Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting, the epic second single from her 1985 album Hounds Of Love, has been sampled and covered before. Most notable is Something Good by Utah Saints, which sampled the song’s line “I just know that something good is going to happen”.

American production duo Just Us take it one step further. Last year, they released a bootleg remix, called Everytime It Rains. It featured Kate’s original vocals as well as musical samples from Cloudbusting. Alas, these have disappeared from the final version, presumably because of copyright issues.

Effectively, what’s left is a cover version that sounds largely like an updated version of the original. But I think it’s been updated very sophisticatedly.
