Kate Bush - Hammer Horror

[Moonchile]

Wow, terrifying expressive.. .

[EmmaDivaOfficial]

A real artist.

[StevenLJohnson]

This would be a great song for Glee!! j/k ;-)

[AustralianWild]

@StevenLJohnson best comment on all of youtube

[Symphonyofflowers]

@katebushisagenius No, her name is Catherine Bush. Mary was just a confirmation name.

[lucypuddlejumper]

Best kate video EVER!

[Silverbirch4444]

I looovvvvvvvve Kates 'Lionheart' Album.

So overlooked, which is a travesty, as the album transports you to another world as soon as you hear it.

The wonderful world of 1970s Kate Bush!

[TheOnelegman67]

New album Nov 11 - fantastic!!!

[madelinde10]

what is Kate her real name?

[raintalonwindclan]

This song is kinda haunting, if you know the story.

[liquillian]

So kooky and weird.I total love her so much.What a lucky cunt that guy is thats getting to feel her up with the pretext of dance.I would sell my left eyeball if it could have gave me one night with her in her prime.

[lucypuddlejumper]

I am going to listen to this song at least fifteen times today.

[hilsd2643]

I love Hammer horror films and I love Kate Bush! Can't really go wrong here!!

[lucypuddlejumper]

@hilsd2643

What exactly is a hammer horror film?

[hilsd2643]

@lucypuddlejumper Hammer were a British film studio who specialised mainly in horror films from the mid fifties till the mid seventies. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were in quite a few of them amongst others.

[lucypuddlejumper]

@hilsd2643

Oh! Thanks for telling me! Are they very terrifying? I had better watch one. I love horror films, but, sadly, am scared quite easily. Even if they are very scary, I'd probably watch 'em anyhow. :)

[liquillian]

@lucypuddlejumper .They are about as scary as the waltons.Some of them were great though,well worth a watch.More funny than scary.

[mrsjax]

This is my fav Kate Bush Song, she is so wonderfully weird! Ab Love IT!

[EATCAKEWORSHIPSATAN]

@vishiquals it probably annoys you even more that the 'banshee' is mega famous and talented and you are neither :D............

[MrDFD25]

one of my top 3 favourite kate vids, just one question, does anybody know what the story is for the song?

[vinstrumentals]

Great video performance

[1legman]

@vishiquals - do you have ears? I presume not, because you're obviously not listening to Kate Bush when you make your comments!

[xiaofeiyang]

What kind of idiot randomly messes about with USB devices whilst uploading Kate Bush?

[hannahmoulden]

22 people envied the guy in the hood!

[tutuvo07]

i can't stop watching her videos :(

[mermaidman1985]

she is a remarkable woman like.

[grimsac]

She is the Queen of my wet acid dreams

[ZRedPoppy]

Now, that's real Horrorshow!!

[TrapWolf]

Trippy hands.

[Sharmilka]

@LadyGaGaMonster4Life So hello there, Little Monster :) (no offence, I've been introduced to her new concepts recently...)

I guess comparisons are inevitable....

[peterikarlstad]

How cool is it to name a song after the legendary Hammer Horror films? It is unbelieveably cool!

[peterobs]

This song was promoted in Australia with an appearance she made on "Countdown" (a fab music show) - Same chorie and mimed vocals. Like this - You get to see her cheeky expressions.



[cloudofthought]

Such a visionary! Kate Bush integrated the windows 3.1 alert sound into this song years before Windows was even around! @ #t=02m53s

[ThePROTO1TYPE]

@cloudofthought Sorry but you're wrong - these alerts were NOT in the original version of the song. They've obviously ben added much much later - probably by whoever posted this video. Nevertheless a classic song from Miss Bush. What a lengendary artiste , totally in a league of her own.

[cloudofthought]

@ThePROTO1TYPE I was being facetious, calm down. :)

[ThePROTO1TYPE]

@cloudofthought Ok, sorry I got hot under the collar. Anyway we both like KB, that's all that matters. PEACE !

[KelwinDicks666]

Respond to this video... 

[yardbirdsweet]

I love how the computer alerts sync up with her eyes darting around. I thought it was part of the song at first.

[artemisiacc]

She's so pretty in this video!

[poisonchihuahuas]

I love the "oohhoohoohooo" part at 2:40, its so pretty! rock on, Kate!

[Carrefour69]

Fabuleuse excellente une princesse

[CallumJStewart]

I love the face she makes on the line about having a hunch. Around 3:14 or so.

