[TheJessie1952]

beautiful woman,great voice.great artist...x

[cristobalmartinn]

kiss them for me / siouxie / (evergreen Top )

[80Dantheman]

old skool was awesome now its all gone shit!!!!!!!!

[ProblemHonorStudent]

I remember when this was a Buzz Clip. Right around the time Mtv started to crap out :-/

Had a couple good death knells though. This is certainly one.

[cristobalmartinn]

siuxie and the banshees ! ever cool

sabado at night )

[Blanton95]

This song sampled a Schooly D song for the percussion track, and I decided I needed to have the CD. I knew Siouxie and the Banshees from their Punk albums, and the music was unplayable on a car stereo. I bought and installed an Audio Control EQL specifically to augment the bass in this song. Ahhhh..... the old days.

[MATUSOWNED]

Even Samantha Fox was a staple for MTV--

[TheWheels777]

dave kendall, 120 minutes

[rosario508]

That guy has the longest neck I've ever seen.

[MrJukeshoe]

Siouxsie: The Original Cougar. :|

[AquteRN]

you are beautiful sweeet girl. we grew up together. I will always love you and so will my children. Thank God I can appreciate great music!!!!!!!

[gspilberg]

Era hermosa en ese tiempo, no necesitaba tanto maquillaje, aunque le daba su estilo propio :P

[annahrwth242]

I adored her..when everyone wanted to dress like Madonna...some wanted to emulate Siouxisie...with beautiful classic looks, and poetry...some still do...alas..my 19 yr old...fine..like a bottle of Merlot..;-)

[clearbear111]

I seriously need a time traveler so I can remain when music was at it's best!

[Backup218]

she looks sooo english

[mothernaturesson89]

i recently saw this really great souxsie and the banshees cover band, i think their name is the yeah yeah yeahs

[DarkwaveDuck]

@mothernaturesson89 i dont think so

[HENJAM48]

She's come a long way since Bill Grundy

[katoklzmk]

poor Jayne, she'd vbe so proud of Mariska

[tresgatos34]

que bella es esta mujer,es la wonder woman de la musica....

[DarcyCPT]

Yes, she is hot. They are Nasty, love Em!

[sharkattacksteve]

Without the makeup Siouxsie kinda looks like Carrie Anne Moss.

[topofthechain100]

@sharkattacksteve Funny you say that, I kinda wonder if the Wachowski siblings took some visual clues for the Matrix from this video.

[Someguyfrom1973]

@sharkattacksteve I agree, she does resemble Carrie. Both are so sexy.

[webeezgeetarist]

HHHmmm this is the interview Dave Kendall did with Siouxsie before she took the stage @ Lollapalooza in Phoenix AZ circa 1990. I was at that show ;)

[starfyre05]

i wish they would put music videos on mtv again,this reality crap is for the birds,to see bands like this where they dont get that much exposure,this is their only real big hit they have been around for years and didnt do anything to make a pop hit,kiss them for me is a great song,i dont know the meaning of "selling out'i thought every band want to make money at what they are doing

[numol1]

this could probably use a warning for the flashing stuff.

[madsketcher]

Siouxsie's voice sounds similar to Liz Fraser's here.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

This is the tune where they sold out, yeah? Well, if you're gonna sell out, you may as well do it with a good song. This is my fave Banshees track!

[EmGloss]

I've read many times that this song is about Jayne Mansfield. This video with the champagne and the pink heart pool seems to further that belief. Is this true?

[sunaphets]

Siouxsie, dahhhling. . . .so glamorous, so elegant - like this side of you too! Glamor ~AND~ Goth = rock goddess!!!

[VvAnarchangelvV]

alukuhito, the vocabulary you used in your previous posts proves you know exactly what I meant; your obtuseness and feigning ignorance show that what you are lacking is an answer to my points

[aricars6263]

10 people had a frontal lobotamy!!!

[chyman]

this beat is SICK! loves it.

[BaRRicade120]

MTV used to play good music?

[1212kenshi]

@BaRRicade120 mtv used to play music period

[sirReginaldFartsalot]

@BaRRicade120 MTV used to play music??

[MATUSOWNED]

@sirReginaldFartsalot Yep--from Wikipedia, they started in the EARLY 80"s---Music Television Video (franchise)

[sirReginaldFartsalot]

@MATUSOWNED I know.. I was being sarcastic :D I was around when MTV started.

[jnuhjnuh]

@BaRRicade120 MTV used to play music?

[RainPoetry]

@BaRRicade120 shocking, I know.

[AWYMARI3HORN]

I c y no comments on the 4:07 x3~ love the song

[ritter89]

Such a strange and infectious melody. Love this tune

[blitzspeer]

She looked almost normal here not like the usual look like someone living post apocalypse or down the rabbit hole.I remember the chicks who tried to mimic her in high school now they have to work or starve so they don't look like that anymore unless they're working at F.Y.E. and that would probably be a second job hahaha.

