It's a great additional wit in a great video for a song that's all been lacking wholeheartedly in the long dead industry. That's the 80s dying for you and the ongoing horror of slagdonna, S/A/W, c/rap and everything rotten happening ever since.
Well back then females (and males) had talent and there was an industry, though it was waning considerably by 1992, now it's just a black hole and cesspit of shite for pointless slaves to the mass-produced garbage spewing out of corporate factories instead of where talent should come from.
This is such an amazing song. It spent eight weeks at the top of the UK charts from February to April 1992 and was also number 1 in Ireland and a top 5 hit in at least a dozen other countries including the USA. I always like to see reactions to the moment Siobhan Fahey enters as the Devil or Death! Her vocals may not be as impressive as Marcella Detroit's but are still good, and her personality oozes character. She has a great and varied history from the girl group Bananarama and her own projects, including from working with Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame) who co-wrote this with them, and who she was married to around this time. Sadly, the duo of Fahey and Detroit split acrimoniously not long after this hit and didn't speak for years, but they made up in 2018 and have performed and recorded again together since.
Back in the 1990.s, when this song was big on MTV, girls asked me for translation from english to serbian. And...They "stayed with me". ❤ So, i have really good teenager's memorys on this song.😏 Anyway, i love your reaction and hello from Serbia 🇷🇸!💓💓💓
Hi Polo, thank you so much for playing my request. I thought you might like the video as well as the song, as it's a bit quirky. The two ladies in the video are Siobhan Fahey (ex-singer from the girl group Bananarama) and Marcella Detroit. Siobhan is Irish and Marcella is American. This Song was released in 1992. Apparently, Siobhan Fahey (the lady who comes on later in the video) drank a bottle of Vodka whilst waiting to come on and sing her part. I guess that partly explains her "manic" expressions! Loved your reaction, thumbs up from me and thanks again.
If memory serves me, they had another really good song called "Hello (turn your Radio on)". Thank you very much, I always enjoy your reactions and thoughts. Have a great day!
No, they had loads of good and great ones from their debut album BEFORE 'Stay' and the follow-ups were done. 'Goodbye Cruel World' the ignored 1st single from album 2 is especially good. 'Hello' is simply another class one and there was more to come, on the album, as B-sides and ongoing albums, even though Marcella "had to leave", though they are now back together finally.
"Common People" from Pulp is another 90's gem that many people in the States may not be familiar with. Definitely worth a reaction. I highly recommend the full length album version and not the shortened, censored, music video... though the video is definitely cheesy.
Siobhan Fahey She was from the girl group call Bananarama as a pop dance song and she out to be herself with Marcella Detroit who was work with Eric Clapton, Siobhan she open her as a duo with a huge different styled as before.
Oh this was fun. I loved that you paused it (unknowingly) just before the serious weirdness kicks in and said, "Well, the video's kind of weird" and I was laughing, thinking, "Oh, just wait..." LOL! Say, if you ever want to hear a bright, beautiful 80s hit that's kind of a One Hit Wonder, check out Steve Forbert "Romeo's Tune." The piano is gorgeous, his voice is kind of weird and smokey, and it's my favorite song of all time (Well, tied with Manfred Mann's "For You."
Loved this song back in 1992, love it just as much today. The band Ghost did a cover (featuring actor Patrick Wilson) for the soundtrack to the new Insidious movie. Great stuff!
Rounding the circle, Siabhan (Death) was married to Dave Stewart, who was part of the Pop Duo The Tourists, who became The Eurythmics. Annie Lenox (who you have Reacted to) was the other half of the Duo with Dave. Siabhan was part of Bananarama. And the guy on the table was boyfriend of one of the other members of Bananarama.
@@PacificJoe that's right. And Dave's collaboration with Terry Hall on "She" (with Charles Aznavour's cameo in video) had me in tears first time I saw it, with Terry's delivery. (Felt like one of those sad clown inputs in Operettas). Dave was far reaching at that time.
"Shakespeare In Love" (1998) is a romantic comedy starring Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow and won 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, so is a must see if Polo hasn't yet seen it.
haha loved this song, the "weird" one was Siobhan a member of the girl group Banarama - and those women could drink haha (that was back in the 80s) 😂🎉🎶🇬🇧
This is such a beautiful song, and a surprise for everyone who sees the video for the first time, when death comes in. It has that 90's cheese layer that doesn't diminish the beauty or the power of the music, and everything combined makes for a music video that is hard to forget.
