  • It was about time someone did this.
    I actually wrote the lyrics for this video in 2008 back when "literal music videos" were a thing but never got around to making the actual recording.
    Better late than never, right? Literal music videos are still a thing, right?
    Music belongs to the amazing and talented Kate Bush, of course.

    As a long-time fan of the literal videos and Kate Bush, and having seen so many bad ones done, I figured there would be no way this would be any good. Kate's voice is too difficult to mimic. There isn't enough action in this video to describe. AND YOU NAILED IT! ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

      They are it is just those that make them may no longer be. A number of countries have changed their copyright laws to allow them as parodies, however it is too late for some like DaScott who just got sick and tired fighting the copyright claims. Some left YT and moved to other sites.

    Being a fan of 1950s and early 1960s with more than 3,000 records both Albums ( 33s ) and Singles ( 45s ) in my collection, this was one ( well original Kate Bushs 45 ) of no more than 10 records i had from 1970s.

    Long time fan of literal videos and this is one of the best. As for the outro, on her album "The Whole Story", Kate does a new recording of Wuthering Heights with yells and screams during the outro. Maybe you could work some lyrics into that. But if not, that's fine, too. Your commentary actually mocks the outro in a similar way as the whole concept is supposed to mock the video.
