Back in the 1990.s, when this song was big on MTV, girls asked me for translation from english to serbian. And...They "stayed with me". ❤ So, i have really good teenager's memorys on this song.😏 Anyway, i love your reaction and hello from Serbia 🇷🇸!💓💓💓
Hi Polo, thank you so much for playing my request. I thought you might like the video as well as the song, as it's a bit quirky. The two ladies in the video are Siobhan Fahey (ex-singer from the girl group Bananarama) and Marcella Detroit. Siobhan is Irish and Marcella is American. This Song was released in 1992. Apparently, Siobhan Fahey (the lady who comes on later in the video) drank a bottle of Vodka whilst waiting to come on and sing her part. I guess that partly explains her "manic" expressions! Loved your reaction, thumbs up from me and thanks again.
"Common People" from Pulp is another 90's gem that many people in the States may not be familiar with. Definitely worth a reaction. I highly recommend the full length album version and not the shortened, censored, music video... though the video is definitely cheesy.
If memory serves me, they had another really good song called "Hello (turn your Radio on)". Thank you very much, I always enjoy your reactions and thoughts. Have a great day!
This is such a beautiful song, and a surprise for everyone who sees the video for the first time, when death comes in. It has that 90's cheese layer that doesn't diminish the beauty or the power of the music, and everything combined makes for a music video that is hard to forget.
Oh this was fun. I loved that you paused it (unknowingly) just before the serious weirdness kicks in and said, "Well, the video's kind of weird" and I was laughing, thinking, "Oh, just wait..." LOL! Say, if you ever want to hear a bright, beautiful 80s hit that's kind of a One Hit Wonder, check out Steve Forbert "Romeo's Tune." The piano is gorgeous, his voice is kind of weird and smokey, and it's my favorite song of all time (Well, tied with Manfred Mann's "For You."
haha loved this song, the "weird" one was Siobhan a member of the girl group Banarama - and those women could drink haha (that was back in the 80s) 😂🎉🎶🇬🇧
Love this song. came out in 1992. Lead singer was a member of Bananarama but left the band. Band did not have a whole lot of hits but definitely made their mark. "Caroline" "Joey" are other songs by them worth checking out.
They were a great group. Check out 'I don't care'.. and in thier 2019 reunion, they do a spoof song of this song. Soon after this song (stay) the band split up, but the girls got back together again for a reunion album in 2019.
Great reaction Polo!! I LOVED this song when it came out (and 1992 was the year, so good call! Yes - cheese was ALL over the videos - and we ate it all up!) The character of 'death' is Siobhan Fahey, an original founding member of the 80's group Bananarama - where you might have heard Cruel Summer, or their cover of Venus. Cheers!!
The year before i went to the army, girlfriends aplenty, puppy love, fighting, drinking, partying, freedom. Incredible time. I was waiting for life to start, and there i was in the prime of it.
Makes me sad, thinking of my "baby" brother who we lost end of January this year. He was bathed by his partner in his final days and hours. Also he loved this song and had the album.
"Shakespeare In Love" (1998) is a romantic comedy starring Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow and won 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, so is a must see if Polo hasn't yet seen it.
At the time, it was crazy that Siobhan went from Bananarama to this. Incidentally, at the time, you could buy pre-mixed bananarama cocktails from the off-licence. They were great! 🤪🍸
Rounding the circle, Siabhan (Death) was married to Dave Stewart, who was part of the Pop Duo The Tourists, who became The Eurythmics. Annie Lenox (who you have Reacted to) was the other half of the Duo with Dave. Siabhan was part of Bananarama. And the guy on the table was boyfriend of one of the other members of Bananarama.
@@PacificJoe that's right. And Dave's collaboration with Terry Hall on "She" (with Charles Aznavour's cameo in video) had me in tears first time I saw it, with Terry's delivery. (Felt like one of those sad clown inputs in Operettas). Dave was far reaching at that time.
The second one "a great performer" was famously extremely drunk, she'd been waiting around all day whilst the first lady did her takes and got bored and ended up with many a vodka but the director went with it and thank god he did, this music video wouldnt have half the impact without this performance, meant to be lol
for some reason this reminded me of a really great performance/song called 'fake monk' by hua chenyu. Its just him and a piano playing live, but he gets right into a character and puts the old shivers up the spine :)
Sorry if you've done it already, but take a look at "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. All of her stuff is great but that really tugs on the heart strings. It's written from the perspective of a man anxious about his partner giving birth. It's powerful storytelling, much like all of her stuff. Also do "Wuthering Heights". Also, "Running Up That Hill". God, just do Kate Bush 😅
Siobhan (death) was in Bananarama ❤ Marcella, the lead on this, took part in an U.K. show Popstar to Opera Star. She’s incredible. It was the 90s. Videos are cheesy lol
I remember this! The second chic is like supposed to be a deity who is trying to challenge the grieving chic in like a battle of wills over that dudes life! Yeah it was pretty deep back in the day!
If you're gonna go down a cool 90's female rabbit hole, please please please listen to "Heal it up" by Concrete Blonde! Johnette Napolitano is my favorite female voice of all time!
It's actually a rather psychotic form of love that keeps you chained. "You can only think of me". I love the song, but since I've been with a narcissist my view changed
My take on Shakespears sister= Marcella the first vocalist has an amazing voice and unusual clear as a bell tone. Siobhan the second vocalist, was ex bananarama and has a lower, less unique sound to her voice, and does not really sing but talks her way through. But Siobhan always had some sort of weird intangeable star quality. I was always intigued by her when she performed in early Bananarama and Shakespears sister. Its not always about having a brillant singing voice. Just ask Kylie and Jennifer Lopez!
I can never get sick of this song and watching folks reactions to it feeds my soul
This song was HUGE in the UK in 1992. Number one for 8 weeks. It also won the Brit Award for Best video.
It was huge in the US as well.
I love when the second vocalist comes in and you're like "oh, this is a whole movie now."
Back in the 1990.s, when this song was big on MTV, girls asked me for translation from english to serbian. And...They "stayed with me". ❤ So, i have really good teenager's memorys on this song.😏 Anyway, i love your reaction and hello from Serbia 🇷🇸!💓💓💓

