Absolutely love this cover. Punchy, happy, with a hint of hidden sorrow, like a vindictive ex pretending they're over you and are trying not to break down.
We have been blessed to have these fine folks willing to come to Orono, Maine for concerts - I love them, I love this version of WH, and I love ukulele. Stay well, all!
I heard this on Radio 4 last week and it has been on my mind ever since. Absolutely brilliant version of Wuthering Heights; singer has a great voice and the band...changed my idea about ukulele's forever. Great music! Thanks
+Kathy Horne Get one yourself! They're very easy to learn and so much fun. I bought one online and taught myself via You tube lessons and sites like Ultimate Guitar. You can find the chords to just about any song you like and, once you know 3 or 4 basic chords, you're on your way. Best thing I ever bought for myself. I was playing songs within the first hour.
Oh, so cool. What a great rendition of this song. I'm so glad I've started listening to the Ukulele orchestra. I want to start a ukulele orchestra in my local area.
Like others have commented it was great to hear the lyrics clearly as the late, great George sang them in the 1920's, Honey Pie style. Complete with vibrato. Vale George.
I finally got the lyrics to this song! I finally heard them sung clearly. Bush's version is awesome, but man she sings it like a cat HEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAATHCLEEEEEEEEEEEEEF,it´s MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
piedpiperpianos, the last line is from The Beatles, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band when they introduce "the act you've known for all these years...Billy Shears"
Good question. I dug around in Google for a while and came to a figure for the UK. Public performance royalty is 4.8% of box office take for classical and 3% for pop. That money is then distributed to the song-writers whose songs were used, proportionate to the length of each piece.
