Dear Prudence,
Won′t you come out to play?
Dear Prudence,
Greet the brand new day
The sun is up,
The sky is blue
It's beautiful
And so are you
Dear Prudence,
Won′t you come out and play?
Dear Prudence,
Open up your eyes
Dear Prudence,
See the sunny skies
The wind is low
The birds will sing
That you are part
Of everything
Dear Prudence,
Won't you open up your eyes?
Look Around, round, round, round, round
Look around, Round, round, round, round

Dear Prudence,
Let me see you smile
Dear Prudence,
Like a little child
The clouds will be
A daisy chain
So let me see,
You smile again
Dear Prudence,
Won't you let me see you smile?

I was in Venice when they were filming this... was woken up in the middle of the night to hear this outside my window... they were on the bridge right next to the building I was in... very cool thing to wake up to !!
+Lindsey Starr Lucky you, witnessing a moment in time. I love Souixsie.
The new generation has been introduced to bands like the Beatles and Journey. It's time for the Banshees dammit
If it helps... I heard "Peek-a-Boo" on Sirius satellite radio a week ago on channel 33 "1st Wave" and I've been devouring Siouxsie's work since then.
I keep believe I never knew who sang this before. I'd heard this song in the past, but I guess I chalked it up to someone else.
Go Siouxsie!!
+Lindsey Starr what a time to be alive :)
+Rob Heathers "I keep believe I never knew who sang this before. I'd heard this song in the past, but I guess I chalked it up to someone else. "
Perhaps because it was originally done by the Beatles? Lennon wrote the song for Mia Farrow's sister Prudence. When they were all living in India in the late 60s, she was obsessed with meditating and he wrote the song as a way of convincing her to take it down a couple notches. :-)
This is how a cover should be done. Maybe the best cover of a Beatles tune. This group has aged well for me over time. I can't say that about every band.
You should check Laibach - Across the universe, no intention to negate Siouxsie's cover, but Laibach also did a kick-ass cover
This is better than the beatles although its 1983, sounds very 1968 love the phasing a trend of the time.
I agree this is the best cover of a Beatles song. I prefer it to the original.
Agree, a good cover. Check here another really good Beatles cover: ruclips.net/video/LoIyUl10ChQ/видео.html
@@graemekornicki6810 Absolutely not better than the original, are you nuts? lol
Siouxsie said once that she taught Robert Smith how to use a lipstick. They are both so sweet.
If that is true, they must have been smashed as his lipstick game has always needed a lot of work. ;)
Ik they're so adorable!
Wish Robert would have taught her to shave under her arms
DKK 😄
@@dman3822 hahahahahahaha
Something about this version makes it the most satisfying. Trippy, swirling, enigmatic and humble. Terrific stuff.
Compared to when McCartney starts riding that bass in the beginning? Or when that insane harmony chimes in?
I like it with 1.5.
@@dangercolt1493 or when Lennon’s surreal guitar arpeggio chimes in?? 🤔⚡️
You also just described the original.
I love it more than the Beatles' version. lots more. She's always over the top.
I loved seeing Robert Smith with Siouxsie!
Babe Aliv
ME TOO!
Me too
too bad they hated each other
@@buffy8021 Did they? i thought they were on good terms.
This is the song that played at the end of my nan's funeral. I can't listen to it without crying. It was my nan's favourite song and she always asked us to play it at least once every holiday we had together. I miss her so much, its been almost a year since I've lost her and it still hurts like I've just lost her. I'm glad there's a song to always remember her by no matter how much it hurts.
Perfect song
@@dangercolt1493 well it was the Siouxsie and the banshees version that she liked best
Dramatic much?
Love for her know I know she wants you to keep jamming to this song and living life happily:);).,
I Respect that
Bittersweet memories of my punk friend and I singing this during lunch break at school while our friends were banging to the rhythm on the tables. Such a beautiful mixed group of friends we had: white, black and everything in between, punk, new wave, disco, preppy, all enjoying the crap out of this song and many, many more, I truly and deeply miss the 1980s. How I wish the youngsters of today could have such an impactful, loving, carefree decade to keep them going on years later.
