The RARE Thing: Beauty... from the Inside A N D the Outside. You both are such great gorgeous woman... Would be a "Dream come true!"... to see Members of the Ocean Club LIVE. This is musicality... at its BEST. Love 2 ya!
Years later and I still come back. When I think of modern Berlin, this song/video is what I picture.. well, part of it. Need to visit there, it's only 8 hours from us. FABULOUS song/video!
"Antill nau II diddn't iewenn knoov thej maed a widdjoo aw thiss tuun. A vheil ago 2-vej photonicch scjbrspaesc gaew mie thie eidja that thej maed a widdjoo aw Marilyn Mansons' riemaed trach aw Down in the Park; ooh that that vr truu..."
One does not need to understand a single word to get the message that this delicious song and video delivers. Fantastic. So glad to have found these two, both solo and together. I am really getting into this style lately.
Both women are so beautiful.. if I had to select which I'd prefer to be, I absoutely cannot. They are like the I Dream of Jeannie sisters.. opposites yet both fabulous lol! Fab song!
Somewhere around ten years ago, I heard this song for the first time and instantly became a fan. It has always been very difficult to find your music until RUclips came along. You have a longstanding fan in Chicago.
this really isn't my style of music. But this song is so addictive and brilliantly simple that I may never go back to The Birthday Party or Sir Nick ever again.
AL: How his hands smelt clean like a good father's Like Gregory Peck's, how his eyes held things And the candles shined, the lips of his mouth And how something sparkled in them GG:I know he was home when you telephoned He is passive-aggressive He hates women AL: How he lets me use his firething, his firething GG: He lets you use, his lighter.
It's NOT your "imagination " little brother!!!, it's real, it's there!!! (and we we all gotta "readjust our reality" until it fits the "new" one that strangles us!!!😢😢
Yes, same here. It's the video/song that I come back to most often. I love the expression Gudrun makes at 1:31-1:32 ! She could clear a room with that glare.. love it. This song/video makes me want to visit Berlin very much and check out the scene.
According to songmeanings dot nett, the lyrics are: AL: His touch opens worlds; it rages, it riots It reveals not too much, me neither It's a sexy zig-zag, it's Salman Rushdie It's fugitive in my blood GG: He won't cure you of your memories And he might give you pictures You can never shake AL: How he lets me use his firething, his firething
More Anita Lane, please. Why an otherworldly chanteuse like her didn't enjoy more popularity is beyond me. Her vinyl underground classic, "Dirty Sings", (1989) is outreal. Try to track it down wherever used vinyl is sold. Best cut? "Lost in Music", a Sister Sledge cover ~ (•8-D}
Oh, SWEET Anita, and sweet Gudrun too! Really, this is an incredible song. Totally sexy, yet undercut throughout by sarcasm and irony [dig the final line of the song, which collapses the whole narrative]. If you think about it, "Firething" - with its conflation of male sexuality and charisma with dangerous heat - can rather be considered a version of [The Birthday Party's] "Sonny's Burning", done from a female perspective. Just a thought...
Thank you. It opens up the song far more for me because I could not understand many of the lyrics, it seems. I was more focused on the movement, beat, feel, look. This is a bonus :)
wow, only a real fan can see the Anita's style evolution on videoclips it makes me think about how time in someway was changing Anita Lane's style i don't know if i make myself clear what i want to mean... =\
I watch this video so much it's indecent. It's probably more indecent that I do so thanks to a crush (of sorts) I've developed on Anita, though. I build up these images of people (quite consciously fictional things) and then become obsessed with those images. I guess the benefit of doing that with versions of people who existed years ago is that there's absolutely zero expectation of it having anything to do with who these people really are. Is it idol worship this way, or something else?

Ok I just have to add this after listening/watching this video several times.. this is probably the most erotic music video I have ever seen. Madonna? Give it up. You don't come close. (And I say this as a fan of hers since 1983.)
Good bye sweet princess, I like this song since I was a kid, so many memories. Thanx for all.
I just love how Gudrun lands anita..."he lets you use his lighter" is just simply amazing....
Are there any Mortal Kombat nerds still out there ... still listening in 2024 and will be listen till never never! Hahahahaha FIRETHING🎶🎵🎧

Anita Lane..... Guapísima y muy hermosa y encantadora....... siempre.....
The aesthetics are strong in this one... then again it's the 90s - aesthetics are strong PERIOD.
I am a proud MK nerd 🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🎧🎧🎧 Never seen the vid for this song till now, thanks for the upload!😆 Lost my MK soundtrack CD so... mmmh thanks a bunch!