I was a high school boy when this came out and not afraid to say it still is one of my favorite tracks of that time.
came here to say the same ;)
The freaky deaky early 90s. Honestly, female singers had some bangers back in the day.
"Common People" from Pulp is another 90's gem that many people in the States may not be familiar with. Definitely worth a reaction. I highly recommend the full length album version and not the shortened, censored, music video... though the video is definitely cheesy.
Love this song and the performances are outstanding!
If memory serves me, they had another really good song called "Hello (turn your Radio on)".
Thank you very much, I always enjoy your reactions and thoughts. Have a great day!
Showed the video to my 5 year old granddaughter. It was her favorite song for about 6 months. She liked the death's angel character.
I can't express just how much Shakespears Sister helped me through my late teenage years. Please react to more of their music.
I first heard this song when I was like 12 years old. It always stuck with me and I revisit it every 5 or so years for the last 30 years.
Saw Prince in Glasgow early 90s and they were the support 👍
This is such a beautiful song, and a surprise for everyone who sees the video for the first time, when death comes in. It has that 90's cheese layer that doesn't diminish the beauty or the power of the music, and everything combined makes for a music video that is hard to forget.
“ The eye roll “ from Siobian playing the angel of death , saying I’ll get both of you later anyway 🥴🤣.
Oh this was fun. I loved that you paused it (unknowingly) just before the serious weirdness kicks in and said, "Well, the video's kind of weird" and I was laughing, thinking, "Oh, just wait..." LOL!

I am not surprised c at at all, great music is great music.
Siobhan, who plays death, famously got pretty trashed waiting to film her part in this video. 😂
That's hilarious. The crotch thrust kills me every time.
Yup, she hit the Vodka.She credits it as producing her ',full deranged splendour', as she put it.😁
This song means a lot to me. It’s extremely evocative and it touches me deeply.
haha loved this song, the "weird" one was Siobhan a member of the girl group Banarama - and those women could drink haha (that was back in the 80s) 😂🎉🎶🇬🇧
Love this song. came out in 1992. Lead singer was a member of Bananarama but left the band. Band did not have a whole lot of hits but definitely made their mark. "Caroline" "Joey" are other songs by them worth checking out.
You would love "Come Back and Stay" by Paul Young
This song has also been stuck in my head from when I first heard it …a random hit that sticks with you!
Thanks I love this song. 🙏🪷
The eye roll from Death was like “fine, you can have him…but I’ll still win in the end.”
Beautiful song!
The second girl was quite drunk when she did this. There was so much waiting around she had a tipple or two😅😅😅
Wow, I remembered loving this song in the early 90s.
Never heard another peep from them.
I've heard this song tons of times(radio listens) , I never knew the name of the band was Shakespeare's Sister
They were a great group. Check out 'I don't care'.. and in thier 2019 reunion, they do a spoof song of this song. Soon after this song (stay) the band split up, but the girls got back together again for a reunion album in 2019.