[MrKensingtonGore]

Oh happier days. Can tell you now, as KB was a big fan of my work she insisted I appear in one of her videos, yes viewer I am that lucky dancer.

I insisted on appearing incommunicado for equity reasons. Wish I could still do those moves; my wife Marge wishes too ;-)

[Katefanforever]

@MrKensingtonGore.Are you Anthony van Laast?

[redsquarenine]

Don't touch those USB devices!

[372Jimc]

Want to know about Kate's beauty? I had a friend of mine, a graphic designer named Richard, who was as gay as the day is long. He did some artwork for Kate, and told me that she was the one woman he would switch sides for, he found her so beautiful. Now THAT is powerful beauty!

[annataria92]

Why do we have to constantly compare artists? I love Kate Bush but I love Lady Gaga as well I don't think that should make me any less of a person. Everyone has different tastes, everyone has guilty pleasures just let people listen to what they want to. And stop being musical snobs, just because you don't listen to Katy Perry or Lady Gaga doesn't make you better than anyone.

Jeezzz just enjoy the music and shut up .

[lessermystery]

@annataria92 No one cares if you love Gaga or not. Just keep gaga love to gaga forums is all we're asking. Shill.

[99fruitbat]

Bought her very first album when it first came out..what a lady.....she was such a breath of fresh air...so new...so innovative...bought everything she ever did....so sad when she left the music production. There are many talented ladies in the industry now...respect to them and their fans....but oh my !! Kate Bush !!!! xxxxx.

[PaulSimonIsCUTE]

lol my sister just goes "........what the fuck is wrong with those 19 people!" XD

[jtarantula3390]

her voice @2:36 beautiful

[SnappyPenguins]

@jtarantula3390 I agree, although I think her most beautiful part is 0:00-4:19.

[jtarantula3390]

@SnappyPenguins HAHA, OF COURSE!

:)

[dutchiebunny]

Before wasting your money on Cialis or Viagra, try THIS video!

[thebfunkthebfunk]

Couldn't agree more! Kate Bush was a maverick artist who changed music and whose influences continues today. Katy Perry is a fatuous, page-three-girl talent-vacuum tart.

[joebstarsurfer]

she has an interesting imagintaion even when it doesnt work.Army dreamers the best thus far.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

My fellow Kate fans, let's agree to this pact... do NOT bring up Lady Gaga or ANY other artist who does not relate to Kate in ANY way on ANY of Kate's videos. By doing that, we won't have the comment sections taken up by pointless and stupid arguments about Gaga's or someone else's artistry vs. that of Kate's. Agreed?

[xbertocoaylax]

@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel This shit is on like every video of a cool song on youtube.

[bogeybast]

Look closely: her dance begins with hunchback posture, imitating the central character of the narrative. Good touch.

[bogeybast]

The song is a tribute to Hammer Films, a company specialising in horror movies. The story of the song concerns an actor who gets thrust into the lead role of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and ends up being haunted by the jealous original actor, a friend of the song's narrator until the re-casting. The B-side of the song was "Coffee Homeground", which also featured on Lionheart.

[gloobyclamshakes01]

what a weird chick

[KiseliJohann]

This is fucking amazing!

[DutchSteamboat]

Who's that lucky devil with his hands all over her?

Tough job but someone has to do it.

[PicktheRareFlower2]

. Theres nothing dated about Kate Bush even after 30 years or so .Personally i doubt if Gaga's efforts will even be remembered after only half that time given the fact Gaga music is way to mainstream and manufactured for teen girls ,some who think Justin Bieber is progressive . upbeat ? well yes but style ? sorry ,theres absolutely nothing stylish about her simple tunes and that's all they are .simple . forgettable and disposable .like 90%of the music today .:)

[ccm800]

@PicktheRareFlower2 more schtick than substance is Gagas problem. But Madonna is still relevent and she certainly was schtick over substance...I guess time will tell but Gaga sure has wore out her welcome for me and I am a fan.

[Michellekai79]

Oh God. Comparing Kate Bush to Lady GaGa is like comparing the Gettysburg Address to a Bazooka Joe comic.

Seriously, you could not proclaim your lack of taste, musical sophistication, and your overall stupidity more loudly.

[WoodRatGirl]

One of my favourite songs, by this goddess. Though in saying that, it's hard to pick a fave with Kate.

[Lucanking]

Kate Bush is okay if not dated, but Lady Gaga's music is much better. It's modern, upbeat and has style.

[sickofwaitingtables]

@Lucanking

TROLLLLLLL.

