This actually sounds like the sort of chord progression & melody Kate would have used at the time! And RIP Michael Staniforth…this pastiche actually shows what a talented and sophisticated songwriter he was!
Don't tell me you aren't now tempted to bring us Michael Staniforth's version of Wuthering Heights that he did for a bet after having an argument with the sound guy.
I'm not sure what's funnier, Kate Bush singing the Rentaghost theme, or that fact that I read the "Kate Bush wrote the theme..." and believed... until you said otherwise 🤣
It is no exaggeration to say that the Rentaghost theme has been a major influence on my musical career! This might also explain why, despite briefly writing songs for Sting and the Pet Shop Boys that career hasn't yet taken off.... but I am working on that. 😁🇬🇧🦇 Great work Sir, but in all fairness I do still prefer the original. It really is a whimsical masterpiece, but thank you for the memories.
@@BeesWaxMinder Chapter one (The Discovery) The VERY short version. In 1989-90 I lost everything, not just because of the financial crash but because it was clear that my Ulcerative Colitis was trying to kill me. So I ended up having to have all of my large intestine removed, and now being being unable to work for a year, and weighing less than a sparrow… I had tried to hand the keys to my shop back to the bank, but they informed me that unknown to me, my father had signed as guarantor for my mortgage… So if I declare bankruptcy, my parents would lose their home too! So now unable to take a year off, resting, trying to adapt to having shall we say a temporary ‘appliance’, I had to take any work I could… I lied through my teeth about my qualifications (I don’t have any) and even blagged being a bank-manager for six months (in the hope of borrowing some cheap money and perhaps saving my empire)… Ultimately I was told to leave the bank, and I ended up picking in a warehouse, but the exercise was great, and I did enjoy the luxury of being paid to daydream. It was there (Partco) where I met Tom. Tom was the typical pot-smoking spoiled rich-kid. We hit it off for the grand total of one week, perhaps because I am not a pot-smoker, nor am I a university-educated rich kid. I knew Tom for long enough to be invited back to his uncles house where he lived with his sister. As soon as I walked into Tom’s bedroom I pointed to the long table underneath the window and asked, “What’s under the sheet?” “Just my keyboard and music computer, I don’t use it “ It was a Commodore C64 running Cubase Pro-16, along with a Yamaha DX7 (mother keyboard) and a Casio CZ-101 (Strings), Yamaha FB-01 (Bass), Yamaha R100 reverb unit and all the cables…. No microphone, but Tom wasn’t a singer. I said to Tom, “I will give you five hundred quid for all that” “DEAL” he said… “as long as my uncle doesn’t see you taking it!” I had never even sat in front of a computer before, but I knew this was the start of something. So now even more broke, … I set to work. This single event truly saved my life! Before I spend all day typing here. Let me know if you want the rest Beeswax? Best wishes. 🎶
@@BeesWaxMinder Hello Mate. Spent an hour typing a reply but it keeps getting deleted? Think It might be to long, but thank you for inspiring me to start typing the inception of this adventure. I will send a VERY brief story below without all of the twists and turns/romance.
I'd forgotten about rentaghost, thanks for reminding me. I used to love it. The Meakers, the Mcwitch and Nadia Popov. Achoo! I'd like to hear Kate take on Toyah...IEYA
I bought the complete series one on DVD a few years back. I have several videos that I used to tape off UK gold before college in the 90s. More my Rentaghost era too.
was hooked on Rentaghost as a 70,s kid, also a fan of Kate. but only now do I realise she sang the theme tune.😆hang on waSNT IT A GUY THAT SANG THE THEME? I MUST BE TRIPPING.
This Gen X'er approves!. It sounds as if this should really have happened...maybe in a "Fringe" alt-verse way...does that mean we get "Wuthering Claypole?" in return?. "The Hounds of McWitch?"...
So many people rave about how great Rent-A-Ghost was I now wish I’d been born a bit earlier. As it is, I had to make do with a science fiction show called Galloping Galaxies and Paul Jones in the Uncle Jack adventures.
The thing to remember with this one is that while ai provided something that sounded a bit like Kate Bush there is a lot of manual mixing and effects to make it all work.
@@Doctor_Random not a criticism at all- you combined 2 of my favourite things and it's totally plausible Kate Bush could have written this! Given her woeful lack of output in recent years, roll on the whole Kate Bush cover album where this software takes on all the songs Kate should have sung!
@@Doctor_Random I'm guessing you doing this purely for fun coz no way you'd get monetized using her "voice" with that copyrighted theme with clips of her? Correct me if I'm wrong
I love this BBC / theatre stories. These should all be put in a book of TV rumours. I have a few from my theatre days! And I know ex-bbc who have a few as well. A series of re-imaginings could be on the cards
It's a Real pity Michael Staniforth didn't get to record more stuff.. after CB in Starlight Express, he should've got to do a kids show with Christopher Lillicrap.. I can Easily see him covering Anything from 'the kick inside '.. them heavy people, perhaps? Or not the nine o clock news' 'Leotard'..
This is apposite. I hope the old gal dusts off her pipes and gives this a go. The other use of the current technology which works well is Syd Barrett singing Wish you were here.
You got me thinking about Ann Emery ( Dick’s Sister) who played Ethel Meaker singing Tangerine🤣, just think of AI generated hits by Ethel Meaker, the possibilities🤣🤣
@@Doctor_Random Have to say I was at a friend's house when she played Kate singing about a washing machine and was going 'swoosh-swoosh'. I did wonder what would happen when she clicked onto the spin cycle. So, this is a roundabout way of saying this isn't the weirdest thing I've heard Kate perform. I would like to hear Mr Claypole doing 'Wuthering Heights'.
The AI attempts to make the initial voice match (it's not usually not fit for sharing at that stage and needs further work form a human. So for this one I mixed three separate vocal tracks of Kate Bush. Lionheart era, Kick in Side era and Hounds of Love era (for a bit more bass). Then played with compression chorus, etc. I had a made a couple of final mixes and choose this one. The video is all me.

