Siouxsie & The Banshees Kiss - Them For Me (Top Of The Pops) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@LogicalChronicalPhenomenal]

The song is about Jayne Mansfield's death and is a tribute to the old blonde bombshell Playboy actor and star. She would say Kiss Them for Me to her kids, as well as the movie she starred in.

[@bugsby4663]

One of the greatest and most innovative bands ever - punk, new wave, psychedelia, goth, rock and more.

[@cappyGLA]

Her genres were like a swiss Army knife a true punk rock Diva.

[@missq3989]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BAND. Peek-a-boo is another great track

[@dreamslikewater]

You should check out her side project The Creatures. Amazing in its own right. The Creatures is Siouxsie and her husband (at the time) Budgie who was also the drummer in the Banshees.

[@eidetecker]

"Cities In Dust" is one of Siouxsie's finest brews.

[@DazzleMonroe]

I saw them 4 times. First time in 1979 and last time in 1988. They never failed to deliver the goods, even when Siouxsie did a show in a wheelchair.

[@nodroGnotlrahC]

The guys sitting down are playing Indian instruments - tabla and samvadini. You can find a picture of that exact setup on the wikipedia page for "Indian Harmonium" - another name for the samvadini.

Siouxie and the Banshees one of the great post punk/goth bands of the 80s/90s.... it's a different vibe but one that i've loved for decades

[@histatimaniples]

70s* too

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Agreed, but what was the garbage of the first minute?

[@Laraikha]

I believe the instrument is called a harmonium.

[@briansohr2319]

Such a hot song... Her vocals are great, and the beat kills

[@sarahzentexas]

Siouxsie Sioux!!! Legend. Also: great jacket she’s wearing.

[@mathewkeipert6021]

Adore this song.

[@Problembeing]

I have loved this song since it came out.

[@michaelmaez2456]

Early 90s, this was their biggest hit in the US.

[@missq3989]

Oh MY GOD. I LOVE THIS SONG ! Also Peek - a - boo ( 12 inch version ) is mental . The best accordion rift in the WORLD

[@lovewalruss]

Brilliant song. Brilliant band. Brilliant Siouxsie! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

I adore this band ! In the beginning , I hear to the synthetiser Roland D-50.

[@tedtheyerl5090]

Love this song - keeps running through my head! Ground fog, and I'll take any the hair too ;)

[@brianrichards7441]

This is the first time you’ve heard this song? I love S&TB. They are amazing.

[@dupreecharley]

Oh. A different vibe is Siouxsie and the banshees - FACE TO FACE. 1992 on the Batman Returns soundtrack

[@robhaunui8892]

Definitely in my Siouxsie and The Banshees Top 5

[@davidcreager1945]

I have been a huge fan of siouxsie for years! They do a great cover of dear prudence by the Beatles, check it out. Her voice is amazing 😍

[@histatimaniples]

Siouxsie thought she was covering a female artist . She’s not a Beatles fan

[@markr1574]

holy cow is that a hurdy gurdy? The song is about Jayne Mansfield, who was in the movie Kiss Them For Me.

[@SkeeterNYC]

The actual video would've been more appropriate than a TV show lipsync. Talvin Singh's genius percussion really made this track. Having seen them live at least a dozen or more times The Banshees always put on a great show.

[@johnsrensen3366]

Great artist ❤

[@Spaceman-jo5mz]

When this song came out I was Slayer, Megadeth, but was totally mesmerized by this song the from the first time I heard it….still am

[@daxmargo8078]

this was Top of the Pops, not sung live, pre recorded. But still a great song, one of her most pop songs.

[@LanaLandon]

Group:Modern English - Ill Melt for you. Is a great song! Im from San Angelo,Texas

[@cappyGLA]

Do you know guys know this was a tribute to Jayne Mansfield? BTW you guys rock xx

[@brothermangill7525]

Good shit.

[@jamiehanley3419]

I adore siouxsie

[@dkalbryte6774]

Kiss them for me is about Jayne Mansfield- tragic death

[@missq3989]

You keep stopping before the best key change !

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Outstanding to see this as a live performance, I've only ever seen the music video before. I have a real history with this album as Superstition came out right when I have begun a brand new relationship and this was kind of our record. Her previous work is brilliant how old though it is more Jagged and it took her a long time to find her groove but each incarnation of the Banshees is special. I can say without a doubt that Tinderbox my favorite album in their discography, as it marks a. Between the very Jagged and punk early years and the more sophisticated and dreamy. That this album represent. Again it's all really good stuff but that one record Tinderbox is particularly bad ass. Great to see that you guys are loving this.

[@nicholasmangialardi1618]

It's the studio version, but lip synched

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

@@nicholasmangialardi1618 Clearly; yes. But I love Siouxie's interaction with the audience as well as to the cameras in this "live" environment. Live as in I guess everyone there is breathing. beyond that, it's cool pantomime.

[@michaellyons9678]

the fog welcome to dry ice uk discotheque in the 70/80s great days

[@starlightperkins330]

The song is about the late actress Jayne Mansfield. This isn't the entire song

[@jerrywood4508]

They cut the song off. The last part is where she alludes to Jayne Mansfield's death in an horrific auto accident. I wonder if that's why they cut it short, but, really, it's in no way explicit.

[@sjfvet519us]

I don't know what the instrument is called, but both seated musicians are playing instruments from India. I saw a concert video where Nina Hagen was playing the "squeezebox". This is a song about 1950s sex object film star Jayne Mansfield who was decapitated in a car crash. She also had a heart-shaped pool. I'm disappointed that you didn't play "Merry Xmas" by Nina Hagen for Christmas.

[@daxmargo8078]

oh yeah the silent night nina hagen version is great!

[@Problembeing]

Ah - and have you reacted to Face to Face, the song they did for Batman Returns? Amazing song.

[@dupreecharley]

Look up Siouxsie Sioux with Basement Jaxx - Cish Cash 2012?

[@kevinlangley9644]

Great song but so sad. Jayne Mansfield. What a beauty she was.

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

Random thoughts: Gwen Stefani sounds a little like Souxie; the drummer looks like Switch from The Matrix.

[@Tuatara587]

All time fav band and for 30 years or more. Check out Christine.

[@lobomotores850]

Yeah a really clasic

[@histatimaniples]

Dazzled from them is the best

[@iwannotowidigdo9474]

Great song and review. Try Murdering Mouth with Siouxsie, John Cale, and Budgie.

[@undrentide1972]

Jolly pop song, this was heavily edited for totp… the song is actually about the beheading of actress Jayne Mansfield in a car crash!

[@glynwigley1581]

Jayne Mansfield wasn't beheaded in a crash. It was her wig they found on the road.

[@Problembeing]

You should react to her solo stuff too. Like the video for Into a Swan.

[@manosduras1]

[@e.m.b2834]

Do Paul weller in the jam days.. funeral pyre live...

[@VaughnBrown1965]

have you never seen an accordion before? DUDE??

[@seayleighstewart2345]

guys!! for fuck's sake! i thoroughly enjoy your banter, but goddammit your constant stopping the video drove me fucking CRAZY. just sayin. yeah, i still hit the Like. but come on. watch it back and tell me...i was into hearing what you thought (love Siouxsie : ), but not every ten seconds. and not when moving through this incredibly unique chorus. k. hushing now. xo shaylie

[@GaryColemanNC]

Too many goddamn interruptions for such a song...

[@lobomotores850]

Guys please teact yo BATMETAL Is very funny

[@jefmay3053]

Plus this song is about a woman being decapitated!!!!!

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Top of the Pops always makes the bands lipsync unfortunately :(