[BlondiEmilio]

I'll Kiss Anyone For You Siouxsie!

[Tamryn]

Love her!!!

[joeyxdope]

Weird this song samples Schoolly D's PSK, aka, the first "Gangsta Rap" song of all time.

[andryeerful]

Oh, boy! The close-ups on her face are priceless. Those eyes... She's got to be one of the most beautiful women on Earth.

[andryeerful]

@Guimapg I agree, she's gorgeous! With or without her usual eye makeup.

[timepope]

Wow. Margot Kidder yeah. My something gets bigger. Damn she was HOT before I thought abotu thgat

[jessfromla]

This has to be the last love song i have dedicated to someone...and she knows who!

[jabroni19]

I wish I could go back in time and marry Siouxsie.

[controlofsound]

It's Cuddy from House!!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

@nycboy31 Freddie Mercury, just saying...

And it's not her skin tone so much as it is her features. Besides, she doesn't look this pale all the time.

[RainPoetry]

What a beautiful send off to the 80s this song was. Probably their most commercial sounding work, but it still has that Siouxie and the Banshees mystery...

[halcyon180]

she looks like trinity

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Was Schoolly D ever given credit for the drums? Peace.

[stimpp]

holy fuck - those eyes; what a beautiful catchy tune

[RainbowCatcher]

Love that little opening story. Makes you believe in the power of the Ancient Muse. To have this divine music, and then to find lyrics for it based on the life of Jayne Mansfield. A wondrous tribute to Jayne at the peak of her popularity in 1957, when when she realized her dream of working with Cary Grant in "Kiss Them For Me," won a Golden Globe, and was the "most photographed woman" of the year.

PURE MAGIC!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Because of this video, for the looooooongest time I thought she was of Middle Eastern/Indian descent. And no, not because of the Indian imagery incorporated into the video, she just looks Middle Eastern to me.

[nycboy31]

@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel U gotta be kidding, she's got alabaster skin with hair dyed goth black, can't get more british than that

[adztigana]

along with debbie harry (blondie) & chrissie hynde (pretenders), siouxsie shows pure class and aura for rock genre. kiss me baby, i just cant delay...

[CraigSJones]

Is it possible for someone to be so demure and alluring that you feel like a dream?

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

is this woman the hottest chick alive or what?!?

[eliopoulosgiannis]

@IIIIdepechemodeIIII One of the hottest.

[xxxdeadmunkxxx]

@IIIIdepechemodeIIII HI FIVE BRO ..... even though im getting that chick ^^

[wachatalknboutwillis]

Siouxsie's kicking the Margot Kidder look in this vid! Who loves you baby!?

[gloopification]

Is it just me or is Siouxsie sexy as hell?

[FriendlyShadow1]

@gloopification It is definitely not just you. She's a goddess!

[shinogiofraikiu]

Back in the good old days when Mtv was actually all about music<3

[subfusion01]

Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, this film passes me for the plea, I' essiccamento of the M.

[sustainbiz]

PIL also sampled this track for the Body

[spkenn36]

Ahhhh...delicious!

[WarriorPoet01]

There's a YT vid where the guy at the morgue stated that Jane was NOT almost decapitated. May have been people seeing a wig or something out-of-place.....and that started the rumor. That's what he says, anyway. So we go on calling the bars welded to the back of semi-trucks "Mansfield bars" - so we won't be decapitated as Jane supposedly was.

[kives1985]

It's weird to see someone with such a severe look done up to look conventionally attractive. Makes you kind of wonder how Sinead O'connor would have looked with long flowing hair.

[Dubh666]

Jayne Mansfield wasn't cursed by anyone, she was a fully paid up member of the Church of Satan. And she died in a car accident, and wasn't decapitated either.

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

@Dubh666 right, she was almost decapitated, when the trunk in front of her was creamed by her ride.

[Dubh666]

@IIIIdepechemodeIIII Jayne Mansfields car ran into the back of truck trailer that was parked unlit on a darkened road. The inquest reported that she was scalped in the accident. Anton LaVey later claimed that he had cursed her boyfriend who had also died in the accident, sadly Jayne was a pasenger in that same car.

[AWYMARI3HORN]

?brilliant! simply beautiful

[23angelful]

jayne mansfield ended up stripping in stockport which was her last gigs.she was cursed allegedly by anton lavey head of the cos,she died by decapitation in a car crash.

[Refrescospepito]

Beatutiful as ever.

I love Siouxsie with long hair.

Fantastic tune, wonderful video.

And now know where Madonna got her ideas for the dancing and the sound for her song "Ray Of Light"!

