Siobhan’s ‘eye roll’ at the end makes me laugh every time. It’s like, “Oh have him then” 🤣
She'll be back....
@@xaosflux 🤣🤣
Exactly
He'll be hers eventually!!
Hahaha! Absolutely 💯
Some songs are timeless. This is one of them.
Hey, Mike and Ginger! I’m so glad to see a Shakespears Sister reaction. Haven’t seen much of those here in RUclips. As a Bananarama and Shakespears Sister fan, I’m going to give some pieces of information just as curious facts.
Siobhan Fahey, the former Bananarama band member, left the band in early 1988 as she became more and more unhappy with the musical direction the band group was taking. She thought the music had become too slick and poppy. This was at the time they had released hits like I Heard and Rumor and Love in the First Degree. Added to her unhappiness with the band, she got married with Dave Stewart from Eurythmics and had become a mom. The family moved to Los Angeles. Siobhan knew she wanted to venture out musically speaking and had decided to go solo but deep inside she never felt secure of going completely solo. Later, she met Marcella Detroit, who was at the time the girlfriend of Richard Feldman, one of the songwriters Siobhan had been collaborating with. Dave Stewart saw how Siobhan and Marcella were working together and suggested they formed the band. Shakespears Sister was born. Siobhan got the name from The Smiths song of the same name only that when creating one of the band’s signs a typo was done but it was decided to be kept with typo and everything as it also meant the name of the band would have its own identity other than The Smiths song.
About Stay, I’m going to give you some cool facts:
#1: Yes, the album’s name is Hormonally Yours. The title of the album was because at the time of the recording both Siobhan and Marcella were pregnant.
#2: Stay remained on the top of the charts in the U.K. for 8 consecutive weeks. It is the band’s biggest hit and one of the singles that stayed the most time at #1 over there.
#3: Siobhan hated Stay - I’m not sure if she’s changed her mind about that - because she felt it was not representative of the band. Siobhan usually was the lead vocalist but in Stay it was the other way around. Marcella performed lead vocals and Siobhan did backing vocals and that solo bit when the guitars kick in.
#4: Siobhan almost always wrote the lyrics of Shakespears Sister’s songs. However, with Stay, the only part she wrote was the section she sang herself.
#5: About the video, Siobhan drank a whole bottle of vodka prior to shooting her scenes. Apparently, she felt restless of having to wait long hours on the set so she drank the vodka. Vodka or no vodka her performance in the video was stellar and it is scary.
#6: The male model that appears in the Stay video is Thomas Scott-Evans, who dated another Bananarama member, Keren Woodward (the brunette) and fathered her only child.
#7: The Stay video was banned in Germany because the video was given the interpretation that it was about resurrecting the dead.
#8: At the time of the Hormonally Yours album release and its respective singles releases, Marcella and Siobhan’s relationship had deteriorated up to the point when they were not speaking to each other. Marcella got her own manager behind Siobhan’s back and Siobhan became a little jealous of the recognition Stay got, the sole song whose lead vocals were not performed by her. Siobhan eventually started battling depression which led to the break up of the band. Siobhan would continue under Shakespears Sister’s name but it was just her. She got into a psychiatric unit and fortunately recovered. Also as something else that is fortunate, in more recent years Siobhan and Marcella met and talked for the first time in about 27 years, cleared their differences, buried the hatchet, got together, released new music and toured.
#9: Please do check other Shakespears Sister’s songs. Hello (Turn Your Radio On) is a must. Stay is beautiful but for me Hello is an underrated hell of a masterpiece.
Sorry for the long-ass post. I guess I get carried away when it comes to the music I love.
Thanks for all the back story! We'll have to check out other stuff, as you've suggested. -M
Not at all! That is a fantastic slew of info! Thank you ❤️ - G
Wow "Hello" is another forgotten great song. Thanks for the reminder.
#7 not true!
"Hello" is my fav after this. I liked the new single they released after their reunion.
Eyeroll by Death at 5:04 "I'll be back within a few decades"
Fab pop song which has stood the test of time! ❤❤❤❤
Fun fact Siobhan had been in the pub most of the day waiting to do her bit in the video, I think you can tell she had afew 😅
3:20 The change of the song is the best part.
