The Kate Bush Singles Rate: The Top 20 Countdown (Tonight at 20:45 GMT)

[ButterTart]

Flashing a bit of wimple for the lads

 

[Tisch]

Lowest score: 5 (funky)

I think that's grounds enough to ban funky now isn't it?

 

[GNL]

She liked setting fire to her video backdrops in the 90s, didn't she?

 

[Iguana]

Is this a SULTRY GEM?

 

[COB]

The Director's Cut version of this with the ACTUAL lines from Ulysses is nowhere near as good as this, I'm sorry.

 

[RJN]

That you've solidified your place in the next karaoke competition! And backing out is not allowed x

Me and my upright bass are in

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Bagpipes!

Why screech yourself when a sheep's bladder can do it for you?

10/10

 

[GNL]

Is this a SULTRY GEM?

Mmmm, yes.

 

[Iguana]

The Director's Cut version of this with the ACTUAL lines from Ulysses is nowhere near as good as this, I'm sorry.

Agreed. She wrote it BETTER than James Joyce

 

[Soldi]

Eugh I need to install ad blocker. Kate keeps getting disrupted by a JIMMY SAVILLE documentary.

We’ve already had The Dreaming so NO MORE PAEDOS PLEASE

 

[RJN]

I'm sorry but I don't really get The Sensual World. Maybe its a grower

 

[Soldi]

6. Moments of Pleasure (1993) from The Red Shoes

Average score: 9.375
Highest score: 11 (Soldi, wurst)
Lowest score: 4 (funky you’re getting on my nerves now)

This is my favourite

 

[Tisch]

@ZenGiraffe not quite a song about getting done rugged on the floor of a club, but she does mention her BREASTS on this one!

 

[Iguana]

Bagpipes!

Why screech yourself when a sheep's bladder can do it for you?

10/10

I'm so proud!

 

[Soldi]

The false start with The Red Shoes

 

[GNL]

I put Moments of Pleasure on when I need a GOOD CRY.

Not the video version obvi.

 

[Tisch]

Me and my upright bass are in

HOT!

 

[Soldi]

Get ready for the BEST LYRIC FROM ANY SONG EVER

 

[Iguana]

I love this simple video but it always makes me DIZZY

 

[Iguana]

Get ready for the BEST LYRIC FROM ANY SONG EVER

"The case of George The Wipe"?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The Am Dram vibes of The line, the cross, and the curve are doing it for me.

 

[Soldi]

"The case of George The Wipe"?

This sense of humour of yours

 

[Tisch]

Moments of Pleasure

 

[Iguana]

The Am Dram vibes of The line, the cross, and the curve are doing it for me.

In 2005 she called it "absolute bollocks" or something similar

 

[Soldi]

Moments of Pleasure

Billy in DOMESTIC TERRORIST SHOCKER

 

[ButterTart]

What a stunner this one is. She really smashed it out of the park in the 90s.

 

[Soldi]

And I can hear my mother saying, every old sock meets and old shoe

 

[Iguana]

What a stunner this one is. She really smashed it out of the park in the 90s.

(apart from the last 7 years of the 90s which she took off)

 

[Iguana]

And I can hear my mother saying, every old sock meets and old shoe

Ain't that a great saying?

 

[Tisch]

Sorry to be NEGATIVE. But she totally ruined this on Director's Cut. She just removed the chorus. WHY.

She also deleted Maureen. Was she subsequently found out to be a nonce? WHO KNOWS?

Anyway this version is just so beautiful. I'm sad now.

 

[Soldi]

Poor loves gonna give herself vertigo at this rate

 

[Soldi]

Ain't that a great saying?

Isn’t it JUST!

 

[ButterTart]

(apart from the last 7 years of the 90s which she took off)

She was knackered from absolutely beasting the first three.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I've really tried to listen to the lyrics. But it hasn't went well. I feel they are essential for enjoying these slower ones.

It's pretty hard to enunciate a screech I suppose.

3/10

PISS OFF BACK TO DONCASTER WILDLIFE PARK YOU EVIL CUNT

 

[RJN]

I like Moments of Pleasure but it definitely needs more plays to really get it

 

[Iguana]

I've really tried to listen to the lyrics. But it hasn't went well. I feel they are essential for enjoying these slower ones.

It's pretty hard to enunciate a screech I suppose.

3/10

Oh DEAR

Hey there Zen

*Has cry*

 

[Iguana]
