Let's not forget that the late great Donald Sutherland was working in the UK when Kate Bush asked him to be in a music video. When they wouldn't give him a work permit to make it, he did the video for free.
Official music video for the single "Cloudbusting" written, produced and performed by the British singer Kate Bush. It was the second single released from he...
So a chill song for the summer. First heard this in 1986 and adored it. Then the artist re-recorded and remixed it in 1988, ruining it and destroying the chill vibe. All future mixes have continued this trend. Every version I found on YouTube were the awful remixes. I had to turn to Spotify to find the glorious original version, and even then listened to a bunch of crap mixes to find it.

So a brief return of #SpongeysSongOfTheDay So I can ask a question.
What is that one song that if it comes up you will never ever skip?
Mine is The Cars "Drive".
Edit: @preciousoso replied that they had many, so if you have many songs you won't skip just post one at random. I'm curious..
So just a heads up, #SpongeysSongOfTheDay is going on hiatus for a bit. This is the 60th song I've posted. I will be posting a playlist with the first 60 (mostly) in the order I posted them in the next few days.
So we're closing out what I'm calling season one with my favorite Frankie Goes to Hollywood song. Rage Hard.
Trivia: I once made a 17 minute long mix of this song.
There is a strong possibility this is my favorite song of all time. Just so many little things going on in the background, coupled with the Bee Gees amazing lyrical abilities not to mention THAT VOICE.
While I'd had songs I'd been obsessed with prior to this as a kid, I always felt Ultravoxβs "Viennaβ was the song where I matured in my appreciation for music.
Okay I was only 10 years old but I started to develop much more of an interest in music and music production starting with this song.

Also just wanted to say that when I hit 60 songs, which is in about 3 days I think, the song of the day will be going on hiatus for a little bit.
Criminally underrated artists for today's song. Nik Kershaw.
Video worth watching for the people dancing. Particularly on the boardroom table. π
Yesterday we had Neil Hannon on backing vocals, let's move him up to the front today so we can all have Something for the Weekend...
My favourite Robbie Williams song today. Great song that I really relate to, and notable for the backing vocals of the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant, and Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy.
In 1987 Genesis toured America. Phil Collins discovered and was fascinated by TV evangelists.
On 1991's βWe Can't Dance", Phil wrote a song as one.
The official Genesis channel has sadly butchered this video removing the beginning with Phil as an evangelist, and censoring part of the video.
This is the full and glorious uncensored version.
Touch the screen! Touch the screen!
Happy Easter (Yes this timing was very deliberate π)