Makes me sad, thinking of my "baby" brother who we lost end of January this year. He was bathed by his partner in his final days and hours. Also he loved this song and had the album.
for some reason this reminded me of a really great performance/song called 'fake monk' by hua chenyu. Its just him and a piano playing live, but he gets right into a character and puts the old shivers up the spine :)
If you listen to the first few lines it seems to be about a suicide attempt - if this world is wearing thin, and your thinking of escape - (please seek help in your area if you're experiencing those feelings) and he's on a life support machine and death comes for him as he wanted to die and his love (life) and death fight over him to keep him in there 'world', and he's wakes choosing life...
Great reaction Polo!! I LOVED this song when it came out (and 1992 was the year, so good call! Yes - cheese was ALL over the videos - and we ate it all up!) The character of 'death' is Siobhan Fahey, an original founding member of the 80's group Bananarama - where you might have heard Cruel Summer, or their cover of Venus. Cheers!!
Don't you dare, there's a million things from the 80s, and a few from the 90s to do before this thing even considered, even though it's by far his best one, not that that gets it far.
They were a great group. Check out 'I don't care'.. and in thier 2019 reunion, they do a spoof song of this song. Soon after this song (stay) the band split up, but the girls got back together again for a reunion album in 2019.
The second one "a great performer" was famously extremely drunk, she'd been waiting around all day whilst the first lady did her takes and got bored and ended up with many a vodka but the director went with it and thank god he did, this music video wouldnt have half the impact without this performance, meant to be lol
At the time, it was crazy that Siobhan went from Bananarama to this. Incidentally, at the time, you could buy pre-mixed bananarama cocktails from the off-licence. They were great! 🤪🍸
Siobhan Fahey (don't make me swear I'm spelling her name right) was definitely eccentric. This is the only song featuring (can't remember her first name) Detroit as lead singer. The band was originally just lady death there, trying to get away from her image as a singer in Bananarama. Useless facts inserted. I actually really liked this album.
Sorry if you've done it already, but take a look at "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. All of her stuff is great but that really tugs on the heart strings. It's written from the perspective of a man anxious about his partner giving birth. It's powerful storytelling, much like all of her stuff. Also do "Wuthering Heights". Also, "Running Up That Hill". God, just do Kate Bush 😅
Think it's to do with good Vs evil and love and trust me Manson is in a league of his own the girl with black hair walking down the stairs she really normal in real life and the girl with short back hair is a trained classic singer
The year before i went to the army, girlfriends aplenty, puppy love, fighting, drinking, partying, freedom. Incredible time. I was waiting for life to start, and there i was in the prime of it.
It's actually a rather psychotic form of love that keeps you chained. "You can only think of me". I love the song, but since I've been with a narcissist my view changed
If you're gonna go down a cool 90's female rabbit hole, please please please listen to "Heal it up" by Concrete Blonde! Johnette Napolitano is my favorite female voice of all time!
Siobhan (death) was in Bananarama ❤ Marcella, the lead on this, took part in an U.K. show Popstar to Opera Star. She’s incredible. It was the 90s. Videos are cheesy lol
Except the woman that wants you to stay is scary controlling if you go back to the lyrics only. I feel Siobhain is really there to save that poor mf.😅 Hugs from Sweden.
I can never get sick of this song and watching folks reactions to it feeds my soul
The anticipation, knowing what’s coming in the song and getting to see someone experiencing it for the first time is 🤌🏼❤️🤌🏼
I love when the second vocalist comes in and you're like "oh, this is a whole movie now."
This song was HUGE in the UK in 1992. Number one for 8 weeks. It also won the Brit Award for Best video.
It was huge in the US as well.
@@TacomaGirl Well they have to get something right now and again, God knows its so little.
The eye roll from Death was like “fine, you can have him…but I’ll still win in the end.”
It's a great additional wit in a great video for a song that's all been lacking wholeheartedly in the long dead industry. That's the 80s dying for you and the ongoing horror of slagdonna, S/A/W, c/rap and everything rotten happening ever since.
I was a high school boy when this came out and not afraid to say it still is one of my favorite tracks of that time.
came here to say the same ;)
The freaky deaky early 90s. Honestly, female singers had some bangers back in the day.
Well back then females (and males) had talent and there was an industry, though it was waning considerably by 1992, now it's just a black hole and cesspit of shite for pointless slaves to the mass-produced garbage spewing out of corporate factories instead of where talent should come from.

