Siouxsie and the Banshees - Rawhead and Bloodybones

[1800LoveYou]

A fave Siouxsie track!!!!! Another song that reminds me of this is by Golden Gate Chapel-The Offering

[1800LoveYou]

@1800LoveYou Actually I meant The song Order #9 by Golden Gate Chapel

[doobiesmoke15]

Wasn't this inspired by a Clive barker story?

[LongBongSilvers]

Lyrics? I can't quite make out whats being sung.

@LongBongSilvers Bad word, Or bad deed, Unpunished invites grief, Here's Rawhead and Bloodybones Reaching from Dark cupboard Crouching under stair, Lurking in chimney, Pond or well We're down here, Held here Dragged here And drowned here by Rawhead and Bloodybones Pop eyed, Horns, Bushy tailed Long teeth and Claws as well Rawhead and Bloodybones

[delmonty]

this is beautiful, thank you to whoever it was that I forget now who mentioned this elegant song.

[RoyalParasite]

Isn't this from the French version of Alice in Wonderland?Ah,I love it!Siouxsie and the Banshees is my favourite band :)

[Evahrab]

@RoyalParasite Not French, but, Czech (well technically Czechoslovak, as it was made just before the fall of the Iron Curtain). Long live Svankmajer!

[Imkittie]

I was so happy to find this video, just in time for Halloween.. speaking of.. anyone have the Halloween Siouxsie song on youtube?I love it, thank you for posting! Sound is perfect too.

[LunaSeaSane]

From "Peepshow". Great piece.

[ShaBomp]

This used to be my absolute favorite song such a long time ago.

[Korious1]

Did the person who animated this also do Oingo Boingo's Insanity?

[RainbowMonkeeMittens]

I doubt it, likely just "inspired" by Švankmajer. The only music vid that her did do that I'm aware of is "Another Kind of Love" (1988) - for Hugh Cornwell (yes, it can be found here on the "tube"! : )

I searched for you but came up empty for a director for the Oingo Boingo video (sorry).

[RainbowMonkeeMittens]

oops, HE not her, my keystroking must be getting lazy! (sorry)

[carrollthirteen]

Actually, Neco z Alenky is the Czech title of the movie. It was done by Jan Svankmajer.

Cool clip though, the music and visuals work well together!

[RainbowMonkeeMittens]

Thanks, will make that correction ASAP (sorry for that)!

This is just a "junk" vid thrown together for a little Halloween fun, so I'll be taken it down this evening anyway! RMM∞

[carrollthirteen]

don't take it down! It's neat!

and far from "junk"!

[RainbowMonkeeMittens]

Thanks carrollthirteen, but it's really just a slap together, no real effort involved. Tell you what, since it's election season I'll leave it to a vote. If no one else chimes in for it's removal by 12:00 p.m. on Nov. 4th, I'll leave it up! I always did like this song, and there isn't another vid out there on "the tube" using it at the moment, so I suppose it wouldn't kill anyone if it continued to take up a little space here. :) Thanks again for crx, and the compliment!