As a Gen Z I wish we could do this freely
@@Akiko_Melancholy dude I was a 90s teen and I could say that was a great decade too sadly your generation is getting the sh*t end of the stick but its really up to you kids to rise above you have too because anything after you is too scary to imagine
What makes you think they arent ("the youngsters of today could have such an impactful, loving, carefree decade"). Just because you dont get it doesnt mean everyone else is also stuck in the 80s. Every generation says the same thing and thinks their music and youth was the best times. Theres plenty of great music still out there and if you dont see it, then you havent look hard enough. There is more now with the internet than ever before. Sure theres lots of crap too...but the 80s also had them.
Same for the 70's
@@avidadolares sure, there is still plenty of great music for kids today, but as a tail end millennial I can tell you that things are definitely not as carefree and laid back today, even compared to when I was a child. 9/11 literally changed everything. When I started elementary school the doors were never locked and we could pretty much wonder wherever we wanted at recess. After 9/11 the doors were locked and we were kept much closer to the school for fear of having to evac us if something else happened. We never worried about school shootings, to the point that during hunting season a lot of kids kept their guns in their trucks because they were hunting even before or after school. A lot of us carried pocket knives on us all the time and it was never an issue unless you took it out at school during a time it wasn't appropriate to do so, and even then you went to either the teacher or the office at the end of the day and got it back. Cops weren't called about it or anything. Kids today would catch a weapons charge if they took a knife to school. So yeah, kids today still have great music but they are far from as carefree as we were back then. Things have been completely changed and I watched it happen in real time.
Why do people call Siouxsie ugly? Genuinely asking. She's one of the prettiest singers I've seen feature-wise. Her eyes are God-tier.
The people who are saying that are probably the same people who have a problem with her having hair under her arms. They’re just close minded old white men. Siouxsie is gorgeous!
Some people think she's ugly because she doesn't have a six pack, short blonde hair, a red shirt, sunglasses, cool one liners and probably still has gum.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
cause she's "a weirdo" in terms of modern standards of beauty. That's a casual react of people to someone's difference.
@@mymindmakesnoises We need more "weirdos" to celebrate differences. People like her are what makes the world interesting.
Today is my best friend Prudence's birthday! Her mother named her after this song cause she loved Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Beatles too! I always thought this song suited her, since she is beautiful, quiet and kinda shy. I've known her since 5th grade! Since the first time I saw her i knew i wanted her to be my friend and have her in my life! I'm so happy she is and hope we have many more years together! Today she turns 23! For you my dear friend! The sun is up the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you.
This is so beautiful! :)
I went out with a girl called prudence when she dumped me i knicked her motorcycle cause i was a butthurt sorry prudence waldorf i luv ya forgive me .
Rosa T you're lovely.
25 now Prudence.
I was so gothing it up to this when I was 16. Now I'm 50 and I've got all these cute memories flying around in my head. I deliberately stopped listening so I could get the recall and it's so awesome. I kept lots of the other tunage though.
You should try it too. It's a fun little thing to do.🙂💎
that's really nice of you to say that for your friend!
Also check out her on an English program called Revolver from back in the day ,when I was a kid ,singing Hong Kong garden live. Pretty epic and a good childhood memory of mine. Just passing on the music. Cheers
Rumoured that McCartney said this was his favourite cover of a Beatles song
That's nice...if true?
Richard Cochrane I highly doubt that, not that good...check out the movie Across the Universe for a much better version.
Richard Cochrane What does HE know?
Who gives a toss what he thinks .hes not fit to judge a turd in my toilet or the arse it came out of.that is all.
Both versions are awesome but totally different
I’m in shock because I have never heard them before now! Absolutely beautiful! I’m so happy I got to spend some time with them and see them with new eyes 👀 and listen with best music ever with virgin ears,Simply amazing!!!
So much awesomeness missed. Get at least their first few albums and go from there.
Siouxsie, Susan, has certainly had her place in history, in music and in art. She has an incredible voice! Very brave, iconic, magical, different, creative, and beautiful. Well done Siouxsie/Susan, I have appreciated you and your inspiring testimony to your talents, since the 1980's. Thankyou! Gbu.