Siobhan Fahey was so very wonderful, amazing and beautiful as death in this video. :)
It doesn't matter if she was very drunk when filming this video, she still gave a fantastic performance. :)
I think it helped tbh. lol.
I don't care how drunk Siobhan was,when she was in Bananarama and I was about ten....... We were going to get married,A)she didn't know it and B) we never met! 🏴
I fell in love with her the instant I saw her
@ too slow,I saw her in Bananarama! Go find yourself you're own wish! ❤️🏴
@@staceyenglish8936 I didn't say when ...
When you started naming the Banarama songs I was blown away! This song has had a huge impact on my life in various ways. The first though was me performing it at a school concert in 92 (am a guy btw). I spent a long time trying to "channel" Siobhan performances. The best compliment I got was "...you looked demonic". I was at a Catholic School...
Oh my! Haha. Maybe it was a compliment? 🥴 - G
I remember siobhan saying she was that drunk trying to the play the devil she couldn't even remember actually doing it haha.
Very true! Her scenes were shot last so while waiting she helped herself to some vodka.
I'm sorry. But when Sioban appears as death, she'd get me everytime. I'm sick like that. What a classic track. Peace out.
Fun fact you've probably already been told, the one coming down the stairs had to wait a long time to be filmed and was drinking, by the time she was film she was totally drunk that's why it worked so well.
I also love all the queens horses which came out last year. The video is amazing too
Marcella Detroit’ voice is amazing and unbelievable🖤
One of my favourite songs of all time.
I have had the whole album since it came out.
I recommend
- Goodbye Cruel World
- The Trouble with Andre
Both are epic too! 🎉
Shakespears sister are back together now!
The video was inspired by the 50s sci-fi film, Cat-Women of the Moon, and the vocal effect is a flange phaser :)
I had completely forgotten this song and its video. Thanks for bringing it back.
Check out Hello Turn Your Radio On from the same album.
Love love love this song
Marcella Detroit is one of the great reinventions of Pop. You might also know her work with Eric Clapton, as she worked with him for 4 years in the 70's as Marcy Levy. She co-wrote Lay Down Sally, Wonderful Tonight and sang backup on many of his songs, like "The Core" off his Slowhand album. She just has an Incredible voice. Also the effect you talked about is called "Flange" of "Flanger". It was a Common effects pedal that guitar players used in the 60's - 80's before the days when electronics took over.
The acoustic version of this is one of my all-time favorites.
The album is called Hormonaly yours because they were both pregnant at the time of recording..... ❤️
I'm so glad that I have finally seen a video of music reviewer's reacting to Shakespears Sister's Stay! I was fortunate enough to meet them both at their reunion concert last year and OMG they were brilliant!!!!! Hormonally Yours came about for their vinyl name as both ladies were pregnant with their son's at the time of making the record! Fantastic video guys and thank you for reacting to the song!!!
Thank you, Ethan! Glad you enjoyed it 😁 - G
Masterpiece
Great song.
Best video song ever made Michael Jackson eat your heart out
"Stay", "Hello (Turn Your Radio On)" & "I Don't Care" are three of my favorite songs ever, all by these ladies. I spent ages as a kid learning the "rap" part in "I Don't Care" until I could do it perfectly.😂
Hi guys. Another big hit was 'You're History.' You'll love it
Run Silent, You're History, Goodbye Cruel World, Hello (Turn Your Radio On), I Don't Care are other great tracks from them. They are back together and making new music :)
Marcella Detroit's voice is amazing and when she hits those top notes! She's also a very good guitarist ,watch 'Turn your radio on' to see her play.
Bananarama were known as the hardest drinking ladies in pop.
Well they started off under sex pistols wings what else would you expect
Sian was married to Dave Stewart..............Simon says thanks...........Simon.......guess....... a bassist.........
@@wb9884 l am lost........d'you meañ Annie............l have no interest,...........iñ Dave, Stevie, ......it bores me...........l.was referring..to.Cure,.......singularly........obviously speaking at cross purposes.........a simple error.......
Much ado about nothing............
@@wb9884 don't get your point?
Love SS. Saw them live, they were awesome. fun fact, the one with the high voice (Marcella Detroit) co-wrote and sang back up on Lay Down Sally by Eric Clapton. Marcella left the band after this but Siobhan (from Bananarama) was married to Dave Stweart of Eurythmics. she recorded a few more albums. #3 (name of album) was awesome. they reunited last year. their video all the queens horses is epic. tells the story. since they had not spoke in 26 years and are now back together.
