This was my fave song by her growing up. I didn't realize until a year or two ago what the line "he's too busy hitting the vaseline" meant until I seen the video and she pats her butt at that part.
Pure class, when you compare this performance with some of the gobshite we have to endure on today's female music scene, Kate Bush could be from another planet.
Kate, as you may or may not know, has a little bit of Irish in her, as her mum Hannah Daly is from County Waterford, now if I had me evil way, there'd be a little bit more of the Irish in her.
She doesn't point she taps. Try listening to Kashka From Baghdad. She was meant to sing "In your Warm Room" on a kids show but the BBC decided ti was too inappropriate. She suggested "Kashka" they agreed. Though how they decided a song about two men making whoopie was more appropriate is beind me considering the perion when it was done.
at first i didint have a clue who she was and i didnt even hear a name "Kate Bush" and then I played GRAND THEFET AUTO - Vice City and now LOOK shes AWSOME <3 <3 <3
I remember watching this song when I was about 5 years old and trying to dance along with it. She was and is THE best female vocalist and performer of out time! Love you Kate!
never thought that a song that makes references to the shallow business that is show and refers to a sex act as cheesy. IN fact for 79 when it was released it was very brave.
This song & video = magical! Especially when she's behind those lights at 1:18 and 2:42. I swear, if this isn't considered a highlight in the history of music, I would be pissed.
@neil1963creed Well for me Kim Wilde is the ultimate No.1, but the 80s was full of great females in a way there would never be again-& Kate was definitely one of those. Few were from the US (unsuprising for a country that gave us that Madogga slag-for riches, sex, attention & nowt else, but Pretenders, Debbie Harry, Bangles, Aimee Mann, Voice f The Beehive were great & Pat Benatar had her moments-as did Wilson Phillips. Sod all else though-same for the men!
One day, she will be recognize for wath she where: a great singer, a great composer, a great performer....I dont understand why, when there's a review of the last decades best female singer, she's rarely in....Probably because she,s British, and to intelectual.....
thanks GTA VICE CITY MY FAV STATION USED TO BE "FEVER 105"AND GOT OF SICK OF THE SONG SO I FOUND EMOTIONS AND I\I USED TO HATE THIS SONG AND THEN I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AND THEN I CAUGHT MYSELF WAITING FOR IT TO COME ON TO SING IT NOW IM HOOKED TO KATE BUSH LOOOOOVEEE THIS SONG!
Kate is the original.......w/out her...no TORI NO PJ NO BJORK NO FIONA.....as much as I love them all, Kate bush is still the undisputable BEST!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing she released two albums in the same year: 1978. That's impressive. Today's artist would only release an album between a two year period. But I was wondering why her second album, Lionheart, wasn't well-received as much as The Kick Inside was? Was the music critics expecting the same type of style that The Kick Inside was. I know Wow was a very modest U.K hit, but I was wondering why were the critics so disappointed in Kate's second album?
She had already written and composed several hundred songs before her debut album was released. It was of course normal to use the best ones on the debut album. Lionheart became like an album of rejected songs not used on the debut album 'The Kick Inside'.
Or perhaps she just didn't spend long enough time picking the best songs for Lionheart.
I've liked Kate Bush since the '80s when "Hounds of Love" got lots of play on alternative radio, but I was largely unaware of her stuff prior to that. Wow is right! She's very compelling to watch and her musicianship is amazing too, especially considering she was around 20 when this was made/recorded. I can't stop watching it.
A totally unique and original artist like Kate is a rare thing indeed! She is an exceptional singer, composer and lyricist. She was only 20 at the time, and as some people have said, she 'came to the pop world fully hatched'. Note how she says the stage actor's too busy to make "The Sweeney" (a British TV police series of the time), because he's "hitting the vaseline", and then she taps her bum, if you didn't get that he was gay in the first place! How extremely daring! You gotta love her!
Actually the vaseline reference is about vain actors who order the substance to be put on the lens before a scene. it softens the impact of the visual...
Yes, I can see part of that explanation too, but then why would she tap her bum when she sings the line? Also, the vaseline lens is exclusively, as far as I can remember, applied to actresses not actors. Yes, vaseline can soften the impact on many spots .... I don't want to flaunt a randy mind here, but the fact is that Kate has sung a number of songs with gay themes, especially on this album ('Lionheart').
I like Kate Bush. Her music, all though more than 30 years old, is unlike anything I have heard since, plus she is down right pretty. I really love this song. I think she is an amazing sinnger song wirtter.