Yeah, a total icon.
This takes me back to the 80s when I lived in Germany and was obsessed with this band. One of my friends looked just like Siouxsie with the same hair style and makeup. Good times.....
And same hairy armpits too?
Siouxsie is just gorgeous
apart from her arm pits.
robert smith is gorgeous
Ballocks
Lady Miss Kier looks better to me IMO.
absolutely!!!!!
This song always makes me think of my beautiful daughter.
We've been through absolute hell, and all I want is to see her be whole and happy...fully her beautiful, powerful, magical self. I just want to hold her hand through it all.
I love you, my girl.💚🌻💚🌻
Sometimes you can only lead by example.
Try to stand back. Yes she wants you on that back foot as she is looking for you to bite back..you never need to and that is scary to her !
But don’t take no shit neither.
Always loved Siouxsie (aka Miss Susan) and her Banshees! A masterpiece of video and music. Cool sound and Venice in 1984! Bought the EP in April 1984 - still have it and it has been played well. Paul was right when he said this was the best cover. Do listen to John's original and smile, together.
This video cemented my love for the Banshees. The coolest, most underrated, and spooky yet most beautiful band in the world, that marched to the beat of their own drum! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
"Underrated" my arse. Why does every second comment about everyone say this FFS
literally only found out about her today for the first time in my life she is DEFINITELY underrated
this song has such a place in my heart
ofck this revange pic. Next Killjoy here? :D
Yay a killjoy:D
and this is a Grace Neutral on your profile pic? Ofck I think I love you both now
+Aleksandra Sadłowska yep ahaha
twins souls omfg
Not many covers are this good. My favorite and definitely one of the best covers ever!
A good Beatles cover? Almost impossible, and yet this one is better than the original. Notice how psychedelic it is.
Always loved that bit at 1:28 when it's like Siouxsie's vocal track has been dunked in a sonic bubble bath ⚪️
What a great way to describe it!
Flanger effect
Simple flanger pedal, methinks. 😊❤
I know, right?!
This band have a unique sound there is no one like them.
I had a teacher that looked and dressed like her. She was awesome!
@matty bahaha probably
was she prude ?
@@solunasunrise dr frankenfurter?
Siouxsie And The Banshees > smokey and the bandit
WoodRatGirl the eye Make-up too?
I've loved this song since I was a teen, especially the grimly beautiful, dark, sick sound to it, it's like dying Autumn leaves wishing well upon the Spring babies?
Siouxsie and the Banshees were vastly underrated. Not many people can cover a Beatles song and make it their own, more memorable than the original
Totally agree, definitely better than the original and that's a huge compliment to the Beatles too. Awesome rendition!
@@jejjerw3173 No way is it better than the original but it's a very good cover.
Oh my effing god. You presumably weren't alive at the time were you? Siousxsie and the Banshees were NOT under rated. Oh, and "underrated" is the most overrated word on RUclips.
Original is just Unique itself
@@jejjerw3173 NO M8 ITS QUITE A GOOD COVER AND HOW IS A COMPLIMENT? A PUNK/GOTH BAND DO A BEATLES COVER WOW LIKE NO ONE HAS EVER COVERD SONG BY THE BEATLES RIGHT? THIS IS A MIDLING TO GOOD COVER OF ONE OF LENNON'S CLASSICS AND SIOUXSIE AND THE THE BANSHESS WERE FOLLOWERS NEVER LEADERS.
Among the very best Beatle covers
Better than Candy Flip's Strawberry Fields, for sure!
Cedric Herrera joe cocker " with a little help from my friends" is also a good cover
YES!
@@resireg that is an incredible performance. Live at Woodstock as well
@@nietzchepreacher9477 the Woodstock version he uses his own band for the backing vocals. During the "Mad Dog and the Englishman" tour, he hired professional female singers, so it sounds better in my opinion.
Still adore this version, so many years later. They did a great job.
