Sometimes, a song that’s featured in a show or movie can expose it to a new audience. It’s even better when that exposure gives an older song a new life.

Kate Bush’s song “Running Up That Hill” is a perfect example of this. It was released in 1985 and hit number one on iTunes after being featured in season four of the series Stranger Things more than three decades later.

Music plays a big part on the show. The soundtrack features a slew of 80s hits from artists like Wham!, Duran Duran, The Clash, Peter Gabriel, and more. Episodes from the fifth and final season of the show recently dropped on Netflix, so it sounds like a perfect time to create a playlist of songs that make things just a litte bit stranger.
