The Divine Comedy - Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush cover)

[@jimbolger264]

Neil Hannon is one of the most underrated artists ever, an underrated intellectual who never got the credit he deserves.

[@yessanknow302]

he's not poor

[@quadropheniaguy9811]

But we think he is brilliant so that's all that matters.👍

[@keithtimmins8103]

The man is so talented and modest. Adds a touch of humour to everything. Doesnt take himself too seriously.

[@guidamoura8777]

this guy is amazing at everything. He could sing the grocery store list and sound great

[@TheDaddyO44]

or even just speak a list of writers a la 'The Booklovers'

[@ianevans2590]

I agree

[@helenkahajossyova298]

It's six o'clock in the morning, I'm laughing my head off listening to this...what a great start for a brand new day😊😅

[@lokchucklindryfry94]

This was both ridiculous and extremely good

[@Steve-re9md]

How is this guy so talented-even sending this number up he treads the edge of brilliance. I have rediscovered his work, like many I thought his boundaries ended at National Express- How wrong I was!

[@duanefonseca7186]

What a voice. Insanely brilliant!!!

[@DJThor1964]

Alan Partridge, "It's too high, too high..."

[@michaelgadsby]

The register switches and the very british sense of detachment makes this song sound even more deranged than the original :D I like it!

[@sonomaton4040]

That brillant cover was recorded during the Lille's Gig in France, on the 26th of May, 1994 at the Aéronef.

[@remonoronha6190]

Wow! This man is awesome! Divine comedy at their best...

[@Luisabarros7]

Love it, hilarious and beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! :-))

[@alexbalaclava3976]

This guy's a fucking genius even when he messes it up; thanx 4 tearin' it to pieces, Neil, me vulva feels a bit relieved after this, and thanx 4 postin' man!

[@angelariley.9963]

I bloody loved it.

[@g_beets]

this is awesome- at first i dreaded he'd sing the whole thing falsetto lol

[@AlmostAnimixers]

Wow, this is both the best and worst thing I've ever heard.

[@catgilfillan2991]

Nick Ferrazza I was just about to write a comment with the EXACT same thing haha!

[@sahratank7504]

No you must the version from tohider

[@sahratank7504]

No you have to hear the version from tohider ,,,

[@alexjocelyn.4254]

Hahahahahaha

[@RighteousBrother]

Ooh paused at 34 seconds veering dangerously close to Alan Partridge territory

[@didoma73]

The ridiculous falsetto and various animal sounds at the end had me rolling...Neil was destined to cover "Don't You Want Me" after this..

[@florenciaolhagaray]

You are right, Stuart Murdoch

[@kwickeb99]

Amazing..

[@albertoj.depazalvarez5702]

This is f*****g brilliant!!!

[@mariahamilton5305]

"can I get up here?" Answer: yes, sort of! Then looks down and gets an attack of vertigo

[@Bk-zt3ti]

A true masterpiece.

[@vanillaorchid]

I think this a great cover.

[@mluzcastrolosa7919]

Absolutely brilliant,Jarvizcocker.I wonder when and where this epic moment took place.💖

[@rachaelbean1439]

This was interesting in a good way. I liked it best when he sang it straight in a baritone. It is a beautiful song.

[@FrodeJohannessenSlartibartfast]

Loving this cover. :)

[@disturbedcarrot]

The falsetto is crazy

[@batcati2518]

Funny......sense of humour set to max......

[@isabellechevalier7170]

This is FUCKING AWESOME! 💚

[@JoGray1987]

i kinda love this but it's fucking mental at the same time lol

[@DerbJd]

Haha, hilarious! Neil Hannon, Master Satirist. :)

[@blueshoe5331]

Hearing this song in such a low register just feels weird on so many levels, but Neil still makes it work somehow...

[@theresa5114]

Is he citing a well-known poetry from 4:06 onwards? I am curious, but did not quite catch what he said.

[@theyouofyesterday6254]

Think it's 'you are now entering the twilight zone'...?

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH thats good!!!, who would have though it, great cover

[@citizensnid3490]

More Comedy than Divine methinks

[@ElohimJim]

This has to be the best thing I have heard in years.

