Ahh, another BOS to "Running Up That Hill".  Best song without a bass guitar!

if that's true, I'm going to have to remove my BOS!
 

  It's twoo.  Kate Bush recorded Hounds of Love without any bass guitar.  I watched a documentary on the making of the album recently.  I had no idea, but now that they mentioned it.....

I can't tell if I loathe or love this Animotion song.

Wikipedia lists Del Palmer as the bass player on the track, but if you saw a documentary, then I guess it must be true.

I found part of the documentary on YouTube.  It's pretty fascinating, if you watch the whole thing.  But then again, I like this kinda stuff!
If you wanna skip all the technichal stuff (and why wouldya?) they talk about the bass-less thing around the 2.50 mark.
