Video for Siouxsie and the Banshees song, "Kiss Them For Me."
Interesting info about this song from Wiki:
Produced by Stephen Hague, it was released in 1991 as the first single from the band's tenth studio album Superstition.
The song uses a sample of Schooly D's "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" as a background. Even with its positive sound, Siouxsie Sioux's cryptic lyrics are an ode to actress and sex icon Jayne Mansfield — using the actress' catchword "divoon", referring to her heart-shaped swimming pool and her love of champagne and parties, and to the grisly automobile accident which claimed her life in 1967. Kiss Them for Me was also the name of a 20th Century Fox motion picture made in 1957 starring Mansfield and Cary Grant.

marinarasays...this is just wierd personal fact that i have to share, but during my divorce i would sit depressed and watch this over and over
bleedmegoodsays...I spent 10 years having Siouxsie force-fed to me by my ex-wife. I hated...and I actually mean loathed and detested Siouxsie and would protest every time she would play the banshees or the creatures. Now it reminds me of simpler times...looking back I think that at some point during our relationship I came to like her, but I wasn't about to admit that after all the shit I had talked about her music. This is what was going through my mind even before I had read marinara's comment....just a weird instance of synchronicity I suppose...
Issykittysays...Sorry to dredge up bad memories. Was not my intention... or was it??
