Kate Bush’s eighties song has become a mass phenomenon since Max discovered it for us in the fourth season of stranger things. Now it’s also viral on TikTok with a little twist that has made her the favorite for dog videos.
The singer OK Jess has made some modifications to the most famous stanza of running up that hillchanging phrases here and there to create the most famous viral TikTok videos with dogs of the moment. the original says:
“If I could I’d make a pact with God and convince him to switch places. I’ve been running down that road, I’ve been running up that hill, I’ve been running up that building. I said, if I could.”
“And if I only could I’d make a deal with God and I’d get him to swap our places. Be running up that road, be running up that hill, be running up that building. Say, if I only could. “
In the new version plus pet-friendly by OK Jess the letter says:
“If I could I would kiss every dog, I just want to squeeze their little faces. My heart is going to explode, I swear to God that we will never ever deserve them.”
“And if I only could I’d kiss every dog, I just want to squish their faces. My heart’s gonna explode, I swear to God that we’ll never ever deserve them.”
The result is videos on social networks of beautiful dogs and puppies, smooching and snuggling to the rhythm of the eighties, with a very clear message of love. As the new improved lyrics say, “we don’t deserve them”.
The purest will say that the song of stranger things was much better, but OK Jess fans have acknowledged in the comments that This Kate Bush Hit Update Was Just What They Needed. We think the same, nothing ltike a good video of dogs to improve anything.