[arabiansanchez]

to give my 2 cents on the obscure Lady GaGa debate going on, I'm actually a fan of Lady GaGa. Is she anywhere near Kate Bush's league in singing, dancing or lyrical intellect? No, not close in any way.

[SnappyPenguins]

@arabiansanchez Oh, god, somebody that likes Lady Gaga. Oh, well, at least you understand that he's absoluely nowhere near as good as Kate. He'd only look good with a huge spike shoved up his arse, in a cage, in public so I can laugh at him while I watch him die very slowly and painfully.

[arabiansanchez]

@SnappyPenguins Riiiiiight, little OTT perhaps?

[SnappyPenguins]

@arabiansanchez That's your opinion, but I thought I was being generous.

[SnappyPenguins]

@JustJackXoXo So you're saying that Kate Bush was the annoying slut of the 70s, who would pollute the radio with badly written songs, with lyrics about nothing but sex, drugs and gambling? She would make herself stand out to gain attention she didn't deserve, she would do disgusting, evil things just to get the media on her? I don't think so. There are no words to decribe how fantastic an artist Kate Bush was. Full stop.

[Sharmilka]

...and I don;t understand what are Gaga's WORSHIPPERS doing here...? Just to contradict Kate's fans? Please..

[darksidedestiny]

She's so talented and sexy! This has got to be one of my favorite Kate Bush songs. Aaaah, I've got such a crush on her :p

[Sharmilka]

This is what I call the art of dance. Her body tells a story. What story is behing Lady Gaga's moves...? 

[Blickkontakt]

@Sharmilka

if you ever saw Gaga performing live, you wouldn't post such pointless comments.

why even compare? i don't get you. stop hating.

[Sharmilka]

@Blickkontakt rotfl, are you a troll? Where did you notice my hate? Or maybe you are simply overreacting? I guess so.

I like Lady Gaga, she is a pop Marylin Manson to meand a great producer. But I don't like her style, it's nothing more but shocking and entertaining. She made herself into an icon, great. But I doubt that I will come back to her old songs next year. I listen to Kate every year... That's the difference.

I think Kate's dancing is an art. It is not for shocking, but thinking.

[Blickkontakt]

@Sharmilka

i am sorry, i was surely overreacting.

[Sharmilka]

@Blickkontakt Kein Problem. Es ist normal wenn man jemanden liebt.

Liebe Grusse!

[TheJohngoss]

theres only one kate

[paulveldhuizen1]

Pretty for the quality, but verry cool number

[MrsRhythmNation]

17 people accidently pressed dislike because they put a mask over their face like the male dancer on this clip. They want to dance with Kate.

[ambertjeblue]

Always so original, loved her the first time I saw this, a loooong time ago. Delighted to say I still think she is amazing.

[Mechness]

Damn you for making me pointlessly fiddle with my USB connections!

[FeedsNoSliesMusic]

@Mechness I'm using a different sort of Windows with nothing connected and I still went to put all the wires back in.

[nancyrowina]

@Mechness lol. I wondered if it was me too. :) great quality video other than that though.

[nutherefurlong]

@Mechness *laughs* I'm glad I checked if it was the video! Was driving me crazy! :)

[s10wcheetah]

This is fucking fascinating

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

Windows XP USB sound on... Windows XP USB sound off...

Same as cocaine.. :p.....

[baroondiwand]

my favourite kate Bush song & Video

[TheLegendOfZelda100]

It's nice to see that there can be dancing that doesn't appear sexual and just plain dirty which just appears stupid.

[1whokncallthethunder]

intriguing

.



[KamenRiderNecro]

Whatever this song is about, it is wonderful as usual since Kate can do no wrong in my eyes for the most part. She is gorgeous, talented, intelligent, and in total control of her career--how can I not admire and respect that? I admire how artsy she is in that she puts on a show and tries to make a total experience for the viewer here. Wonderfully done!

[The175thCHANNEL]

Is this song about Hammer horror films?...seriously?...LOL

[keithdeweese]

@The175thCHANNEL No.  She's obviously referencing the Hammer films, but the song is about an actor having to play a role made famous by another deceased actor. She was inspired by James Cagney's portrayal of Lon Chaney, Sr. in MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES.

[Pjotr42]

@ballrigors I was thinking the exact same thing :-P

[ballrigors1]

i wanna be that dude behind her at :56. I bet he's boning her. If I was him i would put a stipulation that in order for my masked talents to be involved in this production there must be a open flap in the back of Kate's clothes and an open one in front of my nude penis for access to Kate's Bush. She's hot, in a demented sort of way, like that homeless lady down the street that makes weird faces.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@ballrigors1 What the fuck!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You are hilarious man. Seriously, I have a WTF face on while I type this. :D

[ballrigors1]

@LOLDISNEYLAND Thanks.

