]

@sidewaysjsideways yes,singer,drummer,bassist,but most of the time,she's singer

[SandraK165]

hey you!!! tell me that you can't afford me Time f'r turning over and over... genial!!

[EyeNeedYouHopeless]

I know just about everyone's said it but it's worth repeating: Kathleen Hanna made this fucking video. I can't stop looking at her, and watching her crazy litte behavior/mannerisms. She's fucking genius here, especially 2:25-2:27. I fell in love w/ her simply by looking at this vid lol. Literally Im playing this thing over and over again just too look @ her.

[nothingsafe84]

@EyeNeedYouHopeless I'm a girl and I'm straight ha, there is something about her that draws me in. I love her mannerisms too. In fact when I saw this video, I kept wondering who is this babe? Her expressions, it fitted. I had no clue she made it. I can't stop looking at this video either. I really like her look at 1:16 and 2:40. It kind of reminds me a little bit of myself dancing in front of the mirror to songs haha, behind closed doors ha

[starsweet4]

why oh why can't the 90s come back!??!!! goddammit............... at least we have youtube though :(

[MikeTFP]

You think this is depressing. Try watching Woodstock 69 clips.

[hiphopelitist]

Reminds me of seeing this on beavis and butthead in my youth, and fucking loving this song even tho i was like 11 and didnt understand why i liked it.Now many years later I see why i liked it,Funny how life works.

[vitus33]

Love Kathleen Hanna. Married to Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys

[siramour]

EXCELLENTALICIOUS!!!:0

[STARRBUCK1973]

ONE OV MY FAV. SONIC YOUTH JAWNS!!!

[badxradxandy]

Who the fuck is the brunette chick? I didn't think she was part of the band ever....?

[sweatervestviking]

Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre

[John6yt]

Didn't that dark haired girl get sucker punched by Courtney Love backstage at Lollapalooza 95?

[whitestripes77]

yes

[Joystar234]

yeah she was saying how Kurt was never that much of a rockstar anyway and was a pussy for killing himself and Courtney was nothing more than a groupie

[EyeNeedYouHopeless]

Naw, that's not what happened. Kathleen and Kurt were friends. If it weren't for her spray painting 'Kurt smells like teen spirit' on Kurts wall the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" wouldn't even be known by that title. What happened at Lollapalooza 95 was Courtney supposedly flicked a lit ciggarette into Kathleen's face, prompting Kathleen to ask Courtney "Wheres your baby? In the closet shooting up?" (lol) Then Courtney punched her and poured a pack of candy over her head. Anyway I love em both.

[Joystar234]

oh cause i read GoodBye 20th Century book about Sonic Youth and that's what it said, buttttt i guess you wont know unless you were there eh?

[EyeNeedYouHopeless]

Who the fuck are you getting nasty with? I was just saying what I heard. There was no damn reason for you to be a nasty ass! And you gonna talk about me not being there? Were YOU muthafucka? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

[sidewaysjsideways]

@EyeNeedYouHopeless wow katheleen has alot to do with that scene im a little lqate dont you think but its still my favourite scene do you like mudhoney?

[EyeNeedYouHopeless]

Ur a little what? and no i don't like mudhoney. =)

[Davidicus400]

why do i like this song? its so terrible but i love it.

[symbioticsimians]

@Davidicus400 You're terrible. And you love this song because it's great.

[spacecoreninja]

kathleen is one of the only chicks i'd dyke out for.

[toditron]

effin rad.  s'all i have to say

[Kablizzo]

This video rules

[meredumais]

Kathleen was in the band Bikini Kill. She's married to Adam Horowitz, the Beastie Boy. And Kim has been in SY forever, married to Thurston Moore.

[blackguarding]

My gf in junior high broke up with me for being too obsessed with Kathleen. I would just sit in my room and watch this over and over and over for days on end.

[peeclvjewel]

that's actually awesome

[Mp25DIII]

Good thing you ditched her, it was really none of her business-

[koolguy1029]

haha nice

[bluetwinky]

Check out Kathleen Hanna in video:

"People are a Trip. Part 21"

Still Totally Hot. Still Totally Insain.

[Schizima]

psh she is the musician I most want to do in the ass. Don't you dare say she's anything but gorgeous

[Mp25DIII]

Well put-

[symbioticsimians]

@Schizima : you might be gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. Just saying.

[757330]

How come she's counting?