There album Hormonally yours is one of my all time favourite it’s a must listen highly recommended 👍🏽
Love this song ❤
I was 19 when this released and I've always had a soft spot for it.
This is two singers one was in Bananarama English band....
The year before i went to the army, girlfriends aplenty, puppy love, fighting, drinking, partying, freedom. Incredible time.
I was waiting for life to start, and there i was in the prime of it.
First time I heard this was right now. Both excellent singers. This song is deep and bit creepy. Weird as that is, I really like it.
"You're History" & "I Don't Care" are also 🔥
Makes me sad, thinking of my "baby" brother who we lost end of January this year. He was bathed by his partner in his final days and hours. Also he loved this song and had the album.
"Shakespeare In Love" (1998) is a romantic comedy starring Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow and won 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, so is a must see if Polo hasn't yet seen it.
YOU MUST LISTEN TO GHOST'S COVER OF THIS ONE! He did it with the guy who directed to last Insidious film.
Beautiful video .. the woman of Death (siobhan) was actually drunk on set so it actually helped her 😊 x
LOL it does have an 80s feel, you're right.
At the time, it was crazy that Siobhan went from Bananarama to this.
Incidentally, at the time, you could buy pre-mixed bananarama cocktails from the off-licence. They were great! 🤪🍸
Rounding the circle, Siabhan (Death) was married to Dave Stewart, who was part of the Pop Duo The Tourists, who became The Eurythmics. Annie Lenox (who you have Reacted to) was the other half of the Duo with Dave.
Siabhan was part of Bananarama. And the guy on the table was boyfriend of one of the other members of Bananarama.
Don't forget before Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart's partner was Barbara Gaskin and they released a killer remake of It's Your Party.
@@PacificJoe that's right. And Dave's collaboration with Terry Hall on "She" (with Charles Aznavour's cameo in video) had me in tears first time I saw it, with Terry's delivery. (Felt like one of those sad clown inputs in Operettas). Dave was far reaching at that time.
the struggle between life and death.. fighting death to stay alive is what the song is about.
I love Marcella Detroit's voice. ❤️
I miss MTV.
I haven't heard this either. Gaga grew up on this.stuff.lol
I really got into Shakespeare's Sister back then. Leonardo's Bride too.
The vid is meant to be a little tongue in cheek. Check out Marcella Detroit's song called Detroit. Marcella is the lead singer on this vid.
Siobhan fahey was drunk I believe in this video and was generally mad as a box of frogs.
I would like to see you listen to Shakey Graves- "Roll the Bones"
The second one "a great performer" was famously extremely drunk, she'd been waiting around all day whilst the first lady did her takes and got bored and ended up with many a vodka but the director went with it and thank god he did, this music video wouldnt have half the impact without this performance, meant to be lol
Tose Proeski ( In Memoriam) - Zajdi Zajdi
👏👏👍👍
Dont know if you have yet but definitely recommend Zombie by the cranberries. Its about the irish civil war
for some reason this reminded me of a really great performance/song called 'fake monk' by hua chenyu. Its just him and a piano playing live, but he gets right into a character and puts the old shivers up the spine :)
In the end though, death will come for them both, hence death's eyeroll. (The small details)...
We all need a bit of corny in our lives 😂❤
Sorry if you've done it already, but take a look at "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. All of her stuff is great but that really tugs on the heart strings. It's written from the perspective of a man anxious about his partner giving birth. It's powerful storytelling, much like all of her stuff. Also do "Wuthering Heights". Also, "Running Up That Hill". God, just do Kate Bush 😅
Another good song from them is “I Don’t Care”.
Siobhan (death) was in Bananarama ❤
Marcella, the lead on this, took part in an U.K. show Popstar to Opera Star. She’s incredible.
It was the 90s. Videos are cheesy lol
It STAYED at number #1 forever.
Don't know this one ❤ ain't no dancing to this one 😂 give grandma some Dwight ❤ fast as you please 🎉 ✌️ Polo...
I remember this! The second chic is like supposed to be a deity who is trying to challenge the grieving chic in like a battle of wills over that dudes life! Yeah it was pretty deep back in the day!
Giving good hat today.
Bonnie Tyler " Total eclipse of the heart"
The guy who "orchestrated" this piece is the same guy who pioneered Annie Lenox (The Eurythmics). He could certainly put together some real bangers!
If you're gonna go down a cool 90's female rabbit hole, please please please listen to "Heal it up" by Concrete Blonde! Johnette Napolitano is my favorite female voice of all time!

How much do I need to pay for you to react to little man by atmosphere?
Have you gone down the Korn rabbit hole yet?
It took a few bottles of tequila for the vibe
It was vodka! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im assuming youve done Sinead O'connor Nothing Compares to you. It will blow your mind
Nails on a chalkboard. Couldn't stay til the end.
The song was great. Wish i'd heard it without the video . The goofy video kind of killed it for me.
My take on Shakespears sister= Marcella the first vocalist has an amazing voice and unusual clear as a bell tone. Siobhan the second vocalist, was ex bananarama and has a lower, less unique sound to her voice, and does not really sing but talks her way through.

that were 2 girls and they were before manson
I prefer Cradle of Filth's version of this song.
Haha! Great singing and music. The video... meh. 😊
aside you got the name wrong its shakespears sisters :)
Polo, there’s some weirdness going on in this comments section.
I think it's because I showed up.
Beautiful Singing!
You're not gonna look up Marilyn Manson?????
cut it off too early
This isn’t even the best song on the album. Cat woman from the moon. Trouble with Andre.
I don't like her singing, Sounds like she needs to clear her throat and stop the shouting.
Didn't care for it...can't explain why but I'd change the radio station on this one.
Shakspears sister,, yuk , it was free bird that made me notice your posts ,, so I was looking for more talent ,,,,,,, this isn't it 😏
I never liked this song. Cacophony. But not a good one
Boring as f lol
As Stay is a love song, Polo give a listen to another by Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel called Don't Give Up.
