Just disvovered this song, have to say I'm loving Pat Benatar's 1980 version more than the 1978 Kate Bush version.

Pat's cover is OK, but it ain't got nothing on Kate's original!

Love me some Kate Bush <3 <3 <3

I didn't realize there were so many covers of this song. I like how Pat took the "Cathy" up an octave at 2:29.

Never knew Pat covered this. Will return after a listen.

Thanks to the Benatar cover I can finally clarify the lyrics. Kate Bush's original is still essential and the loveliest of the two.

Well?

The version I like the most is Kate's 1986 version:

Pat's is a nice but she doesn't really make the song her own. Plus, sans Katie's quirkiness, the song isn't all that. My vote: Kate.

Kate.

I'm loving both, but prefer Pat's. Thanks for your responses.

I'm listening to her version now and I agree. I like her version too.
