Seconds ago, I just saw Kate Bush in the video for "Running Up That Hill"
for the second time.  (It's sort of growing on me.)  Mind you, each of the
two times I saw a completely different video.

The first time was on MTV a few days ago, and I was very very unimpressed.
What I saw (only the latter half, I guess) was Kate and a bunch of guys
(some of whom were strumming guitars) standing there staring into the
distance with wind blowing looking a bit like a WHAM publicity shot, but
with more flowing exotic clothing.

The second time (just now) was on a local video music channel (U-68, WWHT,
in the NYC area) which has played a lot of alternative video (last night
I saw Nico!).  This video was more a lyrical dance video, in which Bush
and a male dancer embraced and flailed about (she was often trying to
outstretch to exceed his ability to grasp her), followed by Bush trapped
in a corridor trying to break out of a group of clones of some sort.

I assume the MTV version is the "acceptable" Americanized version for
banal American markets.  Is the other the original British video?
