Released as a single on June 23, 1980 it spent 10 weeks in the UK chart, peaking at number five. The song chronicles a wife's desire to test her husband's loyalty. To do so, she takes on the nom de plume of Babooshka and writes to her husband in the guise of a young, seductive woman -- something which she fears is the opposite of how her husband currently sees her (Hence the barbed lines: "Just like his wife before she freezed on him / Just like his wife when she was beautiful...").<br /> <br /> The trap is set when, in her bitterness and paranoia, Babooshka arranges to meet with her husband, who is attracted to the character that reminds him of his wife in earlier times. She thereby ruins the relationship due to her paranoia, according to Kate Bush's 1980 interview [1] with the Australian TV series Countdown.<br /> berticus (http://80s.videosift.com/member/berticus)80s British Femme Music http://80s.videosift.com/video/Kate-Bush-Babooshka http://80s.videosift.com/video/Kate-Bush-Babooshka Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:55:16 -0700 http://80s.videosift.com/video/Guy-builds-his-own-video-game-arcade-I-want-to-go-there <img src="http://static1.videosift.com/thumbs/g/uy/Guy_builds_his_own_video_game_arcade_I_want_to_go_there.jpg" /><br />(20 votes - 13 comments - 891 views)<br />Damn, wish I had the money to do something like this.<br /> <br /> More information is available at his site, including the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.peterhirschberg.com/arcade/games.htm">list of games</a> he has.<br /> berticus (http://80s.videosift.com/member/berticus)80s Geek Videogames http://80s.videosift.com/video/Guy-builds-his-own-video-game-arcade-I-want-to-go-there http://80s.videosift.com/video/Guy-builds-his-own-video-game-arcade-I-want-to-go-there Fri, 08 Feb 2008 03:52:51 -0800 http://80s.videosift.com/video/The-Smiths-Please-please-please-let-me-get-what-I-want <img src="http://static1.videosift.com/thumbs/t/he/The_Smiths_Please_please_please_let_me_get_what_I_want.jpg" /><br />(16 votes - 5 comments - 886 views)<br />Fan vid for The Smiths track Please please please let me get what I want.<br /> <br /> Sifted 'cause I heard it on the Extras xmas special, yay!<br /> <br /> Don't forget the instrumental version from Ferris Bueller's day off:<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.videosift.com/video/Ferris-Buellers-Day-Off-art-scene">http://www.videosift.com/video/Ferris-Buellers-Day-Off-art-scene</a><br /> berticus (http://80s.videosift.com/member/berticus)80s British Music Vintage http://80s.videosift.com/video/The-Smiths-Please-please-please-let-me-get-what-I-want http://80s.videosift.com/video/The-Smiths-Please-please-please-let-me-get-what-I-want Tue, 08 Jan 2008 23:59:58 -0800 http://80s.videosift.com/video/Kate-Bush-This-Womans-Work-1 <img src="http://static1.videosift.com/videosift/i/hosts/dailymotion.gif" /><br />(17 votes - 7 comments - 1000 views)<br />This song was used in the Extras Christmas special.