Good to see im not the only Mortal Kombat nerd here
Yep, More Kombat :D
lol
MORTAL KOMBAt: MORE KOMBAT, in my opinion, is a great, great album
Tom Flood Yep! The entire soundtrack from the second movie is pretty epic too. A few songs may get on your nerves after a few listens tho...
Great song but never saw this vid til now, always loved it from MK CD. Not sure which one is hotter lol.
this really isn't my style of music. But this song is so addictive and brilliantly simple that I may never go back to The Birthday Party or Sir Nick ever again.
Never go back to The Birthday Party??? Surely you must be joking, sir. Or did so 15 years ago anyway.
The girl in white hypnotized me!
AL: How his hands smelt clean like a good father's
Like Gregory Peck's, how his eyes held things
And the candles shined, the lips of his mouth
And how something sparkled in them
GG:I know he was home when you telephoned
He is passive-aggressive
He hates women
AL: How he lets me use his firething, his firething
GG: He lets you use, his lighter.
In 2021 (1/2) I just NOW got a "Harley Quinn" "vibe" off this vid!!!......just me, or anybody else feel that?
It's NOT your "imagination " little brother!!!, it's real, it's there!!! (and we we all gotta "readjust our reality" until it fits the "new" one that strangles us!!!😢😢

I absolutely love this
I finally found it after all these years. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Denglisch word play!
From Malaria /Matador/ T.Felhman etc. So many years great Gudrun,s music. THX
So ein Spitzenstück und ich habe es erst Jahre später gefunden...
gudrun gut, beautiful creature, ty for this
R.I.P Anita
According to songmeanings dot nett, the lyrics are:
AL: His touch opens worlds; it rages, it riots
It reveals not too much, me neither
It's a sexy zig-zag, it's Salman Rushdie
It's fugitive in my blood
GG: He won't cure you of your memories
And he might give you pictures
You can never shake
AL: How he lets me use his firething, his firething
I love everything about this. Several times over.

Its a literal translation of Feuerzeug (lighter). Feuer = fire, zeug = thing.
@voltz15
hey! this is part of the album members of the ocean club- but it was on mortal combat- yes. :-)
#old-school_of_90th_forever!!!
@gudrungut
the album is amazing!

i don't know if i make myself clear what i want to mean... =\
exelente!!...
Good sound
Pure Visual and musical Art - P
I've been looking for this song since I lost the More Kombat CD 5 or 6 years ago.
wunderschöne damen in wunderschönem ambiente, manchmal wünscht man sich im berlin der frühen 80er aufgewachsen zu sein *g* ab ins eisengrau
старые кошолки🤘🤘
Thanks for putting this up!
RIP Anita :-(
HAHAH omggggg i loved the ending.. Gudrun you're awesome
Love it!
que bellas
"It's Salman Rushdie"
She's referring to Sub Zero, of course
Original, creative, wonderful! Where the fuck was I?
I feel like playing a mortal Kombat game
I watch this video so much it's indecent. It's probably more indecent that I do so thanks to a crush (of sorts) I've developed on Anita, though.

Very impressive!!!
Michail.
Good!!
How his hands smelt clean like a good father's
Like Gregory Peck's, how his eyes held things
And the candles shined, the lips of his mouth
And how something sparkled in them
this was on the mortal kombat soundtrack. i think the 2nd movie. i loved this fucking song.
Gudrun Gut

"Danke, Mortal Kombat. At '2:00' issz that 'vhat's-hr-naem' fram tha Switchblade Symphony widdjoo aw Clown enndrinh tha 1:01 y again enndrinh 1:05, 1:14?"
i want to get the lyrics! where??
Mortal Kombat More Kombat
where can I get this song??????
Have you written and asked Gudrun? She's a lovely person and I believe she'd be happy to comply.
supposedly about Nick Cave?
a complex feminist masterpiece or should i say mistresspiece
Ok I just have to add this after listening/watching this video several times.. this is probably the most erotic music video I have ever seen. Madonna? Give it up. You don't come close. (And I say this as a fan of hers since 1983.)
Mortal Kombat brought me here.
hell yea me2
I kneeded MOAR KOMBAT
Ahead of their time

@sirsniffy Lmao!
@sirsniffy Because it´s german....
What, for having crazy cheekbones? Err. . .
I agree! and sorry, I accidentally thumbed you down. damn my clumsy fingers!
Urgh! I don't understand german! By the way, nice video
gudrun looks like she'd be blixa bargelds twin.
Erotic? WTF?
@gudrungut the album is amazing!
