Life can be harsh. Feel lighter with video of Australian Kate Bush fans dancing to Wuthering Heights

Here’s a moment of joy for you.

Dozens of people dressed in red, wearing stockings and black sashes, waving their arms just like Kate Bush in the most famous video she made for her 1978 classic Wuthering Heights.

For more than a decade, fans of Bush have been putting off mass communal dances called the Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever. They’ve been held in multiple countries (including Canada), but no one seems to take to them like the Australians.

In Melbourne, apart from getting together and having fun, fans use the event to raise money for an organization that helps women and children get out of abusive situations.

Their numbers, as you’ll see, are well into the hundreds. Here’s the group performance from 2024:

Wouldn’t it be a hoot to see this in Bannerman Park in St. John’s? Just suggesting.

If you need a refresher, here’s the video Kate Bush made herself. It was actually one of two promo videos made to accompany the release of her debut single. One was made in a studio, but the one supposedly set in the wily, windy moors is definitely the one that captured the public imagination.
