The FineArt of Playing with The Bass
Kate Bush - Babooshka, feat. John Giblin on bass
Ah yes, the one where she bumps the double-bass with her hips in the video. Typical of the sort of complex storytelling that Kate is prone to, about a woman who gives her wandering-eye husband some lame little letter-writing litmus test. You keep thinking this is one of Kate’s lesser songs, then you get caught singing “Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka, ya ya!” at the salad bar in the cafeteria at lunch by your co-workers. Probably spawned thousands of aspiring, misguided fretless bass players in the early 80s.