[subfusion01]

Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, nigga goes excluded the end to work like the horse, which it also left the lecturer of the pencil of nigga

[Tengocuentadeyoutub]

LOL siouxsie looks so old here

[comeon224]

Don't put your hand in the liquid mirror Siouxsie--the Devil's on the other side! Now you will have to stand there and stand guard for a thousand years till someone else makes the sacrifice.

P.S. Is that Frankie Goes To Hollywood backing her up? Siouxsie Goes To Hollywood.

[sticklebats]

Siouxsie, I love you and I always have.

[toddplum]

please look at my vids

[RobSar63]

Anyone know were to get those bubble sun glasses?

[TheMariiiiiiiiiiiana]

GÉNIO

[Baritone45]

Man, I loved this song soooo much in the early 90s. Wondered why I never heard anything else from them. Just today I heard some of their 70s and 80s work. Aye ay ay, dull, empty punk music. Like The Cure on downers. And unlike the Cure, there was not much music, or anything else going on there.

[ohfeverhead]

@Baritone45 nawwwwwwwww man, it's great, it just takes a few listens. "carcass" is my favorite :)

[1starryeyedkid]

bedroom bowie-love on ya x

[mlukas]

Ahh..memories of college and KROQ (alternative radio station in California). Love this song. Everything Siouxsie did, in my mind, was pure gold!

[listerone]

Siouxsie Sioux is so damn gorgeous in this vid that I can't stand it!

[thegoat48]

does anybody know what the word "divoon" means??

[MisterAvailable]

@thegoat48 ... it's 50/60's slang and means great, wonderful.

[MisterAvailable]

@MisterAvailable (and it's a play on the word "divine")

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

dave kendal ftw. lofl

[roudy1689]

her sound is one of kind, super unique

[curtiscrush]

a pure and perfect class act ! i love you, siouxsie !

[THiRAKAULiTZ]

Wonderful band, can't stop loving them :) Today were stuck in those talentless so called 'artists'.

[ffm20zaheri]

unfortunately the song was only a big hit in the usa.......

nobody could escape the summer without listen to this song in the summer of 91

a shame that mtv isnt a music channel like then.

today you can see a lot of FAKE reality shows and

a lot of bad hip hop

in the year 2006 nearly 90 percent of the number ones on the billboard hot 100 were by black artists

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@ffm20zaheri Believe it or not, I missed this song completely when it firstcame out in 1991. I was a total metalhead back then, and I only discovered this song recently because it was on the Rock Band Classic Rock Track Pack. Fantastic song, though.

[mikebott]

with this song you can get from siouxsie to mariska hartigay in less than 7 steps.

[Victorianyc]

This song makes me feel happy!

[disalitervisum]

A woman of transcendental superiority...you should google the hindu god kali for more insight.

[TheRealBoyardee]

This video does not do this song justice. I love siouxsie. So funny...i grew up on sioux ln.

[Takac1979]

The best times!

[jxcancan]

kiss them for me its two fingers to all ur enemies and people u can leave behind from ur past ,its all in the interpretation lol

[blakkone4000]

Very interesting...I'd like to have you expand on that sometime. I enjoy hearing other people's interpretation of song lyrics.

[PeteyBowWow]

she is such a sexy sultry babe...what a MILF hottie...wished I was married to a woman like this.

[eerievonsara]

She inspires me soo much...

[peytonazak]

Has anyone here heard the "Kiss them for me- snapper mix"?

[AClarke2007]

Oh shit, what some people do to get on the Tube eh?

[mattkissband]

soooo elegant looking in this vid....always loved this song

[jamartinez70]

Amazing !

[rherbert57]

Pure ear and eye candy. Was there ever a lady with more class in this or any other genre of Rock?

[Andronicus77]

Kora from polish new wave band- Maanam ;)

[gyqz]

You are sooooooooooo right!!! This lady was reffered to as the queen of ice, but I do think she is the queen of gothic as are The Sisters Of Mercy the gothfathers of gothic!!! And what a great show 120 minutes was!!! So much variaty in musical ways...

[alukuhito]

@rherbert57 Hmmm... Interesting concept of "class". If you call sleeping around with everyone in sight, being fairly uneducated, incapable of playing an instrument, etc. "class", then maybe you've got a point. Not that I don't like her. I just find your comment rather malinformed.

[rherbert57]

@alukuhito I was referring to Siouxsie Sioux, not Madonna.

[alukuhito]

@rherbert57 - Um, yeah, so was I.

[rherbert57]

@alukuhito OK. I admit my knowledge of her comes from what I've I've read about her. If you have something to show me that merits your comments, feel free to inform me.

[alukuhito]

@rherbert57 - That's O.K. You're free to continue your imaginings. Isn't that what being a fan is all about anyway?

