Shakespears Sister are a duo consisting of American Marcella Detroit and Irish/British Siobhan Fahey. This was huge back in the day spending 8 weeks at number one in the UK in 1992.
No such thing as Irish British, if u come from Britain u are British, doesn’t matter if u have Irish history , that’s said only because the Irish like to discredit Britain at every turn and claim this so called very different ethnicity or summink,
The video is portraying a fight for the soul of the dying guy between Siobhan, the second girl, the devil, and his boyfriend Marcella trying to keep him alive and on the “good” side. Siobhan was previously a member of Bananarama; their commercial success is pretty cheesy Stock, Aitken and Waterman teen pop (one reason she left) but their early collaborations with Fun Boy Three from Coventry, such as It Ain’t What You Do It’s The Way That You Do It are phenomenal. One of my claims to fame is 17 year old me at a FB3 gig in Coventry lighting Siobhan and the other girls cigarettes (and I never did get my lighter back!).
As always, a lovely contribution from you! Singer Siobhan Fahey is also a founding member of Bananarama. Since you liked Blue Monday by New Order, I would suggest the title "Venus" by this girl band. Link: th-cam.com/video/d4-1ASpdT1Y/w-d-xo.html
Hmmm I guess it was huge in 1992! Never heard. I must have been distracted by Dream Theater 🎭 1992 PULL ME UNDER from the album; Images And Words! Great Reaction though!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
You stopped to early and hence missed the "devil's" exit. Be patient 😃 This was Shakespears Sister's only #1 in 1992 and the actual leading lady (Siobhan Fahey, until 1988 a member of the girl Band Bananarama) seemed to be so jealous about her partner Marcella Detroit who took the leading part here that she fired her publicly at an award ceremony in 1993. Only in 2019 they reconciled and reunited for another single ("All The Queen's Horses") and another EP ("Ride Again"), both very worth listening.
It's well known that Siobhan Fahey is difficult to work with, as she had a falling out with Bananarama as well. Not that she's a bad person, but I think mental health issues and alcohol problems were mostly to blame.
"What do we say to the god of death?"
Love the eye roll from Death at the end as if to say, "Yeah whatever, I take you all in the end anyway."

This song kicked some *serious* arse in 1992. Eight weeks at No.1
Well deserved. I love these artistic videos.
Amazing what a morning drinking vodka does! The second girl was drunk by the time it was her time to sing,it added to performance ❤
The Second Lady was death trying to take the man from the world of living.
Not true. It was Sibohn Fahey an singer who used to be part of Bananarama.
The look on your face when Siobhan came in was the same as we all had. (Apparently she was pissed off her wrocker!)
This is such an amazing song both o them have such powerful voices one of my favorite songs ever

A fight between a dying man's lover and the Angel of Death...
They were amazing together but after this song they broke up they just couldn't get along and it's a shame
They had a reunion a couple of years ago: th-cam.com/video/riaKUunh5go/w-d-xo.html
@hgnlngr yeah I know but they broke up in the peak of their careers

She sounds a bit like Stevie Nicks.
