Running Up That Fucking Hill, Again!

Posted on by

Is, of course, a song by Kate Bush. Now this cunting is not aimed at Kate. I admire her and always have done.

The song is a good one too. However, I am sick to death of hearing it.

Every radio station – every single one – keeps playing this song. As if it’s the only record that Kate ever made. This is obviously down to that overidealised faux eighties dogmuck Stranger Things featuring the song.

The fact that sundry septics and millennials thought Kate Bush was a ‘new discovery’ and an ‘up and coming singer’ was hilarious enough. But British media is also acting like it is the only thing that Kate has ever done. Do they play Army Dreamers? Breathing? Sat In Your Lap? Or her Number One, Wuthering Heights? No,the cunts play Running Up That Hill . All the time, every time.

I love her as an artist (and for other reasons). But clueless knobheads should know that there is more to her than just one song.

And here is the lovely lady in her pomp with another song…

  1. Didn’t that kiddie-troubler Rolf Harris play the didgeridoo on Dreaming? I recall reading that Kate subsequently re-recorded the track, sans Harris, upon his conviction.

    Good cunting, but shortly before his death Harris confessed that the favourite track of his was not Running up that Hill, no he loved The Man With The Child in his Eyes.

    Boom tish.

    • He appeared on a couple of tracks on her 2005 album as he was a friend. Stephen Fry has also recorded with her. Kate Bush also raved about Theresa “Hunchback or Remoaner Dam” May.

      Great artist, incredibly sexy, but not terribly discerning with people.

  3. True story, I lived around the corner from st Joseph’s convent school where Kate attended. One of the nuns used to accompany a few of the girls at Christmas when they came round carol singing. One year she said: Kate dear come and stand at the front. I was in awe of her beautiful hair, and of course her voice was stunning.

  4. The arrival of radio for wimminz, the dreadful Heart FM for example, has made this problem worse.
    A constant loop of ABBA, Bonnie Tyler, Bruno fucking Mars and just about every soppy wimminz vocalist you can think of.
    And having seen it’s relative success, Radio 2 bosses seem intent on steering their station in the same direction.
    More worrying though, is what it says about the average modern wimminz.
    They can’t get enough of it.

    • Radio 2 are clueless. the average listener age is 55. They want to shift to women in their late thirties to late forties -‘moody mummies’ or whatever the fuck the marketing twats label them – a market already covered by about 3 commercial stations.

  5. Wonderful Kate is entirely responsible for my first ever real boner, aged about 11.
    Watching her in that gold bikini thing in the video for ‘Babooshka’…holy shit!
    And if you watch the video on Youtube, you can pretty much make out a hint of lippage peeping from her pants during the chorus…

  6. She must have made a fortune just from poster sales.
    The problem is the radio stations playlists. Do they get the songs cheaper if they only buy one from an artist?
    Maybe the same as Freeview showing the same films over and over again.

  8. The track “ This woman’s work” still has the ability to make a 54yr old right wing gammon get a bit emotional. What a talent.

    • I had some cunt cold-call me once from the NSPCC scrounging for a donation. I said “I’ll make a donation of £50 if you can tell me who’s singing the song in your commercial?” Thinking it would be an easy win for him I told him I’d double it if he also gave me the name of the song! Daft cunt couldn’t name either! Actually, I fucking hate kids anyway, so win win, for me!

  9. Kate’s bush is a well trodden path, the same one Jack and Jill were forever up and down. Just repeating what a lot may be thinking. Come, come, come.

    • That’s an urban myth, Dave Gilmour heard some tracks she’d recorded as Kate knew someone in the industry who’d worked with him. Said person then played the tracks to Gilmour who got her some recording studio time and her subsequent deal. I love Kate and her music, she’s ace

  12. Nice hair, but her face looks a bit móng to me.
    Perhaps her parents were cousins.

    Voice like a cat getting a kicking.

    I would like to spunk on Debbie Harry’s face.

    • How dare you!!!