[Lucifer986]

@alukuhito "uneducated" education has no standards or levels or any means of showcasing itself, true education is beyond your pathetic little piece of paper you might call a certificate. Siouxsie created genuine music that is sufficient. Class is a is a social construct of the pretentious bourgeois. You do not know her mental states and therefore cannot judge her by her sex life. Music has many elements and playing an instrument is merely one element. So go and listen to your lady gaga......

[alukuhito]

@Lucifer986 - O.K.... How about you stay sober for a week and THEN write a response? Your comment makes no sense.

[AWYMARI3HORN]

@Lucifer986 this is one smart lady

[VvAnarchangelvV]

@alukuhito It is indeed an interesting concept of class. Refraining from sex, and going straight from private school to industry or Law is not interesting in the least, and I daresay has never been

But even those who hide behind their Romanesque facades, listening to the 100 year old methodical replication of scales you might call Classical music recognize that the voice is an instrument. So I would really just have to chalk that one up to spitefulness on your part

[alukuhito]

@VvAnarchangelvV - You talk all weird-like.

[chasdan100]

@rherbert57 She Rocks

[subfusion01]

@rherbert57 Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, those jaynes Mansfield have the best cat nevertheless

Isn't it "sous chef"?!?!

[rtromeotango]

LOL-Yes your right, Sous...

Sioux- Native American Tribe.. lol

Maybe their Sioux chefs at the Tee pee buffet.. roflmao...

Thanks for the Correction.. I was close..

[rtromeotango]

great song, nice rythem and Tone is awesome... In the end its all about pleasure and where the song takes you in your own world.... Make money and have fun.. lifes too short to fight..

[cobolsaurus]

OOHHHH!!!! The memories I have from this times....

[All4YouProductions]

I absolutely positively HONESTLY love this song. n_n

[TinyVessels00]

It took me a while to figure out her name was pronounced "Suzie Sue"

[ffm20zaheri]

me too a couple of weeks ago i didnt know it and i went to the cd shop and said i want a sioxxxie cd and the employee of the cd shop corrected me and said  susie sue

[pmanngw]

Siouxsie Sioux

[BIKERJAKE74]

Got a chance to meet her when they played here in Dallas for Lollapalooza and she was kinda a bitch. But still like her music.

[PullusPardus]

lol back then she was a "Bitch" cause that was so Punk!

hey even people like her can act childish :-P

[Jadensamma]

For some reason... this song reminds me of the Kanye/Taylor incident.

[DRATCHFAN]

I just figured out who she looks like in this video...remember Dirty Dancing, the older woman ("Bungalow bunny") who would pay Swayze for dance lessons (which were more than dancing), who ended up with that jerky medical school guy?

[DRATCHFAN]

My mother in law got to meet Jayne Mansfield once! said she was kind of "phony," walking around kissing everyone like they were her best friend. Still, how cool is that!

[officialpickle]

we love u jayne mansfield

[adekunle2]

the best song of this amazing group, close second would be shadowtime

[socialcrimeradio]

I own a tile from Jayne Mansfield's pool.

They ripped her place apart a few years ago.

Sad as it was quite a place to look at.

[ffm20zaheri]

hmm strange to see how beautiful she really is without the masquerade

and this was their best chArt effort in the usa (peaking at # 23 on the billboard hot 100) but elsewhere this song was not a huge hit

[graemereaper]

Oh... Okay. Sounds like you're lecturing me. Please don't. I'm probably a lot older than you.

[graemereaper]

Siouxsie looks very un-Siouxsie like in this video, but still she looks beautiful.  Great song.... and that's coming from an old school (skool) Banshees fan.

[giterdun77]

That's because Siouxsie was mimicking (i.e. mocking) the Hollywood celebrity gravytrain that ruined Jane Mansfield and others (what the song's about). She needn't look the same in each video anyway...

[cheapy2006]

she looks a lot better in this than i ever remember

[papperwait]

She does , but the funny thing is all she had to do was bathe brush her hair and put on clean clothes that fit . can you imagine how much better she would look if she actually put a little effort in everyday !

[ArmpitNoises]

Great track.

[popefester]

wow, I love this this song... I

[Proud2BeAnInfidel]

most vivid lsd memories from high school involve this song-

[mom2ethantaylor]

damn back lyrics meant something, some day it will come back

[tommyo321]

You hit the nail on the head

[popothedragon]

i'm not sure why, but siouxsie reminds me of madonna in this music video. regardless, this is a great siouxsie & the banshees song

[devildollybel]

mi mama m arruyaba con esta cancion!! y a mis 18 años m encnata,rekuerdo eso y lloro!! mami t extrño mucho!!

[eisenkreuzmusik]

God bless 120 Minutes, I miss it so dearly

[Tracyconly]

WOW! I totally forgot about this song. This is so Junior High School for me.

Some one reference this song while comparing it to Goldfrapp's Crystaline song. I don't hear the similarity though.

[Frater8]

way to make a guy feel old this is so high school for me lol
