Marianne Faithfull & Anita Pallenberg (Absolutely Fabulous)

[clojap]

This version of the song seems to have some keyboard effects added, is that a remix or was it just added for the show?

[bkmstones]

the most fabulous woman in the world ( marianne & anita ) <3

[dybbuk4640]

silly

[PiinkRock]

j'aime bien anita elle est diabolique...

[keen14you]

God is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!

[mtsn]

Interesting how after all these years even if you didn't know who they are/were you can tell who was married with which stone easily.

[patz4maine]

@mtsn...not married, just living in sin

[RocketHeadTV]

This video is portraying an acid trip.

[seulementmoi]

what's the name of the song?

[n9ne2006]

@seulementmoi Its called 'the ballad of lucy jordan'

[ElunedDdedwydd]

I love this scene, love AbFab, Love Jennifer & Marianne!

Marianne, you do great job as "God".

There is no limit to all the ironic and hilarious nuances in this show,

particularly this specific episode.

[citybeat60]

Marianne looks great in 2001.  Does she still look that good?

[ModGirl1967]

You gave me ephiphany and now you have forsaken me!

[jaimeamour]

i hate when this happenes to me in the morning when i am having a fat day.. but no marian or anita .. but sometimes the bed does float xxj

[fraserkatie]

I adore this scene where she is lying on the bed and gets sung to! Beautiful and wish they had done it for longer like it said in the audio commentary on the DVD!

[KateFenwick12]

The Stones Goddesses, two of the most gorgeous women on the planet.

[HP281]

Fantastic, these two ladies are in a league of their own!!!! Gotta love them you really have!

[fraserkatie]

Just reminding myself how beautiful this song is! I love this scene!

[belladonna1482]

Anita & Marianne still rock after all these years. Such charisma and beauty!

[namaste91]

Two 60s divas in one movie!Great!:)

[justincrase]

This is so brillant. the writing, the acting. It just couldnt of been any better.

[fraserkatie]

and the song is great in the programme! Just shows how Edina feels. Brilliant! My favourite bit after the Book clubbing episode!

[ModeratelyLucid]

Marianne is beautiful... and always will be a unique artist. I adore her voice. Raspy and sexy!

[east215]

I love the way Marianne sings this song now. It suits her mature voice, and she still hits all the notes. Sorry, but I can't say the same for "As Tears Go By". It's just too painful to see her do it now. The words really mean something at this stage of her life, but I prefer the 1965 version. Love the mature Marianne on all songs except "As Tears...".

[mrfoltz]

Marianne Faithfull "IS" God!!!!

And Edina is Gabriel ...

in "MY" Heaven anyway...... LOL

[Thejbirdy]

Our heaven too!!

[clivetemple]

Marianne still looks lovely.

[MissMeags0303]

Loved this episode! Marianne & Anita are still both totally gorgeous. No need for 'work' on them either. Leave 'stars' from today for dead...

[SummerBayJournal]

Possibly true - but Jennifer Saunders knocks them both out of the water! :D

[SukieWT]

Tottaly agree, Miss Meags0303 :D jen is a Goddess!

[edb081904]

@SummerBayJournal I love the fact that neither one of them has sought out the ghastly plastic surgery and love their independent in your face attitude!! No wonder they were so desired in the 60's

[WORLASS]

well said xxx

[WORLASS]

anyone tell me the name of this song

[scotjil]

The Ballad of Lucy Jorden

[WORLASS]

thanks xxx

[IdolHans]

I wonder if being gang raped by a bunch of black bastard baboons had any effect on Anita's love of them. After all, she was the one who invited the rasta types into her home in Jamaica. That's what started her troubles with the neighbors and the Jamaican authorities. But that was 35 years ago. I imagine all is forgiven now. Time for another party Anita!

[pf126p]

Frankly, I like this much better than any Stones.

[kahaki]

time waits for no one

[raidermom99]

damn, I know the feeling and I also miss Absolutley Fablous! Was an amazing show for those of us-you know!

[sophielago]

you can still see it on BBC America, and Netflix has it. :-)

[raidermom99]

thanks again! I'll remember that.

[allends612]

I love Marianne Faithful!

[krakendechris]

Gaaf ze is het dus echt,

heel mooi liedje ook

[LizzyDouglas]

In de sixties: De (aller)mooiste vrouw ter wereld, geen discussie mogelijk! En nu?? Een fantastische en opmerkelijke zangeres en... nog steeds een mooie en bovenal interessante vrouw!!

[bubbyzoo]

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffffffffffffffffffffffffffhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[eternalriver]

Marianne - hot!

[kahaki]

frightening visuals, but great dialog

[coralarch]

I would never have recognised Anita Pallenberg.

[spigola13]

me che merda è questa?

[06david06]

what song is this?

[Shere321]

the ballad of lucy jordan.

original by Dr Hook

[casadyrocks]

Shel Silverstien..DR Hook???

[Shere321]

Silverstein wrote it. Dr Hook and the Medecine Show sung it first.

[casadyrocks]

Wow! The things you learn! Interesting!

[monkfistlust]

Faithfull is my goodess since I child Ive met both

later in my late teens

I hung out with ANITA and Johnny THUNDERS smoking reefer and drinking screw drivers from a juice jar once in Keith Richards silver cloud limo Anita passed the bottle to me and John said HEY theres REAL VODKA in there kid! and I said WELL I HOPE SO..he just looked surprised like WHOOP! I looked like a farm girl not a groupie punk John was old fashioned italain. Anita laughed..it was a very cool 4 me evening in NYC!

[kickassfan]

lucky you.

[kickassfan]

lucky you.

[jaded0724]

that's the coolest thing i've ever heard. i'm actually sitting here jealous of you, haha.

