Lene Lovich - My Lucky Number
Lovich was born in Detroit, Michigan to a British mother and a Serbian father, but after her father became mentally unstable her mother took her and her three siblings to live in Hull, England. Lovich met the guitarist/songwriter Les Chappell, who became her longtime collaborator, when they were teenagers. In the Autumn of 1968, they went to London, England to attend art school. It was there that Lovich first tied her hair into the plaits that later became a visual trademark, though at first she did it to keep her hair out of the clay when studying sculpture.
Kate Bush - Babooshka
"Babooshka" is a song by British singer Kate Bush, taken from her album Never for Ever. Released as a single on July 5, 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...").
The trap is set when, in her bitterness and paranoia, 'Babooshka' arranges to meet with her husband, thereby snaring him in his own treachery -- without, it seems, the slightest pangs of conscience regarding her own involvement in the entrapment. From Bush's mime in the video, one might assume that, if her husband appears at the rendez-vous point, she will be waiting to kill him for his ironic infidelity.
