Retro Video of the Week: "Stay" by Shakespears Sister

Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the release of British-American pop rock duo Shakespears Sister's second studio album, Hormonally Yours.  The group was comprised of former Bananarama member Siobhan Fahey and American singer Marcella Detroit (who co-wrote and sang backing vocals on Eric Clapton's 1977 hit "Lay Down Sally," when she was known as Marcy Levy).

Hormonally Yours was Shakespears Sister's highest-charting in the UK (#3) and US (#56), thanks to the massive international hit "Stay," co-written by Fahey, Detroit, and The Eurythmics' Dave Stewart.  The song topped the UK pop chart for eight weeks, went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, went to #1 on the pop chart in Ireland and Sweden, and reached the Top 10 on the pop charts in nine other countries.

The video is some sort of weird space-based death struggle, with Fahey and Detroit fighting over a pale man who is either in a coma or recently deceased.  It won the award for Best Video at the 1993 Brit Awards.
