I wish/ hope Skin reads this- no like needed- mate; you were great when I was a teen but as a grown man your voice and lyrics tie my heart in knots. You guys really are at the perfect time of life for a come back.
I'm ashamed to say that I forgot about Skunk Anansie, as soon as I seen Skin I remembered all of the songs that made my teenage hood. This song helped me through so much!
Why do I sense, benevolence You stand tall at my great expense Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down Why does your world keep burying Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down You pity me with your tasteless gestures Gratitude for kind But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down...
Took me a while to learn this bass line by ear because of its strange tuning and that. But I got it down and I was so happy when I could play it all the way through clean. Such a legendary song, the song of my teen years.
Big. big tune. Absolutely perfect. I always used to think about how cool a badass black woman singing in a metal band would be. Got it with this group and this song is them performing at the top of their game
Look up a band called Mother's finest to see another fine example of a hard rock band fronted by a black woman. That singer, Joyce 'Baby Jean' Kennedy has a voice very similar to Chaka Khan's.
Absolutely love this band, such awesome memories great to listen back, I'll be dragging out the cd's for many happy hours tractor driving. Just love the way she can sing so soft then knock your fucking ears off with all that power!! One of my favs next to SOAD.

+Michael Aper Well, Slipknot (my favorite band), Pro-Pain and Five Finger Death Punch are touring right now, but abroad. I'm hoping a leg of one of their tours comes to the US.

SKUNK ANANSIE - PARANOID & SUNBURNT Skunk Anansie are a British rock band whose members include Skin (lead vocals, guitar), Cass (bass, guitar, backing vocals), Ace (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Richardson (drums and percussion). Skunk Anansie formed in 1994, disbanded in 2001 and reformed in 2009. The name "Skunk Anansie" is taken from Akan folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier". They have released six studio albums: Paranoid & Sunburnt (1995), Stoosh (1996), Post Orgasmic Chill (1999), Wonderlustre (2010), Black Traffic (2012) and Anarchytecture (2016); one compilation album, Smashes and Trashes (2009); and several hit singles, including "Charity", "Hedonism", "Selling Jesus" and "Weak". They are often grouped as part of the Britrock movement, as opposed to the contemporary Britpop of their early years due to their overall harder sound. The band, in 2004, was named as one of the most successful UK chart acts between 1952 and 2003 by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, with a total of 142 weeks on both the singles and album charts ranking them at No. 491. Skunk Anansie have sold 5 million records. Influences: Skin has described Skunk Anansie as a "clit-rock" group, which Allmusic clarifies as "an amalgam of heavy metal and black feminist rage". Members Skin and Ace have mentioned the Sex Pistols, Blondie, dub, reggae, electronica, hip-hop and world music as significant influences. Other media: The band also covered The Stooges' song "Search and Destroy" specifically for the soundtrack of Zack Snyder's film Sucker Punch, released on 25 March 2011. The soundtrack also includes a Skunk Anansie remix of the song "Army of Me" by Björk. Band members: Deborah "Skin" Dyer - lead vocals, guitar, theremin, piano, keyboards (1994-2001; 2009-present), Martin "Ace" Kent - guitar, backing vocals (1994-2001; 2009-present), Richard "Cass" Lewis - bass, guitar, backing vocals (1994-2001; 2009-present), Mark Richardson - drums, percussion, backing vocals (1995-2001; 2009-present), Former members: Robbie France - drums, percussion (1994-1995; died 2012), Touring members: Erika Footman - keyboards, backing vocals. And I have the great, great honor of having five Skunk Anansie CD-albums in my discography, led by the charismatic vocalist and songwriter, Skin. Therefore, I have a unit of the CD-Album PARANOID & SUNBURNT (1995), a unit of the second studio CD-Album, and perhaps, their greatest commercial success, STOOSH (1996), I also have the third studio CD-Album, my favourite, POST ORGASMIC CHILL (1999), two units. And finally, the CD-Album of the greatest hits collection, SMASHES AND TRASHES, released in 2009, which includes three new songs and two live acoustic songs. Altogether there are five CD-albums, including the second copy of the CD-Album POST ORGASMIC CHILL (1999). Paranoid & Sunburnt is the debut studio album by British rock band Skunk Anansie, first released in 1995 via One Little Indian Records. It was re-released in 2005 with a DVD featuring the videos to the singles. This album was recorded with the band's original drummer, Robbie France, but he is not featured on the cover. The album, featuring a mix of controversial protest songs (mainly about politics and religion), peaked at number 8 in the UK Albums Chart. Singles: Five singles were taken from Paranoid & Sunburnt, four of which were commercially released. Single: "Little Baby Swastikkka" was the first release from the album. It was not a commercial release, however. It was a radio single and only 2,000 copies were pressed. "Selling Jesus" was the first commercial single release from the album. Released in March 1995, it peaked at No. 46 in the UK Singles Chart. It also appeared on the Strange Days soundtrack. "I Can Dream" was the follow-up single, released in June 1995, and charted at No. 41. "Charity" was the third single, released in August 1995, and charted at No. 40. It was re-released in 1996 (see below). "Weak" was the fourth single, released in January 1996, and charted at No. 20. "Charity" was re-released in April 1996 and its peak chart position was higher than the original release. It peaked at No. 20.

