I adore this and never knew there was any Jayne connection. Of course, I always heard it in a bar with the volume so loud lyrics were never a serious consideration.
Thombeau!! I want to hear your Siouxsie stories (the bits you can remember!). I've been lucky to meet many of my idols over the years -- but never her. I have friends who have met Siouxsie, and I've heard mixed reports!
This song is one of the Banshees' last great moments -- and a nice valentine to Jayne Mansfield. The video is very Kenneth Anger.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I met Siouxsie on a number of occasions. Never kissed them for her, though. Which is surprising because I was always very drunk.