Ah, me as a little goth teen in the 90's singing about a love I hadn't experienced yet.
Back in the 1990.s, when this song was big on MTV, girls asked me for translation from english to serbian. And...They "stayed with me". ❤ So, i have really good teenager's memorys on this song.😏 Anyway, i love your reaction and hello from Serbia 🇷🇸!💓💓💓

Married to Dave Stewart.
Polo: "It's a little weird but you know"
the song: "hold my straitjacket"
“ The eye roll “ from Siobian playing the angel of death , saying I’ll get both of you later anyway 🥴🤣.
Haa! Love it!!😅😅😆😆🤣🤣😋😋
I can't express just how much Shakespears Sister helped me through my late teenage years. Please react to more of their music.
I am struggling to believe it, but marcella detroit was 40 years old in this video !
(She's 72 now)
Showed the video to my 5 year old granddaughter. It was her favorite song for about 6 months. She liked the death's angel character.
My mum listened to this all the time when I was growing up 😂 always loved it
If memory serves me, they had another really good song called "Hello (turn your Radio on)".
Thank you very much, I always enjoy your reactions and thoughts. Have a great day!
Still have the CD, I’m gonna have to put it on the boombox. I bought the CD after my cassette melted.
@@jeanine6328I have it too. Hormonally Yours I believe it's called

Siobhan, who plays death, famously got pretty trashed waiting to film her part in this video. 😂
That's hilarious. The crotch thrust kills me every time.
Yup, she hit the Vodka.She credits it as producing her ',full deranged splendour', as she put it.😁
Love this song and the performances are outstanding!

I first heard this song when I was like 12 years old. It always stuck with me and I revisit it every 5 or so years for the last 30 years.
Loved this song back in 1992, love it just as much today. The band Ghost did a cover (featuring actor Patrick Wilson) for the soundtrack to the new Insidious movie. Great stuff!

Siabhan was part of Bananarama. And the guy on the table was boyfriend of one of the other members of Bananarama.
Don't forget before Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart's partner was Barbara Gaskin and they released a killer remake of It's Your Party.

Saw Prince in Glasgow early 90s and they were the support 👍

Dont know if you have yet but definitely recommend Zombie by the cranberries. Its about the irish civil war
haha loved this song, the "weird" one was Siobhan a member of the girl group Banarama - and those women could drink haha (that was back in the 80s) 😂🎉🎶🇬🇧
The second girl was quite drunk when she did this. There was so much waiting around she had a tipple or two😅😅😅
This is such a beautiful song, and a surprise for everyone who sees the video for the first time, when death comes in. It has that 90's cheese layer that doesn't diminish the beauty or the power of the music, and everything combined makes for a music video that is hard to forget.
I've heard this song tons of times(radio listens) , I never knew the name of the band was Shakespeare's Sister
This song means a lot to me. It’s extremely evocative and it touches me deeply.
"You're History" & "I Don't Care" are also 🔥
Makes me sad, thinking of my "baby" brother who we lost end of January this year. He was bathed by his partner in his final days and hours. Also he loved this song and had the album.
Beautiful video .. the woman of Death (siobhan) was actually drunk on set so it actually helped her 😊 x
This song has also been stuck in my head from when I first heard it …a random hit that sticks with you!
for some reason this reminded me of a really great performance/song called 'fake monk' by hua chenyu. Its just him and a piano playing live, but he gets right into a character and puts the old shivers up the spine :)
There album Hormonally yours is one of my all time favourite it’s a must listen highly recommended 👍🏽
Siobhan fahey was drunk I believe in this video and was generally mad as a box of frogs.
the struggle between life and death.. fighting death to stay alive is what the song is about.
Wow, I remembered loving this song in the early 90s.
Never heard another peep from them.
The guy who "orchestrated" this piece is the same guy who pioneered Annie Lenox (The Eurythmics). He could certainly put together some real bangers!
I was 19 when this released and I've always had a soft spot for it.
Beautiful song!
YOU MUST LISTEN TO GHOST'S COVER OF THIS ONE! He did it with the guy who directed to last Insidious film.
This is two singers one was in Bananarama English band....
It STAYED at number #1 forever.
If you listen to the first few lines it seems to be about a suicide attempt - if this world is wearing thin, and your thinking of escape - (please seek help in your area if you're experiencing those feelings) and he's on a life support machine and death comes for him as he wanted to die and his love (life) and death fight over him to keep him in there 'world', and he's wakes choosing life...
First time I heard this was right now. Both excellent singers. This song is deep and bit creepy. Weird as that is, I really like it.
LOL it does have an 80s feel, you're right.
Great reaction Polo!! I LOVED this song when it came out (and 1992 was the year, so good call! Yes - cheese was ALL over the videos - and we ate it all up!) The character of 'death' is Siobhan Fahey, an original founding member of the 80's group Bananarama - where you might have heard Cruel Summer, or their cover of Venus.