Marianne Faithfull is incredible

[rnistuk]

Marianne Faithfull is amazingly talented.

[deetestlogins]

They surrendered a good chunk out of their lives for entertainment so show some REPECT YOU SLAGGERS!

Sometimes/Mostimes ppl piss me off,look in your own backyard and clean it up rather than looking in your own!

[SEATTLEGRL1]

It's amazing these women are still alive with their prior massive H addictions.

[IdolHans]

Anita looks like a used gnarly old whore now...doesn't she?

[cynthiacher]

She doesn't look like an used gnarly old whore; she IS a used gnarly old whore. Poor Marianne; her voice sounds like she has a bad case of strep throat.

[Hanksalot]

They both still alive and kickin and probably have interesting stories to tell

[IdolHans]

Hell yeah they have stories to tell. Check out Tony Sanchez's book "Up and Down With The Rolling Stones". Check out Anitas interview about Exile/Nellcote recording sessions on YouTube.

[ofcoursehesthefarmer]

Wasp!

[PAULLONDEN]

With such a username

don't expect your comments

to be taken seriously "Hanz"

[IdolHans]

Hey, I like Anita! Everytime I think about the things she did and said, I laugh out loud! Like the time she pissed off all her neighbors in Ocho Rios with loud parties-- they had her thrown in the Jamaican jail where the niggas gang raped her. She flew back to London covered in shit and Keith had to pick her up and take her home like that. Lovely!

[PAULLONDEN]

Everyone knows all these storys

She was (and probably is still)a junky

no one is perfect

At least SHE lived(s)

And by the way....take what Tony's written

with a pinch of salt.

[carbonero74carbonero]

awesome , thanx 4 post

[catherinetodd]

Great video; thanks for posting. So glad these two wonderful talented women have survived!

[steveconn]

Jeez, Anita went to hell (no pun intended)-whoo, whoo!

[djStrimmer]

I like every bit of Marianne.

Inspired idea to have this scene between them.

[IdolHans]

I keep forgetting that Anita was an actress---"Girl on a motorcycle" and "A Degree of Murder" and of course , Performance. And I keep forgetting to watch them---I've got them but I've never bothered to watch them!

[MrsFaithfull]

Marianne did 'Girl on a Motorcycle'..

[weenyone]

@MrsFaithfull Wasn' Anita a model and one time squeeze of one of the Stones

[mrgroove]

@weenyone

Anita Pallenberg was Keith Richards' girlfriend for years. She had two of his children and a third one that died shortly after birth. She also was Brian Jones' girlfriend before leaving him for Keith.

[mothersgrave]

@IdolHans She also was in Barbarella as the Great Tyrant.

[Charliaeffchen]

That's great!

[pandaeyes42]

Genius! Can't give you a reasonble explanation why, but Marianne's voice (both speaking and singing) makes me melt!

[InteriorCommando]

I'd like to sleep with both of em' now....I'll wager they could still give any 55 year old a good run for the money.....lol.

[MOTOPAC]

A masterstroke in casting!

[jokamatty95]

i'd give anything to sleep with anita in 1973!

[4N3v3r]

I've given your comment a thumbs up.Lord knows why it was down modded.Sheesh.

[lapalissiano]

loooooooooooove it!!!!!1

[dankton1976]

I like Marianne's mind and Anita's body

[jan141253]

I like it in reverse.

[fraserkatie]

AAARGH! I love this video!

[Ratt1971]

my mom loves her

[EmmHaich]

Marianne Faithfull has aged extremely well considering her past capers.

[midniteandshadow21]

Anita Pallenberg has NOT aged well! Faithfull is slightly better. Her voice is crackled from the drug overdoses.

[fraserkatie]

It's also my favourite out of Absoultely Fabulous!!!

[jan141253]

LEUK !!! Vindt Harrie ook vast wel !

[dandelin9]

"Girl babies in dustbins as a matter-of-routine." WOW. I LOVE the way she says that-- Yeah, it's a terrible truth to tell. But the way she says it is wild.

[carrotjuse]

It is a miracle those two women are even alive! At least half their friends are dead from the drugs they injected and swallowed. Two fabulous women who lived life to the absolute fullest, and lived to tell about it. There's no one like them around anymore. Mundus senescit.

[pierstheoneandonly]

A coup on the part of Jennifer Saunders. It's difficult to quantify Faithfull as a performer. Intelligent for sure, but no actor as can be seen here - Pallenburg is better.

[SummerBayJournal]

I love how to Edina Marianne Faithful IS God. She also appeared as God in a 1996 episodeof Ab Fab. "Will & Grace" totally ripped off this idea with Cher appearing in Jack's dream.

[sophielago]

And Dogma with Alanis Morissette, 1999.

[msherman212001]

This song is th Ballad of Lucy Jordan.

[fraserkatie]

OMG!!!!!! I love that song! Thats great!

[RockeNRollChild]

corgi37..Mick wanted George`s Patti you know:p:p

[audie83]

My two favorite Rock N' Roll women together-Pallenberg and Faithfull. :)

[paulthepill]

two hot women...what i'd give for a night with these two, an ounce of coke and endless crates of champagne

[cumbrian1]

how much did it cost for the best singers in the wourld to sing ike that

[Wee2Z]

Never seen that episode.. Absolutely faithfullberg. Thanx!

[fraserkatie]

The episode is called "Donkey" and the song is played in the middle when Edina is on a diet and trying to lose weight, and it's her dream! From Absolutely Fabulous.

[quad73]

very cool!!

[Wee2Z]

Freaky! Luv it. Thanx!

[1angel23]

Love Marianne and Anita

[corgi37]

2 icons of the 60's. The Stones had much hotter chicks than those wimpy-assed Beatles.
