I LOVE IT! ITS DE-LIGHTFuL! & shes CHARMING!! Kate iIS a natural..as in true genius..so after she got over the SHOCK & ASSAULT! (remember artists are very sensitive, esspecially the ones that are WAY out there, like DALI, Leonardo, & our Kate, ..thats what makes em great) after she absorbed it she HAD to at least appreciate the outstanding effort! and how creative it was & in a way, It's a tribute! one as CrAzY as she is!

@voiceoftruth2006 That was 100% the EMI at that time.

@Sharmilka

"I know Kate was angry and sad about this."

Don't be too sure about that. The credits for that episode of NOTN included "Additional Music - Catherine Bush."

bitch wishes she was as pretty as Kate

@mmeta As she said herself, after several years she didn't mind it at all (in 2005 :P ). And she has a great sense of humour herself. All that messages, interviews in which she acts as a mad woman are brilliant! Swimming with dolphins is my favourite together with the message for Mark and the Dutch interview about Aerial. And her msg for Noel made me laugh, too. I hope she will do that more often. She's amazing. I admire her and I started to understand British humour thanks to her. ;)

@Sharmilka I didn't realise she was... but judging how she received Noel Fielding, she wouldn't have been if this was now. I agree with everything you say, no one does a leotard like Kate!

@mmeta I know Kate was angry and sad about this. Me too, at one point. But I know it's funny AND brilliant. One just need to get some distance from the Image of Kate.

I studied the lyrics- ineed very well done!

And I know it's not laughing at Kate directly but at what people saw in her.

Leotards rule!

@Sharmilka On the contrary, this skit is highly complimentary... they're basically saying she's sexy, intelligent, well read and has an amazing vocal range (all true). And it's pretty well researched - there are are so many references to her clips and songs (and they even predicted others: "Fibonacci series"--> "Pi", "open the windows in my mind" --> "Leave it Open") which shows they really appreciate her.

Thanks for the great quality clip of this great quality skit!