Amazing video good work guys
Shakespeares Sister have reunited and recorded a new album. But check out their other songs from the same album, "Harmonally Yours". Their new single, "When She Finds You" off their new album, "Ride Again" is also worth a listening to as well as, "All the Queen's Horses". Enjoy 🎶
That eye-roll, though
A classic now !
Goddamn, a life vs death song. Fighting over a soul with life prevailing…
The album title is the best 😂👌🏽
She said 'takes my breath away every time'. This implies that she's heard it before.
LIFE AND DEATH ITS ALWAYS HERE
They made another song called "Hello" (turn your radio on) another banging tune👍
Ironically, they were fighting off-screen at the same time as fighting on-screen and split up soon after this. They actually got together and re-launched last year, doing interviews and singing Stay on UK chat shows. The band's name is spelled 'Shakespear's Sister' without the last 'e': it was originally a typo on a sign, but Siobhan decided to keep it.
You know, I just knew I was going to mess that up. Lo and behold, I did. Fixed it now! -M
@@MikeandGinger At least you gave a wide swerve to trying to pronounce Siobhan's name...
Siobhan and Marcella was an odd pair and shows the power of opposites attraction through music that makes it so different. Stay aways reminds me of my best friends death at the same time this song came out. Siobhan gives you chills when she comes in. The fact that Marcella sang on some of the most iconic Clapton songs like lay down Sally and the core really is amazing to me
She co wrote it as well, Marcella on lay down Sally.
@@mattyball I know how much she wrote, yes her voice is iconic, my favorite is the core
Marcy Levy's voice is superb, but siobhan is so much better than her bananarama days, a wee bit of musical history guys, Marcy is credited with writing Eric Clapton song 'Lay Down Sally's, loved your reaction, cheerio from Glasgow.
It's Marcella Detroit.
Levy is her real name sweetie
@@shable1436 ok, but professionally she is known as Detroit.
Thank u love it
My senior year of high school. This song was huge ❤️
Funnily enough they got back together recently. Also Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame produced and co wrote this
Interesting song,...sounds good ,..vibrations....nice singing...
Marcella has some serious song writing chops , having worked with Clapton, Burt Bacharach, A Franklin , Belinda Carlisle and many , many more. Has done duets with Alice Cooper and Robin Gibb of the BeeGees.
I want that stunning artwork behind you please. It is beautiful!! ❤️
My sentiments exactly about Marcella singing.
I love this song
Marcella Dedtoit has the most amazing voice.
She appeared on a show called 'Pop Star to Opera Star' where she sang The Queen of the Night aria from The Magic Flute .. one of the hardest things to sing ever.
Just google Marcella Detroit - Queen of the Night
I remember this era...! The start of a new decade when 80's alternative was beginning to evolve become more mainstream.
Don't take my word for it, but I think this song is about addiction.
Marcella is portraying the addiction, telling its victim to fight to stay alive so they can continue being addicted. Siobhan portrays Death, who is taunting the victim. The victim can either die and join Death or stay alive and continue to be addicted. Either way, Death doesn't really care because it knows the victim will eventually be back.
I say that Marcella portrays addiction because of certain lines:
"You must only think of me
There can be no in-betweens"
"When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more"
Those lines especially seem alarming.
This song came out a few years before I was born but I've always adored it ❤
That’s definitely a plausible take. Very interesting - G
This song was produced/mixed by Chris Thomas, who also produced songs for the Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, Wings, Bryan Ferry, Elton John, INXS, Roxy Music, Rod Stewart, Sting and the Beatles.
It's a very underrated element of the song, the mixing and production are amazing. The beat, reverb, doubling that high/whistle note up etc, add so much. Like the vocalists are both great in their own right but it's also worth noting just how well this song was produced. So many things you perhaps don't even notice, just add so much.
Lovely voice...
If you try to go alone
Dont think I'll understand
STAY WITH ME
STAY WITH ME ...we can all relate to this .I hope ...
please please please do a reaction to one of their other songs "Hello (Turn Your Radio On)"! It's an absolute masterpiece
Just remember that this song was recorded long before autotune. :)
for 25 years they have had arguments together but they have eventually patched things up and they were on tour before covid happened so you never know.
