Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

[Tisch]

TW: Rita Ora committing murder live on stage

 

[straightorbroken]

Only worse version would be Jessie J singing it to people on a plane.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

(In the key of Jessie J)
No no no no no no no no no

 

[Mike(y) W]

WTF was that?!?

 

[Iguana]

It's not a long chorus, at least get the words right

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Rita Ora is a National distreasure

 

[Pipo]

she used to have a nice voice and a nice collection of BOPS, what happened? Taika ruined her

 

[straightorbroken]

Never Let You Down was major.

It was also a major lie evidently.

TW: Rita Ora committing murder live on stage

I mean say what you will about Rita Ora, but at least she doesn't Screech all over her songs

 

[Mike(y) W]

I think I'd be slightly more impressed with Rita and all of these other singers adding in 'Running Up That Hill' or covering Kate if they'd done it before the resurgence. That would seem more like a genuine tribute than "Let's chuck in a few bars from the biggest hit of the Summer" in order to cash in a bit, but then what would I know about these things.

 

[COB]

No, she does it over other peoples' better songs instead

 

[GinAg (39)]

At #91, it's 50th week on the chart.

 

[Iguana]

@COB introduced me to this and I'm still laughing

 

[COB]

LOVE HER

 

[Mike(y) W]

A slight climb to number 86 and notching up 51 chart weeks.

It's about to hit 1B streams on Spotify.

 

[Iguana]

The summer of Kate Bush followed by the summer of Padam. What a world!

 

[jyxz]

She’s done it

 

[lolly]

How many was it on prior to Stranger Things?

 

[Funky]

About 100m I think?

 

[lolly]

About 100m I think?

Yes, I think you're right. Wuthering Heights is currently on 166m, and I seem to recall they were reasonably close before it all took off last year. And presumably Wuthering Heights (and the whole of her back catalogue) has had a nice boost.

 

[Funky]

If that is the case, then 900m in a year is Harry Styles / Taylor Swift levels of crazy.

That’s amazing.

Only Kate would think of TRIBUTARIES

'ONE BILLION STREAMS FOR R.U.T.H' | Kate Bush

A billion streams! I have an image of a river that suddenly floods and becomes many, many tributaries - a billion streams - on their way to the sea. Each one of these streams is one of you…

Each one of these streams is one of you…​

No one tell her that 500 million of them were just me
