[illswimtheocean]

This song is in the movie Marie Antoinette

[McLarenMercedes]

yes, I even heard it first thanks to the awesome soundtrack

respect to Sofia Coppola

[buzzlightyear4]

Think this has gotta be my favourite

[stephenp1968]

I remember being so excited about discovering bands like this back in the early 80s. The Cure, JD, Depeche Mode, Smiths, Banshees, Cocteau Twins-all still my favorites.

[Nechepsos]

severin's basslines were the greatest!

[kirschwurm]

oh my god!! Siouxsie is so amazing! People were so much coole than nowdays^^

[buckaroo2323]

i was chased out of a pub in my home town for playing this on the juke box ......the 70s ahhhh

[bryngOneOn]

i was there andit was nothing to do with the jukebox buckaroo but the clothes u were wearing and how u got to dance, goths r still banned to this very day, ps hows the impediment, happy days

[buckaroo2323]

ah you know me so well , but may i correct you on a couple of points i was wearing work clothes[ overalls ]i wasnt dancing but eating the guys who chased us[ coal miners] did point out that punk rock offended their delicate sensibilities and what d d d do y y y you mean impediment..... look forward to your intelligent witty response

[ceasarev]

that okay buckaroo...i was escorted out for looking like Gandi in the 70s...

[buckaroo2323]

cheers

[Vroemmm007]

Fantastisch nummer. Voel me weer 17 ...:)

[zone1doorman]

when music was great with great band s and great songs this being one of them never trust a hippy

[Silregon]

Fantastic!!!!

[sixsecret]

Siouxsie And The Banshees very good

[mukatuna]

Great song is Hong Kong Garden, still one of my faves. I'm a Brit currently overseas in guess where?

[valentinapaaz]

so cool

[linaloli]

Well I am a Hong Kong-er, born and lived in here. IMO Siouxsie was trying to "mock" about the stereotype and racism that people had towards the Asians/foreigns.

I dont think she meant to discriminated Hong Kong!! Or else-- why she visited HK in 1980s, and even appeared in a local popular TV programme?

(for additional information: at 1978, Hong Kong was still a colony of UK =] )

Back to the song, I think it's great!!!!

[MAGPIE11177]

Sioux went to a regular take-away where the staff got a lot of abuse-she wrote this as a tribute/support.

[pendodecahedron]

she didnt write it somebody else did and initially offered the song to the sex pistols

[puacino]

Siouxie Rulez!

[sgrover1]

Mycats Breath Have you ever heard of context It was written in 1978. Nobody knew anything besides what books tolds you pusillanimous puke!

[unbelievaabblle]

I first heard this song in the movie Marie Antoinette. Love it!

[AbhishekMurudkar]

me too, absolutely loved. first i was like what the fuck they didn't even have this kind of music back then, but after a while i loved it.

[viryNandy]

yep and im 15 and i agree with ya! good shit!

[InfurnusChaotix]

Ohh la la! Not bad at all! My friend told me about them and I looked them up. Pretty awesome!!

[thyy]

hong kong garden. i wished they wrote this song in Hong Kong though.warm support from Hong Kong fan! When they released this song, I was not yet born!

But anyway, great song ever!

[Vulpster03]

I love siousxie. A current indie band out of Cleveland called Hot Cha Cha kind of reminds of them. Siouxsie fans should check them out.

[chocobere]

Why does every song mentioning China contain those silly chimes?

Same thing with David Bowie's "China Girl".

[MyCatsBreath]

Why do YOU think the chimes were added? Racism is alive and well.

[chocobere]

I think it's more about ignorance than racism... I just checked out the lyrics and noticed the yen/yuan confusion, wonder if it's voluntary. Also, I think it's China seen from the western point of view: "Chop suey", "bodies small in size", "Confuscius".... *sigh* Cliches die hard. For instance, everybody knows French people all ride bicycles with a baguette under the arm, a beret and that silly striped pull-over. AND grow a moustache. I'm gonna write the sequel song..."PARIS GARDEN" !