      Haven’t you got a donkey to go milk instead of disrespecting one of our Greatest female artists?

      Some people 🙄

      • MNC.

        I put her in the same league as the other nut job, Annie Lennox.

        Dressing wierd and singing in a daft, affected voice.

        Neither of them get any time on the Cunter grama phone.

      • Artie@

        Annie Lennox I’ve never liked.
        Possibly a man,
        Sort of a musical Yootha Joyce.

        Bet not even Tommy Cuntengines had a wank over Annie Lennox?

  13. Nostalgia at play. I remember seeing her on a local news program before she became famous, I think she was 17 or 18. She dared to be different and she’s got that air of British eccentricity.

    I don’t dislike her but I’m not a fan either, I do like don’t give up with Peter Gabriel. I think many performers get hung on the cross of a particular song or part they play. Allegedly Robert Plant detests Stairway to Heaven, Kurt Cobain hated Smells like teen spirit.

    Other artists are grateful for having a sing that’s so deeply embedded in popular culture.

    Running up that hill is a good song and it encapsulates her essence, it probably gained her a lot of fans who’d otherwise of passed her by.

  14. It was overused as hell within series 4 of Stranger Things. I don’t remember being a kid in the late eighties-early nineties and just having one song that I listened to over and over again.

    Stranger Things is okay, but massively overrated. A lot of British kids think eighties Britain was like eighties America. Not at all.
    The economy didn’t really recover until I’d started school in 86-87. My parents struggled to get a house with the mortgage rates being through the roof. huge numbers of men were laid off from various industries.

    I don’t know where the Gen Z fans of Stranger Fans get their ideas we were all dancing to Cyndi Lauper in the latest shopping mall and going to school in leather jackets.

    No, I went to my nan’s weekends because both parents were working to pay for everything. I’m very lucky my Grandad owned a farm and had cousins nearby as well. I played with toys from the 1960s and 70s, a box of them from when my uncle was a kid.

  15. ‘Under Ice’ is the (dark) cherry on top of the cake for I.
    There was a girl at school who resembled her, only taller, us boys did fumble and mumble in her presence.
    Good day cunters all.
    * I never much liked the nom title track in the first place and ‘Army Dreamers’ would be a suitable epitaph for the latest conscription bollocks.

  18. This song is from her album Hounds of Love. Good, but not great IMO. Her follow up, The Sensual World, is way better – again, IMO.

    If anyone’s interested, a brilliant band called Desperate Journalist slightly nicked the drum pattern off Running Up That Hill for their song Armageddon. It’s an excellent song. Check it out here:

    • I can’t really remember much about the 80s but then I was about 7/8 at the oldest and some things are like hazy snapshots of things. I can remember going to places like C&A with my mum and buying cassette tapes from Woolworths with my pocket money that I’d saved up. Some of the music stands out and going to watch Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989.

      The only other thing that really stands out is my parents splitting up and the events leading up to it. Standing quietly at the top of the stairs, hearing my parents arguing at night, when I should have been in bed. Worrying about it and not really understanding what was going on.😐

      Oh well, can’t change it now and things are better than they were back then.

      • I think it was the same year as you CP.

        I also remember The Monster Squad but didn’t see until about 1991. Can only remember kids in the playground repeating the infamous line “wolfman’s got nards”

        I was a Goonies fan and Big Trouble in Little China.
        Indeed Mr Burton.

  20. Those horrible ‘cool to be a geek’ 80s things like Stranger Things are totally idealised bollocks about the 80s. They are also revisionist crap. Making out American 80s kids were cool and listened to Kate Bush and Joy Division. Most of them never heard of them. Neither act cracked the USA charts, and they weren’t on MTV either.

    • When people go on about Stranger Things, I recommend they watch the actual films of that era that inspired it, such as Flight of the Navigator, Explorers or the lesser known The Monster Squad, all were a lot more fun than pretending the eighties was woke.

      Never liked The Goonies or Never-ending Story though, and feel no nostalgia for either.