Love the mix of darkness and light. I discovered Siuoxie and the banshees thanks to this song and I didn’t know back then that it was a cover. Dark, sexy, talented and super creative. At that time they were from another world to me.
This version is so haunting and beautiful. They outdid the Beatles.
Nice to see I'm only about 30 years late discovering this video.
Better late than never lovey!
I just heard it on the radio and had to look up the video!
I love the era with Robert Smith as the guitarist. they're great musicians and they came together and made this!! this is amazing!!
Robert looks adorable like a banshee 🖤❤️
This is a time capsule for me... I literally just burst into tears.
Love² peace justice Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌿
Awww look at Robert. Such a cutie.
Can't agree more.
Now he is fattie
Hes so beautiful
@@miked3168 he always been kinda fattie
This is more Beatles than the Beatles. This is the way you cover a song.
This is one of the best covers of any song ever.
This band is truly original. I love them
2020 and still one of my favorites to get the day started.
Excellent choice
Can't beat a bit a Siouxsie to get you going in the morning :)
...and end with Spelbound... ideal life...
Won't you come out to play?
2022 not 2020
Ive always thought one of the best Beatles covers ever .....brilliant
Thank God we had great artists like this 🌠⚡💫
only listened to three songs from this band and I'm already entranced. kickass music vids too!
So am I! I've only known the band's name for ages and listened to "Spellbound" a few months ago thanks to a David Bowie's video --> Bauhaus --> Siouxsie and the Banshees. Never too late to discover incredible bands/songs/sounds and I love The Cure, so weird! 🤔🤷🏽♀️😅
Look up the song : "She's Cukoo" up on Spotify if you use it.
My fav Siouxsie hidden gem.
A Gothic masterpiece!! The look of the video, the production of the song itself all outstanding.
Siouxie isn't Goth. She's said as much in several interviews. But that doesn't keep peeps from making that assumption.
"Proto-Goth"
@@apolonyus-sun And this is why music became over labeled. I totally blame the confused min-wage employee at the record stores in the 90s who started this ridiculous categorization of music. So, welcome to:
Etherial Wave
Dark Wave
Cold Wave
Post-Punk
Goth Metal
Goth Rock
Or what's worse is "Industrial" with BS like:
EBM
Dark Ambient
Electro
Cyber
@@Teknopuls3 "labels" are not a "problem". If you have a conflict with labeling the music, it's your problem. Categorize or "labeling" the styles or musical genres are part of Musical Deconstruction (part of music history). If you have the opportunity to go a music academy or simply to know the basics of music theory you will realize that...
Differentiating between different styles of music is not difficult. Music must be distinguished and differentiated. At this point, the different genres/styles of "Dark Alternative Music" are differents and not fail into the same label..
@@apolonyus-sun Music "must" be distinguished and differentiated"??? Why? I understand genres (country, rock, electronic, classical etc) but to get to that level of micro-categorization is enigmatic of how GenZ/Millenials approach gender identification. Yes, you can over-label and thus over-complicate a subject to a point that it devolves to people arguing about where it 'fits' over simply enjoying the music and moving on.
Take Classical music for example...it's pretty known what to expect to hear when someone mentions Classical Music...you immediately think of Beethoven, Mozart, Hadyn, Wagner...but there is no sub-categorization of that whole genre...Why? Is it because it's "all the same" or is it just that its not as popular, and thusly, not focused on to sub-categorize? And, if so, where are the 15 different sub-categories of Classical music?
To put so much effort into doing this with modern music...it's akin and stinks of the Indie snob claiming "I heard them first and..." at your local starbucks.
this band brings great memories for me and my brother was alive then and he used to say he didn't like soiuxsie and the banshees but I'd hear him singing their songs when he thought no one was around godbless you soiuxsie
🙏❤
Having a little retro binge on Siouxsie. Excellent nostalgic songs.
Best cover ever
Siouxsie the original, unique beautiful Bromley girl.
The Bromley posse! I worked in Bromley when I lived in England and I used to daydream about any one of them wandering past the shop I worked in or even coming into it. Fab! 🙂💎
Seriously, I'm obsessed with this song!!!!
This and many more like cities in dust
@@cristianlauga9551 and all of their songs!