[calsonicSTi]

counting sucks, uh huh huh huh. lol

[smjjohnson]

Who's that five-year old girl that keeps bouncing around?

[sawatheekap]

beavis and butthead haha

[Shadowfaal]

Kathleen Hanna

[JeriousGreenwood]

@smjjohnson

How is she five? She's probably about 30 and she's awesome.

[antraxptpt]

@JeriousGreenwood gj sherlock

[WizardTaco123]

@JeriousGreenwood "who's that five year old that keeps bouncing around" is from beavis and butthead

[devilmaycry123and4]

hahahaha

[Majorbongrips]

Kathleen is a goddess.

[Pinkribbonscars]

Great video, riot girrrl!

[TheLegitMan93]

Who's the dude with the liberty spikes? Is it Thurston? Lee? Steve? Kim?? Kathleen Hannah??? Tobi Vail??? Kurt Cobain??? Courtney Love?? Dave Grohl??? Pat Smear??? Darby Crash???? Johnny Rotten??? Elvis????

[mrhernandez81]

Michael Jackson??Billy Mays??Farrah Fawcett?? Ed McMahon??

[philcrowley]

It's Thurston

[judahbenkenobi]

friggin Roger Federer????? Nadal??????

[TheMikeman83]

man, Thurston Moore's gotta be pushin 50 by now. peace. mike

[Timmybear]

Let's see - Kim is 56,and Thurston is 51 on July 25th. :)

[chrisgeedoublezyo]

haha, is it just me or does kim gordon look like jodie foster in this vid!?!? =D

[theirishinc]

COOL!

[vincentbeat]

Kim Gordon was a few months pregnant in this video. This is such a genius video for an amazing song. THe harmonics at the beginning really nail it for me. Kim's singing, brilliant like always e, and lee doing his thing. Experimental Jet Set TRash and No star is a killer title to a killer album. Kathleen hanna is brilliant!!!

[Friik0]

This video was "insanity"!!!

Awesum!!!

(Φ.φ)

[klaev]

Kathleen Hanna makes this. I remember watching 120 minutes specifically to catch this little gem of a video, just for Kathleen's crazy cute shenanigans.

[TheMikeman83]

yeah i remember this, when I think back it makes me wonder how many people I used to know who were heavy drug abusers at the time including myself as a teenager, during this seattle scene, that are now longer with us... eerie... peace. mike.

[postalfreeek]

This video is SOOO underground and it is SO FUCKING AWESOME!

I love how I can watch the shit outta it on youtube now instead of hoping it would come on in that show 120 minutes on MTV! GO YOUTUBE!

[MrHorrorFan]

Christ, Kathleen Hanna is delicious in this vid...

[jonsonkie]

never seen the video before, that was awsome!

[jiffcat]

she's doing the things i think i do when i'm drunk, except i'm not wearing tights

[DonnaJ101089]

LOVE IT! Remembered this when I was very young and loved all the weirdness of it...If it wasn't for MTV! : )

[harshroger]

omg this brings back memories, i remember seeing this when i was younger and being captivated by it! great upload! im also searching for"catholic block" with good audio.

[LavatoryProtagonist]

Proably one of their last really cool songs before they plunged into the debths of art for so many years. Their last album, however, is amazing

[manson17tech]

shes counting how many dudes she like did it with he he he heh beavis an butt head

[riskybusiness83]

2:10...."Get AWYAY FROM HIS WENIER..GET AWAY!!!"

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

I love it, Kathleen looks cute lol. :]

[Meleficent713]

Yay Kathleen Hanna!

[mbmirel83]

this video creeps me out  still.

[dong604]

his video creeped me out when i first saw it back in jr high lol.

[Joystar234]

I honestly don't get the point of people fighting over stupid shit when the video that's being played is by SONIC YOUTH!!!!!!! i mean really comment about how awesome Sonic Youth is and how great Kim Gordon looks cause she's preggers or how the chick in the video is the girl Courtney Love fought with at Lollapalooza instead of someone being a "frothing ass" which has got to be the stupidest thing i have ever heard

[maryesque]

portentous= full of portents? YOU IZ SOOTHSAYER, i think he's trying to say. nice.

[y3k23k]

no portentous is a synonym for pompous,

self absorbed, arrogant, ass up ones head.

[maryesque]

portentous, although a simple misspelling in this case, is an actual word in its own right.

you mean pretentious, i think. also: calm down.

[noverdrive]

No it's not. Portentous means "prophetic" or "foreshadowing".

