Synopsis

A high-energy collage links Utah Saints' rave production with imagery from Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting." Rapid edits, performance shots, abstract visuals, and excerpts from Bush's original film create a deliberately fragmented, psychedelic atmosphere rather than a conventional narrative. The video turns the sampled vocal hook into a visual celebration of motion and anticipation, matching the track's pounding rhythms and repeated promise that "something good" is about to happen.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video incorporates footage from Kate Bush's 1985 "Cloudbusting" video, making the connection between the source material and the Utah Saints track unusually explicit.

• Bush's vocal comes from "Cloudbusting," including the recognizable line about knowing that something good is going to happen. She also received a songwriting credit.

• The sample was cleared before release. Despite later rumors, Kate Bush did not sue Utah Saints over its use.

• Jez Willis recalled that the vocal had to be pitch-bent at the beginning to keep it in time with the track. The limited synchronization technology available in 1992 made the process technically awkward.

• The production was mixed by Guy Hatton, who helped keep together the track's dense combination of electronic sounds, rock-oriented elements, and sampled vocals.

• Released in 1992, "Something Good" became Utah Saints' biggest UK hit, reaching No. 4. It also reached No. 7 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart.

• The BBC used the song during coverage of the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, helping associate the track with large-scale public spectacle.

• The original 1992 video should not be confused with the separate "Something Good '08" video, which was made for the 2008 remake and is built around a story set in a Cardiff bar and the Running Man dance.
