Kate

Kate Bush christmas special from the iPlayer, anyone?

I don't have the time to watch it all tonight, downloading for later, but it starts with Violin, performed by Kate, in a sparkly gothical wing'd avenger costume, dancing the dirty chicken. With dancing violins in pink legwarmers.

Sing it:

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.

(... um, B.Vs?)

I watched this last night, while moderately drunk. The violins seemed to be behaving inappropriately, and from there it just got stranger. 10/10 would boggle again.

BEST THING EVER ON iPLAYER EVER.

Thank you atommickbrane.

If I was head of the BBC I'd have a dedicated Kate channel.

Incidentally, watched this myself last night and found myself ambushed by unexpected emotion during the domestic strife duet with Pete Gabriel!

Is this what BBC four showed a few weeks ago (a repeat of some compiled song and dance numbers she did for the beeb in the late 70s I'm guessing)?