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

This song is outstanding and even though it contains some obvious cliches, I find it in no way offensive or degrading. As a matter of fact, the mention of Yen vs. Yuan is really of no consequence being that Japan based its currency (Yen) on the Chinese model, which has always been called Yuan and subsequently adopted the same character to symbolize it. I believe that this occurred in the late 19th or early 20th century when Japan did not yet have a centralized currency.

[s2kx2]

MyCatsBreath: "Racism is alive and well" because ignorant morons like YOU keep it alive by LOOKING for it in EVERYTHING - EVERYDAY! Your pathetic.

[hdje39m8]

Its idiots like u who have got nothing better to do than sit around looking for reasons to be offended , are u chinese ? No ? Shut the fuck up

[SquishyFishie]

wow all these young kids saying they like this band. well I've grown up on this kind of music. silly kids. this is prettty good shit.

[Yeledani]

great song!! I love this song!!!

[qux0tica1]

I love the songs, I listen to them daily my fav is trophy. :)

[conversecutie1234]

[mrsszmanda07]

Ive liked them since I was 12,Im 15 now and i love them even more!

[arlykamikaze]

lol me too! except i found the banshees when i was 13 and now im 17. now theyre one of my favorite bands :)

[mrsszmanda07]

Wow!..lol..my dad got me into them...he has liked them since the late 70s..:)

[betogomez]

[mrsszmanda07]

[SeleneCast00]

ditto...I can't stop liking them no matter what...they've got a big amount of real good songs...so I may have that one fave song of theirs but I know that's not the only on ethat I know is good

[ShootingStar723]

really awesome song dueds

[Eight648]

I remember this song and video from the late 1970s. This was the song that launched Siouxsie & the Banshees, one of my favorite groups of the time. Great times back then in the second half of the 70s and the first half of the 80s. Siouxsie & the Banshees were right in there and they were really great, too. No doubt about Siouxsie & the Banshees being a very powerful influence on both sides of the Atlantic on the music at that time and for some time afterward.

[nemirn]

she dropped the mic

[bjorkismyhomie]

damn this song is hot! i love SATB because they're so weird yet beautiful. i mean, listen to 'dazzle!'

[MrMarkoFarko]

A great tribute to Chinese takeaway. Loved it from the first day I heard it.

[unoojojoshua]

I have been listening to her for 30 years... HOLY SHIT !!

[miskitycat]

estoy muy segura de que karen ohhhh es muy fan de esta banda ...

me 2!!!

el video es muy bonito !!!

[creten69]

this song crosses so many lines,its just poetry,whats nice is that we're here right now,because its at the root of our souls.

[saphira1001]

This reminds me of when I was small and my mum used to plays songs by Siouxie and the Banshees in the car on the way to and from school, she still loves their music, but for some reason she barely ever listens to them now, I don't know why.

[craybee06]

sounds like your mom was pretty cool.

[7609haywire]

to puffpuffyogi: I had the same issue. I love Siouxie + crew, just had to simply let it go!!! It made the lyrics work. I'm sure Siouxsie knew, but had to go with it.

[trappdnwonderland]

luv itttt

[blackfoliage1]

Such a fun song to play loud while driving.

[xXxLumesUpInFumesxXx]

Agree much! :]

[saphira1001]

And then sing along to =) I can'tdriv (I'm 14 for crying out loud!), but whenever I'm in the car, I put this song on, turn it up, and sing along. Unless my dad's in the car, thenI'd never hear the end of it =(

[puffpuffyogi]

Its so cool cause when Siouxsie And The Banshees started, Sid Vicious was their original drummer........

[puffpuffyogi]

Are "Yens" Chinese or Japanese currency?..kinda confused..

[NessaGhouliful]

Most times both, typicaly Chinese

[NamelessFlux]

yen is japanese. yuan is chinese

[yankeecowboy88]

HONG KONG , UK ALL WAYS!

This was 1978, Kenny Morris was the drummer not Budgie. He joined in 1979. He divorced Siouxsie last year.