All we need now is for Kate to see this and actually release it as a single.
Perhaps a themed album 😂
@@Doctor_Random Perhaps her 'lost' versions of 'Ghostbusters', 'Monster Mash', 'Thriller' and other 'horrific' songs could also (at long last) be 'recovered' for this album?👻🧛🦇🐍 (LOL).

Kate Bush singing Rentaghost would be a good match.
@@Doctor_Random And a tour. 🤣
All of my doubts and misgivings about AI being used to create art have been smashed to pieces by the superbity of this amazing artefact.
Thank you :)
And GenX leading the way 😂
It’s just been dubbed over and re-edited. This sort of thing has been going a lot longer than AI has been around.
You won't say that when it's used by governments to mislead and lie to the public. You just know that's coming.
Superbity is not a word, freak.😅
My f***cking life is complete!
Two of my favourite childhood thing coming together.
God, you can take me now! 🙏
😂
She has exactly the right voice for this song. Melodic with a strong element of spooky. Positively ethereal.
It works so well :)
It does,let's see if we can get in touch with Kate and ,and make it happen.
This is just what my day needed. Thank you.
I’ve just walked around Morrisons listening to this.
Excellent :) 👍
What..Jim Morrison's?
@@kenpudsey6435 bathroom's out of bounds

That's a killer breakbeat in the Rentaghost theme
@@MathewTizard it is indeed :)

Or floating above it :)
Nice to hear his laugh kept in at the end.
One rock and roll too many
@@karmelodion CB Starlight Express?
@@Titan604 Hello!
Flipside: Michael Staniforth (Timothy Claypole) sings Wuthering Heights!
Immediately added to my "imaginary cover versions" list...
I DO hope Kate gets to hear this. I have very fond memories of Rentaghost and I’ve loved Kate’s work from day one. I bet she’d find it funny 🤣
Funnily enough, Michael Staniforth (the jester) always reminded me of Paddy Bush, Kate's brother.
I'm not sure what's funnier, Kate Bush singing the Rentaghost theme, or that fact that I read the "Kate Bush wrote the theme..." and believed... until you said otherwise 🤣
😂
Great concept Kate Bush and Rentaghost - a marriage made literally in Heaven😮😮😮😅😅
😂
Didn't Rent-A-Ghost start at around the same time Kate first achieved fame?
Rentaghost started in 1976 and Wuthering Heights was released early 1978, I think.
@@Doctor_Random There we go.
Bushtastic retro memories and some spoooky paranormal AI-tivity.
What a fantastic production 🎼👻🎼
Thank you 👻😀
A haunting melody.

Well this is a bit bloody brilliant innit? Together at last! You had me at the sound effect at the beginning. Amazing job 👍🏻
Thank you :)

Be great if this was remade
I'm lifelong Kate fan and this needed to be done. I LOVE IT
