كل العالم الي قالت انو الاغنية ضد العرب.انا بقول العكس تماما. بسبب انو أغنية فرسان العرب غنية بالرمزية والاستعارة، وتدعو المستمعين إلى الغوص في عالم من الغموض والمكائد. تتعمق الأغنية في سحر الشرق الأوسط الذي كان سائداً في ذلك الوقت، مما يعكس الشوق إلى المجهول والهروب من الحياة الدنيوية. إنه يتحدث عن جاذبية ثقافة مختلفة، ويدمر التصورات الغربية التقليدية ويحتضن الشعور بالتمرد.
I can't get over how good this song is. It should be illegal to release something this fire. Especially around 2:01, when the heavier notes on the bass hit at the same time as Siouxsie's perfect vocals.
unfortunately this is just her repeating the story of arabian nights. the kept as your baby machine part is specifically about that story. you should look it up.
The sound of the guitar on this is out of this world. John had a very unique guitar style; like Johnny Marr with effects and a more outside the box way of playing.
I've aye thot she looked beautiful, ma face would be glued tae her gusset gvn 1/2 a chance, l'll deal wi any charges,she'd drop them like when l got charged for my dog dancing in the street,this is Scotland they dae that kinda shit.
I found Siouxie's lyrics questionable until I visited Dubai by whose myriad lights I was supposed to be impressed... And then I read about their interesting laws. So much money and so little humanity...
My 20 in the 80's..Siouxsie is the band i followed the most...20 times or more every where in Europe, from London to Berlin i saw them in concert.....and every day since i put a record of Siouxsie on my stereo....!!!!!
The jewel, the prize Looking into your eyes Cool pools drown your mind What else will you find? I hear a rumor It was just a rumor I heard a rumor What have you done to her?

I am still left speechless by this song nearly half a century later. If you want truly great women's music the late 70's and early 80's had it: Lene Lovitch, Nina Hagen, Siouxsie Sioux, Kate Bush, kd Lang, Blondie, Chrissie Hynde, Patti Smith and even the original screamer, Yoko Ono, who IMHO had evolved from mere 'screamy' sound scapes to having more good melodic and quirky original songs on 'Double Fantasy' than John did and I still wear Lennon glasses!
Beyond loving this track, what makes me love this videoclip is the way the guys seems to be having fun doing it. I can even imagine the scene... Director: so boys, you'd be the Arabian Kni... They: Lay down, Siouxsie. We toss you... Oh wait, is that a sword? F_ck, this is gonna be a gas...
Trad rock new wave post punk -well the Pretenders were a unique combo and knew that rock clichés and ideas could be imaginatively arranged in an exciting format.Invigorated after listening to this
Am I the only one that thinks the opening scene is HILARIOUS? I love the Banshees but the way they toss Siouxsie, rolled up in that rug, is just really dorky :)
I think a lot of Banshees music videos are funny. Like the falling cat in Spellbound, the kids that swamp Siouxsie at the end of Playground Twist, the music video for Happy House in general.
Smiths best punk? Jeebus. Best punk is by far Dead Kennedys. But Siousxie and the Banshees is great. I just don't know if I file it as punk in my head.
Fantastic and still as mesmerising! Imagine a record getting radio play nowadays about how unimpressed someone is by Arabic primitive ways of keeping women veiled behind screens and as baby machines, while the man goes off having a good time with boys & goats. Or hearing a rumor about the violence against a woman!
No your not . The message these lyrics are sharing had not yet been fully realised. Her witches hat is not by accident. It's a very disturbing story and will be coming to light very soon. Here's a clue Epstein didn't kill himself.

@digitally insane true !
In France, we pronouce kind of "siuksee", but i know that you must say "suzee" in the english way
@digitally insane My mom pronounces is see-oo-x-ee but i think it's meant to be pronounced Suzie
Always loved Siouxsie.

John McGeoch was in fact a being influencr on Johnny Marr. Both Marr and Morrissey have expressed their administration for Siouxsie and the Banshees

The drum riffs, the bass lines. Damned near perfect.
Absolutely agree with you...John Mcgeoch was exceptional.
Wish Juju had included Israel, then it would be the perfect guitar album. McGeoch's riffs were pure genius.
McGeoch is one of the greatest unsung guitarists. Johnny Marr knows.
