Rocket Man

A recent airline commercial in the USA uses Elton John's Rocket Man
tune as a major part (an unidentified female singer, not Kate). This
and a recent rehearing of Elton's own singing of it, brought to mind
Kate's version.  Has anyone done a cover of it that even approaches
the Kate Bush version?

If we were to have a list of favorite covers by Kate, RM would be my
top choice.   Wellllll, OK, here goes:

Favorite covers by Kate:

1. Rocket Man (wonderful!)
2. Brazil (just wish it were a lot longer)
3. The Handsome Cabin Boy (I know, its a "traditional")
4. Lord Of The Reedy River (but you could overlay the Donovan track
   and have pretty close to a duet)
