Remember when MTv used to play music videos?!The '80's were PSYCHOTIC!!!Me n my homeboys got deck out in the top hats n vaudevillian masks n tuxedos for a badass rave jus cuz!!!GOOD TIMES!!
@thomasjasongallant WTF??!! How is my comment dumb...??...as I was part complementing the song's production.. and too stating my own observation?!!? Beyond that... in YOUR statement, your grammar is incorrect... you needed to use a contraction "you're"... instead of "your" in YOUR DUMB REPLY!! ....
Also all the men in the video are wearing Venetian masks. These originated with Carnivale but have a long history of being used to conceal one's identity for many reasons, but especially for promiscuous activity. Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" has the men at the orgy parties are wearing Venetian masks. Although the montage of masks in this video shows many kinds of Venetian masks, the repeating shots of the 4 male band members shows the most famous mask, the Doctor, with a long phallic beak.
I always thought this was about the sex trade...specifically, about peep-show clubs. If you've ever seen Madonna's video for "Open Your Heart", it's a very stylized, glam and clean version of a peep-show club. Men sit in booths and masturbate while watching a woman perform on the other side of a sliding door that will shut after the time they've paid for expires. If you read the lyrics, it's a rather negative take on the trade. (please Google and use the vamp dot org link to see lyrics)
strobe lights pump and flicker,dry lips crack out for more...........come bite on this ragdoll BABY!!! Thats right now hit the floor, there sneaking out the back door........gets up from all fours...............RHINESTONE FOOLS AND SILVER DOLLARS.........curdle into bitter tears
This was the first tune I ever heard from Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees back in the 80's. I turned my back on Rock-n-Roll and dove head first in Alternative and have been there ever since. What a cool tune, especially cranked up with headphones.
@asanabria123 If you would analyze the artistic development and potential of this song, you'd regret saying your unjustified point of view. The Banshees were so intelligent that they reversed their recording of John Cale's ''Gun'' and developed this track, then they played the melody and Siouxsie decided to sing with different microphones. This is a masterpiece, so please, don't say it sounds bad, it sounds awesomely.

After the brother and sister leave the cafe and get the call from the psychic, the song that's playing on the radio is "Peek-a-Boo". Most people mistake it for an updated version of "Jeepers Creepers". :)
jesus..I only watched this outta morbid curiousity ..I shagged a goth bird years ago who played this throughout if you get me..just hearing it again makes me wanna wash the stink of that horrible oil goths put all over themselves..nostalgia's not what it used to be...
A few years ago in London I passed her in Shaftesbury Avenue. She looked RIGHT AT ME as we passed. I did a huge double take, mouth dropping open. She smirked as she passed, as if to say "Yeah, thought that might happen..."
primero grabaron la música, luego la tocaron al revés y ahí grabaron las voces.....first they recorded the music, then they played it back and finally they put the voices......
la música de esta canción fue grabada al revés....es decir, primero la grabaron "normal" y luego al ponerle las voces la tocaron hacia atrás..... por eso los "efectos"... una genialidad de los Banshees!...... they recorded the music of this song "normal" and then they played it back from the end till the begining and finally they put the voices .....
@caloy5000 hola,mira si la tocan en vivo, pero obviamente no suena igual...y personalmente creo que usan pistas de las bases... yo el año 89 estaba en el colegio y me compré este "cassette single" y aún lo tengo..es una joyita!!!!
I first saw this vid in the summer of 88 on the chart show and it grew on me instantly, I think it was directed by Tim Pope who did vids for the Cure, I'll stand corrected if I am wrong on this point.
Are you sure about that ? gladiator was filmed by Ridley Scott , who was a director of Fame when this video came out ( Blade Runner, Alien , at that time) . Unless he was friend of the band, or liked specially their music, or there is an amazing story , i doesnt soun believable at firts sight., but if you ve got mor info please share it
Yes, I'm sure. Ridley Scott is the director of Gladiator, Director of photography is John Mathieson. And he's the one who filmed the Peel-A-Boo videoclip.
Look at IMDB or thebansheesanothercreatures,it's also mentioned there.
I luv Souxsie and the Banshees! I saw her LIVE in Portland, Oregon! WOW what a show! she freaking looked and sounded AMAZING!! Forget about those lame wannabes Siouxie is and will always be the BEST!
