On the new episode of SwitchedOnPop, NeatSloan and CharlieHarding talk to StrangerThings composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein about Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” and one of the most exquisite needle drops in recent TV history
Illustration: Iris Gottlieb Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” enters the latest season of Stranger Things during a brooding high-school hallway scene right out of the John Hughes playbook, and it has since bounded up the charts, hitting No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and performing better now than when it peaked at No. 30 upon release.
“Running Up That Hill,” then, is a natural fit for the show, and it plays a pivotal, spoiler-ridden plot point in the show, requiring us to hear the hook multiple times throughout the season — a perfect earworm. But its success is owed to more than just repetition.
Listen to Switched on Pop to hear more about “Running Up That Hill” and one of the most exquisite needle drops in recent television history.