[dabsy71]

@ballrigors1 Spot on mate! Even down to the homeless lady.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@ballrigors1 but Kate Bush is like gold. Not a homeless lady. She is ring a ding ding!

[KatesPinkZeppelin]

@ballrigors1 Haha great comment in a weird sort of way, she is so good looking.

[eroupopper]

this song sounds so mysterious, and her performance is very dramatic and artistic! i love this video, it's truly beautiful!

[9nova6]

@JustJackXoXo

go wash your mouth boy, really o.O

[tobynsaunders]

Well, that was thoroughly disturbing... to be fair, 'horror' is in the title.

[Pentalpha5]

Can hardly type for the tingles that song gives me...allways been one of my favourites out of so many great songs..like it so much even did an accoustic version

once, at an open mic night....Thanks for the great vid...

[LadieBunny]

I love Kate Bush music videos... they're so graceful, captivating, and genuine. True pieces of art :)

[michichu]

@JustJackXoXo Please don't compare Kate to Lady Gaga or Katy Perry. ESPECIALLY not Katy Perry. Ugh.

[garbageTipBoy]

@michichu If U fall into the trap of making comparisons there are none, KB is totally original and extra ord in ary, the others are nothing more than the usual garden variety pop music pulp, pumped out by the corporate music factory.

[themax316]

@michichu absolutely....kate bush creates her own sound, produces, can play several instruments, is well spoken, has a unique personality...is sensual without being cheap....I wish I could put her brain in a jar and carry around with me wherever I go

[SnappyPenguins]

@michichu I would agree with that comment 100% if you said "ESPECIALLY not Lady Gaga", but you didn't, so I agree with you 90% on that one! ;-)

[SuPaFly43218]

@michichu especially cuz this bitch is talentless and thinks she is actually groundbreaking. Sorry, your not entertaining, your just weird. Even Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have more talent than this ho.

[michichu]

@SuPaFly43218 The mere fact that your name is "SuPaFly43218," you don't know the difference between "you're" and "your," and the most intelligent thing you can come up with is "she's a bitch/ho" makes your opinion invalid. Go listen to some Glee covers, kid, and have a nice day. :)

[SnappyPenguins]

@michichu I have nothing to add to that. :-)

[HypernessOverload]

@SuPaFly43218 LOL! Your stupidity causes me great amusement.

[jackrayson]

@SuPaFly43218 OH NO YOU DIDN'T! Gaga and Perry aren't even in the same league/era/genre as kate, ergo, they cannot be compared. They're completely different. Kate is rock legend, your opinion of her won't change that. and she's not a ho! she's a nice lady!

[ThePROTO1TYPE]

@SuPaFly43218 You're a total idiot, get off !

[lessermystery]

@michichu Oh man, not again! Shills I tell ya. Gaga wants to bask in Kates light, without having to do all the hard work of actualizing Kate's enormous talent.

[Sniibul]

She's magical.

[TheWoodlandWitch2]

@JustJackXoXo Actually your comment puts those two artists on a higher level then Kate and I don't think you realize that she was performing and writing before those two were a twinkle in their fathers eye lol . as for any comparisons . Kate Bush blows them out of the water for sheer inspiration , influence and breath of vision .No competition really

[bbvn1]

@JustJackXoXo so much more than that. don't compare between trash and genius

[stainlessapex]

That's the scariest thing I've ever seen, no pun intended, it was really just frightening.

[SebaCful]

that dancer it´s taking advantage of his position. I don´t like particulary this song, but i see it on and on because of her. she´s magnetic.

[zandriaaz]

excellent ! she's terrific !

[medea1990]

@zandriaaz Sure she is!

[zandriaaz]

@medea1990 :)

[Adastra14]

her facial expressions take you everywhere she wants you to.

[purewish]

What makes it better is that most of the dances are all one take! Nowadays it's all choppy so it totally disguises how good a dancer someone is.

[jessieintheskywith]

This woman is a force of nature

amazing

the biggest influence on me

[Kaitzegreat]

I've been mindlessly watching youtube videos for the past two hours and was feeling sick from it when I got to this video. I'm halfway through it and now I just feel HAPPY and good.

[medievalMoon3]

If i was that heathcliffe and she appeared at the window id fuck off right rapid !

