Kate Bush - The Wedding List (1979 Xmas Special)
Kate performs "The Wedding List" on the 1979 Christmas special.
Lyrics:
No, I'll never give the hunt up,
And I won't muck it up.
Somehow this was it, I knew.
Maybe fate wants you dead, too:
We've come together in the very same room,
And I'm coming for you!
Did you think I'd ever let you
Get away with it, huh?
He swooned in warm maroon.
There's gas in your barrel, and I'm flooded with Doom.
You've made a wake of our honeymoon,
And I'm coming for you!"
"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime:
'Newlyweds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride!
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"
("She sure put him on the--")
I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.
Now, as I'm coming for you,
All I see is Rudi.
I die with him, again and again.
And I'll feel good in my revenge.
I'm gonna fill your head with lead
And I'm coming for you!
And when it's all over you'll roll over
The butt of my gun:
One in your belly, and one for Rudi.
You got what you gave by the heel of my bootie.
Bang-bang--Out! like an old cherootie,
And I'm coming for you!
"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime:
'Newlyweds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride!
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"
("She sure put him on the--")
I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.
"After she shot the guy,
She committed suicide.
I'm coming, Rudi!
"And later, when they analysed,
They found a little one inside.
I'm coming, coming, coming, honey!
"It must have been Rudi's child."
I shot him!
"Never mind, she got the guy."
He hit the ground, Rudi!
"An eye for an eye."
Ashes to ashes...
"Eye for an eye."
Rudi!

Kate founded and went further with the artist-performer-entertainer concept. She's the great mind behind the format we know and love artists like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Marina and others by. She was the first to mesh different art areas and create a complex unity for her creative content.
Anybody else notice that Kate's brother Paddy plays both the gunman and the preacher? Interesting.

Her body language in this piece with the silhouette cast by her fringe really takes it to a new level with a sprinkle of magical realism. Truly a masterful study. Good song as well, it's crazy how she has that much vocal capacity, there's so much tone. She has such a strong lyric but she really explores the tone and feeling emotion: "I die with him, again and again/And I'll feel good in my revenge" and "You've made a wake of our honeymoon". It really is art and philosophy and storytelling while still being entertainment.
The beautiful thing about Kate is that she can be "crazy" without having to dye her hair funny colors or wear outlandish outfits. She never needed gimmicks to call attention to herself. She let her songs & dancing do the talking.

Kate is a genius with her composition... music, lyrics and the way she moves in time to her music, not to mention a wonderful and eccentric actress. What a heroine!
The most beautiful singer ever.
The rhythmic twitching at 3:29 is a nice touch.
I understand the lyrics a lot more after watching this!
Do they make music like this today? Is there art like this today? Are there any singers, songwriters or performers like her today? Kate Bush is a 1 in a 1,000,000,000,000 people. Love you, Kate 😍😍😍😍😍

Kate Bush delivers an experience with her art that goes beyond music and delves into the theatrical, poetry and dance realms. She is definitely one of a kind and I miss the originality and passion of performances like hers - way more refined that the cheap, crass, scoptophilia we get nowadays - that are also profoundly erotic, as arousing as they are humorous. This one is one of her finest examples, with a script and delivery reminiscent of Tarantino, she goes all in her performance with an unforgettable tune and lyrics. Some of the poses and frames are so aesthetically engaging that they could become stills or magnificent drawings . Love it
Cuando Tarantino y Uma Thurman estaban pensando en ordeñar la vaca Kate Bush ya volvía con el cántaro lleno.
"And when it's all over you'll roll over The butt of my gun: One in your belly, and one for Rudi. You got what you gave by the heel of my bootie. Bang-bang--Out! like an old cherootie, And I'm coming for you!" I love her 'violence' in this song. Even though Kate Bush sound like she is a blood-thirsty criminal, she makes the song funny with her acting and her killing ideas. Any female artist nowadays that make songs like this? No. I wish there was more singers like Kate Bush today.

Still an amazing performance after all these years , it never gets boring as nothing does for our Kate, she's a complete all round singer, artist and performer, and all round bonkers. Amazing talent.
This performance was so amazing! Great song and she's incredible in general but this performance really stands out to me as my favorite.
"A Kate Bush Christmas special without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair."
This song was recorded in my mind since my early childhood, and I spent years trying to know who was the singer and what was the song !! All what I know was the music and that there was a bride and dead groom, with no lyrics, no song title, and no singer name! Even playing it on a keyboard didn't make anyone knows what was it! I'm SO THANKFUL to finally find it today! It was in my head for more than 30 years, searching for it was so difficult! So beautiful! Thank you! Mercy! You have no idea :)

@Symphonyofflowers - and there are the nuances that only Kate can give to the song, as well. The quasi-sexual overtones of the bride finally coming for her groom, the inversion of the wedding vows in the invocation of the funeral rites (ashes to ashes)....she's so intensely talented.
Genius. Who else could put all this into a pop song?
She is totally insane in the best possible way. [2]
She is the best...
Nobody else mixes music and theater in a show as Kate does. She is great !!
Always theatrical our brilliant and beautiful Kate.
2:01 that verse is so satisfying
Beautifully quirkey.
Best angry song
I always thought she was the killer. Now I realize the end was about revenge and suicide to join her groom in the afterlife. That's a 30+ year old question answered.

The number of times as a teenager I stood in a record shop with 'The Kick Inside' in my hands. I'd bought the 'Wuthering Heights' single, but I never bought the album. As a working class lad from Salford, it just didn't seem macho to do so. However, my younger brother did become a very big fan of hers, probably thanks to me.
Love the wedding dress
Kate Bush is the greatest singer, songwriter, performer, dancer, and artist all in one combined!!! I love this video!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Kill Bill was inspired by an old Japanese movie, Lady Snowblood. And Meiko Kaji, the leading actress there is also the singer of the song "Urami bushi", used in Kill Bill :)

Been on a Kate Bush kick for about three hours now.. I love her and think this is about the most freaky thing. I laughed through most of it. To have put this song and the production together 30 years ago is amazing, and I am sure very controversial
I love how almost every single song on Never for ever got a Music video
