英國創作巨星［凱特．布許］──抒情／藝術搖滾──測試丈夫忠誠的妻子──［Babooshka／祖母］

She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldnt have made a worse move

She sent him scented letters,
And he received them with a strange delight.
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears,
And how she was before the years flew by,
And how she was when she was beautiful.
She signed the letter

"All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"

She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go,
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito.
And when he laid eyes on her,
He got the feeling they had met before.
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady,
Capacity to give him all he needs,
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
He shouted out, "Im

All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"

１９８０年９月　２２歲的英國創作才女凱特．布許（Kate Bush）推出個人創作　也是首度正式製作的第三張專輯［Never for Ever］（上張專輯曾擔任助理製作）

登上冠軍　創下數項紀錄：

首位拿到英國專輯榜冠軍的本土女藝人

首位空降英國專輯榜冠軍的本土女藝人

首張登上英國榜冠軍的女藝人錄音室專輯（先前只有女歌手精選輯封后）

雖然廣獲好評　但銷售卻只拿到金唱片　成為凱特首張沒得到白金唱片的大碟

專輯共發行三首Top２０單曲

其中第二主打［Babooshka／祖母］在１９８０年６月便發行

這是一首抒情風格的藝術搖滾

布許以她尖細的嗓音敘述一名想測試丈夫忠誠的妻子

凱特說創作時她還不曉得　直到後來才知道歌名是俄羅斯文‘祖母’之意

［Babooshka］登上英國榜＃５　拿到銀唱片（＞２５萬張）　成為凱特第三首Top１０暢銷曲

銷售最好的是法國　雖然同樣拿到＃５　卻賣了５５萬張

國際表現亦佳：澳洲亞軍　挪威＃４　愛爾蘭＃５　紐西蘭＃８　德國＃１４　荷蘭＃１５　

MV則是凱許慣有的詭異風格：

一個是她穿折黑色緊身衣　戴著面紗　抱著一個超級大提琴跳舞

一個是大扮得性感冶豔［造型靈感可能來自雪兒（Cher）］熱舞

這是布許的抒情代表作之一
