This could be watching and/or listening to. 37 years later kids have discovered a song that they apparently really like. Originally in 1985 it only got to #3, yesterday it was #1.
Kate Bush says the 'world has gone mad' over Stranger Things song
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-61885400
Singer Kate Bush has said her sudden popularity with a new audience after her recent Stranger Things-inspired chart success has been "very special".
Running Up That Hill went to number one on Friday after being featured heavily in Netflix's sci-fi drama series.
"It's just extraordinary," she told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour on Wednesday.
"It's such a great series. I thought that the track would get some attention. But I just never imagined that it would be anything like this."
She continued: "It's so exciting. But it's quite shocking really, isn't it? I mean, the whole world's gone mad."
The song originally reached number three in 1985, but took off again 37 years later when a new generation discovered it through Stranger Things.
The tune is used in a number of episodes of the fourth series, and becomes crucial for the character of Max Mayfield, played by Sadie Sink.
In a rare interview, the 63-year-old singer told presenter Emma Barnett it felt "wonderful" that her music had "got to a whole new audience", many of whom had previously not heard of her.
"The thought of all these really young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is, well, I think it's very special," she said.
Asked whether it was important for her that the song helps a female character, Bush, who has been a fan of the show since it began, replied: "I think they've put it in a really special place.
"The Duffer brothers created the series and actually we watched it from the first series onwards, so I was already familiar with the series. And I thought, what a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way.
"You know, as a kind of talisman almost for Max. And yeah, I think it's very touching, actually."
Running Up That Hill has also recently gone to number one in countries including Australia, Belgium and Sweden, and number four in the US - her first ever appearance in the Billboard top five.

Carlos Santana: Legendary US guitarist collapses on stage
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62059167
Legendary US guitarist Carlos Santana has collapsed on stage during an open-air concert near Detroit, Michigan.
Medical personnel treated the 74-year-old in Clarkston on Tuesday, and he was taken to a local hospital's emergency department for observation.
Santana, who was born in Mexico, later wrote on his Facebook page that he "forgot to eat and drink water" and "so I dehydrated and passed out".
His manager Michael Vrionis said the musician was doing well.
However, he added that a show planned for Wednesday in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, "will be postponed to a later date".
Footage has emerged showing Santana being helped off stage at Clarkson's Pine Knob Music Theatre. In the video, the star waved to the audience as he was wheeled away on a stretcher.
Representatives for the 10-time Grammy Award winner said he was suffering from "heat exhaustion and dehydration".
The guitarist and his band Santana have been touring in North America with their Miraculous Supernatural show.
They rose to fame in the 1960s and 70s, pioneering a fusion of rock 'n' roll and Latin American jazz.
Among the band's biggest hits are Black Magic Woman, The Game of Love and Oye Como Va.
Today, Santana is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, thanks to a distinctive style characterised by long, sustained notes, dextrous runs and Latin rhythms.
Prince called him a bigger influence than Jimi Hendrix, saying: "Santana played prettier."
In 1998, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2015, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him 20th on a list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
Last February, Santana and other members of the band tested positive for Covid and had to cancel several shows.
In December, the guitarist cancelled a number of performances in Las Vegas after he had an unspecified and unscheduled heart procedure.

Re: Music - what are people listening to now?
I remember my first holiday abroad to Spain in either 1971 or 72 and walking along the beach they were playing Santana’s Samba Pa Ti - I loved it then and still love it now
Re: Music - what are people listening to now?
It may sound silly to say that a war made a musician, but his music exploded during the Vietnam episode starting in about 1970 (especially Black Magic Woman), and is held dear by everyone I know from that time. I hope he pulls through whatever is wrong with him.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 3:42 pm I remember my first holiday abroad to Spain in either 1971 or 72 and walking along the beach they were playing Santana’s Samba Pa Ti - I loved it then and still love it now

A good few years back I bought a Paul Reed Smith guitar to try and capture that Santana sound. Never came close...
