Two comments about the song. Her brother, Paddy, was the Pastor in the video still you showed. Also, did you hear in the last verse the bride was pregnant with Rudi's child which she lost when she committed suicide. I think the song's point is that revenge does more harm then good. I'm adding a shotgun to the NFE museum. If you thought this song showed some vocal dynamics, the next track will blow you away. Happy Birthday Kate. Another great review IO. Loving your attention to instrumentation, story, and lyrics.
Well, I didn’t even recognize Paddy! I was trying not to look too much because I wanna be a surprised when I watch the Christmas special. Oh OK, so then maybe the story is slightly different than the movie. One thing about the movie is that compared to Hitchcock Truffaut seems more interested in who his heroine is. Maybe that’s why Kate was attracted to it. Other than it being a good movie. And it feels like Kate added more layers to her . Although I am wondering if the grooms name actually was Rudi and I missed it
Thanks for this reaction. This is currently my favourite KB song, which I listen to.everyday. I love it for several reasons:
1. She comes straight in with the vocals. Love it.
2. The use of the lyrics - "I won't muck it up"
3. Its almost a conventional song, for Kate it is anyway.
4. Her vocals are fantastic, especially near the end
5. The use of the bell toll and snare for the gun shot really add atmosphere.
6. Screaming
7. Who's Rudi?
You really need to see that live performance. Its awesome.
This song is really growing on me. For sure a highlight on the album. It is cool that she comes in right with the vocal. And she’s really having fun vocally. I wonder if they counted in live. I’ll definitely be doing the prince performance. As a reaction. Maybe even soon
❤😂🎉Happy Katemas ❤🎉
Happy Katemas to yooooou!
Happy Katemas!
Happy Katemas to you too!
Another fun video 😊 love The Wedding List. Those vocals are fire.
I know she’s really having fun here vocally! Thank you!
Entertaining as always. You should definitely check out her live performance of this song from the Prince's Trust concert where her backing band included Phil Collins, Midge Ure and Pete Townsend. It's somewhere on TH-cam and is famous for her wardrobe malfunction which she skilfully handled.
So I just said this wow I had no idea.! I’ll definitely be checking it out.!

Kate is many things, being as multi-talented as she is, but above all she is a story teller, as you have noted and as you will discover even more as you continue with your deep dive. Another great review, Io, many thanks
Yeah, I’m even thinking of the songs that I do know like Cloudbusting. But I’m excited to hear the ones that aren’t as well known!
Thank you Popcorn, Happy Birthday Kate and lots of more wuthering heights ❤❤💚💚💜💜
Yes, I still consider it Kate Bush‘s birthday week!
Thanks IO! Fabulous as always.
Thank you so much I’m glad you liked it!
François Truffaut, one of my fave directors. If you really want to nerd out, Hitchcock/Truffaut is a book originally released in 1966 and contains, if I'm remembering correctly, a shot by shot analysis of 'Psycho".
Yeah, I talk about it in the video. I actually haven’t seen the book but I have watched the documentary and I also watched the documentary about Psycho. I forgot the name of …it that was really good too. That really has a shot by shot analysis of it
Another brilliant song and nice reaction video. And a very great day to have scheduled it for. Awesome!
I know I stayed up all night so I can get it done for her birthday! Thank you and Happy Katemas!
Hi Io and thanks again for another KB video. Most days of the week "The Wedding List" is my favourite track from this album and sits very high on my all time favourite songs of hers. It's one of those Kate song that I would recommend to someone new to her music for it gives us love-murder-revenge-madness all in one song (which less face it are common themes in her music) but done with a light, almost playful touch. It is one of the songs that for me personally were not terribly well served by the Christmas TV Special - for me personally the presentation of it felt very Broadway/West End and somewhat obscured her outstanding vocal on this.
However, as other have said, the 1982 Prince's Trust live performance really is outstanding, showcasing how she can go from sounding angelic one moment to sounding like a caged animal the next. And it does feature a famous wardrobe malfunction that she handles without missing step (she would later joke that every time she met a member of the Royal Family she made a fool of herself - from her dress falling off in front of Prince Charles as with the 1982 performance, to asking the Queen for an autograph even though she knew full well that HM didn't do that, but Kate asking anyway just because her son had heard she was to meet the Queen and thought that getting her autograph would be great: and so if her little boy wanted an autograph of the Queen Kate decided to go ahead and make a fool of herself for him, just in the off chance).