[@leoniegray6404]

I don't love kate's bush but i do love this version!

[@braddersthemod]

hahaha! genius!

[@marycrawley3828]

Does anyone please please please have a live clip of Neil performing this???

[@theyouofyesterday6254]

I've just found out this was actually fro the Promenade tour in 1994 or 95 (having presumed it was recent!), so its doubtful there is one!

[@Tammas]

How a baritone sings Kate Bush lol...

[@alexjocelyn.4254]

Hahahahahaha 😁😁😁 Amo a Neil, definitivo.

[@hailaminzu]

I think this is awesome xD

[@citizensnid3490]

Must have been half cut when he did it!!! Lolololol

[@emmyaF.I.E.1975]

interesting.....the two part...but sweet

[@jacobvitrillon8476]

j'adore tes chansons

[@mangayoutube2321]

J'aime aussi pour ce commentaire en français c'est si rare 😥

[@saintcarlospena]

this is true insanity

[@asunsol]

Is it possible? Terrible and beautiful at the same time.... thumbs up for the british sense of humour and dare...

[@seanwalsh3926]

he's irish

[@bobbyjoe521]

+Sean Walsh Northern Irish = British

[@seanwalsh3926]

Ehh no it doesn't

[@paulquinnsminddump]

Jake Newland He's from the Republic.

[@anonb4632]

He's not from Britain.

[@bobbiwib]

I want to say I found it easy to pick *gulp*

[@777fiddlekrazy]

I absolutely Love Hannon's Music and some of his Covers but, This one falls short for me. I Think he really could do better. hahaha! Of Course, being male and singing from the perspective of "Cathy" I suppose needs the Mockery Tone in his voice. I LOVE KATE BUSH!!! Back in the day She was Also a Hot lil' Firecracker!!

[@eloisagarcia3300]

I hate Neil Hannon making me actually like this cover!

[@ineffablemars]

Lol people in the comments don’t know who this is

[@mangayoutube2321]

Très chouette

[@mirelluna]

bona versió!!

[@winkywankywoo531]

Beauty in barritone

[@JoaoSantos-ig8zz]

They destroyed the song but made me laugh quite hard in the process! :D

[@heff1964]

Not unlike the version by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

[@gemmajanebrookes5395]

Lol!

[@vehspot]

oh wao °)

[@theresa5114]

With all the weird elements (animal noises, interesting instrumental company...) I still find this songinterpretation kind of touching 😅. His trembling voice with some high vocals, his powerful voice in the beginning and that shouting at the end; I can remember that shitty feeling from the book: Can't you just get together you two idiots? No, it ends in tragic...Well, I don't remember it clearly, but I thought that all the angst was for nothing, I was disappointed. And this song with all its ridiculously, weirdness and so forth captures my feelings about this book pretty good...or I am biased and just like Neil Hannon too much 😂. Anyway, thanks to share this song with us 😊.

[@theresa5114]

I wonder if I am the only one wanting to sing together with him when listening to the song? It sounds like a lot of fun, though a bit morbid, I guess? Sadly, it is quarter past ten and I do not want to horrify my neighbours 😩.

[@keithm.404]

A terrible beauty is born.

[@RianneDoller]

haha they did warn us I believe that it would be terrible

[@mc22b]

Lol

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

I want to see Neil do this in a red dress. Or do I?

[@garrick3727]

I always thought Wuthering Heights was a Divine Comedy song, just sung by someone else.

[@vanillaorchid]

This is great. Most covers of this are rubbish.

[@SOFAD1974]

:))))

[@epuuots]

That's shocking

[@littlewierd0]

at least you tried

[@Dearolor]

Alan Partridge does it better

[@jry5tdhhdf]

cover this properly

[@yessanknow302]

transgender bush

[@chriswieman]

TERRIBLE-y funny.

[@anonb4632]

Horrible production on this.

[@umokay8716]

why are dudes covering her song? doesn't make any sense and it sounds awful. sorry, my opinion. cathy isn't supposed to sound like a man.

[@DavidRLMoore]

***** Why haven't you got a sense of humour, are you a colonial. Oh, that explains it. Nevermind.

[@jdcapshew]

catnaping - Well done, quite funny, Mr. Hannon.