[moopsymoo1]

@medievalMoon3  So would i ,She as mad as a box of frogs ,

[medievalMoon2]

cooky and scary . and kids today dont know who she is ? lol what a sad bunch they are , but things are changing . i dont give a fuck about cheryl cole or Gaga crap wearing a telephone on her head ,everyone doesthat today with their mobiles lol

[goldenfilly]

i love what she wears, its so individual and interesting but not over the top and try hard, and its sort of era less

[Jay41]

God! I want to be that man

[genalof]

Without Peer

[iGooft]

And to think that she started after the punk subversion. In certain ways some of her histrionics are "punkish". She is gorgeous though.

[ghostfair]

Windows XP :D:D:D

Anyway . I cant stop listen (watch) her !

Like someone said : "when the music was art and the musicians were artists ."

[alanrich1956]

Kate is an absolute genius ............ went to see her at the Hammersmith in her early days. Its was more than a music gig, it was a pure theatrical performance of the highest calibre.

[alanrich1956]

Kate is an absolute genius ............ went to see her at the Hammersmith in her early days. Its was more than a music gig, it was a pure theatrical performance of the highest calibre.

[landocalrision]

just handlin it shes punk rock ok !

[huskyvanna254]

she really is something else...dont makem like her anymore....so...so...cool

[1973galaxy500]

Astounding. Brilliant. Bonkers. Breath taking. Astonishing.

[PostmodLovegod]

Kate always swelled my mighty hammer. Looks a little nuts in this one, though, like the mom in "Pretty Wild."

[doire1962]

Loved this single when it came out first.

[boswell255]

2:55 I love how she anticipated the USB add and remove sounds decades before they'd even invented them. She knew it would play tricks on us and have us searching round the back of our PC's for a lost memory stick.

[greenmagoos]

That sound was the dancer behind her trying to hammer down his usb stick- lol

[2012therock]

@greenmagoos Ha ha ha, He wants to download. lol

[greenmagoos]

He not the only one- lol

[2012therock]

@greenmagoos I`ll vote up for that GM.

[MmeLEnfer]

Funny, I got into Hammers and into Kate at the same time, more or less... I was surprised and pleased to discover this little gem, and it grew into a favourite.

[leabling]

What a woman I'm falling in love again

[jordanprincessai]

@leabling AGAIN? You mean you STOPPED being in love at one point? Shame on you. :P

[Dreaming32]

I just can,t get the fact that all her classic videos av never been released on DVD, it,s a Crime.

[ALittleGothicGirl]

She cracks me up. I love her =)

[bbvn1]

joining to the 15s below me. i feel lucky to know her music

what a genius...

[keithdeweese]

@maaadmango What's your age got to do with loving Kate Bush? Many of us were your age when she first released these songs, but we didn't make a big deal about it.

[llaslah]

@keithdeweese A lot of people assume that the only music our generation listens to is Rap and R 'n' B. We'd just like them to know that we love Kate too! Peace :)

[keithdeweese]

@llaslah Understood. Love who and what you love. You're in good company here and not many will question your taste :-) Kate Bush touches people of all ages. When I was 15, I loved Kate Bush, and when I'm 80--should I live so long--I'll love Kate Bush. She has music for every age, and her work is classic. Peace.

[FibreProperty]

I hope a new generation discover her.

I'm 16 and already wishing this was my time!

[Katefanforever]

@FibreProperty.You have a wonderful artist to discover!

[llaslah]

@maaadmango I'm 15 :) You have a great taste in music!

[supermaxim109]

There are many talented female artists now, but it's easy to forget just how far ahead she was and how few accomplish this kind of range... singer, dancer, songwriter, performer, musician, visual artist: a leader in all. And seriously sexy.

[Dreaming32]

She,s really sexy here, how lucky is that dancer getting hold of her like he does.

[petesapwell]

This 'woman', albiet an understatement... tears at every fibre of the teenage me (im 46 now) and Im certain I have tried to find her in every woman I have every met... Elements only... What a woman, vioce, she feeds my soul and blows my mind every time I see her, never saw her live.. wish so much that I had... Just Fantastic, earthy, passionate stuff... LOve you kate. Pete aged 13 :)

[DogginatorOne]

thumbs up - i'm 40 this year, femal - and she was always inspring and beautiful.

Her music accompanished my teenage days.

[Guusjj15]

She is beautiful! GREAT Kate! I love you!<3

[caf789]

I love horror.

And I love Kate.

Here i have two in one. <3

[briceska]

Amazing song! love it! Thought Debbie Harry was my first crush... but sorry Deb, it was Kate!

love love love this