One day, I would like to see Skin and Anouk in a rock duet.....the most two beautiful rock voices in the world...god, can you hear me ??????????¿?????????????????????????!!!!!!????????
.der part wo die gitarre "WHII WHII WHII" macht ... gefällt mir beinahe am besten ...einfach nur geil :P *es is 3 uhr am morgen .. anders gehts nich" .
I am Michael Matthias Frohn Mühlstroh und Jesus Christus!!! Overwehlming und Wunderschön und Wunderbar!!! ❤😂❤❤!!! ❤❤😂❤!!! Make my day!!! ❤❤❤😂!!! 😂❤❤❤!!! Thank you for this music and song and masterpiece and diamond and brilliant!!!
This is one of my favourite songs from all time *ever*, but damn... This track in particular has such a *critical* problem: The sound is in MONO... :( No excuses for such decision... :)
Born in 1979, I was 17 years old when this came out, Gen X rules.
Dec 80 for me. Love it x
same do i) still at that times
It was a very creative and interesting time to be growing up.
i was 15, born in 80, but my first video that i pay attention was Brazen. good times.
im 17 rn as i discovered skunk anansie, actually mum told me about this band and damn i’m feeling it
Another Skunk Anansie classic! Released Over 25 years ago & still sounds so damn good!
Easily one of the finest bands to have emerged from the 1990s. Utterly brilliant! 👍👍💕
I wish/ hope Skin reads this- no like needed- mate; you were great when I was a teen but as a grown man your voice and lyrics tie my heart in knots. You guys really are at the perfect time of life for a come back.
I'm ashamed to say that I forgot about Skunk Anansie, as soon as I seen Skin I remembered all of the songs that made my teenage hood. This song helped me through so much!
MTV used to play Skunk Anansie around the clock back in the 90s. And yes: I am not kidding 2000s kids. :P
I remember it well 👍
when MTV actually was all about music.. GOOD music
Nick Kociak *face palm!!!!*
(smh)
Bram25 one of the only reasons I watched it in the 90s
Matti Heikki Pettersson ahmen to that
first skunk anansie song I ever heard and DAMN its still amazing now, 17 years later!
Now 25....😳
A song from the bottom of the soul.The best of skunk anansie,and so unknown and so beautifull
Why do I sense, benevolence
You stand tall at my great expense
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
Why does your world keep burying
Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been
Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
You pity me with your tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
Ambivolence

That singer, Joyce 'Baby Jean' Kennedy has a voice very similar to Chaka Khan's.
I wouldn't call Skunk Anansie metal, bug I get your point. Skunk Anansie and Guano Apes were such good bands in late 90's.
Absolutely love this band, such awesome memories great to listen back, I'll be dragging out the cd's for many happy hours tractor driving. Just love the way she can sing so soft then knock your fucking ears off with all that power!! One of my favs next to SOAD.
Yes
Such an awesome song. This group is so cohesive at times it sounds like they're one soul
Gotta love skin... she is just electric! Wish the band will visit Cape Town again and rock our socks off like the last time!
My absolute girl crush in the 90's ❤️😍
This video really showed me how old I am now... this was the first song that make me falling love with this band...
UK rocks 4 real
One of the greatest songs ever
oh my , lovely 90' I miss you so much !!!
Talking thru song is great to be actively saying g goodbye with a smile to someone who only is about themselves ur heart lon g gone
To be 17 again! I remember thinking to myself back in 1995 what a creative time i lived in.
That voice

"Charity"
Released: 21 August 1995
Why do I sense, benevolence
You stand tall at my great expense
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
Why does your world keep burying
Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been
Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
Oh, keeping me down
You pity me with your tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
I don't want your charity, oh charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
I don't want your, don't want your, don't want your charity
Keeping me down
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down, down
Keeping me down, down, down
Your charity, it's keeping me
Keeping me down

I adore the way in which Deborah pronounces "Charity", maybe this is an absurd, but she reminds me in these moments a baby...
the video dont need to many effects! her face is an original and amazing efect on us!
My first car volume high born 1977 19y old
If there is a song that will continue to make me vibrate and shout my hatred for what I agreed others to do to me ;o)))
That was back when artists were still making great music. Sigh...
