The Utterly Unique Kate Bush on Three Tune Tuesday 210
Hello music lovers and Hello hivers!
It's Tuesday, and you know what that means – time to share some tunes for the brilliant #threetunetuesday initiative started by @ablaze!
This week we are hearing from a quite wonderful and fluffing unique English lady who I had a huge crush on as a kid.
Kate Bush has released 10 studio albums. She also had 2 live albums and 2 compilation albums and she is fluffing awesome.
The Utterly Unique Kate Bush
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
@ablaze started #ttt 210 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post Four Years of Three Tune Tuesday - Week 209 - win 6 HBI

Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
Where to start!
Well I was doing one of the exercise machines at the gym last night, when on popped Babooshka onto my spotify. Immediately I thought yep time for some Kate Bush.
She is a pretty unique package I think. She has a wonderful voice with a heck of a range, was very theatrical.
She would tell you stories in her songs and she was a songwriter too.
Have a listen and I am sure you will be singing along with some of them!
Unfortunately I have never seen her live, probably because I only think she toured once and was never a festival performer.
So today we have three tunes from Kate Bush!
Tune 1 ~ Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights was released as a single on January 20th 1978. It was actually her debut tune!
It topped the UK charts for 4 weeks and what a way to announce yourself to the world!
The album it was taken from: The Kick Inside was released three weeks later on February 17th 1978.
I know one of you is an avid reader of classic authors. So @nancybriti1 I should find a spanish cover but this was inspired by Emily Brontë's novel "Wuthering Heights".
It shows off Kate's vocal range and theatrics on stage!
It is one of her most iconic songs and a brilliant debut song I think!
Tune 2 ~ Kate Bush - Babooshka
Next up let’s jump forward a couple of years to 1980 and a tune from the album Never for Ever
This one holds a special place for me – Babooshka is the song I mentioned I heard last night and is my absolute favourite Kate Bush song!
Not only is it catchy, and defy you not to say Babooshka but it's shows her storyteling skills as it’s a mini-melodrama condensed into four minutes.
It tells the story of a wife testing her husband's loyalty with a disguise lol.
I also love the Fairlight CMI (that glass-smashing sound!).
Tune 3 ~ Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)
The original was released in 1985.
But it might be familiar to some of you youngsters as ...
"Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush found a massive new audience primarily due to its prominent feature in the fourth season of the popular Netflix series Stranger Things, which was released in 2022.
It is great that she was put back in the spotlight...
Following its inclusion in Stranger Things, the song experienced a dramatic resurgence in popularity:
It topped charts worldwide, including reaching number one in the UK and hitting the top 5 in the US Billboard Hot 100, decades after its original release.
It became a viral sensation on social media platforms like TikTok.
Streaming numbers for the song surged dramatically across various music platforms.
Thank you gemini for those titbits!

I honestly would have thought she would have more albums than that for as long as she has been around. Great stuff!
She never toured as such, so didn't really have the live albums. Her last stuff was released in 2011. The streaming of the last few years is all old stuff. But yeah a great performer.
For sure! She definitely has a unique and magical voice!
Magical indeed
🎉🎉🥳 Congratulations 🥳🎊🎊

Always enjoyed her talent able to bring rare vibrant feel into her songs.
She did have that talent yes
They are nice songs but nothing is familiar to me😬.
Hehe one day you will have heard of a song I post 🤣
Incredible! Incredible her and incredible you, able to bring a variety of unknown singers, so good. Kate Bush is quite an artist: not only the voice, but also the staging, the drama, the strength of the lyrics. I liked all three, but I do think I'll go with Babooshka. I saw that she is going to be in concert in the UK. Maybe this is the opportunity to see her in concert. Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka 🎶A musical embrace
I thought you would love her. Not only does she tell stories with her songs, but she creates theatre with her performances!
Is she really? Now I have to investigate!
A big hug from the heights Nancy:)
Kate Bush, awesome. My favourite track ever by her is "this woman's work" from the late 80's A brilliant track.
Oh and on a side note, she is higher up on the wank bank list than Nicola
Finally you come to your fucking senses!
She was signing posters and albums in a WH Smith on Princes St in Edinburgh when I was a school kid! I asked her to sign a poster of her, she asked my name and signed over her bare cleavage, she was in a leotard and I nearly shot my load there and then! Kate Bush that is not your Nicola 🤣
LOL, lucky lad!! I hope you kept it
Mind you Nicola in a leotard pole dancing, hmmm right I have gardening to do
