Wuthering Heights I’m rather fond of is this retro swing treatment from the Puppini Sisters

And to think, I might have gone my whole life without knowing they existed.

Let me translate that into semaphore for you.

One cover of Wuthering Heights I’m rather fond of is this retro swing treatment from the Puppini Sisters… Creeps me out, in a rather jolly way.

Which cover of Kate Bush's gloriously insane Wuthering Heights makes your ears cry louder?

The Wolfmother lasted less than 60 seconds due to sheer tuneless incompetence – but tuneless incompetence isn't that hard to find. I can do it myself effortlessly. A train wreck on the scale of the Hayley…

When covering Kate’s bush, I favour the Placebo effect.

Oh, and speaking of Hounds of Love, they do that other song too.

I showed off my ukulele homage to an audience, based on this version

My daughter developed her ukulele cover before hearing the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's version. I'd call it successful in that people have given her money when playing it busking.

The idea of covering Wuthering Heights with anything other than ironical intent is a bit of a mystery to me. Especially since I'm not convinced Kate herself wasn't taking the piss.

But when, after days of practice, I showed off my ukulele homage to an audience, based on this version…

Sounds like a village on the Smut branch line. Boobage, Sandy Balls, Rimswell, Hole of Horcum, Fingringhoe, pass through Fanny Hands Lane and your service terminates at Titlington Mount.

There's also Fucking, Austria (population 104), Mt Wank, Germany, and Dildo, Newfoundland (pop approx 300).

But no amount of tit (or long hanging peen, come to that) is going to mask the sound of ill-written exposition clunking over the points.

Yeah but I'm very busy and important, I like to multitask. I got story AND porn rolled into one, which saves me risking all kinds…

It's almost like there's a timewarp back to the more innocent days of 70's Eurotrash sexploitation when boobies were delightful shorthand for "we are so decadent".

I was pretty uncomfortable with the books' treatment of the Dothraki generally, so the casual nudity in their scenes was only part of my…

I thought that graphic sex acts were their own reason?

Generally, not — Tyrion's whore-habit does have a point, and a rather poignant one. The topless extras roaming around every damn Dothraki scene (oh, those wild uninhibited natives!) and adding nothing to the scene with Littlefinger. It's almost like there's…

Someone bet me to Noel Fielding's brilliant interpretation of "Wuthering Heights." I've soon this clip to numerous contemporary dancers and choreographers and I've yet to see anyone in the profession think it is less that stellar.

Sexposition indeed. Clearly HBO have set themselves a bar to clear in gratuitous scenes, and they're going to keep raising it.

My favourite version of 'Wuthering Heights' is me and all my friends wailing along and waving our arms like wacky inflatable car yard men. But this is a close second:
