- Kate performs "Violin" on the 1979 Christmas special.
Lyrics:
Four strings across the bridge,
Ready to carry me over,
Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Out of the realm of the orchestra.
Filling me up with the shivers.
Filling me up with the shivers and quivers.
Filling me up with the shivers.
Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!
Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!
Paganini up on the chimney,
Lord of the dance,
With Nero and old Nicky.
Whack that devil
Into my fiddlestick!
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s,
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s.
Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee.
Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!
Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!
Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!
Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!
Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin! - เพลง
I love that the BBC were like “let’s give Kate Bush a no restrictions Christmas special that she can do whatever she wants with.” And the result? Violin Demons and Peter Gabriel complaining about dinner not being ready. I love it so much.
Well put!
Its so strange and surreal how she goes back to being this really shy and gentle girl in her private life ...
After the break to get you in the holiday spirit: A wedding murder and revenge killing!
@@88fejishe’s a real artist that’s why 🙏
Don't forget the sick ass solo too
I just love how she completely loses herself in her performances and becomes a different character.
She's a singular talent. My favorite artist.
omg she's crazy, I love her
Crazy are the ones that spit on you in the street for no reason. Talented, uninhibited, spirited, and unconformist I would agree.
@@chainmatrix i am sure he meant, crazy in beautiful, artistic way.
Haha..... she's absofuckinglutely Awesome ❤️
Me too truly mad truly brilliant
Plssss 😂😂😂 is this from that meme of the lady with a bag in her head
Bush has a terrific sense of humour. I love Kite.
Only Kate can get away with a sensual song about the sound of Violins with Hard Rock riffs while having a straight face of the human violins attacking her. Brillant!!!!
What was in the water in England that gave us Bowie and Kate at roughly the same time? Weird, wonderful, unforgettable.
EricH928 Oddly enough they both had the same dance instructor (though a decade apart), Lindsay Kemp.
Yeah but I suspect Kate knew of Lindsay through Bowie, so not very odd. :)
Franky FourFingers No. I heard that he was a known teacher through the artists and as she was mentored by a Pink Floyd member....
Franky FourFingers RIP Lindsay Kemp
+EricH928 Post war depression.
I really wished she'd gotten *heavy* _much more often...._ - her approach to that chorus is worth the admission price on its own and signals what she could have been capable of... Spine-melting.
The note in 03:02 is fucking amazing! KATE BUSH is the greatest legendary singer !
She hit even better notes on this song if you listen to Kate Bush - Live at Hammersmith Odeon 79
This outfit is maybe my favorite of hers! Bat Bush! I love this performance, she's always so crazy on stage but so sweet and reserved in interviews and it's so fascinating. Also that intro is so dreamy, I could watch it all day.
I love the images on Never for Ever album cover- all the creatures coming out from under her dress.
That intro is heavenly
Yes. It sends shivers down my spine.
Body's aching all the time...
It is.
Strangely, an acquaintance posting a link to this video was my introduction to Kate Bush.
I thought it was some kind of joke: one of those cringe-inducing relics of pop culture excess the internet loves so much. Something about her intrigued me, though--was it her playful and utter shamelessness?--and drew me in. My memories of discovering her music are literally some of my most cherished.
Ten albums and not even a decade later, I feel like I've known her music all my life. Kate Bush: salute!
This is what I call ARTPOP! Real ART!
Just imagine being able to tell your grandkids 'I wasone of them jumping violins'.
Who would thought writing a song about a classical musical instrument would be so cool
Kate is one of the few artists that can produce a pure 1 kHz note which would set off whistling keyrings (a device to help people find lost keys !)
OH MY GOD KATE IS SO AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes i am Brasil Kate Bush is wonderfoul
wow wow wow
Who on this planet can be compared to Kate Bush? She is alone in her realm of music- just as dear David Bowie was. In my personal opinion, they stand alone in their creativity and profound talent.
You are right sir in everything you say.
What is more... her track 'Violin' (I believe from her album ' Never For Ever' is one of the rockiest tracks EVER performed by a British female artist.
The rock guitar instrumentation and the dynamics of her voice on this track are testaments to that fact.
On the album, when she reached the crescendo of loudness on the track, you can actually hear her voice breaking through her own vocal voice register.
That was how passionate Kate Bush was on this track.
On this track ( I believe more than ANYTHING) SHE HAS EVER RECORDED, She really played the Men performing in British rock music, at their own game.
david byrne, prince, jane siberry, lots of talented folks :)
Mylene Farmer
Although she doesn't quite reach Kate's level
Nina Hagan comes pretty close.
Bjork is pretty mental, but still not quite in Kate's league.
Fantastic guitar solo
Nothing on the planet will ever replace Kate ..part goddess part insanity demon angel sheer fookin GENIUS
Love that scream!!!
She Rocked harder than Benatar on this track. The range and potential of that voice boggles the metal head mind. Horns Up!
Kate is remarkable considering how demure she is ❤
Truely one of the greatest performances from one of the most incredible artists that has every lived.
That is pure, unadulterated brilliance.
What an incredible performance...they don't make 'em like that anymore
This special is my happy place ♥️
I love you kate, whatever you do
She is such a performance artist, I love her.
My God she is just amazing.
love her crazy dancing
I ended up in hospital after watching this a a kid, though that is down to my dad telling me and not my memory as I was a very young child at the time. I was born with a renal defect and so if I need to go the loo I have to do so or there are repercussions so much so my asking in school classes for permission to go was only out of politeness and if the teacher said no I just got up and went anyway. THe very few teachers who said no were told by the headmasters to just say yes and their punishments were revoked by the headmasters. .
I could not do so as I was captivated as a 5 year old, and so it ended up with me in hospital. All I can say is it was worth it. :-)
She is one in a trillion! A sorceress of musical uniqueness.
It's brilliant how I've been listening to Kate Bush for nearly 40 years and I still seem to have a different favourite song every month. Right now it's Violin. I suppose it's because all her songs are so different and unique and I like this one coz it rocks and she gets really crazy in it.
She's unhinged, I love her so much
She's a genius.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
Iconic
I see again why many of us punks worshipped her. Mad as a hatter, beautiful, fearless, boundlessly creative and subversive as an SS-20 up the backside. Delicious.
Punks love Kate Bush? the only punk musician i know who loves kate is Johnny Rotten
WalkingBlues
That may well be. But I never heard a word against her, quite the contrary. I didn't even knew Johnny was a fan. But it's obvious really.
yes i was back in teh days ,.. in teh 1980 s and lot my punk friends adore Kate Bush ,.. you do not know what you are talking about ,...fool,..
I never linked Kate to punk rock but I'm a punk and I love kate bush so I guess it makes sense
in 1978 kate bush was about as punk as abba. youre tastes have just changed with age.
Kate Bush is a beautiful woman who has incredible voice
The woman is so outrageous!!! LOVE her!!
One of her best songs! Respect! 💕
A big Roxy Music inspiration here for sure. Kate is an amazing, creative and often misunderstood artist. I could listen to and watch her forever!
Me too ,love her !!!
The version of this on Kate's Live At The Hammersmith Odeon dvd featues a FANTASTIC guitar solo by the late Alan Murphy. Absolute CLASS.
Fuck shes awesomeness
THIS WOMAN IS PERFECTION !!!!!!!!!!!
amazing how she sounded like a violin in this one :) So talented.
Kate Bush Is Everything!!!!
Wow I know I've never seen that before because that was absolutely unforgettable!!!
This song definitely depicts the atrocity of my violin playing :) .... I love you, kate bush! x
Omg massive flash back to when I was 14, the exciting sickening Christmas, Kate Bush ,too much chocolate all rolled into 1 ,thank you so much for the memories x❤
Kate Bush... the best artist to walk the Earth!
