  • Kate performs "Violin" on the 1979 Christmas special.
    Lyrics:
    Four strings across the bridge,
    Ready to carry me over,
    Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,
    Out of the realm of the orchestra,
    Out of the realm of the orchestra.
    Filling me up with the shivers.
    Filling me up with the shivers and quivers.
    Filling me up with the shivers.
    Get the bow going!
    Let it scream to me:
    Violin! Violin! Violin!
    Get the bow going!
    Let it scream to me:
    Violin! Violin! Violin!
    Paganini up on the chimney,
    Lord of the dance,
    With Nero and old Nicky.
    Whack that devil
    Into my fiddlestick!
    Give me the Banshees for B.V.s,
    Give me the Banshees for B.V.s.
    Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
    Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee.
    Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
    Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!
    Get the bow going!
    Let it scream to me:
    Violin! Violin! Violin!
    Get the bow going!
    Let it scream to me:
    Violin! Violin! Violin!
    Get the bow going!
    Let it scream to me:
    Violin! Violin! Violin!
    Get the bow going!
    Let it scream to me:
    Violin! Violin! Violin!

    I love that the BBC were like “let’s give Kate Bush a no restrictions Christmas special that she can do whatever she wants with.” And the result? Violin Demons and Peter Gabriel complaining about dinner not being ready. I love it so much.

    Strangely, an acquaintance posting a link to this video was my introduction to Kate Bush.
    I thought it was some kind of joke: one of those cringe-inducing relics of pop culture excess the internet loves so much. Something about her intrigued me, though--was it her playful and utter shamelessness?--and drew me in. My memories of discovering her music are literally some of my most cherished.
    Ten albums and not even a decade later, I feel like I've known her music all my life. Kate Bush: salute!

      You are right sir in everything you say.
      What is more... her track 'Violin' (I believe from her album ' Never For Ever' is one of the rockiest tracks EVER performed by a British female artist.
      The rock guitar instrumentation and the dynamics of her voice on this track are testaments to that fact.
      On the album, when she reached the crescendo of loudness on the track, you can actually hear her voice breaking through her own vocal voice register.
      That was how passionate Kate Bush was on this track.
      On this track ( I believe more than ANYTHING) SHE HAS EVER RECORDED, She really played the Men performing in British rock music, at their own game.

    It's brilliant how I've been listening to Kate Bush for nearly 40 years and I still seem to have a different favourite song every month. Right now it's Violin. I suppose it's because all her songs are so different and unique and I like this one coz it rocks and she gets really crazy in it.

    I ended up in hospital after watching this a a kid, though that is down to my dad telling me and not my memory as I was a very young child at the time. I was born with a renal defect and so if I need to go the loo I have to do so or there are repercussions so much so my asking in school classes for permission to go was only out of politeness and if the teacher said no I just got up and went anyway. THe very few teachers who said no were told by the headmasters to just say yes and their punishments were revoked by the headmasters. .
    I could not do so as I was captivated as a 5 year old, and so it ended up with me in hospital. All I can say is it was worth it. :-)