Love this song ❤
You would love "Come Back and Stay" by Paul Young
Don't you dare, there's a million things from the 80s, and a few from the 90s to do before this thing even considered, even though it's by far his best one, not that that gets it far.
I really got into Shakespeare's Sister back then. Leonardo's Bride too.
I love Marcella Detroit's voice. ❤️
"Marcella´s part is a little weird"
Siobahn: hold my beer.
They were a great group. Check out 'I don't care'.. and in thier 2019 reunion, they do a spoof song of this song. Soon after this song (stay) the band split up, but the girls got back together again for a reunion album in 2019.
I haven't heard this either. Gaga grew up on this.stuff.lol
The second one "a great performer" was famously extremely drunk, she'd been waiting around all day whilst the first lady did her takes and got bored and ended up with many a vodka but the director went with it and thank god he did, this music video wouldnt have half the impact without this performance, meant to be lol
I am not surprised c at at all, great music is great music.
The vid is meant to be a little tongue in cheek. Check out Marcella Detroit's song called Detroit. Marcella is the lead singer on this vid.
At the time, it was crazy that Siobhan went from Bananarama to this.
Incidentally, at the time, you could buy pre-mixed bananarama cocktails from the off-licence. They were great! 🤪🍸

I miss MTV.
Thanks I love this song. 🙏🪷
In the end though, death will come for them both, hence death's eyeroll. (The small details)...
We all need a bit of corny in our lives 😂❤
I would like to see you listen to Shakey Graves- "Roll the Bones"
Sorry if you've done it already, but take a look at "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. All of her stuff is great but that really tugs on the heart strings. It's written from the perspective of a man anxious about his partner giving birth. It's powerful storytelling, much like all of her stuff. Also do "Wuthering Heights". Also, "Running Up That Hill". God, just do Kate Bush 😅
loved you in Alien 3
Think it's to do with good Vs evil and love and trust me Manson is in a league of his own the girl with black hair walking down the stairs she really normal in real life and the girl with short back hair is a trained classic singer
Personally, I think it’s a battle between death and a life of addiction. Addiction won.
For now!✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Another good song from them is “I Don’t Care”.
Tose Proeski ( In Memoriam) - Zajdi Zajdi
Love there song i dont care that was good
Bonnie Tyler " Total eclipse of the heart"
Don't know this one ❤ ain't no dancing to this one 😂 give grandma some Dwight ❤ fast as you please 🎉 ✌️ Polo...
The year before i went to the army, girlfriends aplenty, puppy love, fighting, drinking, partying, freedom. Incredible time.

Siobhan (death) was in Bananarama ❤
Marcella, the lead on this, took part in an U.K. show Popstar to Opera Star. She’s incredible.
It was the 90s. Videos are cheesy lol
Siobhan Fahey walking down those steps to that piano refrain as Death...honestly, it pisses on anything Manson has ever done. Easily.
Have you gone down the Korn rabbit hole yet?
👏👏👍👍
Im assuming youve done Sinead O'connor Nothing Compares to you. It will blow your mind
It took a few bottles of tequila for the vibe
It was vodka! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The song was great. Wish i'd heard it without the video . The goofy video kind of killed it for me.
that were 2 girls and they were before manson
I prefer Cradle of Filth's version of this song.
How much do I need to pay for you to react to little man by atmosphere?
I am LOVING all your videos, man! I wanna be a creator like you when I grow-up.
Except the woman that wants you to stay is scary controlling if you go back to the lyrics only. I feel Siobhain is really there to save that poor mf.😅 Hugs from Sweden.
Timing of pause to comment killed the momentum
Haha! Great singing and music. The video... meh. 😊
aside you got the name wrong its shakespears sisters :)
Polo, there’s some weirdness going on in this comments section.
I think it's because I showed up.
Beautiful Singing!
Nails on a chalkboard. Couldn't stay til the end.
You're not gonna look up Marilyn Manson?????
