S03E06 – The Wedding List

We hope you can give the hunt up for another episode of Strange Phenomena! Because it’s here! The Wedding List is the first song on Side B of Never For Ever, and what a way to start that side! We’ve gone from the ethereal Egypt to one of the most rocking songs that Kate has ever done. Only Kate! A classic revenge tale of a widowed bride seeking vengeance on the man who killed her husband on their wedding day, The Wedding List was inspired by the François Truffaut movie The Bride Wore Black (itself the inspiration for the Kill Bill movies). On hand to discuss this song is Zoey P, a huge film buff and fan of this song. In this episode, we talk about the lyrics (of course!), speculate about who Rudi is, what a cherootie might be, and our favorite Kate vocal moments! Oh and of course, we talk about the live performances too: Kate’s 1979 Christmas special performance, and her live rendition in 1982 with an all-star band at the Prince’s Trust charity event, a performance that’s famous for more than just hearing her sing live! Lots of talk about in this episode!