@@cristianlauga9551 Or Dazzle.
It's a Beatles song!
This is not just a cover of the Beatles, John Lennon's masterpiece, but is a testament to the fact that Siouxsie showed she could OWN THE SONG. IT IS HER SONG.
Just Like Janis Joplin owns Kris Kristoffersons....Bobby McGee
Nah mate pretty sure it’s johns
@@georgeydlfc true,but this is better
@@inkoinfinity2 bit rushed
@@georgeydlfc not to me
I love how Robert is in this as a banshee
Absolutely LOVE this version. Brilliant!
Was a little guy and the school librarian used to let us watch music videos on a massive old betamax machine in a back room and this had just come out, BOOM, it was like my mind had just exploded, a beautiful lifeline away from the dour mediocrity all around me,I could be my own person and there she was doing it with more artistry and assurance than I was ever told possible. Love and respect Siouxsie Sioux.
My mother used to play this song for me when I was a child and I now am listening to it whilst writing a book :)
Update: Everything's gone now, aha, fuck.
WOW, first time ever listening to this. September 22, 2023 at 12:21AM in

..... this is fantastic
This is my first time also. This is outstanding.

A faithful rendition that still bears Siouxsie's distinctive sonic stamp. One of only a handful of decent Beatles covers. Thanks for posting!

I don't often prefer covers to originals but, well, here we are...
this is much better than the original !
The original is completely different
An other one is "the man who sold the world " from Bowie and later Nirvana. Both incredible good. But in general you are right.
She's one really down to earth woman. Had some brilliant laughs with her at aftershow parties with gary numan and saffron from republica back in the day 👤🎤🎹
This is the only cover that captures and expands on the feel of the original.
watery guitars,reverb up the wazoo,just a wall of ethereal perfection..this is the 80's music that makes me wistful.
You know who the guitarist was?
Music, is by far the best drug in the world.
One of the best voices of the era. One of the greatest bands of all time...
i feel like crying and i have goosebumps when i hear this version, superb musicians
My sweet city in this video..
don't care for this much; her pronunciation of the words to the song
It simply gets better with every 'gear change'. Brilliant cover.
For my Sister Deb. For all people who are grieving over losing a loved one. Do not feel badly for them, they are gone to a perfect world. You must carry on, and keep on living and learning about Love.
I just recently discovered this band via Johnny Rotten's autobiography, and I have to say, they're pretty amazing. I love how they balance gothic imagery with Siouxsie's whimsical and some times harsh vocals. They sort of remind me of The Cure but on another level. I love this band.♥
They were a huge influence on the Cure, since Robert Smith was the Guitar player in this band for a bit... he's the only one with Black hair in this video
Justin Cook Nice. :o
Justin Cook nope both bands start at the same time, they were friends that's why he played guitar and definitely the cure had their own thing
Justin Cook enjoy it! Excellent music. My favorite song for many, many years. I may be wrong, but this is a Beatles song.
Robert smith was a bashee
Easily one of the all time great covers of any song ever.
Now that’s how you cover a song! They made it their own. I love both songs equally.
Beatles are my fave band and love Dear Prudence. But I also love the 80's and the Banshees cover is sublime. Love it. Video is amazing too
I love the song and I'm a passionate Beatles fan but... this version is superb
I agree!
I'm absolutely the same! I'm a complete Beatles freak, but OMG this version...
Bought the single when it was in the charts. I was eleven - that feels quite impressive now! Lol x
nahhh, I gotta disagree on this take.Too synthpopy, and I love synth pop.
Hi Giulia I think this would be considered the quintessential cover of 'Dear Prudence' and just a great cover of a Beatles song period.I'm a passionate Beatles Fan too-have the remastered boxset.
Agree with the poster. Great tune.
I love her voice
This beautiful lady has done full justice to this song. Period!