As far as I could tell, they recently got back together and released some songs. All the Queens Horses is pretty good tbh
Yep, saw them live in Glasgow, Scotland late in 2019. I was a young child when this stuff came out, though always loved them. The gig was great, dreams do come true.
Marcy Levy vocals on this track is out of this world.
Iconic early '90s gothic ballad. Antithesis to Grunge and dance music of the time.
You missed the end where the 'Angel of Death' walks up the stairs.
I always thought of them as a proto version of Alisha's Attic, who you should definitely check out if you can!
What and underrated song and Death is pretty damn hot.
Just wanted to add to my previous post, but if you thought Shakespeares Sister were otherworldly all I can say to Enya is head & shoulders above that, she really is that special. I really look forward to you listening to her gorgeous voice at the earliest opportunity
Nice!!
Try one of their newer songs from last year - when She Funds You, All the Queen’s Horses, C Y Next Tuesday or Love is a Dangerous Game.
An air band competition, playing air instruments, imitating a vocal group that never plays instruments. Adorable…
Listen to Hello Hello a great song
Marcella Detroit is the woman with the whistle notes, the winner in "Stay". She has a brilliant album called "Jewel" with the main song "I believe". Marcella has an amazing voice

I'm a bit behind on this video. Love this reaction btw. This is a great song that gets lost in the background at times. Maybe for some fun and contrast...check out the cradle of filth cover of this song.
Love over death.
michel detroit did a clasical tvprograme in the usa
They are back again
@2:46 I was gonna say David Bowie waiting to be put to rest.
Cradle of Filth does a wonderful cover of this song
They have new music out btw
New ep by them came out 2019
love over death
The Angel of death is the one that was in Bananarama
canción ideal para la película el cadáver de la novia ,, Siobhan es la novia dark
They are together again. Shakespeares sister rides again. But do the same for hello turn your radio on please?
The evil one- just the way I've always envisaged a future wife!
Well yeah, though I suspect in the theme of the video, she's more a representation of Death than simply Evil. Still, if she's future wife material, I'm down for it, sign me up.
I think it was last year , i was watching the Orignal NIGHT MARE on ELM STREET with J ~ Depp , and sudenly my old radio turn on with this GREAT song ! and i could sea a vage lose conection between the two , . ; : . Have you watched AHHA forgotten the name of the Group But they did a BLACK and WHITE cartoon song of then self ' s TAKE ON ME i hope that the poor guy on the bed had ear muffler ' s or some ~ thing else OR MAY ~ BE they found a model guy who was deaf any ~ way
Without scrolling all the comments, I don't know if anyone's posted this before, but if not, I hope you enjoy the reunion of the inimitable Shakespears Sister xxx ruclips.net/video/MS22dT6u1L8/видео.html&ab_channel=ShakespearsSister

Next GHOST Stay ft. Patrick Wilson (Cover) 🤩🤩🤩🤩
You want more then listen to Marcella detroits album. Brilliant vocals
They got back together a couple years ago made more music and buried the hatchet
They fell out and didn't speak for over two decades. Catch 'All the Queens Horses' from 2019 when they reformed, sadly the virus has put an end to that for now. But the song and video is a wry take on their patching things up and getting back together. Odd to think they are in their 60's now.
I love the part where Marcella is tending to the guy laying on the pool table in the bar, just like in this video, and Siobhan just rolls her eyes as if she can't believe Marcella is up to that old trick again. lol
Ginger is special 🧚🏻♀️👀🥀
Thank you 😊 - G
Can i just ask what is the song at 0:07, does anyone know.
It’s this one

@@MikeandGinger Wow, that was quick, didn't think i'd get a reply, something about that 5 second segment hooked me straight away, Thanks for letting me know.
@@halloweenville1 our pleasure ✌🏻 - G
What about Shakespears Sister - Hello (Turn Your Radio On). Have you two allready listen to that one?
No. I haven’t heard that one 🤔 - G
@@MikeandGinger Well, it's even better in my opinion.
I would love to see your reaction to Long Time by the band Blondie
Is it "Death" or "Queen Mab"?
I always preferred the original Shocking Blue version of Venus.
I love this song ❤ try Morissette amon fly like a bird
Marcella Detroit is actually American
The other girl is actually Irish