One thing about this song that is worth mentioning is that, it might be the same in the US, but in UK (more so at that time), when a young couple was getting married they would make a "Wedding List" registered usually with a local department store, of gifts that well-wishers could get for them as they set up their new home and life together. The unwanted gift that was sent to this wedding was murder and so the Bride makes a new "Wedding List" which is a hit list in the which the only gift that she will bring to her prey is revenge in exchange for the murder given to her and her groom. The wordplay on the two unwanted gifts in terms of "Wedding List" beautifully sets the scene for the song.
I have always thought that there is a post punk/new wave sound to a lot of this album and have always felt this song has reminded me a bit of Siouxsie Sioux or Toyah Wilcox, although I think the Lene Lovich and Patti Smith are also very apt comparisons - and anyway I adore all four.
I think you will get a kick out of the next song and its utterly mad vocal - registering Kate's highest recorded note.
Thanks again.
That’s a very sweet story about Kate asking an autograph for her son. I had to think about HM for second. But only a second haha. We too have bridal registyies. As well as baby registries. I am honestly to familiar with them because I feel like I’m always having to buy something from them. I can totally see the souxie Sioux comparison too. I really miss that vocal style! I feel like people aren’t as adventurous with their voices and leave the interesting noises to the production which is fine but you know it’s good to change it up now and then! I’ll have to see what I think of TWG in the XMas performance. I wonder if I’ll feel the same way. Also I’m looking forward to the Prince show and not just for the wardrobe malfunction ha!
Ha ha, I didn't know the word was "cherootie"... I always thought it was "shabootie" (a word I made up in my head). I thought it was some kind of devil/witch thing, maybe like a kewpie doll??? Thanks for the great video! See, you even taught this years-long KB devotee something! This is one of those songs that I loved less initially, but now appreciate so much. I love that you watched "The Bride Wore Black". I have to see it, too! Can't wait for the next video.
That’s hilarious! Isn’t it funny lyrics we dont think about to hard but due to repetition it’s like the brain make something up. I know I’ve totally done that until one day I say “wait a minute”…. what’s a shabootie or whatever lyric ! Definitely recommend TBWB! I’m actually gonna rewatch it because I think I missed some things.
Kate's 1982 Prince's Trust live performance of WL where she has a wardrobe malfunction.
What??? Really???
@@popcornphilosopher th-cam.com/video/vhhMwwfaXNM/w-d-xo.html
@@popcornphilosopheryep, wardrobe malfunction. It's a great performance with a stellar backing band:
Phil Collins (Genesis)
Pete Townshend (The Who)
Midge Ure (Ultravox)
Mick Karen (Japan)
You need to watch it. It's on TH-cam
The harmonica part and the string arrangement have always made me think of Supertramp's Crime of the Century album, which also has a song titled Rudy. Whether that's any more than a coincidence is another question...
Oh interesting I have to check that out!
Was going to watch during the premiere as I'm currently in Florida and it wasn't at a ridiculous time like when I'm back in California. Then I started watching the Formula 1 pre-race show (F1 is another huge passion of mine) and forgot - D'oh! Well I enjoyed it anyway, got more background into and a new old movie to watch some day. Happy Katemas! (Ok, I had to look that up. I consider myself a big Kate fan, have turned lots of friends onto her music, but continue to get an education here. Thanks Teach!)
Oh that’s OK. I missed it too because I was up all night trying to finish the video so I can go up in time for Kates birthday. Yeah, we’re all learning together. I love these deep dives. It’s fun to kick it on the details! TBWB is worth watching! Happy Katemas
@@popcornphilosopher just started a list cause otherwise I'll forget in a week or two. Thanks again. Your videos are high point of the days I see them. Thanks for enriching my life!
Looking forward to your next Kate Bush reaction,❤
I’m looking forward to my next Kate reaction too haha! Thank you!
@popcornphilosopher1923 It's been Kate Bush Crazy here in the UK all day on Twitter, started at 1min past midnight,
I'm knackered, take care & see you soon
@@alistairmcdougall8390 oh, I missed it. I was up all night trying to get the video finished! I actually just woke up again. Happy Katemas!
@popcornphilosopher1923 Bless you us Kate Bush fans appreciate you😇
Just to update our Never for Ever antiques shop we have
Babooshka: russian nesting dolls
Delius: a Metronome
Blow Away: Wind chimes
All we ever look for: a music box
Egypt: Some sort of Egyptian artefacts (possibly an ankh)
The wedding list: a shotgun or wedding rings perhpaps?