Some of my teachers have some great playlists lol my History teacher for one loved Siouxsie and the Banshees he once called them “one of the greatest bands of all time”
I was 12 in 1984 when I bought this - great song always and I feel old lol x
I always cry when I listen to this song now. It's the song that played at my nan's funeral, it was one of her favourite songs. I miss her so much, and this song reminds me of her bobbing her head to this song when we played it at Christmas dinner ❤️
L'âge d'or de Siouxsie and the Banshees , magnifiques Gipsies psychedeliques , vous êtes depuis vos débuts et pour toujours dans mon coeur , avec ou sans Robert .
She is absolutely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
This song always brings a tear to my eye.
Same here dude.
Still my favourite song of all time, even after all these years.
One question, why are they NOT in the Hall of fame???
Agreed!
This song is absolutely lovely!
I have to say, I like it a lot better than the original.
LOL Rob is cracking me up in this one
I love the part when she sings Dear Prudence let me see your smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
Siouxsie is such a beautiful woman !
Siouxsie Sioux had a historical look. Besides a great singer.
She captured the soul of the song staying Siouxie .............extraordinary.
Even though original version has a special place in my heart, I love this version as much as the original.
Her dress is fucking awsome!!
It's so cute seeing Robert Smith tumbling around trying to hug everybody. :D
I LOVE this version of Dear Prudence WAY MORE than the Beatles version....it's just AMAZING!!!
You Blaspheme sir. I shall have you taken to the gallows and have you listen to Taylor Swift for 300 hours.
@@paolobenmore3504 damn how can i get there sounds like fun
@@paolobenmore3504 dont diss taylor! yea shes basic but awsome
both are awesome
I saw Souxie Sue waaaaaay back in 1982, & what made Her Cooler, besides walking that skinhead with Her Mic, was the fact that Robert Smith was Her Rythm Geetar player, AWESOME!!!
Where it was, where you saw her?
Esse som é uma obra prima,tanto com os Beatles como com a Siouxsie
Tempo dos darks.
the ultimate cover of one of the most underrated Beatles songs
Being swedish, around 17 years old and having enjoyed schooling we knew, at the time ( Around -81), having read "Bury my heat at Wounded knee", we knew and felt for the loss of the tribes ....and, it goes without saying, we loved Sooksie Seeooks! ( that was the way we pronounciated Sioux in swedish as we played reds&whites back then. Very not PC. I don't worry too much though. I'm pretty sure the big chief will welcome me when the day comes. I'd like to take the old Bull fishing, watching the river flow and listen to this song.
Roberts so cute in this
I was a bit nonplussed by this band as a kid, but this is immense.
Siouxsie found the dark side of this Beatles' song, transforming it into something strange, mystifying and beautiful!❤😮😮😂
Strange, mystifying and beautiful - definitely, yes. I find it uplifting though, especially Severin's bass playing.
No mystery...Souxzie is encouraging Prudence to come out of the closet.
i rarely like covers but this cover,, its great
Same here, there's not many really good cover versions in my opinion but this one isn't too bad. I know it's a Beatles song and I can see where Oasis got their inspiration for Wonderwall from. I can count on one hand how many good cover versions there has been. The Beat's version of "Tears Of A Clown", The Jam's "Move On Up" , Japan's "I Second That Emotion" and No Doubt's "It's My Life" for me are the only decent cover versions. There are some songs though that artists have covered and totally ruined but I won't go into that, needless to say that the vast majority of them are Boy Bands. Can you explain your name "We are number one but Baggy Trousers by Madness, I'm intrigued !!!
japan is a great band dude.. my name refers to a lazy town song and how its influenced by the madness song just look up "we are number one but' and youll find a bunch of videos people make of the song but edited it random ways.. its a meme, bro
We Are Number One But Baggy Trousers By Madness Thanks for letting me know. I'll look that up. I thought Japan were a very under rated band. Songs like Cantonese Boy, Life In Tokyo, Quiet Life,Visions Of China,European Son,Nightporter,All Tomorrow's Parties and of course Ghosts and I Second That Emotion never got the recognition they deserved. Also the album Tin Drum which is my personal favourite hasn't got a weak track on it. Not forgetting the brilliant "Forbidden Colours" David Sylvian did with Sakamoto. I still play their albums and they have definitely stood the test of time. Cheers
