Even “Ghost Adventures” star Zak Bagans can’t stop listening to Kate Bush!
On Tuesday, the owner of The Haunted Museum in downtown Las Vegas took to his Instagram Stories to promote her hit song, “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God).” The song was the first single from her 1985 album “Hounds of Love” and entered the U.K. charts at the #9 spot. It eventually peaked at #3 in the U.K. and reached the top 30 in the U.S.
However, the song was recently featured in season 4, episode 4 of the Netflix hit series, “Stranger Things,” which has revived its popularity so much that even the Travel Channel star can’t stop listening to it!
Zak Bagans Has ‘Running Up That Hill’ Stuck In His Head… Just Like Everyone Else!
On Tuesday afternoon, Zak Bagans shared the song with his followers on his Instagram Stories.
“I have no idea why this random song has been stuck in my head for 3 days,” he wrote. “Now get it stuck in yours.”
It’s not clear if the recent “Halloween Wars” host has actually seen “Stranger Things” or not, but it’s a pretty catchy song! The video for the song can be seen below for those who may not have heard it before, or for anyone who just wants to give it another listen!
Kate Bush is now 67, and although she has been notoriously private in the past, she has been pretty vocal about how happy she is that fans love her old song!
She recently took to her website to create a blog post thanking “Stranger Things” creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, known collectively as the Duffer brothers, for using her song in the hit Netflix series!
Kate Bush Thanks The Duffer Brothers For Using ‘Running Up That Hill’ In ‘Stranger Things’
In a recent post on her website, Kate Bush thanked the Duffer brothers for including the song in “Stranger Things” and featuring it in “a positive light.”
“The Duffer Brothers have created four extraordinary series of Stranger Things in which the child actors have grown into young adults,” she began. “In this latest series the characters are facing many of the same challenges that exist in reality right now. I believe the Duffer Brothers have touched people’s hearts in a special way, at a time that’s incredibly difficult for everyone, especially younger people.”
“By featuring Running Up That Hill in such a positive light – as a talisman for Max (one of the main female characters) – the song has been brought into the emotional arena of her story,” she continued, outing herself as a true “Stranger Things” fan. “Fear, conflict, and the power of love are all around her and her friends.”
“I salute the Duffer Brothers for their courage – taking this new series into a much more adult and darker place. I want to thank them so much for bringing the song into so many people’s lives,” she went on. “I’m overwhelmed by the scale of affection and support the song is receiving and it’s all happening really fast, as if it’s being driven along by a kind of elemental force.”
“I have to admit I feel really moved by it all,” she concluded. “Thank you so very much for making the song a No 1 in such an unexpected way. Kate.” As The Blast previously reported, the single recently rose to the number one spot on Billboard’s Global 200 charts.