The best female artist for sure... the best artist, you're right 😉
I feel sorry for people who “don’t get” Kate Bush!
Those people haven’t evolved.
💖
I can't stop watching and listen to it! What an artistic person Kate is !
Love Kate Bush. Iconic rock Goddess! Although I'm kinda glad this was all done back in the 70s before social media. I would hate to think how cruel people would be over such a wild and eccentric performance even though I think it's amazing! We'll never have a time quite like it - Love from 2024
The greatest female entertainer of a generation
I'm apologetic even when David left us in 2016.
I am going to join you all in admiration of Kate. I have always loved her since I was a child and the more music of hers I listen to the more I realise what a legendary genius she is. ❤
great song and memorable performance, there is only one kate
My god I remember watching this when I was 14 still love kate
Nothing like a true artist !!!amazing song and performance!!!
Amazing. Real heart in her art.
This is so fantastic it makes my bum hurt.
Allan Murphy: *Randomly drops the most tasty, jazz fusion solo on a deep cut kate bush song.
That outfit must’ve been so fun to wear
she is really spectacular..love her music
i ADORE her she's the most amazing ever
LOL! ^^ this is one of my favourite Kate songs! but the choreography made it that more brilliant xD
Noticed some earlier comments below about a non-existent violin: Kate's octave scale B♭1 - F7 (58.27 - 2793.83Hz); violin octave scale G3 - E7 (196 - 2637.02Hz). In this song Kate hits C#5, G#5, B5 and F6. Kate IS the violin solo.
Totally bonkers and wonderful! :-D
Impecável em tudo o que se propõe a fazer.
She is so fucking amazing¡¡¡ The BESTTTT¡¡
Božská Kate Bush!!! _👏👍😍
This is a jolly toe tapping tune!😊🎉
what a super track !!!! what a voice !!!!!
I love this woman so much just got into her music about month ago and Im a big fan
I love
Superb.
never seen it OH Lord, wonderful
That intro 👌❤️
This is amazing. She just lets fly and creates pure magic with no commercial consideration. Everything now in money first then image/marketing then hopefully some creativity. Joni Mitchell described the music industry as 'a corrupt cesspit '.
Feel such gratitude for people like the genius that is Kate Bush still doing her stuff.
These Christmas specials are truly brilliant!
been a Kate Bush fan for years
and im still riveted
Always cheers me up
+WalkingBlues No way I was saying this the other day! No matter what mood I'm in, I stick this on and it transports me to somewhere else!
Sean Carter Cheers friend
I love playing the violin when I'm depressed as it helps to keep my chin up
Haha 😂😂😂 like ya style
Kate you were born for this talent.
One of the best artist of all times. A never ending story of passion and talent a monument to music and a heartfelt thanks for all she has done for our souls since 40 years and counting i truly love you Kate
We forget that Bush is a great Rock singer too. James and the Cold Gun live is a religious experience. Don’t Push your foot on the heartbreak,is also a great Rock Song.

Yup, that's our Kate. Happy Christmas, viewers!
We need a bit of crazy mad fun in this world!
The start is wonderful
Just wonderful
I'd kill to get her costume! Looks divine, almost vampiric.
And what a marvelous artist Kate is! Everything she does is sublime, pure magic. There'll never be any singer as charismatic and sophisticated as Kate Bush.
I also love her outfit too
Like no other. God I'm glad I was 14 in 79' and could appreciate the enigma that was the beautiful Kate Bush.
大好きもうほんとに大好きどうしよう大好き
It was kinda funny when those two violins came on
Yes 👍🏼♥️👏🏻
Isis Wings again! I now know why I have always loved her.. 💕 She's an ethereal beauty.. Timeless!
Truly a masterpiece
The pure chaos and drama in this Christmas special is to die for
I LOVE THIS