Oooo I like the idea of the wedding rings. And if we’re going to be accurate, they should probably be bloody. I know it’s a little dark!
I feel honoured that I share the same birthday as Kate, not the same year though. She can deffo rock out at times for sure.
I was think in the light of Sinead O Conner passing away could you review her song Troy? She once said that Kate was a goddess! she was clearly inspired by her for sure.
Oh wow happy birthday and happy Katemas one and the same! I definitely want to do some thing for Sinead O’Connor. It was very sad about her passing, and she had such a unique voice!
Haha Happy Katemas! I’m using that for sure. Things for Sinead were never really uncomplicated all the way through her career and before for that matter.
If you review Nothing Compares To You I may scream, and not with joy either.
You’re right, her catalogue is much more than just Rock Pop-Art or whatever...violin or waking the witch are best examples for her more heavier tones
It’s so strange that people made a big deal about her not being rock enough. Even back when I had only heard some of her bigger songs, I would have definitely at least partly put her in the rock category, although she’s so much more!
I was again looking at some of your videos from your excellent Kate Bush deep drive, where you reacted to a couple of Kate's music videos. So after you've completed your dive into "Never For Ever", it would be great if you're able to react to the music videos for Babooshka, "Army Dreamers" and Breathing which were the UK single releases from the album. Thank you.
Oh yeah for sure I’ll be doing the videos! Definitely!
Really looking forward to the Christmas Special reaction! You might want to listen to the next track first as it's in the special, kates Christmas song is also in it which was released as a single after Never For Ever
Love the Wedding list one of my favourites!!
Yeah, I think I’m gonna do it after I finish the album! I’m looking forward to it too! And I had no idea Kate did a Christmas song! Although I shouldn’t be surprised because I think I read Kate loves Christmas
@popcornphilosopher1923 Yeah the single was called "December will be magic again" its a real gem of a single it was released as a non album single between Never for ever and the following album, There isn't an official video but there's a live version in the Christmas special and a non official video kate performed in a separate special a year
The single was first performed in 1979 but not released until 1980!
@@stevengornall934 I’m excited to hear it! I’m gonna wait till Christmas though!
Loved your reaction. There is a really great video of her performing this live with Phil Collins on drums with a couple of other famous muscians there too. She sounds amazing. She has a wardrobe malfunction about 3 quarters of the way throug as her strap on her top breaks and she has to hold it up but like a true professional she carries on with an amazing performance.

I heard about this!!! Wow…I’m definitely going to be reacting to it! Thanks for sharing the link and for watching:)
@@popcornphilosopher You''ll love the live version :) Definitely react
I consider kate bush as a prog rocker tbh.
I could agree with that, but so much more too:)
@@popcornphilosopher yeah she's more than just that. Her songs go into many territories.
Hey IO. Did I miss something? Have you finished your Never For Ever deep dive? Did we stop at The Wedding List? Hope you can finish the album. There’s great songs to come!
Oh no you didn’t miss anything I I’ll be getting back to it. I’ll post a new one tomorrow or Monday
I thought it was the groom's name
That’s what I thought too!
Love your deep dives. Keep the BBC Christmas special to watch as a reaction (it’s fab - and contains one of my favourite Kate lyrics “...but some nights, shell run back in fright when she picks on a dick that’s too big for her pride”) but if you want to see the Prince’s Trust Live performance of The Wedding list check out th-cam.com/video/fJvXpvH2-Hk/w-d-xo.html. Keep your eyes toward the end on the strap of her camisole...
I’m deathly gonna do the Christmas special for sure! I’ll probably wait until I finish the album but I’m looking forward to it! I’ll also be doing the prince performance I just heard about the wardrobe malfunction! Fascinating!
Happy Katemas!
I actually haven't heard that term before. Happy Katemas! I like that. I am starting to call Kate "The Peerless One". Does anyone else have any other apt and positive nicknames for KB they've heard before or invented?
Happy Katemas!!!!!
@@malvanlondon8683 I like this!
@@malvanlondon8683 Started by Love-Hounds (Kate fans). They started having worldwide parties for her b'day.
@@malvanlondon8683 She also studied karate and earned the nickname EE-ee (a nod to the squeaky sound she made while chopping and kicking).