[one2fiveapplebags]

Seth Rogan Has a Sonic Youth Tee-Shirt on in the movie The 40-Year Old Virgin..I think that pretty cool

[starsweet4]

it would be cooler if he actually listened to them!

[AB888sun]

she hits him right, huh, that's why he likes her, huh.

[one2fiveapplebags]

I owe my love of Sonic Youth to Beavis @ Butthead. I first saw this video on there show and i was hook..

[MikeTFP]

same here

[one2fiveapplebags]

"That's Pretty COOL"

[aftkproductions]

why does this video just ooze 90's? Even the poeple .

[MikeTFP]

It does. That's why I love it. The 90's were underrated.

[bondagepixie]

Kathleen Hanna (from Bikini Kill & Le Tigre) is so cute in this video! She's the chick in pigtails.

[y3k23k]

the stripper type chick in the pink sorta reminds of amy whinehouse

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

don't say that name on a sonic youth video please.

[y3k23k]

ummm portentous much?

you think your so fantastic cus you know sonic youth

who are the members of DNA

what was 8-eyed spy

what was the name of glenn brancas first band

who are the swans

who is jean micheal basquait.

list five richard kern flicks

list 3 nick zed movies

please get your head out of your ass. thank you.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Wow, what crawled up your ass and died?

And learn some English you illiterate pile of grade A monkey crap.

[y3k23k]

in response to your 1st question: you and your unfathomable ignorance.

second, im 13 so give me a break. and also all my grammar is correct so maybe you need to go back to kindergarden and brush-up on your syntax.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Says the poor child who spells is 'Kintergarden'. I don't give a rat's ass how old you are, idiot -_-

You are the personification of frothing ass. FROTHING ASS.

[y3k23k]

no im sorry its kindergarden i should know i passed it with flying colors, got an A in finger-painting, im sure you did to, but thats the extent of your scholarly achievement.

and i am a bubbling ass personified do you even know how asinine that sounds your parents must be proud.

go fuck yourself.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Yawn. Poor child. Constantly replying to me wont fill that void, sorry.

[y3k23k]

ummm first of all i have no voids to fill and second you instigated this and instead of acting like an adult you continued to reply so im not gonna give up this battle of will because your a dumb annoying fuck, im sure your parents feel the same way, and im not going to quit unless you do, sorry if i embarrassed you in front of all of youtube, but i think you've been used to feeling embarrassed your whole life.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

No child, I think you are the one who is use to being embarrassed your whole life - otherwise you wouldn't continue to reply as if you're writing an essay. LOL 'battle' hahahah! Poor geek.

[y3k23k]

umm no im not replying as if i was writing an essay because if i was writing an essay i wouldn't say this.

" you're a fucking faggot, the amount of letters in this whole gay argument is the amount of sausages you smoked last night." and geek. haha go fuck yourself you treky sorry you couldnt watch me get my dick sucked at the friction party (but you'd only like half of it) oh and sorry you missed my last lax game cus if you were there you'd get a kryptolite pro shoved in ur ass, but ud lik that

[leviroxanne]

let's not be a homophobic prick, dude. shut the fuck up if that's all you have to say. I'm sick of this shit.

Kathleen Hanna is my new best friend, by the way.

[starsweet4]

lol.. it's kindergarten.. with a T, not a D!

just a tip... next time you insult someone's spelling, make sure your own spelling is correct?

[y3k23k]

next time you call someone a frothing ass make sure you know what frothing means

[starsweet4]

lol it wasn't me who called you a frothing ass!

next time make sure you accuse the right person!

[y3k23k]

thanks so much, maybe you could give me more life lessons later.

oh and btw i love people like you with a holier then thou mentality.

[starsweet4]

although... "whinehouse" was correct, lol

[hprulz713]

lol, the nail polish is dripping on2 the grass at 2:44

[JackRussellTerrier2]

FEET!

Oh yeah, and the brunette chick with the pigtails is pretty hot.

[HEMSG]

You got that right.

[lq9blzr]

I bet kim and that chick would be nasty in bed....good song too!

[yahirwao]

This is almost like an Anthem in general rock music....sick, cute and fuckin rulezz!!

The 90's were quite amazing

[losleavers]

this is a sick ass jam!

[Schizima]

This is my favorite music video, entirely because of Kathleen Hannah's behaviorisms in it.

Gordon's voice is awesome too.

[CrazedPeeling]

i just saw this video recently and i fell in love w/kathleen hanna all over again xD and this is officially the first song i like by Sonic Youth :) i'm glad since i've been wanting to get into them

enough of my rant...time to watch the adorable kathleen boogey :D

[squidster5]

ahhhh.....kathleen hanna, she's the stuff my adolescent wet dreams were made out of!

[starsweet4]

is that girl in the pink at 2:24 kathleen hanna also? can't really tell

[chleague08]

Yep I'm pretty sure it is!

[starsweet4]

awesome.. she pretty much MAKES this video

[rafafini]

i would marry kathleen! she's wonderful!

[noogies]

this video is what is ofiicially called

"Boner Jams"

[steelyd330]

K, hopefully Kathleen can sing cuz she CAN'T dance! LOL

[Riic0chet]

amo esta cancion

[hollypockettt]

Kathleen Hanna...wow, what a cow.

[casy2thefav]

looks nothing like ad rock! there is no way thats him!

[Eaglebauer74]

That's funny, because I just read in a magazine that it is indeed Ad Rock.

[thedefog]

yeah, it is totally him. Just with slicked back hair.

[Eaglebauer74]

Is that King Ad-Rock at 2:38? Would make sense 'cause he's Kathleen Hanna's husband.

[dirtysouthukecabaret]

Love Sonic Youth

[AshCrackPoolerrr]

Long live Kathleen Hanna.

[Stratman78]

During a scene in this video, Kathleen Hanna gave Thurston Moore a bloodied lip. I'm not too sure if it was at 2:01 or when she was dancing/jumping around Thurston until he pushes her off (2:11 to 2:17), but it looks like he has the bloody lip at 2:24, and doesn't look happy about it.

Hanna dances around him again, when she turns to look at him at 2:34, Thurston sort of has that "Get the fuck out of my face" look.

[YourAGrownUpPussyNow]

Hmm, well, at 2:24, Kim and Thurston are just looking intsense, and at 2:34 we can't really see.. And I think, when that little incident happened, the just stopped shooting and continued afterwards.. we done't even get to see the point where she actually punches him on the mouth..

greets

[rgilmore212]

no it actually happened at 2:59 when she fell on him

[crookedspokeadjacent]

0:56 haahahhahaha brilliant

[ashane77]

That Bikini Kill girl is hot in this vid...

[PointsOfEllipsis]

that girl is so effin georgous!!!! thanks to all you rock historians i been wondering who she was for years!

[KeMPITO]

terribly nice song but conventional video, I don´t like to see Kim Gordon doin´ Courtney Love

[Empyriumman]

ooh man , gonna jerk off lol ..this sucks though.

[spiddlestix]

i think it's thurston moore pony playin' - but i guess the moores were "negroes" - peace count

[countbloodula]

The dud playing with horse is a white negroe.

[spiddlestix]

i always thought her name was yoko

[jmpirical]

It's been said already but worth repeating: Kathleen Hanna makes this video. Whoever decided to just randomly turn her loose in front of the camera did Sonic Youth a huge favor.

[budzoganmeruosmy]

one of the freakin' best songs of 90s... just love it

[northcore]

I love this song!

[hellofaname]

who's that 5 year old girl that keeps bouncin around?

[Eaglebauer74]

That's Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill.

[juuush]

Lol i swear Kathleen Hanna stopped aging young; in this video she's like 26 years old D: !!

[hprulz713]

good quote from beavis and butthead, lol

[deathmetaldave19720]

didn't see this vidoe in years i mean years since beavis and butthead i use to have this on cd... damn good ol days

[BabyFacedAssassin301]

Kathleen >>>>>

[ashane77]

That bikini kill girl is really the star of this vid...

Hot, hot, hot, !!!

[gasdorf]

pig tail chic makes the video osome

[somefucktupshit]

thats kathleen hannah from the punk feminist band bikini kill, when i was little i had a crush on her hardcore

[MoodyHyadd]

I dunno...she kinda makes my dong stiff.

[oevermoerkavann]

That sucks , one of the worst bands in history.

[MindBloodandDark]

I love the pink background on the video

and the images, weird

but so Sonic Youth-ish

one of my favorite bands

and one of my favorite songs

and the best bass ever!

[rialimpe]

no, you do.

[Zaeon]

Great song.

[morbidbynature]

Kathleen Hannah is sooo cute in this!! I love her

[engelillop]

que raro video soooo weird

[davidsquall351]

this is cool
